French Quarter

While window shopping in SLO we noticed your trendy outfits in the storefront windows. Once inside my entire family was warmly greeted and offered assistance. The sales rack were pointed out by the associate. After finding some items a room was quickly set up for me while my family continued to look for great finds. Not only did the service impress me the selection for a smaller framed individual did as well. As we checked out we enjoyed a conversation about our weekend plans. Today in the mail I received the most sincere Thank you card for my business and a personal reference to our conversation that touched me deeply. You had me at hello and now proud to say I will be a forever loyal client. Many thanks for an awesome experience!

I always make a point of stopping here when in SLO and I always find something. Small but cute selection of shoes. Cute clothes but some tend to be flowy and slightly hippy-​ish. Dresses and skirts tend to have shorter hemlines that are best suited for college-​aged or younger girls. Huge selection of purses. Customer service is minimal at best.

This is probably one of my favorite places for clothes in downtown SLO.
They always have a lot of nice clothes on display and still makes it look presentable.
The girls who worked there were very friendly.
There is a little shoe, bag, and hat area if you’re looking for the whole sha-​bang (I’m sorry for using that phrase), too.
There’s I think four dressing «stalls» (what do you even call those?), which is a great amount considering the space.
Space. There’s the problem.
It’s understandable that since the store space itself is small, it’s hard not to make it cramped, so it’s not that bad. They did a good job with it. It’s just really hard to find what you’re looking for.
Say you saw a dress on display and want to find it in the store. There’s usually 2 – 3 different clothing items on one rack, so you might have to fish in between (which many stores do anyway, so why does it matter, you ask?). It’s really hard to do your fishing. Each rack is stuffed with clothes so the only item you can see easily is the one in the front of it. The ladies working there will help you, though if you need it, so it’s all good.
Overall, though, the clothes are cute and I always stop here when shopping in downtown SLO.

This is one of my favorite shops in SLO. The staff is friendly and helpful. I like how they always an assortment of hand bags, accessories and interesting tops. I like this shop because of the variety– I don’t feel that I’m going to run into someone else wearing the same outfit!

Cute boutique, will not break the bank and has very nice customer service!

This is a really cute little boutique, tucked away in a small alley downtown. Really cute clothes and accessories, including some unique pieces, can be found here. Very trendy and hip, easy to look around because of the spacious set up of the store, and the staff are very friendly people. The only downside is that this place can be pricey, so if you’re not exactly rolling in dough and you see more than one thing you’d like, it can be tough having to choose between them.
I did manage to find a really cool necklace here for only $ 12 though; check out the jewelry display, it can yield some pretty cool finds if you take the time to look. Yesterday when I walked in they were having a sale, an additional 40% off of sale price items, along with a couple other sales, so you should ask the staff when you walk in if they have any sales going on. They’d be happy to let you know, if they didn’t already let you know upon walking in.
French Quarter is definitely worth my time when I make a visit to SLO. There’s always something new to check out.

Most items are a little young for my taste, but this is a great store for the college girls in town. I’ve bought some basics here when I was in town. They have reasonably priced, trendy, fashionable clothes, shoes, and great selection of handbags. There is also usually a good selection of clearance items on a rack outside to draw you in.

Every item is really unique in this store and the staff is really helpful.

I love this store because of the great customer service and the variety of styles! Such cute and durable clothes at a reasonable price.

LOVE this place. I’ve been shopping here for the past 4 years, ever since both our kids went to school here in SLO. Initially I shopped here for my daughter, but then I found so many fabulous things for myself too, that both my daughter and I shop here often. It’s definitely a 20-​something store, but yet as a 50+ mom, I can always find great trendy clothes that are contemporary, yet age appropriate for myself as well. Plus they have fabulous handbags and accessories, from shoes and scarves to gloves and jewelry. Handbags range from $ 40-​$ 80 but their clothing is the most reasonable (MissMe jeans are still $ 100). But they have fabulous, sweaters, wraps, dresses and tops – most for under $ 50. Outside the store at both doors, they always have a selection of long and short sleeve stretchy T-​shirts for $ 5. They have a great sale rack inside where true bargains are… I found a fabulous dress to wear to a wedding this summer for $ 19.99 that looked like a $ 95 dress… it was well made and hung beautifully. The staff is ALWAYS extremely helpful and nice and been willing to hold items for us. My husband has been treated well also whenever he’s gone in to purchase something for ‘his girls’. It probably doesn’t hurt that the location is wonderful too… I can’t ever seem to go to Giuseppe’s for a bite or Peets for a coffee, without stopping in to see what’s new at French Quarter! *****

Love their clearance items — got a long sleeved shirt for $ 4. They were also selling hoodies for $ 15 and some other items for cheap too.
Good selection of trendy shoes… didn’t really find anything else here that I liked… lots of darker colors and had a more sophisticated feel to their style (I’m kinda the opposite type — love color and lots of crazy angles). But overall, a nice little shop. :)

I love love love this store. Every time i go downtown i always have to stop by. They do have very cheap basic t shirts and tanks which is always good, but they have the cutest clothes ever. I love their styles and their sales people are so nice. They will give you their opinion if you want and they always start a dressing room so that you don’t have to walk around carrying tons of hangers. They don’t have many sales, i have lived here for a long time and i’ve only seen them have a sale once. (that was a very exciting day. haha) But their clothes are average priced maybe a bit expensive but so freaking cute you won’t be able to resist! :)

It was a typical day after class in Downtown San Luis Obispo. I was just walking out of Urban Outfitters, and i saw a colorful rack of shirts that said $ 5! Being a broke college student, i walked across the street to see if this rack was a mirage. But, it was indeed still there. I ended up buying 6 shirts for $ 30. Where else in the world does that happen? They aren’t crappy either. I really like the stretchy cotton material. And they come in every color of the rainbow. Perfect for going to class or just chilling around campus. They also have nice dressy clothes, but they are kind of expensive. So really, the only reason i go there is to restock on my favorite t shirts. They also have the long sleeve version and those are pretty comfy too. Yay for cheap clothes in SLO

Boutique that has enough well priced unique items to compete with the Urban Outfitters across the street. The staff was really nice and helpful.
