Review from Vivian D.

Since we were going to be Tiburon for the afternoon, I quickly yelped to see where all of the shopping was and saw all of the boutiques were located on Main St. Spotted all of the great reviews for Citrus and made a mental note to watch out for this shop.
Citrus is a tiny boutique jam packed with everything you need to accessorize your outfits. Everything is organized and displayed well where nothing is cluttered but every inch of the retail space is used.
Employees were extremely pleasant but never overbearing even in such close quarters. They all seemed genuine and enthusuastic to help without invading on your personal space or if you just wanted to browse quietly.
After eyeing all of the colorful purses, belts, and shoes, I came upon a gray clutch I simply could not resist. Price points were affordable for a boutique but my only regret was not mentioning Yelp to receive my 20% off! I remembered right after leaving the store... :(
I didn't stay bummed for too long considering my purchase was not too expensive...but it the additional discount would've made it THAT much better! I am saddened I will probably not be able to make the trek back up to Citrus for quite a while...So many unique and affordable pieces to spice up your wardrobe. A must go if you are in the area! -

This has to be one of the cutest little boutiques ever!
While visiting Tiburon, I stopped by this little shop and was so overwhelmed by its cuteness factor.
They don't carry apparel, just shoes, accessories, jewelry and some small home goods (i.e.-soap, candles, etc).
Their jewelry selection was so unique because most of it was from local designers.
They have some great shoes...mostly designers like Sam Edelman, Seychelles, etc.
I will admit that their prices are a bit steep...but it all depends on what kind of shopper you are and what you decide to spend your money on.
If you're in Tiburon, they are definitely a must-visit! -

My friends and I stopped into this store about a month ago now. It is full of unique and cute items, and the woman in the store that day was very friendly.
My friend fell in love with a pair of boots which she ended up dropping $1,200 on! They were embedded with Swarovski crystals, and I must say, stunning. But the next day when she wore them to work, several of the crystals fell off. Long story short, she is still waiting for them to be repaired and sent back to her, which will be a few weeks more if all goes well. When I asked if the staff at Citrus were being sufficiently apologetic, she said not sufficiently. There have been needless delays and she has to keep calling them to find out what the status on the repairs are and when she can expect them back.
I'm annoyed for her. I mean come on, when you spend that much money on a pair of shoes, is it too much to ask for some quality and good customer service? I will not return here after this. -

The stuff is really cute in here and the owner is nice but don't shop here if you're claustrophobic and don't like a salesgirl up your ass.

I came across this cute little boutique after a fun girls lunch at Sam's Anchor Cafe. We had some time before catching the ferry, and decided to do a little shopping. There are some great finds in this little shop. Their selection of shoes and bags were to die for. I ended up buying a Melie Bianco bag that I fell in love with for $96. Prices vary in this store. My friend tried on a pair of the cutest sandals for $40, and also fell in love with a handbag that was $250. There's something for everyone in this store, so don't hesitate to come in here thinking it's way out of your wallet's league-- it might not be! I'm excited to take my mom here when she comes out to visit. This is just the type of place she'd love! I'll be back, possibly for another Melie Bianco as I'm LOVING the bag I purchased! P.S. The staff is fun, friendly, and helpful.

Citrus is a fabulous little boutique filled with unique treasures and friendly employees. It's about three doors down from Sam's, and it's the most reasonably priced (and friendliest) of all the boutiques on Main Street in Tiburon.
The shop seems to specialize in knock-off handbags--the good kind that don't try to emulate the Coach label, but instead just mimic the style & colors of the best bags. I also picked up a sick pair of open-toed heels that would have cost me upwards of $80 somewhere else, but set me back only a cool $45 here.
Looking for an afternoon getaway with the girlfriends? Forget Napa or the Ferry Building--take the ferry to Tiburon, have lunch, and stop here for some cutesy shopping & attentive service. -

The moment I walked after parking the car, saw Citrus and knew that I will end up buying something from here. Awesome display of bags, accessories, scarfs, clothes and many more. Day before I saw Gucci bamboo bag collection and saw a bamboo handle bag sitting in Citrus shop. The staff said that the bag is inspired from Gucci collection made by another designer. Had I known that they have offer through yelp, I would have made use of it on my new bamboo bag =) So another excuse to drive up to Citrus.. yay!

Citrus is the cutesy store ever. They have such a great variety of unique items from shoes to handbags, jewelry, baby items and much more. The prices vary from reasonable to pricey. I think everyone could find something they like in this store. The only thing I was a bit turned off by was the sales staff..dont get me wrong...I like personal attention when I go into a store but I don't need to have them talk to me the whole time I'm in there. They were trying to make a sale they were just a little too attentive..which I can't believe I am even saying that. When I shop I like to just browse and enjoy my time with would having to interact with others the whole time. Anyways this is an amazing store and if you haven't gone there yet your really missing out!

