“Highly recommended art supply shop for students and professionals. We purchased some materials, which were very hard to find in most other shops, for a school model house project. The staffs are super nice and helpful. A real time saver! With just one stop, we found everything we needed!”
“Very cute exhibits throughout the store of what can be made with specialty paper and great selection of paper too!
You can request your paper to be cut down to smaller dimensions if you are planning to travel with them - excellent customer service and would love to visit again.”

252 Clement St, San Francisco“Love this place. I had a few custom tees made and they all came out perfect. This place does beautiful work and great customer service to go with it. Highly recommended.”
“SCRAP is awesome! Always something for everyone. Insanely reasonable pricing - don't let the lack of price tags scare you, you'll always pay less than you expect.”

730 Bryant St, San Francisco“This place is amazing. If you need anything for sculpture and/or moldmaking this place has it. Fantastic staff, as well. Definitely check it out if you are makin some art!”
“Couldn’t believe these existed but was guided by the friendly and knowledgeable staff about the different models and walked away with another for my LAMY collection. If you need a great pen, this is the place!”
“I love love love this cute little shop. The colors they create are gorgeous and it’s so fun mixing and matching to form unique palettes. My only warning is that the small little trays used to house the paints are pretty pricey so you may be better off buying this elsewhere if you’re trying to save :).”
“Mendels! You never disappoint! The perfect neighborhood spot if you sew and need just that ONE thing. I’ve been shopping here since the late seventies, and this is the perfect go to spot to match thread colors, (they have every shade of Guterman’s) or find a bit of trim. They’re still Far Out, but too not far out to get to.”
“West Portal is a great place for everything and anything. Definitely stop by Growing Ip Art and Crafts. This store is packed with toys gifts and crafts for all ages. My 6-year old daughter got something, my wife got something and....I got something Lego!!!”
“If you’re looking for basically any art supply, this place will most likely have it. When I was looking for art supplies here, they had literally everything I was looking for. 5 stars. Will for sure be coming back here again sometime and I highly recommend this place for art supplies”
“My dad dropped a five dollar bill and a worker named Athena kindly came out to us as we were getting in our car. Friendly and and I like the outgoing attitude. Give her employee of the month.”
“As a small time artist and DIY screen printer I really bank on experience of the team at Anthem. They have taken away the hardship and costly challenges of trying to burn screens in my bathroom. They provide an awesome service that I, personally, am happy to rely on. Customer service (I’ve had Carol)is always on point and very communicative. This service allows me to focus on my art and printing and provides the comfort of knowing an experienced team of professionals are on my side for a fraction of the cost of hiring employees of my own. Thank you Anthem”
“I always come here for all my gift-related needs, and I want to highlight Ella and Natalie. I came to the store few minutes before it closed, and needed help with wrapping an important gift. Ella and Natalie went above and beyond in helping me find the right wrapping and stayed for longer than needed to finalize everything. I am extremely thankful for your service and will be back soon!”
“I love this store. It reminds me of my best friend’s family card & candy store I grew up visiting and sometimes working in. They have great gifts and art supplies. I really appreciate that they have gorgeous Shabbat AND havdalah candles!”
“An artist’s paradise. Paints, brushes, markers, pastels, canvas and frames. The custom frames section is very helpful for finding the right products for your artwork. I was very fortunate to find the right sized frame in their inventory. Their gift section is filled with interesting souvenirs and stickers.”
“Maido is my number-one destination for fountain pen inks and Japanese art & writing tools! Many times I've found items that otherwise are only available in Japan. They have a surprisingly huge selection of stationary, fine writing tools, art supplies and fun gifts and toys fit into their well-organized and relatively tiny space. They are directly across from the big Kinokuniya Bookstore on the second floor.”
“Really well organized and has a good selection of fabric. The parking situation is tough, which makes order pickups a bit difficult as pickup spots are often full. Attendants are really nice and willing to offer advice when needed. Overall very happy to have this Joann's close to me”
