190 Skyline Plaza, Daly City“Best Anime in California. I love all the Japanese Animations.
Friendly staffs! I appreciate all staffs patience and empathy while my family toys hunted. I will definitely be back for the great customer services and their extensive best Anime collections!”
“I've been gifted several of these lovely soy candles so I was excited when I spotted their storefront in San Francisco. I especially like their candles that come in a tin and they were on sale when I visited so I happily picked up a new one. I chose Dusk which they describe as: 8pm. Damp leaves, crisp air, powder and spice on a clear night. Woody, cool, and earthy. Black pepper, clary sage, palo santo, and blooming iris. I can't wait to smell this scent wafting through my home.If you're looking for a gift I highly recommend one of their 10 ounce soy candles from the Sunset collection paired with a pretty book of matches.”
“Post.script is the perfect spot when you're looking for a unique gift for a special friend or just browsing for something fun for yourself. Tucked away off of busy Fillmore Street, there is a wide range of offerings packed into this small spot. The selections are well-curated and can be both practical and wonderfully decorative at the same time. During a recent trip, I picked up several of the Baggu brand reusable bags, as they carry a good selection of these bags. I also found some lovely glassware and whimsical geometric coasters for the perfect birthday gift. The staff was also helpful and courteous, as they have been on all my trips there. Along with checking out the fun gift cards and writing instruments, one can spend a lot of time perusing the different and interesting selections of hair accessories, as well as attractive items for decorating the home. The variety of items and reasonable price points make post.script a spot not to be missed.”
“If you haven't stopped into Jessica's shop on Union Street, do yourself a favor and do it soon. It's not just a great spot for beautiful and unique gifts, but the know-customers-by-name small town vibe is just fantastic.”

3182 24th St, San Francisco“The perfect place to visit during El Dia de los Muertos. They have practically everything, including sugar skulls, ceramic skulls and altar ornaments. Their skeleton figurine collection is impressive.”
“What a wonderful experience. I wandered into this store after a recommendation from a colleague. I was seeking a particular item, stationery for letters and envelopes. As soon as I entered, Danielle welcomed me with a smile and offered to help. She listened carefully and brought me a wide selection of products to choose from. Each package had a different theme with cards, stickers, and envelopes. I was so pleased with the price and cute factor of all the products. Danielle invited me to explore the store after I made my selection. There are so much fun gift ideas from coasters to bags to women's clothing. During checkout, Danielle explained the history of the store, shared other locations around the Bay Area, and promoted the fact that this store is Female and family owned. I look forward to coming back to explore and recommend you do too! Until next time.”
“Love Land of the Sun! We had so much fun talking to Alicia and we will definitely be back soon. The shop is super cute and has a great selection of items to choose from. Thank you for such a great experience & sharing your stories with us! :)”

San Francisco International Airport, San Francisco“Thank you Skyline for your terrific service. I bought a phone charger that I discovered when I got to the East Coast didn't work with my phone. When I returned home I phoned the store and Juan told me he would contact the owner. Manuel phoned me two days later, apologized for the non-working charger, and completely refunded my money. Caring service like this is so rare. Please support them when you are at SFO!”

There was a problem with the shipping fee which they immediately fixed and included an incense gift and a really nice note! Love their oils and their customer service. Highly recommend this little gem!”
11AM - 5PM
151 3rd St, San Francisco“Every time I go, my eyes are happy. I bought a small mobile on this day. It's not very large, but there are many different and fun gifts. Yayoi's pumpkin cushion is too expensive to buy.”
“Great service from the business owners. Best place to get any traditional Mexican artisan crafts. Anything from Mexican wrestlers masks to Día de los Muertos crafts, and many more items... Mixcoatl IS THE HEART OF THE MISSION!”
11AM - 5:30PM
415 Grant Ave, San Francisco“Amazing gift shop for traditional Chinese souvenirs and clothes!We went around Chinatown looking for a tiny Chinese coin purse and came across many places where the quality and price were not worth it. However at this shop, the prices were extremely affordable and quality was better than anything we have seen.We really liked looking through all the Chinese decor, clothing and souvenirs. The store owner was very friendly and welcoming.We came in looking for a $1 coin purse and left with $100 worth of merchandise. Extremely satisfied!”
“The California Academy of Science is a must go for everybody. I grew up going to field trips here, then chaperoned field trips here when my kids were in school. First time taking my granddaughter! So fun!The rainforest is always a treat. I love the clear examples of how we are all connected. Every living thing. So much to learn and wonder. And then, butterflies flying all around you? Who isn't mesmerized by that?Quick note about the rainforest, it gets hot! Wear layers so you can continue learning without sweating your butt off. All of these visits and this is first time I noticed the 4 eyed fish! I always gotta say hello to my old friend the white gator.The planetarium is reservation only so we skipped it this time.They have a cafe, but we brought lunch from home and ate outside where there is a nice area for the littles to run around and play and to build a nest like a squirrel and other activities. We also indulged in expresso from the coffee booth out front. And hung out by the fountains listening to some great live music. Last tip, tickets are cheaper online and early than at the door.”
“Don't know why but this little shop here is got my interest I'm going to come back tomorrow maybe we should be open to get some neat little salt and pepper shakers but pay attention to the mural on the side”
“Good selection of mahjong tiles, including multiple sizes, pattern colors and ones with Arabic numerals. I thought they would be expensive, marked-up for being in the center of a touristy area, but they were very reasonably priced. The staff were so nice and helpful. Will definitely return to buy more sets for friends!”
“It's a small shop, but the staff are very kind. When I bought a magnet for a souvenir, they went out of their way to bring me a new one from the back. Highly recommended if you want a souvenir from San Francisco.”
“ATYS we have loved for many years, since living in the city moving to the East Bay, still go back there for inspiration. Among many great stores still in existence, like Japonesque in Jackson Square, Sanko Kitchen Essentials or Flora Grubb for plants, San Francisco still has it!”
11AM - 6PM
1837 Polk St, San Francisco“The best gift shop! Fun knick Knacks, creative designs of random everyday objects, books, accessories, home goods, journals and stationary etc for people of all ages at reasonable prices. Helpful staff and a sense of community. Spend over $5 to use debit / credit cards.”

