Modern Mouse

Great shop for unique and thoughtful gifts! I got this beautiful small batch artisanal chocolate box for my partner and I couldn't be happier with this present! Locally made with love 💕

This is a great that that I visit most times I'm in town. They have some fun local art labelled for Alameda and Oakland. There is always a good selection of cards and T shirts. The shop might be small, but very well stocked. The staff are friendly and have helped me get special orders from their artists.

(As an older Brit I tend to think of a star rating as going from 1 star being good and 5 star being the luxury suite at the Ritz on its best day, but I understand Google maps the ratings is a little different, I probably should be using 5 stars more often than I do.)

I was looking for local postcards and this store popped up when I searched for gifts. Unfortunately they don't offer in store shopping. Fortunately the owner was there and I was able to safely peruse their postcards. I was able to buy the postcards without ever setting foot inside the store. The owner was very careful to socially distance and keep things safe and sanitary. I liked it so much, I went online and ordered more things. I hope to be able to shop in store eventually. I love supporting local businesses and artists.

One of my very favorite shops in the East Bay! Darling and creative variety of items. I always find something cute (and fairly priced) for my home, office or gifts. The jewelry I've bought gets soooo many compliments. The staff are also always warm and helpful. Highly recommend!

A very special, unique gift shop with art and things from local makers. Love this place and the owners are really awesome people!

Amazing gift shop! Modern Mouse truly has something for everyone. Wonderful local makers and artists. :)

This charming store features great stuff from local artists. I love browsing the clothes, art, jewelry and other little trinkets! Thanks Modern Mouse for giving us Alamedans a thoughtful place to shop!

If you're looking for good souvenirs but don't want the super touristy things this is the place. The staff is extremely nice and friendly, great vibe, and diverse items to choose from

Order a few things online, awesome customer service! They have amazing products to chose from! Also, I loved how they wrapped things up in my favorite colors, happy surprise, and the cute stickers on the packaging!

This is the place to get your last minute gifts! Great items from local artists from necklaces, ties, posters, coasters, etc. Gift wrapping is also provided! Customer service is great and knowledgeable.

Providing an Exceptional Local Service for an Overseas Customer:

Organising a gift for someone long-distance can be extremely difficult, especially when it needs to arrive on a specific day.

Eleen, Matt O, and the team at Modern Mouse were able to do that for me without any hesitation. Although the online store had a comprehensive display of items on offer, Matt went above and beyond by emailing me additional gift suggestions specifically tailored to the occasion.

All of my queries were responded to promptly. After getting in contact with Matt, I was reassured that there would be no issue getting the gift sorted out for the date I needed it delivered. Usually when I order a product online, there is a feeling of uncertainty that issues happening throughout the ordering process may cause delays. Instead, I was able to call to discuss any concerns I had, and everything ran smoothly.

I was very satisfied with the smoothness of the delivery process, and the exceptional customer service I received both online and over the phone.

Thank you, Modern Mouse!

I love local stores that aren't for tourists. At least this place doesn't make me feel like I'm walking into a tourist store. I think that people from Alameda and Oakland have great pride in their city's and thw stuff in this store really show it.

A wonderful shop to find gifts for everyone. Your money stays local with local owners and mostly local artists. Check them out!!

Friendly staff and a great selection of gifts and cards by artists/craftspeople...a fun place to shop.

Fun eclectic shop with lots of neat gifts. This is my go to place for birthday or hostess gifts.

What a great store. Full of neat gifts from local artists and suppliers.

Love this place. So many unique handmade pieces and gift wrapping is free!

Local artists, changing selection

Great place to buy t-shirts this is where I found "the island" shirts patterned after the Warriors "the city" t-shirts after looking high and low

Great unique artwork and gifts from local artists
