Daisy’s on Park

Horrible customer service. The owner was rude and dismissive from the moment we walked into the door and everything was way overpriced. Will not be back here again.

Awful service tried do return a gift for my wedding a month late and they were still selling the receipe box & cards
Just what we need ANOTHER store selling candles & crap made in China.

So cute! Best little spot for gifts and fun additions to the home! :) Really like having this little store in Alameda! Great cards too! :)

I would give this store 10!
I don’t understand why people don’t love everything in here! The owner, Barbara is so sweet to my kids, my daughter 5 and my son 2. The other employees are fantastic and do the most amazing wrap job.
My favorite part of the store is the party section! I am a sucker for party stuff and it’s so fun. It’s also got Kate Spade which makes me scream, I love it so much. It’s got other amazing brands too. The french vibe is through the entire store along with lovely smells and great music.
Love this store and can’t wait to go back.

Terrible service! Would never go in again! Hard to get service. Went in owner very loud on the phone one time. Over priced. Not customer oriented. Have bought things in the past but will not even go in the store in the future.

Daisy’s is great if you are looking for something unique for her. Its primarily a womens store. You will find candles, jewelry, more candles … The occasional trinket. They have sales twice a year. We caught a few things on special following Christmas. My girlfriend loved it.
Pros:
Unique gifts for her
Cons:
A bit expensive

Unintentionally trashed my previous review navigating through Unilocal.
In a nutshell, daisy’s is a cute shop with unique gifts I’ve been coming off and on for years, most recently around Christmas, an upsetting and terrible experience. Love lolia mini hand creams in wish. The La Vie jewelery are gorgeous. The employees are all very nice and professional. The owner, Barbara is not the nicest woman but she is friendly to my kid. She does keep a hawk eye on him when we are in the store so I try to make sure he doesn’t touch anything. Wild guess, this store doesn’t have any cameras as with most small businesses. Employees have to be on high alert, they’re just doing their jobs and they could be affected if something gets stolen. None of them have ever breathed down my neck before. I’ve had a few run in with the owner’s daughter who interupts my conversations with employees at the store and dismiss them to try to impress me with her knowledge about their products. She’s a brat who probably thinks she runs the place. Cute shop nonetheless, most of the time it’s just the employees there, and burma is right next door!

My husband and I stepped into this store earlier this summer and he ended up buying me two pairs of earrings, some of my favorite to date. The items and décor are exactly my taste. There were two soft-​spoken, young women on staff that day who were pleasant and helpful. I’ve been wanting to return with my sisters, but after reading some of the not-​so-​pleasant reviews, I’m a little apprehensive as to what kind of service I’ll receive the next time I show up. Seems like it’s a hit-​or-​miss and I want so much to love this little shop!

This is a really cute store with some great quality products for a gift, for yourself or your home. The fragrances are pretty nice and the jewelry is on trend, and very nice. I like that they sell Butter London nail polish, because I can buy it locally and support a small business instead of supporting a major beauty chain. They even have a few Kate Spade odds and ends, and this is the only place I’ve been able to find a good variety of Washi tape for my crafting. They also have a good variety of cards for gifts, and supplies for party throwing.
I’ve never encountered the rudeness of the staff that people seem to be complaining about, and I’m pretty about customer service. Everyone is pretty friendly, and no, they don’t bend over backwards to help you, but they also don’t pressure you either, so that’s not a problem. I’ve never felt like I’m being watched either. However, people need to learn that for small businesses, shoplifting can negatively impact them more so than large ones, so employees do have to remain alert, and its best not to take that personally. They’re not doing that because they think you’re a trashy person who likes to steal, they are doing it because its their job. Of course, someone who has never worked in retail wouldn’t understand that. There is one sales girl who does not seem to know what she’s doing, or speak English all to well, but she’s the only one, and I would not call her rude.

Stumbled upon the store after dining at the restaurant next door. They got some really nice jewelry and decorations for the home. It’s almost Christmas so lots of unique ornaments and home décor to choose from. Many things are perfect for gifts. Super friendly staff.

Watch out, they’ll think you’re shoplifting. I went in there (and I live around the corner so I’ve been in there plenty) looking for gifts for two girlfriends — pretty much what the store is made for. I’m in the back ‘interacting with’ ie, testing the perfumes they decided to showcase along the back wall. The salesgirl at one point nearly body checks me, I guess trying to physically impose herself to stop my crime in progress. It was weird. Then I proceed to spend $ 78 on two toiletry bags and two perfumes. And now I’ve been feeling so fumed about it, I’m going to return them. I don’t want them to have my money. If I wanted to steal something, which I never have in my life, it would be candy, not Martha Stewart’s nightmare.
You’ll notice I did give it three stars — because previous trips had been fine.

Stopped by Daisys yesterday. This is the kind of boutique one wants to step into for some affordable luxuriant splurges. Soaps, creams, body salts, lotions…
Enjoyed the window shopping very much. Gives SumBody run for its $, being right there.
Cute space and fun browsing. I love the Thymes brand soaps (using some now),& they carry.

We went into this store while waiting for our table at Burma. It’s a prissy store with prissy staff, especially a particularly annoying brunette who reprimanded my toddler for knocking over a tin candle. I offered to pay for it (even though there is no ‘you break it you buy it’ policy posted anywhere), but I didn’t appreciate any stranger talking down to my child. Now I have a $ 9 dented candle for a miserable memory at a shop I don’t want to support. Fail.

Daisy’s has got pricy nicknacks for sale. I’d say it was a woman’s store but some men might disagree. There;s a lot of cards and jewelry and lotions and ornaments. It’s of it’s era.

