Only place in clearlake where you can buy everything you would need.
It’s a walmart
Good selection. Line was huge for closing.
This Walmart is much better than other Walmarts I’ve been to since COVID. Dressing rooms are available to try on clothes, associates are scattered throughout the store and are helpful and friendly.
Went for an oil change was told a 3 hrs wait. Was there at 7:40. Always something at this store. Before I went there got there at 7and no employees there to do my oil change. Will not go back to this one again.
Management refuses to pay for cashiers so there are constant long lines, stretching far up the aisles, regardless of the time of day. Frustrating to see all of the unmanned registers while 6-12 people with packed carts ahead me, trying to get out. Shop elsewhere! It’s clear the owners here don’t mind making you wait 45 minutes if they can avoid paying for another cashier.
Team lead lopaka was very rude and racist towards me. He accused me of stealing and then proceeded to try to take my cart with my items and when he realized he made a mistake he rolled his eyes and ignored me instead of apologizing.
5. St Vincent de Paul Thrift Store
Address: 16125 Orchard St, Lower Lake, CA 95457 , Lower Lake , California , United States
I love Joan and the rest of the people working inside and out. They have a great assortment of items. They truly help everyone who needs assistance.
The people running this store are really nice. The prices are very good. Prices are not usually marked, just ask for the prices.
They appreciate donations as well.
The most amazing Thrift Store
Just plain rude! Really bad attitude! Will not be donating or supporting that business agin!
6. Southern Comfort productions
Address: 15427 Duncan Ave, Clearlake, CA 95422 , Lower Lake , California , United States
This studio was perfect if you weren’t starting a band. Try outs (bass, guitar, drums and harmonica)were amazing! But after hours?…YiKES!! This is the most SpOoKiEsT I have ever witnessed. Forget about waiting for Halloween- this is 24/7 non-stop action Fellas
Excellent place to go and record. Killer acoustics and overall it’s a beautiful scenery.
A great place for big name musicians to record there music with or without a. top grade recording engineer. With no unwanted attention or interference from Star struck watchers.
9. Starbucks
Address: 15885 Dam Rd, Clearlake, CA 95422 , Lower Lake , California , United States
Awesome staff. They work so hard and are so nice and accommodating. The place is always packed. It gets so busy but the drinks are delicious!
Awesome place. Never been in a Starbucks this big before. I’ve been in others in the city outside Lake County and size does not compare.
The guy with the glasses in the morning needs a more positive customer service attitude.
Always consistent and reliable, and of course can be found everywhere – it’s not the connoisseur of coffee however the staff are always friendly, the drinks are as you order them, regardless of your preference and you get that all important java-hit on the drive/road trip that you need. They are always a part of my destination drives.
If I could give this place a 0 I would. The few times I’ve been in here I was greeted by such unpleasant faces, like they would rather not be working.
From what I’ve heard around in the cafe and from experience, Kylie or whatever her name is always looks and acts the most unpleasant . Do not recommend, sometimes McDonalds has better coffee and food options!!
My wife comes here almost every day. Some days are good, And some days are absolutely terrible. ( like today, 1PM, Sunday, oct 23)
She made her order, specified she wanted to use her points. The lady at the drive through scanned my wife’s phone, then said oh no points, you did it wrong, and its too late to get the points.
THEN, she gave my wife the wrong drink, refused to remake it, and instead gave my wife a cup of vanilla, without care, then told my wife to fix the drink herself.
Meanwhile we heard employees yelling every profanity you could think of, with customers able to easily hear, around elderly customers and children.
We have encountered similar situations at this location multiple times, and for this reason we will have to take our business elsewhere now, I wouldn’t recommend this establishment at all, given my complaint, and others listed here.
They are horrible. I went and asked for my drink to be stirred and they took a razor to my drink. It spilled in my $20,000 rental.
10. Strings & Things
Address: 901 N Main St, Lakeport, CA 95453 , Lower Lake , California , United States
Nice little guitar shop with good quality instruments and amplifiers for beginners and advanced musicians alike… Check it out
Jim has always been a magnificent repair guy and an honest gentleman. I’ve purchased guitars from him and have had all my set ups done there. This place is a gem in our little community.
Would be a halfway decent place if they had more organization. Was very hard to find anything. And also maybe more musical instruments for sale. New ones.
The only decent music store around the area.
Jim, the owner is a great guy. I visit often.
I have been a guitar player for years…strings and things has it all!!! Jim is a very nice guy and knows a lot. I love the small town feel in his store!!!!
I found Jim to be cold and disinterested, borderline hostile unfortunately. I order the strings he has never heard of online. Jim appears to be a bit of a fence. I would question the provenance of an instrument from this shop. The music shoppe from a Stephen King film.
11. Fults Family Vineyards
Address: 11441 CA-29, Lower Lake, CA 95457 , Lower Lake , California , United States
Such a fun place.! Family is Great, they make you feel welcome and relaxed. Very informative and long standing community enthusiast. Great venue, nice tasting room, awesome deck and Great Wine.!
If you are in the area you really should stop here. The owner treats you like a long lost friend. Great atmosphere overlooking the mountains and lake, ample pours and really good wine – can’t ask for anything more.
It’s a great place to find that perfect wine for any occasion. The Fults family are very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about their offerings. They also have the little cat that greets you with a bit of love. Take the time to stop by and enjoy your visit.

He was nice. Neighborhood was sketchy tho.. But still good.
I bought a flute from someone a couple of years ago and it needed cleaning up and pads spruced up. Jack was EXCELLENT! Very sweet, personable, and professional! He took extra care and time, a great price and fascinating stories!
