A friend of mine keeps bringing the family bundt cakes from your store. For the love of everything good in my life, please keep doing what you're doing!

I absolutely love this store. More than Mochi does.

I've been coming here for the past year and Dog Bone never fails. I've ordered a number of tags from them - through Red Dingo - and they always call right away and let me know when it's come in. And there hasn't been a mistake so far!

I also love coming in to browse because they have tons of cutesy things for your 4 legged friends. Yes, it can be a little on the expensive side but the people that work here are truly interested in helping you find what you need.

I entered into a raffle for fun a few months ago and actually won a cute T-Shirt with the Dog Bone Alley logo on it. I love it! I wear it on weekends when I'm running errands - it pairs perfectly with my sweat pants to complete that "I'm a crazy dog person" look (:

The staff here is knowledgeable, super nice, and they have really great accessories. Mochi is definitely a Dog Bone Alley dog and I love supporting this local business. Stop by!

I love that chicken pesto calzone like theres no tomorrow. My eyes used to light up like a kids on Christmas when it was on the table, looking all glorious.

But lately, it's been coming out super cold in the middle. So disappointing. And the last time, they put it back in the oven and forgot about it; then gave it back to me looking like a burnt football.

Sucks :(

Usually, this place is good. The past 4 times, though, not so much. Heat my calzone thoroughly damnit, is it that hard?!

It's been almost 4.5 years since my last review so I thought it was time to update - Industrial is still my go-to place for piercings and tattoos.

Since 2007, I've had two tattoos done here along with 2 piercings. I've had great experiences every time (with the exception of a small mishap with a misthreaded piece of jewelry!)

I'm glad to see a new face behind the counter who helps with selling jewelry too! I didn't catch her name but she's a gorgeous, african american girl who is super, super nice! She patiently waited and gave suggestions while I picked out some jewelry for the rook piercing that Lysa did last night; I was in one of those indecisive moods like I typically am in piercing shops (:

Loving my new piercing, I uploaded a picture of it to the picture collection, and I'll definitely be back here again! Show owner comment »

daaaamn, hella mozzarella sticks. Applebees hooks it up. nom nom nom nom *barf*

worth it.

I love Cirque. To the core. I was a gymnast for 10 years, danced for just as long, I LOVE the arts and was so excited to watch my first show out of Vegas.

And all I have to say is what. the. HELL did I just spend $100/ticket on!?

There were a few acts that I enjoyed watching but the entire time, every thing was falling flat. Ping pong guy with the pots was dope. How long was he on stage for? 20 seconds. Girls on the unicycle kicking bowls and catching em? Pretty cool but after dropping them the 3rd or 4th time even they woulda been X'd out of America's Got Talent and sent home!

I'm so disappointed :( I heard a couple behind me saying, "Ovo was way better than this..." and it lightened my mood and made me think that maybe we just caught a bad show.

But even if the artists had missed all their tricks and did make mistakes, I cant imagine being moved by it like I have with other shows. It just...wasn't doing it for me.

Would I go see it again? No :(  Will I go see another Cirque show again? Absolutely. Do I want a refund? I dont wanna answer this question because the answer makes me sad.

Wanna know what else makes me sad? Mid way through I needed a soda to calm my nerves from the anxiety that I was getting because I was disappointed AT A CIRQUE SHOW, of all places. Which led to even more disappointment:

$7 for a soda!? SEVEN dollars? For a SODA?

Are you aware of how many times I used all caps in this review? One TOO many. So upset :'(

Love the grilled chicken quesadilla. The thing is so heavy that you need to be careful after they pack it up in the brown paper bag; it WILL bust through the bottom on your way out of the restaurant and fall on the ground.

Quesadilla = bueno. Quesadilla on the ground = no bueno.

I stopped by this morning looking like a hot ass mess. Not only did I look like a hot mess, I felt like a hot mess, and my brain was on cruise control.

I was approached by a few make up specialists that I can't remember the names of and one of em helped me with some eye shadow tips. I can't really remember what she told me now because I was like half listening and half asleep. It was one of *those* Sunday mornings, what can I say.

The facial products that they have are amazing but they're pretty expensive so I decided to give those a good ol' pass-a-roo. But I did snag a new eyeshadow brush and "pretty melons" colored eye shadow.

Is that really what it's called or did I make that up? Because it sounds just as right as it does wrong...

But whatever. I didn't leave with bumps all over my face like I did last time I was here and I had a good chuckle when I was leaving; I noticed a 12 year old  porcelain skinned girl with incredible redness from the eyebrow  waxing she just got staring into the mirror looking all concerned.

In my head, I pointed at her and  "Ha-Ha" laughed like Nelson from the Simpsons as she miserably looked into a mirror. I bet she was thinking "and I have school tomorrow! :'( " Oh the laughs the children will have! Girlfriends eyebrows were like firey red on top and bottom hahaha

Apparently feeling better about myself has come to laughing at other kids' expense. But oh well, hahahah her face was so red!! Shoulda taken a picture, dang!

As my fellow yelper Rinky pointed out, I'm a brave soul. I ventured into the wonderland that is 4th street, where the trees are green and the people are of a lighter hue, to check out this Apple location on opening weekend. And I'm still alive!!

Although my 4th street fear is a little different than my fears of having to go into the iron triangle, I sometimes feel as if a little part of me dies every time I come here. I can't explain it. I don't know what it is; probably has something to do with the over-priced-everything that people seem to have no problem spending their hard earned (?) money on and me, well, I'm hella broke.

I work AmeriCorps. You *know* I'm broke.

So when I heard Apple was coming to 4th street I thought 2 things:

1. Apple will fit in perfectly here.

2. For the love of God, please, please, please don't be as snooty as the bay street store!!

And it isn't!! Yet. Not to be a negative Nancy but come on. It's 4th street. Only time will tell. But I had a really pleasant experience here this weekend and will probably be back sooner than I need to be.

The staff is incredibly diverse. They're smiling. The store is probably 2.5 times as big as Bay Street and it's clean, probably will stay clean for a long time, and the lay out just makes sense. iPads are docked next to the different lines of macbooks (airs and pros with their respective 11", 13.3", 15", 17" models) with information about the systems that you're looking at. And the iPad has a button to call a sales person over to answer any other questions you might have. Awesome!

And yes, I'm an Apple fan. Not a super crazy one, I just, you know, refuse to use anything PC (:  But as I write this non bias review (ha) I continue on to say that this store makes sense to me so far. The genius was helpful in trying to fix a problem my brother was having and she knew what she was doing. A far, far reach from what the bay street store has to offer.

So I hope that this location thrives, and I'm pretty sure it will; and I really hope the staff remains as excited and nice as they were today!

Now that this one is here, I probably wont ever have to step foot into the Emeryville location; and that alone makes me one happy girl.

Every single time I'm at bay street, I'll tell myself to "just keep walking, don't look inside, don't look inside, don't look, don't look, don't look."

and then BAM. -$100.00

Damnit. I looked. I always look :(
