“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.”

“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.”

“I love post.script. for a lot of different reasons. It’s such a pretty shop, I love the white walls, that allows all of the colorful items for sale to really pop! The intimate store is also laid out nicely, with many items, easy to see and reach comfortably. And then, the items! It’s such a thoughtful, interesting collection of things for sale, you’re sure to find a great present for your special person. It’s also a small business, locally owned and locally popular. With lots of fun events, I’ve been to a few and made some great connections. Chandler has made a special place that adds to the fun of exploring Filmore Street.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Please can I give a 10 to the staff for friendliness? It is so refreshing to be greeted by someone that enjoys their job and really wants to be at work, The person that greeted me was so genuine that it was refreshing, while there are other hot sauce stores that have a larger selection, this location has more than enough to satisfy most people. Prices were very reasonable. Would shop here again.”

Highly recommend this little gem!”

“I spent so long in this store that I wanted to buy everything. It's like a toy store for adults with books, stationeries, souvenirs, and everything in between. They are colourful and quirky (some). They remind us there are beautiful things called art out there that are worth our longing.”

“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!”

“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!”

“Thank you very Mochi! [Japantown, San Francisco CA] These are beautiful Japanese confections located on the West Mall at Japantown in San Francisco. The confections are fun, fresh and yummy. We were given samples of the Harajuku mochis in strawberry and chocolate flavors. Ooh the chocolate just hit you at first bite... it's like Nutella with a doughy texture. I preferred the chocolate over the strawberry but these little soft pillows are so heavenly delicious. The packagings and canisters are amazing. Beautiful selection of wrapped traditional Japanese food gifts! They also have some packaged candy and mochis that come in cutesy Hello Kitty tin cans. My daughter couldn't stop with the oohs and ahhs LoL ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Nippon-ya is located on the West Mall at Japantown in San Francisco. Instagram: @nipponya.sf Review #3378”

“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.”

“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.”

“Through Reddit, I learned that this unassuming, eccentric little shop offered aura photography. It isn’t well advertised. I asked the shopkeeper if my boyfriend and I could get our aura photo taken together and was taken to a back room.The process was very fast, and I think it cost around $25. She didn’t do a deep reading or analysis. She just showed me a piece of paper on how to interpret my photo. I really wanted the photo and didn’t need the analysis so I didn’t care about getting a deeper reading ?”

“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.”

“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”

“We were going to have an early supper with friends at a nearby restaurant and wanted to kill a few minutes and walked by this store and I realized it's related to Kira and Muffy in Hawaii! So of course, I went in to check out the store and was looking for a few Kira and Muffy gifts. The staff member indicated that this store is owned by the same owner as the one in Hawaii. I saw my favorite little rabbit that I bought at the Hawaii store. Hopefully, they will get more Kira and Muffy items in as this store has a variety of other cute items for adults and kids and because it was the store's anniversary, they were giving out complimentary snacks! I ended up buying a cute little touch and feel book for my 3 month old grandson here, so adorable!”

“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.”
