Fixtures and Faucets has a very nice showroom and carries all of the top brands but their service leaves a little to be desired. When we remodeled our house we purchased some items from them. I was told everything was in stock and would be delivered from their warehouse in a week. A month later they still hadn't called me and I had to harass them to get my items. It took them 3 months to get one item to me (which I had foolishly paid ahead of time for). Their sales associates were very flaky, ours would promise to call me right back and never would.

Janie & Jack has the most adorable clothes for children (up to 5T). They carry clothes for both boys and girls and they even have a section for newborn infant layette. The store releases 1 or 2 lines each month with coordinating pieces. The prices are a little steep but the clothes hold up very well and have excellent resale value (I resell my son's used clothes on eBay). The stores don't usually do promotions but the lines do go on sale after they have been out for a while. A few times a year they have Season Finale sale and it is a great opportunity to stock up pieces for the following year at great prices.

Ross is a discount retailer that carries mostly clothing and accessories with a small home section. Some of the brands carried at Ross are the ones you will find in department stores, but some of the brands are just random. This particular store is always crowded and seems very dirty. There are always clothes sitting on the floor and products out of place. The dressing rooms are pretty gross too, they look more like public restrooms. You have to be willing to filter through all the junk to find the good stuff.

Marshalls is a discount retailer that carries clothes and housewares. Everything is usually from last season but you can find some really great deals. The hard part is that you have to go in and search fairly often to find the best stuff. Especially for clothes, you have to weed through a lot of junk to find the designer names. They always have brands like Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger and Jones New York. The housewares section is great, you can find great deals on towels, sheets, etc. It just takes time and you have to be willing to check in every so often to see what new items have come in.

Many years ago you would never be able to get into this place for lunch without a reservation. It was a place to see and be seen for the Silicon Valley movers and shakers. With the economy slow down it is much easier to get in for lunch (and they still offer valet parking!) and a great meal. The lunch menu offers several salads, sandwiches and a few heartier options. The food is excellent. Service is very nice. Lunch is much more affordable than dinner.

Jerdon is a great store for browsing. They mostly sell stationery and invitations, but they also carry a wonderful selection of gift items such as photo albums and candles. During the holidays they have a fabulous selection of Christopher Radko ornaments. Jerdon carries mostly higher end brands of stationery and they have a wonderful selection of both print at home and custom order invitations. Their greeting card selection is great as well, you will find all sorts of funky (and sometimes expensive!) cards. The store has somewhat odd hours, I think they are closed on Sundays and Mondays.

I was warned first that I needed an appointment with a sales associate before shopping for appliances so I made one a week in advance. We still had to wait 30 minutes for our sales associate to be ready for us. We knew pretty much what we wanted but the sales associate kept pushing one particular brand (that happened to be the most expensive!). She seemed disappointed when we picked mid-level brands instead of the super expensive stuff and promised to get us a quote right away. 2 weeks later we were still waiting and wen I called her she flat out lied to us about her promise to get us the numbers. We ended up buying our appliances elsewhere, I wouldn't go back nor would I recommend Atherton Appliance.

Le Boulanger is a wonderful addition to downtown Mountain View. They are primarily a bakery, but also sell fresh sandwiches and salads. The sandwiches are decent, what really shines in them is the bread. Le Boulanger makes fresh bread daily, including a wonderful sourdough. In addition to bread they sell a variety or yummy sweet treats like croissants, bear claws and muffins. Perfect for a snack or lunch.

I've been a fan of Jamba Juice since my college days in San Luis Obispo when they started out as Juice Club and a single location. Jamba Juice sells fresh, made to order fruit smoothies and other yummy, healthy snacks. You can choose between several "boosts" to add to your smoothie (things like protein powder). The smoothies are large (maybe 16 ounces?) and are more of a meal than a snack. My 18 month old son loves them as well!
