Absolutely lovely establishment. Love everything about it. But CMON your website does not contain your address or hours of operation. Tighten up.

Phenomenal service, easy to get to location, and very knowledgeable people, and not just with toys. Not a super large store, but their selection is top notch and they are super friendly. Definitely plan on going back.

Self Serve is fantastic! Ive ordered from them for a long time and have nothing but great things to say about them, but I recently had a phenomenal customer service experience that I have to share.I had ordered a package online as a gift for someone, and needed it by a specific date. I ordered it well in advance and Self Serve shipped out my order very speedily. The package arrived four days before I was set to deliver the gift, but the mailroom where I live accidently returned the package (oh no!). I called Self Serve and they came up with a brilliant solution. They went the extra mile to pack an order for me as soon as items arrived in the store AND figure out overnight shipping to get me the item on time.When you order from Self Serve, you can be sure that youre ordering from a local business that cares about the work they do, the customers they serve, and the community they are a part of.

This was my first time ever going into such a place and I’m very old fashioned but the woman person working there went to great details on everything and made me feel like a normal person!It was like being at my second home I just couldn’t believe it!The woman was very knowledgeable about all my questions I will definitely go back a person would be a fool not to!

I came in unsure of what I was looking for. Instantly I was made to feel so comfortable and at ease. The whole staff is fully knowledgeable and friendly. I will definitely be returning

Very nice, helpful staff. Safe non toxic products for sale. The downside is limited products. The upside is that they are queer friendly. You wont get a gross heteronormative feeling like at the other stores. Definitely shop there & support the business.

I am certainly biased since I work here but I think my perspective is unique because of that. Its true that we who work at Self Serve try to make it welcoming, comfortable, shame-free, educational, reputable, fun, and a whole host of other worthwhile adjectives. But the real yardstick for me is how really great it is to work here.Ive had jobs where I made a lot of money, where the company looked out for me, or where I liked my coworkers. Ive also had jobs where I havent liked the work, my coworkers were unpleasant, or I wasnt valued. Self Serve is the most supportive environment Ive ever worked in. My coworkers are amazing and go out of their way to make my work easier and better for me. I need to work other jobs because, sadly, we dont generate enough income to make this my only work, but its worth it to me. So worth it.If you get a feeling of comfort, ease, and support when you shop with us, thats because it is genuine. We have our perspectives and nuances that make us human, and we do want you to feel supported, valued, and comfortable. Its a passion we can convey to our customers because we have it for for ourselves and each other.Thank you for helping to make us possible.

I came to find an alternative to a product that broke on me within 2 weeks. I told an employee the brand, said they “would never carry that brand”, I turn around, and see that brand. Plus, I saw toys exactly like it just of different brands (exact same materials though). Then, I was sold a $60 beginner’s kit which wouldve been worth the price if some of the items hadn’t, again, broken within the second use. I reached out to the company and they said that it would be the store’s responsibility to refund me. With my receipt, box, and all the items, I go to the store, show the message from the manufacturer, and I was told there was nothing they could do but offer me a 15% discount for a future purchase. I obviously have never redeemed it, nor do I have any intention to. For a store supposedly concerned with only providing safe and high-quality products, I find my experiences with the store laughable. As of my last visit there in 2017, they even carried jelly dildos. Are you freaking kidding me?

Self Serve is and continues to be an invaluable resource for sex positivity and supplies, for me and anyone I have previously referred. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and non-judgmental. The premises are inviting and cozy. It is my top recommendation for quality products and a welcoming environment where you can learn new things and ask questions as well as shop. I am happy this store exists.

Review №13

An incredible resource. Self Serve is a gender neutral, safe sex positive, intersectionally feminist business that actively views that space as a springboard to promote community health and happiness. The staff provide consistent support for a variety of questions and visitors, always with a wealth of knowledge and kindness.Definitely a recommendation.

I came all the way from Denver, CO to check out this store and it was worth it! Quality products, safe environment, and friendly customer service. Matie is so knowledgeable and professional, I learned so much just from chatting with her. It’s exciting to know that a place exists where sex can be addressed so openly, leading to a better understanding of not only you and your partner, but also just of yourself.

This store is fun - friendly - informative - the classes are fun and really educational too. The prices are full retail but you get great local service and everything they sell is tested by them and safe and high quality. Very comfortable place for solo females - couples of any variety - males. The whole experience is educational and fun. Stop by soon and enjoy !

