Bliss

This is a great place for high quality casual clothing — jeans — t-​shirts, dresses, etc. — you pay a bit more than the Gap for example — but for the fashion and quality — it is worth it IMO. In the many years this store has been in Fremont, the employees have always been helpful, and the selection has always been spot-​on. Definitely worth a stop if you are fashionably clothes shopping in Fremont.

I work around the corner from here, and every time I walk past I want to come back in here and give them all my money. Their selection is always changing, and for the most part once a piece is gone, it’s gone.
I bought a dress and a shirt here. I had been eyeing the dress for a while, and didn’t think they still had any in stock, but lo and behold I walked in, browsed through the sale rack and found it. It fit perfectly. The shirt is insanely soft and I want to buy it in every color.
I gave them my email to get on their mailing list, and when I got back home I had received an email from them thanking me for coming in, and they were so happy that I found the dress (i told them that I was super stoked that they still had it because I thought it was gone forever). I’ve never had that before.
The staff is fantastic, and I always chat with them whenever I go in, or whenever they come and get dumplings. I might as well just leave my credit card number with you, Bliss, you’re going to take all my money anyway.

Cute little boutique in downtown Fremont. Since I like to support small businesses, I have shopped here several times. The selection is okay, and I usually find a few things each time that I like. Prices are a bit high but I guess that’s to be expected at a boutique. They carry some of the same brands as Nordstrom and are even a bit higher on some things in price. The return policy is awful and I hope one day they will revise that. Check it out for some great finds!

I live near Bliss and walk past everyday. Although their normally priced items are a little pricey (not too bad though usually $ 40 – 90), they always have great sales and SHOES! There clearance racks are a great place to find a steal. Their jewelry is unique and fun, but they have many classy sophisticated jewelry items too — I have gotten many pieces for $ 8.88 each.
The staff is always attentive and friendly, and it’s rarely too busy to get a fitting room. I have a pair of shoes from here that are my favorites — the soles started to come off the shoes and I went to see if I could get a discount on a new pair. Instead of a discount, they gave me a completely free new pair in a new color and allowed me to keep the broken ones as well.
This experience alone will have me coming back in more regularly. Thank you Bliss!

My daughter and I went into this boutique and bought several items. We had a small dog and were on a time constraint so we did not try anything on, being brought up as a daughter of a manager at Nordstrom’s I quickly asked if we would get our money back as we purchased it on our debit card, cash. Lauren the sales person said yes, but it had to be in its original condition and within 5 days. We purchased it on a Monday evening so on Friday we brought back 2 of the 6 items we purchased with the tags on them and the receipt. Lauren quickly said can we exchange it, I said no, it was too large and they did not have smaller sizes. She then said that she would issue me a credit. My daughter was waiting out in the car, and was with me on the original purchase so she heard the same as I, it would be credited as it was purchased if in new condition and within 5 days. She argued with me. I asked to talk to the owner, she said she was the manager. She got the owner on the phone and left the room. I asked if I could speak with him and she said no. She issued us a store credit and that was it. I would not recommend anyone shopping here, there is no integrity and customer service if you change your mind. We are stuck with over $ 100 of credit in a store that we do not feel good about. Later when we mentioned it to our dr. that was around the corner, she said that she too never shops there because she had heard negative things as well.
Very disturbing.

Always love going into locally owned businesses and seeing what they have in their stores. Walking into here, I found lots of beautiful clothing and other neat little things you can see displayed on their windows! You can’t beat that! Furthermore, the employees were engaging, polite, and very enthusiastic about their work, it was a wonderful experience!

I really like the jewelry and the clothes are nice too, but not all of them were to my taste. There were some really cute tops I would have bought, had I had the money.

What lured me were the Voluspa candles that were delicately placed in front of the store windows. What made me step into the doors were the sale signs. First thought that came to my mind was, «Oh my God. Get me out of this sale.» …But everything was too cute and I couldn’t help myself. And then the really nice lady at the counter came up to me as I was looking at the Voluspa candles and said «Oooh I really like these ones.» and made it even harder for me to leave. Thanks. I ended up going with one of their most popular scents (of course) and as I walked up to the counter, I started looking at the boots that were strategically placed in front of the cash register. I see what you did there, Bliss. Thanks, once again. And THEN the nice lady suggested a cute pair of pointed flats that were nude-​colored. I caved. And I knew right there and then that it was time to leave before I could spot something else that would make its way into my hands.
Yep, awesome experience. Bad for your wallet. I’ll be back. Probably. Maybe. Most likely so.

The employees here have been perky and nice to me, I like that. However, the prices and selection here are dismal. As is the quality of clothing (kinda feels cheap and sweatshopy).
They do have some unique clothes here, which is why I gave them 3 stars instead of 2, but I wouldn’t buy something here because it’s too expensive and wont last long.

