Cabona's - Truckee, California

David Diamond

I like Cabona's because the stuff looks great and it's tough for me to make a bad choice. (Which is very easy for me to do on Amazon!) Their clothes also seem to be higher quality that the stuff I find at the national chains.

I'm not sure why folks below gave bad reviews just because the store was following COVID guidelines and required masks. We need to cut some slack for that—that was not a good time for any of us.

If you're in Truckee, definitely take a look. They're right across the street from the train station in downtown. (And you no longer need to wear a mask.) 🙂

We love this store! We will be visiting Tahoe next month and were saying we need to visit the store. My husband said hopefully it’s open, so I googled and read a couple of awful reviews of people wearing masks inappropriately or trying to come in with no mask. So sorry they felt inclined to leave negative reviews. They should be respectful in your store and have some common courtesy. You must feel vulnerable during these times having guests coming in and out of the store. Thank you for staying open and hope you can continue to operate safely, as long as everyone does their part.

The last time we were at your store, we had our two little ones with us and the ladies working were extremely kind to them. In fact, the customer service is SO amazing, that when my daughter yanked the ball off of my favorite snow hat, the woman there offered to stitch it back on. They also allowed us to leave our purchases there while we went to lunch. When we came back my hat had been repaired perfectly and when I went to pay they said it was on the house. You don’t see that kind of care and generosity at other stores. Thank you and we look forward to our next visit so my husband can get some of your high quality flannels and thermal shirts. I’m sure I’ll find something great too!

Some really nice clothes, I personally had a really good buying experience here. Will be back for sure.

Whenever we are in Truckee I take the time to visit Carbona's. This small shop has a unique variety of offerings in both men and women's clothing. This trip I left with a sheepskin leather jacket that is quite stylish, high grade material and a reasonable yet expensive cost ($475). I know that this is the going rate for goods of this quality from having price these jackets over the last couple of years. They also carry men's pants, t-shirts, dress shirts, men's hats, jackets, etc. I find the staff here to be quite friendly and helpful without pressure. Recommend you visit.

As someone who lives with somebody who is immune compromised I understand the importance of masks. That doesn't excuse the rudeness of one of your female staff. My husband wears a gator over a surgical mask and this lady came at us telling us to leave the store. We asked why and she said what my husband was wearing wasn't appropriate. Had she done it in a nicer manner we might have shown her that he had another mask on underneath the gator, but her attitude made us not want to give this establishment our money. Following mask mandates is something we should all do, but reacting in the manner she did was NOT conducive to welcoming new business.

I am hesitant to post given that we are living in an odd world where everyone is trying - I think. I love the small town charm of the shop and the quality, brands and selection of the clothing. Unfortunately, due to the customer service of one of the women, my husband and I won't be shopping there anymore. There was quite a scuttle over the "ill-fitting" mask that I was wearing as I was making my purchase. A simple conversation could have been more effective. As an intelligent person, I'll be transitioning to the n95 masks just as soon as they arrive. Thank you.

I was in Truckee with my wife looking to shop around, and upon entering their store, they immediately pounced on me and asked if I could please put on a mask. I was confused, as I was wearing a neck gator covering my nose and mouth. I responded that I was wearing a mask, the overly aggressive woman than clarified that I needed a medical grade mask. I was very confused and I had not been aware that was a law in Nevada County. Turns out it’s not. I happily left the store as I would not want to support a business that treats potential paying patrons that way. Take your money else where as they do not deserve it.

As I walked into their store I was asked to put my mask on I said okay. The older sales lady was on my heels scolding me because I did not have my mask on when I walk in the door. As I'm putting my mask on she is on my heels tipping at me.
She then proceeded to tell me that my mask is not high enough on my face. Let me just say she was Furious with her eyes flashing. She told me to leave the store. So unless you really want to go there which is not all that great with a lackluster of product, it's not worth the embarrassment that she calls me in front of people. She needs to retire and not offend people. I'm sure there's other people that needs a job that would be customer friendly.
