"This beloved Berkeley shop is a total institution. It's packed to the gills, but gorgeous: You’ll find paper lanterns and garlands, antique chandeliers, birdhouses, religious effigies, anything and everything, all in one big, romantic and wild display. The estate jewelry is particularly stunning. Photo Credit: @_momoca_"
Lovely store with incredible gifts, etc. It's impossible to leave without finding something you can't pass up! The selection of exquisite wrapping paper will elevate any gift to the next level, whether it's from Tail of the Yak, or not.
This is a must-go-to store when searching for a gift for anyone special in your life.

I live half a world away in England but used to live in Berkeley and I would visit this enchanted place whenever possible . There is no other shop in the WORLD like it and to my mind it is the best!
The owners have a wonderful eye for colour,display and the magical object
So glad it exists .... Take the opportunity to step into wonder!

This little shop is pure magic. A delight for all of the senses one can truly lose and then find oneself here. I now live on the east coast but make a special trip to Berkeley whenever I’m in California just to go to Tail of the Yak. Truly a one of a kind experience.