I do love [window shopping at] Bliss. I always have to stop in, and then occasionally I’ll buy something. It’s a little spendy for me, but I like how nice the girls are and I can’t resist smelling all of the perfumes/​candles.
To agree with many others, the quality of the fabric isn’t comparable to the price tag, and is definitely Papaya/​Forever 21 quality. Which is frustrating! However, because it’s somewhere I like to browse it’s still a good place in my mind… I’ll just ignore all of the snags and strings.

This is a cute little boutique in Fremont. They have a nice selection of accessories and clothing and soaps/​lotions. Their clothing is a little too pricey for me but I like looking anyway. Their sale section has much more affordable options. On my last visit I ended up with a nice crossbody purse and a really cool necklace. The salesgirl was really nice and helpful when I asked for her opinion on some options I was looking at.
All in all, I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here but I would definitely make it a stop every time I’m in Fremont.

I love this place for so many reasons. Let me attempt to remember them all.
1) It is the perfect mix of gift-​y little items like soap, candles, cards, and the like. Very good high-​end brands and a great variety to them. They even sell locally made jewelry, which is awesome.
2) They change out their product very, very often. I never see the same things, even when it comes to bags and shoes that they probably could let stagnate. They don’t have tons of room, so I imagine this is hard to do. It also leads to 3, which is
3) Things go on sale ridiculously fast, and usually are almost as awesome as the floor sets.
4) Gorgeous layout and displays. I am in Fremont a lot, and I’d admired the windows for a long time before I actually came in.
I also want to say I’ve never had bad service here. I’ve been in several times, and the staff was always the perfect mix of helpful and not rude or pushy at all.
I do always feel like someone is peeping in on me in those curtained dressing rooms, though. The clips are just not enough security for my paranoid self.

I would really like to give this store a good review, but I just can’t. They have a wonderful selection of soaps and candles, but their clothing is mediocre and their jewelry is worse. Overpriced and low quality, I would not be comfortable buying most things in this store for fear that they would last about a month. My experience with the staff has been good, and I have purchased some Volupsa candles here that I have absolutely loved. Great selection of candles.

I discovered this store (and Dream, their sister store) about two months ago, and until now (I visit this place like, almost once every week now), I’ve never had to face the «horrible staff» that stated in the reviews down below :/​
One time I went in, fascinated by the Sseko sandals that they sold, and to my surprise, the salesgirl actually took the time to patiently teach me how to tie the sandals!
Overall, I love the scarves and the dresses (chiffon, girly ones) that they offer in Bliss! I’ve never seen their fall collections though, I hope its as good as the spring/​summer ones.

Very few limited selections for dresses and tops. I wouldnt necessarily come here to shop for dresses.

I finally caved in and a bought really cute red multi-​wrap dress on sale. On sale for $ 50 for flimsy cotton with seams kind of ripping. But it was cute and the lady who helped me wrap myself in the dressing room was super helpful and friendly.
PROS:
1. REALLY cute stuff. I kind of want everything in their store. Super trendy and flattering clothing.
2. REALLY nice staff. They help you zip up, find cool ways to wrap yourself in the multi-​wrap dresses, bring you heels to accentuate the outfits, etc.
CONS:
1. Just really expensive. Most dresses are $ 80 – 100. Maybe a wee bit better quality than Forever 21’s stuff, but not that much better to charge someone about 400% more than you would pay elsewhere.

Alright, so I haven’t been in this place in awhile, but I am surprised it got such horrible reviews! I had a really good experience at Bliss. Times must have changed.
I got a really cute light pink jacket by FCUK that fit amazingly and lasted for years. The sales person was helpful, and they even mailed me a little note saying how nice the jacket looked and thanked me for coming in. That’s never happened at any other place I’ve shopped at! I still have the note, I thought it was such a cool thing to do as a shop.
I don’t know if they still do that or what, but if I still had the kind of money I did back then, I would totally stop in for a serious look at their clothes. I definitely stare longingly at their mannequin displays every time I walk by…

2.6 stars
cute storefront w/​helpful staff but disappointing selection. fairly scant apparel offerings, accessories need improvement — mediocre quality and design.
decent selection of apothecary brands — Voluspa candles, Butter London, Sula Paint & Peel.

I like to support local stores and I love boutique shopping. They have cute clothes here — trendy, modern, and interesting. I’ve bought belts, dresses, shirts, jewelry, and pants. I usually can only afford the sale things. The staff are super sweet and patient.

Super-​friendly staff indulged my super-​picky coworker when she agonized for almost an hour over a potential purchase. The owner happened to be in there, and won major points when he asked us if everyone at our workplace was so pretty. i’ll take cheap flattery.
clothing was a little pricey for the quality, but i feel that we received honest critiquing from the staff when it came to various pieces, and walked out of there with items that were flattering and fun. May go back on a rainy day. Dog friendly.