Another one-of-a-kind in Tiburon!
And for Marin County the prices are FABULOUS!
Citrus is a small shop, but with lots of interesting tidbits to explore and buy.
Let me tell you right off the bat - THIS IS NOT A GUY PLACE! Not unless your GF is really into cute & color & unique . . . and then you have found the PERFECT PLACE to pick up a little something for that special occasion (or just because you love her?) that will ring her chimes!
The shop is right in the middle of Main Street, water side. Service is great! These folks, of course, are here to sell you something, but they make the whole experience a friendly picnic sort of day.
Note: Prices are VERY REASONABLE FOR TIBURON. -

I always find fantastic things - my favorite are their handbags, shoes, and fun little gifts. They used to have a bit more of a jewelry selection - I wish they would carry a bit more. Prices run from bargan to elite... and their sales are fantastic!

Ditto the other reviews- the stuff here is cheap and incredibly cute.
All their shoes are under 48 bucks and the ones on sale are around 25 bucks! I got some hot YELLOW patent leather strappy sandals here for 40 bucks - what a deal!
Some of the purses/wallets and such are a little too girly/frilly/animal print/covered in hearts for my taste, but you can get some brand-name stuff like Marc Jacobs or Yves St. Laurent wallets and clutches for under 40 bucks here.
The sales lady said spring and summer are the times they get the most shoe selection - I'll be back to stock up next season! -

It's like the thrill of the hunt, looking for the next little black dress to add to the collection, amazing statement bag, or perfect shade of lip gloss, and when you find it and pounce upon your prey, pay, and take it home, all those baser animal instincts we take for granted kick into high gear.
It is no surprise, then, that when I entered the boutique Citrus with plenty of fun, juicy purses and shoes that I myself would give in to my natural instincts. My friend Jess and I were perusing the merchandise: shiny patent royal purple frame satchels, jewel toned strappy sandals, white studded clutches with matching wallets and shoes, all very reasonably priced. We were in veritable shopaholic heaven. But it wasn't until we reached the very back of the store so that Jess could pay for a great braided leather white bag that I actually felt like I had died and gone to heaven: atop a crisp white shelf was the most perfect black leather bag. Cue parting clouds, bright glowing light, and angelic hymns.
I pulled the bag down from its place of honor and carefully plied it open. The rich smell of its leather seduced me as the design of the bag itself begged me to carry it in the crook of my arm. I asked the boutique owner Kelly if I could put the bag on hold. As politely as one could when breaking another's heart, Kelly told me no, she didn't hold any items in her store because she liked to keep the inventory moving. As I looked around I could tell that this wasn't difficult. Everything in the store was beautiful and ranged in style so that hippies and yuppies alike would find something to take home and treasure.
Myself being a proud yuppie, I naturally gravitated toward the most chic and expensive thing in the entire store. I held the bag protectively, not wanting any other potential buyer-predators to snatch it away from me. After a few minutes of quick calculations, I realized that the bag would not only make me incredibly happy now, it was an investment for my closet. I could no longer resist the siren song of Citrus.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from C L.
Valencia, CA

We had time to kill while waiting for the Angel Island ferry, and my mom suggested we stop in here while the guys got coffee. What an adorable store! They have clothing, gifts shoes, slippers and the BEST handbags. I fell in love with a lemon yellow leather bag that I almost scooped up, but I would not be able to enjoy our angel island excursion with shopping bags. I also coveted this soft yellow and green stripped hoodie that I can only describe as "Yummy". It was so cozy looking. There's no way that I would find any use for it in the Valencia heat, so I took a pass on it. I highly recommend the handbags here. Definitely unique and one of a kind. The staff is very personable too (unlike some other stores on the street).

Love this store! My husband and I were in town celebrating our anniversary, and staying near the store. We went in to check it out, and man I fell in love! Everything in there is adorable and affordable! The ladies working there were super sweet and very helpful too! I ended up buying a beautiful candle, I can't wait to burn it! I will be returning on my next trip for sure!

Citrus is so much fun! Their shoes, bags, accessories are out of this world at really reasonable prices! I know... you wouldn't think that in Tib, but it's true... Bought a beautiful purse this past weekend and going back for their incoming spring shoe arrival this week :-))

Love this place. The ladies here are SO nice and attentive, and the store has some really gorgeous purses, supercute shoes, and great-smelling candles. And while I wouldn't call any of the merchandise cheap, I was pleasantly surprised to find it not remotely overpriced. Def want to come back here again.

I love this store and its owner! My husband and I stay at The Lodge in Tiburon at least once a year and now a trip to Citrus for a new bag is always included! I have found the most beautiful bags and never leave the store empty handed! The prices are amazing and the selection is always current and fun!!! Make sure you stop by if you are in the neighborhood and even if you aren't, it is well worth a drive across the Golden Gate Bridge!!
