“Dependable and trustworthy source for the most exquisite vintage jewels. If you cannot be in San Francisco they will send it to you. Wonderful experience every time.”
“My experience here was so helpful and wonderful. My consultant was Jenny, she made this process so fun. This was the first place we went to look into engagement rings because it was recommended by a friend and after our appointment I honestly feel like i don’t need to look anywhere else!! Jenny made me feel so comfortable and answered all the questions I had.
I loved the options that they had in the shop, they had a little bit of everything without feeling overwhelmed.”

“I have visited the store and the Artist Fair market as a customer and later as a seller of art. First of all the store on the first floor is one of a kind amazing. The various print artifacts could occupy you for hours; there are so many interesting things to see from the history of print, a huge spectrum. There is no other place like this. Mark and his staff were super friendly and helpful from the first time I entered the store.
In fact, that first visit, I chatted a bit with Mark and I left inspired to step out of my comfort zone and sell some of my artwork. 4 events later I did manage to in fact sell some of my artwork to my delight and amazement! Mark and staff are top notch in helping all of the artists and creators with the set up and make it seamless. They have created a welcoming and supportive community of artists and creators and it's been a wonderful experience! Thank you Mark, Jake, Israel and Melanie! ? -Kat (aka Katalina Art) ? ??”

“This is a MUST see, when visiting SF. It is one of the most unique antique and ephemera mercantiles I’ve ever been too. The owner Mark and his staff are incredibly knowledgeable and very kind.
It is like a museum you can interact with and purchase. I now have some incredible pieces I’ve added to my stationary and ephemera collection. Hope to photograph a wedding one day there. Such a beautiful event space where they hold regular artists markets.”
“There’s a saying in the watch collecting world…don’t buy the watch, buy the seller. Thats because trust is paramount. Great family business and superior service. I bought a fabulous watch and now I have a new friend. I will not hesitate to buy from this family again. And you shouldn’t either.”

