“I was wandering along in San Francisco on my way to visit the bookbinder museum when I met the owner of The Box SF, Mark. When I told him I was interested in books and other historical items, he graciously invited me to enter his shop.The outside is discrete and belies how magical the inside space truly is. When you enter, you're immediately blown away by the vintage art and artifacts everywhere. Mark and his assistant, Israel, gave me a mini-tour and explained how the shop specializes in ephemera, which refers to items that were designed for short-term use (advertising prints, perfume bottles, soap labels, etc).The shop contains items from the mid-1800s to the early-1900s from around the world. Everything is in great condition and attests to the craftsmanship of earlier time periods. What was supposed to be a quick 20-30 minute visit turned into a 2-hour visit.Everywhere you turn, there's something new to take in. I love antique and thrift stores, yet I have never encountered anything as unique as The Box. I found some souvenirs to take home with me and even the wrapping paper was this cool, historical print.The Box is a treasure trove for people who love vintage, antique, or novel artifacts. If that's your style, you have to visit.”

I had a quality issue with an item I bought for my son and the owner was responsive and helped me get it replaced. Thank you!”
“Thanks Hang Art for showing my work. ESpecially noteworthy as you rejected my work many times....its O.K. I made it without your help, and you are the loser as there are still many fine gouaches for sale. Roberta Loach.”

“Beautiful neighborhood art gallery that’s been going for decades. They mostly show paintings but there’s a wide variety of work. It’s available for rental for events and includes lots of permanent murals inside and out in the brick backyard. Classic San Francisco gem.”

“What a wonderful place.
Pier 24 photography gallery is full of knowledgeable people, they currently have an exhibit based off of many famous photo books.
I was so happy to see works from Vasantha Yogananthan, Masahia Fukase, Rinko Kawaichi, and Jim Goldberg. The photo books from which these works are taken from are well out of my price point so I was very pleased to be able to view them here. Entry to the gallery must be reserved in advance as they only let in 90 people a day.
This gallery is sadly closing on January 2025. Make some time out of your day to book a free appointment and make it down here.”
“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.”
“Be sure to stop by Lola's next time you are in Noe. She has the nicest selection of gifts, clothing and accessories. I just got a beautiful coral scarf here for a trip yesterday and can't wait to wear it! Have also purchased a wide variety of other items here over the last few years such as gloves, hair clips, aprons, kitchen towels and more. I always enjoy great quality and service from Lola and her lovely team. Don't forget to ask about her custom clothing as well -- such a talented seamstress and artist!”
“You simply MUST visit if you have any appreciation for the lost art of bookmaking or any interest in typography and the mechanics of printing. The machinery used here date back to some of the earliest printing processes and are still working.This place is a museum that still produces beautiful art books. The fine people working here are true artisans and are happy to share their work with you. Call ahead to be sure you can take the tour, or attend a show featuring their amazing artwork on display.”
“Modernism is my favorite gallery in San Francisco. Their range of modern and contemporary work really sets the gallery apart from others in the city. The Kristine Mays and Raymond Holbert shows on exhibition right now are wonderful! Highly recommend this gallery.”
“We were gifted a pottery session with Marieke for our anniversary and had a blast! Her studio is an easy BART ride from our home in the East Bay. All attendees were beginners, like us. Marieke began with a brief history of her home, as well as of her basement studio and the mystery of the "X?X" club that used to meet there. She demonstrated how to use the pottery wheel, and we dove in! Everything we needed was already provided for us, and Marieke was attentive to our needs. She was extremely patient in offering advice and stepping in, if desired. My husband and I each made two pieces and selected the glaze for each one. We are excited that we will be returning to the studio in a few weeks to pick up the finished products. Marieke was very organized and professional in her approach to her business. (Oh, and the bonus is being in the vibrant Mission District, with no shortage of things to see and places to eat!) Highest recommendations!”
“Adobe is best. For the past three years I have consistently come to adobe to hang out and connect with my community. There is always a good book, a good convo or good time in general whenever I pull up to this bookstore. Art shows are always interesting and music events bring a cool crowd. Stoked to witness the beauty that is adobe books and it community it cultivates there. Come check it out and be curious of what it can offer you”

“I love everything about this shop! The staff is so welcoming and helpful, and it's the perfect place to buy gifts (especially for myself). They have a wide variety of products, and most of them are from other small businesses (some of which are local). I couldn't recommend this place enough!”
“Loved my experience taking the intro to handbuilding and wheel throwing series classes at artillery! The studio is very beautiful, and all of the instructors are very knowledgeable on various ceramic techniques and the studio puts a lot of emphasis on sustainability and environmental awareness when working with the clay.”
“San Fran Art Book Fair was zany, bohemian, eye popping , eye opener; perhaps because I am so mainstream and bourgeois; I was able to be calm and move on.
Liked the friendly staff, artists were great in opening up about their work.”
“This is a sweet gallery in the Sunset that shows a variety of work, including work of emerging artists. The artwork is affordable for the average buyer and great for those who appreciate original art. Gallery owner is charming and knowledgeable, and also an artist. Openings are upbeat and fun, not at all stuffy.”
“Biordi is among my preferred stores in San Francisco. Visiting Deborah's store is always a pleasure. The array of Majolica pottery is simply mesmerizing, showcasing an unparalleled selection of vibrant patterns steeped in centuries of history. It's a true testament to the craftsmanship of artisans from distant lands that work hard to continue this tradition. San Francisco is truly fortunate to host such a treasure trove of exquisite pieces. I highly recommend Biordi.”

“An excellent source for graphic novels for school age kids, especially if you want more diversity than the typical marvel or DC approach. When I found out my 1st grader was trans, this store helped me find age appropriate books that they could see themselves in. And they in turn learned stories about brown kids, black kids, and immigrants from other graphic novels there that I would never have known existed. Staff are excellent and know their stock.”
