I spent over an hour here looking at all the great stuff .... Jewelry, cards, gifts, etc., much of it handmade, some handmade on-site, some stuff imported from Italy and France, a wonderful store to spend time in.

This owner blatantly stereotyped mejust now when I opened the door. I said, "Hello."She said, "Can I help you?"I responded, "I just wanted to look around. It looks like an interesting store."She said, "I don't think so," and she motioned for me to leave.I said that I felt like she was stereotyping me, and that I wondered why I was being discriminated against.She said, "I just don't know whether you're okay."I replied that I'm perfectly okay and sober and everything.She proceeded to assume my gender, and she stated, "This is a women-owned store, so we have to be careful about some things."I literally was just a polite customer interested in her beautiful seasonal window display. She retracted her statements and invited me to browse, but I no longer felt interested in shopping at a store that discriminated against me.At one point I started recording our interaction, and then she suddenly started acting nicer.She says she is the owner. She denied telling me that I wasn't welcome, whereupon I clarified that she just said, "I don't think so," when I wanted to look around.I literally just opened the door and she didn't like how I was dressed, and she kept saying she doesn't know if I'm okay, but all I'd said was "Hello," and, "I'd just like to look around." And, I just showered and put on clean clothes, but I guess she doesn't like my tie-dye shirt and hat?I will try to sue, if I get around to it

I am loving this store! The workers are are welcoming and friendly. Chic vibe. So many unique items to peruse around, (ie books, jewelry, bags, glasses, trinkets...). I ended up buying two stickers books and a beautiful floral gold ring. I would love to visit again to check out more of their items, and even to get gifts for people. Thanks again for the great service! Can't wait till my next visit.

One of my very, very favorite stores! I can honestly say I love everything about it -- the creativity, color, displays, quirkiness...everything! And, in addition to all the magic surrounding you, you can often find the charming and talented creator of so much of it -- Caramia -- there to guide you through it all. I know I'm gushing at this point, but once you visit Favor/Hotcakes Design, you will totally understand why.

I never did find the sticker botanical book so thanks for giving me another copy. The day I bought the first one, I just found the receipt and I was charged $35 dollars instead of 24.99. It was really busy that day with about 4 other customers asking questions so I understand the mixup . I thank you the new copy to replace the one I am pretty sure I left somewhere in the store.I love Favor and I don’t think I had ever been there before. I love the “peepers” I bought and the cards. I’ll be shopping there again. Your store has things I had never seen before.I know the Jewelry is all one of a kind. I am a collage artist and am enjoying using the stickers in my work. They are almost too precious to take out of the book but I DID IT! See you again, Gail Robinson, Oakland

Always a conversation starter! Caramia has a great eye for design and the medium is very warm and appealing, similar to bakelite and celluloid, very well executed pieces that last forever! Love every single piece I own!
