5 /5 Donna Hall: One of my favorite shops in Oakland! I live in the Piedmont Avenue neighborhood and pop into Philippa Roberts fairly often just to admire all the lovely things inside and always find many things to put on my wish list. :) Recently, I needed to purchase 2 birthday gifts and headed straight to Philippa Roberts. Of course, I found the perfect gifts! The staff is really helpful and nice. Definitely recommend! SUPPORT LOCAL SMALL BUSINESSES!
