Beyond the Alley

This a great Marina Boutique! It’s one of those places you can run into and find a cute dress or great piece of jewelry in a pinch with out breaking the bank. I have been known to stop in on a lunch break and pick up a gift for a friend. The staff is super friendly and they have a good sale rack. I

I love this store, Taylor was so helpful and found super cute outfits.
Most affordable boutique in San Francisco!

For the record, I have never bought clothes here, only accessories. While the clothes are great in theory, they never quite fit the way I’d envisioned while on the rack. Perhaps a quick alteration would fix this but I’d rather spend my money on something ready-​to-​wear, like their jewelry. Bought a fabulous, roughly cut, unfinished amber-​colored agate ring for under $ 20! It’s huge (knuckle to joint) and definitely get compliments on it all the time. I’ve also picked up some unique handmade earrings at under $ 30/​pr each, all statement pieces.

Beyond The Alley is one of the best boutiques to shop at in the city.
BTA has such a wide variety of jewelry and apparel, and all of it is super cute and unique. The prices are really reasonable too!
The staff is super friendly and are always so helpful.
I highly reccomend this boutique, your bound to find something AMAZING!

I had a great experience at Beyond the Alley recently. The sales girl — Trish could not have been more helpful in assisting me with some recent fashion needs. They have super cute clothes and accessories and their inventory is updated all the time. Best of all — their stuff is affordable!

BUYER BEWARE! HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE! I was not greeted nor asked if I needed help while browsing around the store… The two ladies working on 12÷16÷09 were busy trying on clothes themselves, chatting and could not be bothered to assist customers. I ended up buying a dress with Taylor. I leave the store, find a $ 103 parking ticket on my car and immediately return to the store in less than 15 mins. to attempt to return my purchase. With the holiday season, I could not afford a $ 100 dress AND a $ 103 parking ticket! Taylor (asst. manager) was rude, inconsiderate and kept repeating to me their non-​refund policy. I explained to her I realized that but I had just purchased it 15 mins. ago, for God’s sake!!! I asked her to get the owner, Ellie on the phone and I spoke with her. Even when I explained to her the situation, Ellie did not have the courtesy to give me a refund. To top things off, once I got home to San Jose– I noticed a tear on the side of the dress. DEFECTIVE MERCHANDISE & BAD SERVICE! I strongly believe this is an unacceptable way to run a business and will never shop here again or recommend it to friends. There are way better boutiques with friendlier customer service around so don’t waste your time!!!

Stopped by this place with a coworker who needed to buy a Christmas gift for her sister. The stuff is not to my taste, but the salesperson (her name was Jessica) was great and my coworker seemed very pleased with her purchase.

This store always has something for me. What I love most is how well they buy for the store. It’s diverse in styles, always has latest trends and the best part, super affordable. If you have a special occasion you need to grab a dress for, this is the spot.

Beyond the Alley is a great boutique in the Marina. It is priced great and the clothes are pretty affordable for a small boutique on Chestnut Street. They have a great selection of cute dresses, tops and sweaters. The customer service there is great. Jessica and Taylor both helped me find the exact outfit that I needed and were tenative but not overbearing. They have great, original jewerly that is inexpensive but looks super nice. One of my favorite places in the Marina to shop.

Previously known as The Red Dot, this cute little boutique, which just opened in September, is tres chic and super affordable. I was drawn into Beyond the Alley when I saw some great jewelry hanging on the walls right inside of the entrance. Expecting it to be relatively expensive I was shocked to see earrings, bracelets and necklaces from $ 18 and up! Ridiculously affordable for the Marina, right?! After realizing that I could actually afford the stuff in this store I continued further inside and found a wide array of flirty blouses, structured dresses, and lots of warm and cozy knits. There is also a pretty good selection of bags (like a camel colored tote that I LOVED for only $ 80!), scarves and belts. The girls who work here were great — not too pushy, very attentive and extremely friendly. Overall, I had a great experience at Beyond the Alley and left with an adorable grey knit vest for around $ 40 and a smile on my face :) I will definitely be back here when I’m in the area and in need a cute outfit that won’t break the bank!