370 Hayes St, San Francisco“I love, love, love F Dorian!!! They have the most wonderful things and I never leave without buying something. The Christmas displays are the best in the city.

11AM - 7PM
601 Irving St, San Francisco“Soft opening right next to sweet cupz, sounds like competition but it has a really nice interior to sit down in, has wifi but no power outlets so come with a full battery or charge in the library nearby. Street parking in residential is recommended! I got the holy howl to experiment but it was alright, the coconut milk did not really add flavor to the avocados make a splash of condensed milk would have been nice. Also had some pieces of the pit in my drink too (hence the 4 stars) I'll still come back as they had food I wanted to try as well!”
12 - 7PM
206 Fillmore St, San Francisco“Such a beautifully curated store full of wonder and discovery. There's something new at every corner which makes you want to linger forever. The plants are healthy and unique. What a hidden gem!”
“This store is probably one of my favorite places ever... I have been going there since childhood, so it retains a lot of nostalgia for me, but the overall quality and customer service has remained the same. Every time I go to collect more shells, the staff is always super friendly and willing to help me find what I am looking for. I have been thrilled to find so many treasures here! It's a Pier 39 treasure itself!”
10AM - 6PM
124 Clement St, San Francisco“Came in to find one crystal because I was astonished by the reviews to this place, and walked out with 6! Considering this is one of the biggest crystal shops in the bay area, I'm really impressed. From crystals, to incense, to clothing, and more! The workers were so welcoming, and the cashier (forgot her name) threw in some freebies and a big discount for my crystals! Definitely will come back and bring my friends who share the same passion”

50 Hagiwara Tea Garden Dr Store, San Francisco“The Museum store, also purchased a few items there and Libby the cashier was amazing. She convinced us a membership would be amazing, so my dad did sign up. Libby was so helpful and friendly. She helped me locate an Anubis I wanted, made in and sent from Cairo Egypt. Also purchased a coffee mug of Rameses.”
“This place has been so many things throughout time. In the 70's it was an apartment/art gallery, the 80's thru to 2000 it was various kinds of shops from the arcane to jewelry to herbs to magic to comics but it has always been the spot in my old neighborhood that has always been the go-to place to scope out some of the most interesting things that the Haight Ashbury has to offer. It was a complete blessing to pass by here and also go inside the last time I was in San Francisco.”
11AM - 5PM
450 Dondee Way, Pacifica“Bought my late mother 2 beautiful rings here for Christmas, even better they were wrapped for me. She loved them. Paisley if I remember her name correctly is a wonderful sweet woman. She kept my 4 year old sister occupied with toys and Knick knacks while I shopped. Darling woman, darling shop! I will definitely return.”
“This is where I go if I want to buy some SF-themed knick-knacks to give as gifts. They have a good selection of items across all price ranges. Parking is a pain (this is the Haight, after all).”
“I love this place. I haven't found any place that can match their price. Believe me, in the beginning I took the jewelry that I bought from Royal Ruby to my neighborhood mom & pop jewelry store to be examined (because the price was so low) and they told me it was good quality and that they could NOT match Royal Ruby's price. I trust them now and shop at Royal Ruby but I also buy at my neighborhood mom and pop jewelry store. I highly recommend Royal Ruby. ?”