I love Self Serve so much! Women owned and so welcoming to everyone! I know I can get expert advice from the friendly staff on products that are safe and excellent quality. Ive bought items before, during, and after my pregnancy and have never been disappointed or unhappy with any purchase. Also Self Serve is a warm and friendly environment where any question is met with respect and non-judgement. A truly wonderful resource and Albuquerque treasure.

Self serve has excellent staff, and service. It is dedicated to helping the community, and offers a safe and fun spot to get products you need, for a healthy, fulfilling sex life... and also products for good self-care! The staff is knowledgable and non-judgmental at all, but upbeat and friendly. This takes the stigma away from attending a sex shop and empowers the buyer to be anyone!

Review №18

Im admittedly biased because I co-founded the place, but I may appreciate it even more since I dont work here anymore.The real world can be tough and sometimes it seems everyone in the world is cranky. When I walk into Self Serve I feel hope and only love. The staff is so friendly and kind. Every body is welcome and its like a sigh of relief. Walking into a sex shop can be awkward for some and terrifying for others. There isnt a place in Albuquerque where youll feel more at ease and more supported. I love the staffs enthusiasm and excitement over the latest and greatest toys. The educators know the latest about sexuality, from books and lube to current trends in relationships and new ideas.If you or your relationships need a boost, this is the place to go! Thank you, Self Serve, for being a respite of joy and love in an otherwise stressful world!

This is the way a business should be run. They know their stuff, share the knowledge in a gentle direct way, and they make sure everyone has fun learning. What a great place! Extra bonus points for excellent use of neon window decorations.Thank you for being such an awesome and valuable resource, Self Serve!

My partner and and I attended a class at Self Serve that was very inclusive. The class was awesome and it ended up being a great destination for our date night:)The shop is very wholesome and has a much different vibe than your average sex shop.Highly recomended!I found the lube to be very very high quality. They seemed expensive the first time I bought them but the large Containers provide good value and ensure you have enough on hand:)

Review №21

This place is SO much more than a sex toy shop. Their classes are amazing, their staff are great and knowledgeable, and their culture is inclusive and sex-positive. Ive never felt awkward or creepy talking to the folks at Self Serve about things Im curious about or interested in.

Review №22

Self Serve is my favorite place! As someone who doesnt participate is much sex, Self Serve feels like a safe place where I can get what I need without being judged or questioned for my lack of participation/activity. I also really love browsing online because their range of products are just amazing and I trust that anything I purchase from there will be well worth the investment. I cant even begin to thank this store and its staff enough for the all educational materials, trainings, events, and more that they offer (both in person and online)! Whether sex is an important part of your life or not, Self Serve has something for everyone and the guarantee that youre supporting not only a local and queer-owned business, but some of the kindest folks! Please stop going anywhere else and spend your time and money at Self Serve.

This is the best sex shop in Albuquerque, hands down! The selection is excellent, the staff are super knowledgeable and friendly, and the vibe is super welcoming and inclusive all around. I have learned much from the wonderful folks who work here. Im a better lover, a better communicator, a better person all around because of Self Serve.

Vibrant, positive employees. One of the few places in Albuquerque that I feel totally comfortable. Could hang out on that sofa for hours. ☆ Superb knowledge and acceptance for Trans and non-binary neighbors. Also connected with a safe, ethical kink culture and community.

Excellent products, services and sales team. They talk about taboo subjects with courtesy, respect and knowlege to guide your purchase. These are all things you cant get from an online big box shop. Shop local. Learn more. Have more fun. I cant imagine shopping anyplace else!

As a maid of honor for my friend I was given the task of hosting a stay in Bachelorette party. Self Serve helped me throw an amazing toy party! They werent pushy about the product and they were open to answering all the questions a room full of giggling women could have. These folks really make you feel classy while educating you about sex. It was SO much fun! Every time a friend asks about what they should do for their Bachelorette, I mention Self Serve.

Self Serve is the best! Whenever I have questions about whether anything about sex or my sexual parts is normal or okay...things I would be uncomfortable asking my doctor, I call Self Serve and their knowledgeable staff always set my mind at ease. Even though I live a few States away, they treat my like a neighbor who is right down the street!