Daisy’s is my go to store for unique gifts. Fun cookbooks, kitchen items, perfumes, bedding, soaps and toiletries. I have found some of the cutest cards and journals.
AND they love my dog there. Bonus star for allowing Karma in your store!

It’s safe to go back!
I stopped in to get my Lady a little surprise treat.
The service was very friendly and thorough. I was greeted with a smile and was offered assistance. After some great suggestions I selected some fancy soap and a card. They gift wrapped it beautifully and thanked me for my purchase. Just the way it supposed to be.
I have experienced to dreaded manager/​owner on previous visits and I agree she’s socially awkward. I assume she read her Unilocal reviews and hired some pleasant sales people. Good Job!
I like this little store. Sometimes a big hairy macho guy likes to see and smell nice things.

It’s not all sunshine and daisies if you encounter the manager.
The store is very cute, but filled with overpriced merchandise and managed by a woman who has no sense of people skills nor decorum whatsoever.
This review is about my most recent visit– today around 6pm.
My mother, teenaged brother and sister, and I decided to take a look around the store. From the previous reviews, I’m going to assume we were also greeted by the same surly woman. At first she was very inviting, answering questions I had regarding their selection of Tocca perfume.
My mother and sister perused the back of the store, ooh-​ing and ahh-​ing over the cute assortment of home décor and other feminine frills while I stayed in the front trying to decide what perfume I wanted. It was then that I began to feel uncomfortable from the pointed stares the manager gave me. This made me leave the perfume display to join my mother and sister in the back.
In the back there is a shelf of discounted items, my sister and I LOVE a great deal, and were checking out every item on the shelf. Meanwhile my mother was trying to get the manager’s attention to ask about an item, when she (my mother) noticed the manager whisper to a sales associate. My mother then saw the sales associate walk to the back of the store, and more so, to where my sister and I were.
And I will say this– when the sales associate squeezed her way past my sister and I to go into some random door behind us– I did feel uncomfortable again. As if the sales associate was trying to catch us stealing.
My mother wanted to leave immediately, and as we were being checked out by the manager, the manager looked surprised that my mother was actually buying the Mint perfume. During the purchase, I asked if there was a tester bottle for the Tocca Florence, to which the woman rudely replied that no they don’t. As if I was giving her a hard time.
There were also other customers in the store, to whom the manager was not rude to at all.
This is a personal note to that woman:
Don’t make customers feel uncomfortable. Yes, we were in the store for a very long time. Yes, my sister and I stayed at the back of the store and opened boxes and bottles to smell the sale items. Yes, I did look you in the eye from across the room when I felt your beady little eyes on me. But this doesn’t mean we were planning to steal. Have respect for your patrons. We are who supplement your paycheck and keep your store afloat.
With that said, you have lost two customers who were willing to buy everything in your store.

This store is full of adorable things. And, from reading the other reviews, I’m guessing that I’ve been in there only when the owner WASN’T around, because my customer service experiences have been amazing both times I’ve been in there. In fact, both times I went in with my mom and sister who were visiting me from Ohio.
The saleswoman greeted us cheerfully and told us to let her know if we had any questions. We were probably there a good hour both times, and occasionally she would notice what we were looking at, and then give us some suggestions about it or something similar.
My sister bought a cute tic tac toe thingy and my mom bought some picture frames; for both purchases, the woman offered to check inventory and make sure that they both had the best quality item in stock. When my sister mentioned that she hoped her purchase wouldn’t get scratched on the flight back home, the woman even went out of her way to package it extremely well to keep it safe. She was very friendly and cheerful and personable, even the first time when we didn’t buy anything.
I’m only giving it three out of five because the prices are just sooo ridiculously high. My mom wanted to buy me something from there and I just couldn’t let her, it was too pricey. I LOVE everything in there, but if they chopped a good third off the prices, it’d be a lot more reasonable, in my opinion.

I thought I was being slightly oversensitive this afternoon when I thought the owner of Daisy’s was a cold snob, but, CLEARLY, after reading the multitude of reviewers complaining about the same thing, I was right to feel the way I did.
We walked in and I saw the woman look right at me, but any shred of a cheerful greeting, any hint of a smile, were nonexistent. I saw a dish of lovely looking lipgloss on the counter and asked her how much they were, and she haughtily replied that they were $ 17 each, with the slightest hint of «I’m not so sure you can afford it» in her voice.
Oh I can afford it. I’m just not willing to throw nearly twenty bucks down the toilet for a two-​inch long tube of lip gloss that has nothing special about, or to a woman that’s too busy standing behind a counter doing nothing important to actually greet her customers or engage in any kind of customer service.
This place is actually really pretty inside, and the only reason I gave it an extra star is because I enjoy their greeting cards — they remind me of the cards Papyrus sells, but smaller and not quite as nice. The décor in here is great and it has a sunny, bright feel that encourages you to keep looking around.
It’s just too bad the owner encourages you to leave instead. And so do her prices.

I ABSOLUTELY ADORE THIS SHOP!
I come here every so often to find a little gem or treasure. They have little tiny gifts, beautiful handmade jewelrey, antique décor of all sorts, bedding, candles, cards, and plenty of kitchen accessories. There is something for everybody in this shop!
I especially love their perfumes here. They are all very earthy and floral and I could buy all of them!
The owner is a sweetheart and always has a smile on her face which makes me want to come back again! I encourage everbody to stop by this place if you need a gift for somebody, or want to treat yourself to something unique and special.
