Cute little shop to explore. Pirate themed nick-nacks and more. Worth popping in for.

I loved this place! Not only was the store itself fun, with lots of explorable drawers with entertaining things in them (snakes in the floor!), but the staff and selection were amazing. Listening to the kids in the back was joyous, and I was proud to support their charitable endeavors.
We take money from pirates, privateers, and buccaneers; we use that money to provide free tutoring to SF students 6-18.
Other Information
Yep, you read that right: There is a Pirate Supply Store in the heart of the Mission! In their words: ?We are a ragtag group of miscreants who sell pirate supplies in order to benefit the free programming that happens at our writing-tutoring center at 826 Valencia, and in classrooms all over San Francisco.? Cofounded by author David Eggers, the non-profit organization 826 Valencia (which is their address, not coincidentally) teaches writing to teachers and students all over the Bay Area. Chapters of 826 have also been founded in seven other cities around the country. The Pirate Supply Store-if you're still baffled by this, they do indeed sell pirate supplies like hooks and eyepatches-is just one part of the 826 network, with other chapters having similarly quirky stores, such as Brooklyn's Superhero Supply Co., Los Angeles' Time Travel Mart, or Washington, D.C.'s Museum of Unnatural History. The Pirate Supply Store is open every day from noon to 6 p.m.
