“They’re so nice and helpful! I went there to get art supplies for my class, and I was a bit lost, but they were so kind and helped me find exactly what I needed.”
“Great selection, great prices. I prefer spending my money on mom and pop businesses and I don't regret trying this place out. They have the basics and more, plus the owner is AWESOME, he's knowledgeable and friendly. Doesn't try to push any purchase he only makes suggestions. Keep it up”
“Found what I was looking for quickly and was asked multiple times if I was finding what I needed. I like being seen by the staff. They were all very busy up dating the store but none of them dismissed the customers as they worked on up grading the shelf systems..”
“This is a great place, five stars for a reuse / recycle art store. The inventory varies, but in a good way that means that you'll see new items every visit. I like browsing just to get inspiration for a new project. I've gotten supplies here for kids, and also found it convenient to buy individual misc items instead of big package items like at chain stores. The staff are nice, they accept cash, and Street parking can be tough but hello have seen the neighborhood parking is what it is.”
“I want to thank Mimi at the San Diego Lakeshore Learning Store. I was looking for items for my granddaughters Easter baskets and she was beyond friendly and helpful! I will be purchasing all my presents from Lakeshore.”
“Freeform is the only ceramic supply store I've been recommended, and will only recommend to anyone asking for one. I've consistently found everything I was looking for, and have received great advice on the small odd questions I come up with (like the bottle of underglaze I've got saying cone 5-4, when it can actually be used for more than that.)”
“This is an amazing little shop…a hidden gem. Lots of homegrown brands, rare snacks and drinks, as well as a cool art supply shop. Do yourself a favor and check them out! It’s run by a group of solid individuals.”
“We love our local art shop!! Owner is always so kind and often gives a smile/wave when you walk by, regardless of whether you’re coming in to buy anything.
I love stopping by to check out the rotating gallery and pickup some fun pens/markers.
I’m fully convinced the poor reviews on this page were weird one-off situations bc we’ve had nothing but great interactions with this business. Supporting small biz in this day and age is far more important to me than having to wait a few extra minutes for the owner to open shop (which we’ve never experienced in about a dozen visits, by the way - just addressing others’ complaints).”
“Best place for house decoration to house use items. Plus gardening, painting things, cloth kitchen and bath related things. Children to every age can buy things and no one comes empty hands from Hobby Lobby.”
