“Their stuff is always fairly priced at market price, and when I asked the manager how? Why? What? He said, “because it’s fair.” You love to hear it. Knowing people and shops like this are in your neighborhood can really put a smile on your face. Amazing.”
“I inherited a coin collection from my family, and found the U.S. Stamp and Coin company online.
I met with Ron and he assessed my collection, explained what I had and paid me much more than my research suggested. He was totally professional and a pleasure to deal with. I highly recommend Ron and his company.”
“I pick up a new kit every time I walk in here! Always something new, his stock is always rotating. I don't think I've seen the same kit on his shelves twice. Everything from entry grade to perfect grade unleashed, and reasonable prices (especially with the additional 25% off). Not just Gunpla, but also kits from Evangelion, One Piece, DBZ, Star Wars, and others. Keep in mind, it is primarily a Gunpla store if you're looking for anything else. The staff also has given me great advice on my builds, as well!”

“Spent part of the afternoon chatting with Nathan — he’s the man! Looked through the little collection I brought in and gave me tons of info and helped me sell the coins to the shop. He also showed me some insane coins they have. Come in and ask for Nathan!”
“I stopped by today just to pick up a couple of supplies. I ended with everything I need and then some! Jim was such a wealth of knowledge and encouragement. His joy for his craft was contagious. I had such a pleasant trip to this shop, I’m definitely looking forward to returning! A quick stop turned into truly one of my most joyful shopping experiences of my life! Thanks Jim!”
“This is the best vintage toy store I’ve visited so far. You can truly feel the twenty years the owner has spent collecting these toys. The space is filled with layers of time, and I absolutely love being here.”
“A treasure on 4th street. Wonderful books and a great selection of gifts along with helpful, friendly staff. If you haven't been to this store, you need to go!”
“This is a community place, they host gaming sessions of all different types of games d&d magic the gathering chess etc. They have things for sale, snacks it's a great little community spot”
“Love Blick. Amazing amount of supplies and helpful staff, good location.
They have supplies for every conceivable kind of art that I can think of. Student discounts available. It's really an artists treasure trove.”
“Spent the entire day there last Saturday for a regional Catan tournament...Really nice facility, lots and lots of games, and most importantly a staff that was very kind and welcoming. Traveled in from Phoenix, so may not be there anytime soon, but definitely would recommend as a top gamers option! Thanks Games of Berkeley for such a fun experience!”
“The staff is soooo friendly I enjoy coming here! I always find what I need. Theres sales often. This location doesn’t do custom framing I believe, market does!”
“We've always seen this colorful kite shop that you can't miss on Grant Ave. It is happy, fun, and full of kites, toys, and more. We've stopped by for souvenir pennies outside in front of the store. But, our last visit I saw beautiful Chinese new year lanterns in the window. I really liked it and hadn't seen this specific decoration anywhere in the 5+ stores I had already been to in Chinatown earlier that day. It is a beautiful red lantern decoration with velvet and sequins on it. I bought one to take home.
Once I got home, I soon realized I wanted to get 4 more and hang them on my stairway. SF is at least an 1hr+ drive each way for me, so I called their store to see if they could ship it to me. They took my info and charged me for the lanterns and shipping. Albert, the owner, shipped it the next day. They shipped it on Monday and we received it on Tuesday! Probably because we live relatively close, but I really appreciated the fast and accurate shipping! They also packaged the lanterns well and carefully.
Thank you Albert and Chinatown Kite Shop for our new Chinese New Year decorations! I am so happy. This is definitely a trustworthy shop and quality products and service!”
“Went into Jeff's shop today looking to buy silver. I ended up buying silver and having a good conversation. Jeff is a very knowledgeable numismatist. His shop was super nice and he was a pleasure to deal with. If you're in the area and looking for some coins I'd advise you check him out.”

“Had a great experience selling my silver coins here. Larry gave me a great price and unlike other places that were trying to rip me off he is very honest and knowledgeable.”
“Dennis is The King. I always enjoy talking with Dennis about the Days of the Fillmore, Fillmore West, Family Dog, and Winterland.
I have made many purchases from his gallery and I trust Dennis to be a man of his word when it comes to the authenticity and quality of these items. Thanks for sticking around Dennis.

“A cool little place to get supplies, paint, paintbrushes, pins all kinds of different types of paper. Like, I said, it's a cool place. The the workers are out and more than willing to assist you to get all the supplies for the art class, he's taking.”
“Hidden gem for board gamers. They have a great stash of well selected board games. Yes it’s basically piled high with stuff and it’s not the most comfortable shopping experience but that’s part of the charm.”
“I have been a customer of Dennis King for over 40 years. I have purchased everything from sports cards, non-sports cards, 49er Starter jackets, 70s Warriors warm up jackets, baseball caps, sports programs and schedules. King's Baseball Cards is the one stop shop for the intelligent connoisseur who is also a smart shopper of sports memorabilia. Prices are reasonable and fair. I am certain Dennis has some items at good prices that you will be unable to find elsewhere.
Many decades ago, I came into Dennis's original shop on Bancroft, looking to fill a super rare non-sports card set. Dennis helped me fulfill a long time dream to complete my 1962 Mars Attacks set at a reasonable price. Dennis told me that I was offering to pay too much. That set alone is now worth a small fortune if you can find someone willing to part with one.
Dennis is always willing to share his vast knowledge of sport cards. He has likely forgotten more than I will ever know.
Dennis, thank you for making my collection what it is today.”

“As a knife enthusiast I felt in Heaven in this small, family owned shop. Although small in size, they have great selection of knives, including custom, rare collectable models and discontinued models as well . Keep in mind not all knives are displayed on their website, so, if you have chance, visit them. I spent great time during the 5 days I was in SF and I would say I made some friends. Great service from the owners and from the staff. Very helpful, very knowledgeable.”
“I went to Michael's with my daughter to only purchase knitting needles today; however, since they always carry an array of amazing items, we purchased more items at an excellent discounted price.”
“Update to my previous review from 2 days ago. The finished products are awesome. I was all set to cancel my order since it took a month, but I got a call that they were completed and ready for pick up. Here's one of them. I'm very pleased”
“Great for basic supplies. I stopped in for a quick t-shirt painting project. I was surprised they had a good selection of affordable t-shirts for the project. I had only gone in looking for fabric paint and iron-on letters. The salesperson was new, but very friendly and did their best to be helpful.”

“We recently purchased an acrylic panel for our living room skylight. The staff at TAP Plastics provided excellent service on the selection of a cost effective material, In addition, the staff helped us size and adjust the large sheet dimensions to obtain a perfect fit. Awesome!”
