Half-Pint

Not super impressed. Have been in here many times, love the clothes, and little bits and pieces, prices are a bit much, but for a special something for the girls I’ll splurge every now and then. My last experience, however, left me with a really bad feeling — in fact, it left me leaving the store without purchasing anything. I was the only shopper (with my two small kids), the two sales people seemed to be completely incapable of providing any customer service what so ever. They both hung out at the cash register while I struggled to try and find the right shoe sizes for my kids — they would call out across the entire length of the store in answer to my questions, but not once did either one of them come over and offer to assist me in any way. Eventually, I got fed up, and chose to leave rather than dropping my usual couple of hundred dollars at the store. I’ll gives money to someone who appreciates my business!

I have heard that I was a very well dressed young boy. Apparently, this is because a large quantity of my clothes came from Half-​Pint.
I was lucky enough to have a cousin a year older than me, who got all of his clothes there. As he grew out of them, I inherited them, wore them until I outgrew them, and then passed them on. This process would be repeated at least three to four times.
Just this past holiday, my family got to talking about this store and why they all shopped there. So, I decided it would be a good review to review the store that provided most of my clothes for my early years.
To summarize:
–You get what you pay for (excellent quality; clothes that last)
–Clothes with character (it’s like the opposite of shopping at Walmart)
–Excellent customer service (owner/​employees who really care)
–Free gift-​wrap (this was important for the guys)

This store is so freaking cute! It’s my go to for baby showers and children’s gifts! Yeah it’s pricey but the quality of the clothes is so much better than target or baby gap. Everything just looks special! They carry a bunch of French brands which are to die for! The staff are always willing to help me with ideas for gifts and are really nice!
The best part is the complimentary gift wrap with their ultra cute bumble bee wrapping paper! It’s my one stop shop! So quick and easy, can never go wrong!

My husband and I decided to move to Sonoma recently after many years of living in the city. As I had grown up in this wonderful little town, I couldn’t WAIT to get back to some of my favorite restaurants and shops I knew as a young girl… and Half-​Pint was one of them!
The store is still as perfect as I remember. The cutest, most unique selection (that you really can’t find anywhere else) that is the best quality. Knowing that I will soon be having children of my own, this will be the only place I will buy their clothes from because I know they will last! Not to mention they will look SO adorable.
In the meantime, I am excited for this to be my go-​to children’s store for gifts. Whether it be clothes, jewelry, toys, blankets, shoes, or games (to name only a few things) they have it. The complimentary gift wrapping in the iconic yellow bumble bee paper is one of a kind and makes the experience so special too.
The store and the people that work there are truly amazing, extremely helpful and friendly. Customer service at its best, something that is truly hard to find nowadays and something the Internet definitely can’t offer!
Whether it not you live in town and need a cute children’s gift or are visiting, going to Half-​Pint is a must :)

First and foremost, I have kids … and I would never buy either of them an outfit from this store because the prices are REDONKULOUS.
My pre-​kid self would probably go here and buy stuff for friends having babies, thinking that higher prices must mean higher quality and better design. Maybe it does, but with how fast kids grow out of stuff, there’s no way I’d waste my hard earned money now on it.
That being said, check out the sale sections. There were quite a few neat finds (Petunia Pickle Bottom diaper bags, especially) for 50% off.

I absolutely love this clothing store! The staff has been absolutely amazing each and every time I’ve shopped there. They are helpful without being intrusive, give several alternative suggestions when I ask, have gone out of their way to get me additional sizing when available, and will even ring me if they think something has come in that is perfect for my styles/​tastes. The store carries most of my favorite children’s brands and charges appropriate prices for the lines that they carry (Hannah Banana, Eliane et Lena, etc.). They put their outfits together in really attractive ways and carry a great variety of accessories/​gift items as well.

First the good: great location, friendly staff, beautiful clean store, large selection, and really precious clothes.
The bad: it feels intended for tourists, and the prices are ridiculous. If you are going in looking for something special I could see spending this much money, but for everyday playground type outfits… yeah… no.

This store has always been a favorite when I could make it to Sonoma. I always got a thrill when I went to splurge on a baby shower gift, but I was there last night before the Tues. Farmer’s Market and did not enjoy my experience.
I was window shopping bc I couldn’t fully enter the store due to my 2 ½ yr. old twins who were in the stroller. I didn’t want them to go gaga over all the cool $$$$$ stuff that I wasn’t ready to buy.
I found 2 – 3 items on the outside sales rack by the back door that I was considering, so I took 5 steps in, keeping an eye on my kids who were admiring the water fountain. The sales associate walked right by me to acknowledge two other customers, I then walked around inside a bit, but (still ignored) returned my items to the rack and left feeling insulted. Was it my outfit? DId I not look like I had $$$$ to spend? I know the girl saw me, bc her eyes glanced at my funky Ed Harvey shoes.
I called today to ask them to remove me from the mailing list. I did not enjoy my «discussion» with the owner who told me I wasn’t being fair on judging her store from last night’s experience (??? huh???) To be honest, I always got a «lukewarm» feeling from the staff, but just couldn’t resist the creations. I will not be returning to that boutique, even though they have the CUTEST items for that special little someone.

I was in Sonoma on a weekend excursion and stumbled across this cute store for children that is packed with anything and everything for a child pretty much. From a wide assortment of clothes to toys and activity ideas for a fun filled day with a younger group. Having no munchkins of my own I tend to always keep an eye out for the miniature tazmanian devil that is my nephew.
The store is precious with a ton of cutesy clothes that are unique and stylish. Geared more for little girls in the clothing sections; there is still a nice selection of hipster chic shirts and cargos for little boys. Walking out, the purchase was on a shirt designed with a crazy looking monster on the shirtfront made by a little boy for little boys! Exceptional and very friendly service that makes this one stop shop a must see if in the area and you have kids or are buying for a child.
Note-​if you’re looking for a cap gun present this is your spot! Fun little toys that you haven’t seen in ages and make for perfect last minute shopping gifts.

Stopped in on our tour of the square… such a cute shop! Clothes, stuffed animals, shoes and accessories galore!
The associate was very helpful, and I made my selection… she did a wonderful job wrapping it too!
A must for the well dressed kiddo!

I love shopping here for baby gifts! I don’t mind even spending a little extra because I know I can always find something very well made, cute as hell, and a bit edgy (sure to be the talk of the baby shower). The owner and her staff bend over backwards every time I come in to make sure I find just what I’m looking for… and the sales are awesome!

Charming children’s boutique right on the square. Posh, unique clothing and gifts for bebes and bigguns. Brands range from Petunia Pickle to Hartstrings and Goody Goody to the reliable Robeez. Great sales. Lovely giftwrapping and custom gifts as well!