“I visited my kids during their Spring Break. My daughter got a little job at Hal's Office Coffee shop. She wanted to show me her new place of employment. I hadn't been to Albany in over 10 years! I immediately vibed with the little town. After my daughter picked up some coffee, I knew I wanted to walk around. I was instantly drawn to Umami. What stunning artifacts. As a minimalist, I wanted to buy everything! I graciously and gladly resorted to and settled on a set of earrings and necklace. I absolutely love them. Umami is a beautiful shop. And the Shop Attendant was just as beautiful, sweet, helpful, personable, and welcoming. When I visit my kids next, during the summer, I will be back!”
“Went there with Alex to purchase two Penny Farthings for his San Jose bike shop. He bought a silver and black one. We loaded it in his beat up green rusty old van. It was a spilritual experience. Greg was humble, fair. Gave us a discount on the black because it was very slightly used and the silver one (I think was made of stainless steel). Alex enlisted me to help him because I had a little experience riding scrappy original Penny Farthings in the Antelope Valley in Lancaster Fair parades and in Rosamond at the Tropico Gold Mine Chili contests.”
“We have bought several pieces from Chris and Kobe over the past few years, and we have always been more than happy. The chairs and loveseats are extremely comfortable, as well as being elegant in appearance and design. Every piece that we bought has been brought up to like-new appearance, using authentic finishing materials. We have, also, brought in pieces that we found elsewhere, and had Chris refinish and repair minor damage, and the results exceeded our expectations. Chris is also very knowledgeable of mid-century modern furniture designers, as well as suppliers of replacement parts (such as chair springs). Despite his extensive knowledge, Chris is very approachable and not the least bit condescending. If we had a complaint, it would only be that we are always tempted to buy more exquisite pieces of furniture, when ever we visit the warehouse.”
“Jana Olson is great. Her workshop Is wonderful. As a lamp lover I was in awe If you have a lamp any age they can fix it. Prices are reasonable and appointments are easy to make. Me lamp repair person closed up shop so I was in a little bit of a quandary about someone to find that beautiful bargain I find to have repaired. Thank you. I even bought a lamp from her.”
“Very very lovely store! The owners are so nice and helpful. This store is stacked with beautiful items to buy from clothes to jewelry and even black soap and body oils. Love shopping here, I spend $200 and over every time cause it's WORTH IT!”
“Wonderful collection of superlative rugs. Excellent website. I never felt as if I were being sold anything; I did receive prompt, top notch customer service from experts. I highly recommend.”
“Cute shop, affordable clothes. Lots of options for souvenirs. I was disappointed not to find a tiny mug option. They only have large and espresso size but nothing in the middle or a smaller mug that is not medium size. Hard to fly with a huge mug and hard to drink a small cup of tea/coffee in a shot glasses size mug.”
“Stumbled upon this cute vintage antique store while walking around after lunch! They had so many cute stuff and I ended up getting a pair of brass shell bookends. The customer service was also great!”
“Needed a damaged table fixed and Hafe did a terrific job. Much better than I expected. Very happy with the service. Thank you Jafe! I’ll definitely be back ?”
“Is there any better piece of furniture than a beautifully maintained mid-century dresser? You’ll find that here, along with so many other special pieces. I was introduced to the “Fried Egg Chair,” which it now on my wish list. Great owner, incredible selection. Definitely stop in!”
“Richard is a great guy — friendly, welcoming, and clearly passionate about what he does. You can tell he truly loves collecting and curating unique pieces. His shop is filled with amazing collections — from nostalgic finds to rare and interesting treasures that you don’t see every day. Every corner has something that sparks curiosity and conversation.
It’s the kind of place where you can browse for a few minutes and end up staying much longer because there’s just so much to discover.
If you appreciate unique collectibles and want to support a wonderful local business owner, make sure to stop by. Highly recommend!”
“I encourage you to go out of your way to visit Mixed Pickles. Owner is super friendly, allows you to pick up their ‘booby trapped’ stock ?. A wonderful gem of curated items, paraphernalia, curiosities, clothing, and some pickle related items of course. The owner screen prints their own flyers, that change regularly. GO VISIT!!!!”
“The owner is an incredible wealth of knowledge, and so generous with sharing tips about best places to go in the bay for antique hunting, even if he's sending away business. Great store!”
“My fiancé and I most highly recommend Zaver & Mor. The store has a captivating selection of jewelry from local artists including many unique choices for engagement rings. We found an engagement ring with a setting we loved and the owner helped us source a different center stone because we had our hearts set on a green sapphire in the same shade as a center stone from another ring in the store. The entire shopping experience was personalized and relaxed. The owner Rada is a wonderful resource, knows her gems, is transparent, and cares about sustainable practices. We are so glad that we found this store and have Zaver & Mor as a part of our engagement story.”
“If you love antique prints and maps, this place is definitely a place to stop. Rene is such a nice lady and is very kind. She also makes her own artistic sketches that she sells. This place is very unique and gives off an old world charm. You can also find other antique items such as pottery and other antique decorative goods. I come by every few weeks to see what’s new or just for a nice chat with Rene. Also dog friendly, highly recommend !”
“I had the opportunity to work with Mark Busaca during the late 1990s and early 2000s while helping organize sporting events, including several televised on ESPN and HBO.
Mark designed the event posters and was responsible for creating the VIP experience, and I can honestly say his work was outstanding.
His attention to detail, creativity, and ability to transform a space into a first-class environment was remarkable. The ambience he created for guests and sponsors always elevated the event and left a lasting impression. Mark consistently delivered a polished experience.
I highly recommend Mark to anyone looking for a gallery experience.”
“Coup D'Etat is one of my favorite furniture sources in all of the Bay Area. Working with Alessandro has been a true pleasure every time I stop into the store and he is responsive when it comes to communicating about our orders. The store is full of unique and beautifully crafted items. Being in such a well-curated space is inspiring to all of the senses and I highly recommend stopping for both the customer service and custom finishes.”

“Ive been shopping with Rick Hudson Estate liquidation for years. The Hudson team is highly professional and is probably one of the most seasoned and knowledgeable in the San Francisco Bay Area. Recently Rick expanded his business to include the ESTATE FURNITURE STORE. The store sells a fast moving selection of gently used furniture that range from vintage to antique . On the first day he opened I purchased a sweet teak Danish Modern rocker at a very fair price. At his store you can not only find Mid Century Modern but also Art Deco, Victorian, Industrial as well as classic traditional furniture too. They sell lighting and many decorative things to hang on your walls. If your on the hunt to find interesting things for your home always try to drop into Ricks shop because you never know what's going to turn up.”
“I went into Solano Rug Gallery and was greeted by a sweet man named Iraj. I've had this rug for years and now looks brand new thanks to him. I was very skeptical giving someone my expensive rug, but I am so glad I did. He had it cleaned and looking new in a matter of days! This man runs a great and honest business so I had to share.”

“I am a designer with over 30 years experience and have been shopping at Zentner Collection almost since the beginning of my career. I was in yesterday and was reminded why it is my go to for Japanese furniture and accessories. Steve was outstanding with his customer service. Knowledgeable and eager to help. Even printing out tear sheets (without being asked) for all the items we were interested in. Huge selection at a variety of price points and great quality. Even if you think you don't love asian furniture a visit in will likely change your mind!”
