“Absolutely beautiful gifts, tablecloth designs, bowls & plates; very tasteful Mediterranean patterns. This place is just like the gift shops we visited in France, Italy and Greece.
Love this place; A+++”
“The coolest shop in North Beach run by the best people who built an amazing inventory of the most diverse, fun, and unique gifts - art, clothing, jewelry, home goods, all the things! Everything is so thoughtfully sourced with so much from independent artists + designers, making visiting a special experience. Support them and you support artists who work hard to be active, positive members of the community speaking up for what's right.”
“They have a wide range of scents and price points. Great customer service. Very relaxed but also organized. My house and the houses of my family members are now filled with their products - can't wait for the body fragrance products to come out!!!”
“The Shell Cellar at Fisherman’s Wharf is a unique and charming stop. Packed wall-to-wall with shells of all shapes and sizes, it’s fascinating to browse and feels like a little museum-shop hybrid. A fun, quirky place to explore while walking around the Wharf.”

“There are so many cool facets about this store and it was very hard for me to leave! I felt very welcomed as i viewed everything in the store and it was just so nice in there”
“If you haven't stopped into Jessica's shop on Union Street, do yourself a favor and do it soon. It's not just a great spot for beautiful and unique gifts, but the know-customers-by-name small town vibe is just fantastic.”
“I stopped in while looking for a mahjong table and was pleasantly surprised to find exactly what I needed here. Service was quick and straightforward, and the owner was incredibly kind and helpful throughout the process. English was not their strong suit, but it honestly did not matter at all. Communication was easy, and the service spoke for itself. The table itself was a little overpriced, but for the sake of not having to pay for shipping, I thought it was worth it.
The shop is located on Grant Avenue among a lot of the more tourist-focused stores, so it would be easy to walk past without realizing what is inside. That said, once you step in, it becomes clear this place carries a lot of authentic goods and is not just another souvenir stop. The selection feels genuine and practical, especially if you are looking for traditional items rather than novelty gifts.
Overall, a great experience and a reminder that some of the best spots are the most unassuming. If you are in Chinatown and looking for something specific or traditional, this is absolutely worth a stop.”
“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!”

“This gift shop in downtown Sausalito is one of the better stores, featuring local souvenirs with "Sausalito" emblazoned on them, and also fun products from around world like Studio Ghibli stuff and Adventures with Tin Tin books and gifts! It's a BIG store -- take some time to check out all the nooks of this shop! Prices ranges here depending on what item -- but there's something for everyone here. Staff are not intrusive and generally will service you at the check-out counter.”
“Wonderful little shop selling authentically local gifts. This is not a place you’ll find cheap Chinese trinkets. Everything felt thoughtful and held some type of relation to the area. I thoroughly enjoyed spending a little time here and found some unique gifts for family that wouldn’t be found elsewhere. Regretfully I only took one photo inside, but it’s charming and the staff are exceptionally friendly.”
“i've been to pier 39 but never noticed this shop. Well this time I did so glad this shop has many cute items like Buda statues, elephant decor, inscens. if you are into those items this store is a must. As far as price i found it right on par. The lady working there is so nice she takes time to explain things if you have a questions. One thing is that be careful some item are fragile. I would defiently come back to visit again.”

“A Gem and Sacred Space ?
Routes Gallery has become one of my absolute favorite places—not just to shop, but to be inspired. Nearly every room in my world is touched by the beauty I've found there: my Skin Care Spa is filled with serene Buddha statues, shimmering geodes, and soulful objects that have helped create a sanctuary-like atmosphere for my clients. It's more than decor—it’s energy. A feeling of peace, presence, and reverence that people feel the moment they walk through the door.
My home and garden are equally graced by their treasures: a majestic Balinese water goddess by the fountain, a large Buddha watching over my deck, and a meditation room filled with meaningful, handpicked items—all from Routes Gallery.
What truly makes this place extraordinary is the owner, Richard Routher. Richard is a gem —kind, thoughtful, full of creative ideas, He always goes above and beyond, and it shows in every interaction that I have had.
Whether you're looking to infuse your space with sacred beauty or searching for that perfect meaningful gift, Routes Gallery is a place of wonder and heart. I’m forever grateful I found it.

“I went to this store to get help with my shoe's sole falling out. The employee there made a great effort to help me by giving us tape and rubber bands to hold up my shoe before I can get a proper repair.”
“Very kind and helpful staff. They helped me find some things in my wife's size. Lots of cool, charming and unique items to be found, and they can make custom bracelets from their selection of beads etc.”
“This is aVery clean and a lot of nice souvenirs gift shop. I was looking for the gifts for my family and friends when I go to San Francisco, I found everything in this store. It was saving so much time.”

“A nice souvenir shop! We accidentally left a bag yesterday and Emmanuel and Nancy, wonderful employees, took care of it. We went back 24h later and got it back, we're so grateful for their help and honesty”
“If you are in San Francisco’s Chinatown, I highly recommend visiting this jewelry shop for their incredible selection of jewelry and beads. The store is neat, clean and comfortable for shoppers. The owner, Lily, is exceptionally knowledgeable and provides personalized service, whether you are looking for a new piece or need professional help with restringing and repairs.
I purchased three items (1 Amber bracelet and 2 mala beads) during my last visit and was impressed by both the high quality and the very reasonable pricing. It has easily become one of my favorite stores in the area. Whether you are a collector or looking for a special gift, this shop is a must-visit!
I will come back again!”

“This was our first time at this fun store. We were drawn in by the colors and openness of the layout. Jordan was funny and helpful in pointing out details in some of the merchandise. We bought two stress relief toys, but eyed so many items we want to get next time. Highly recommend checking it out!!”
“Great experience! Every item is a surprise and delight. The owner/managers are also friendly and engaging as they share the stories behind the pieces and the artisans. I look forward to my next visit.”
“Awesome shop full of antiques and new stock. Something for everyone. From $1 magnets to $3000 Ming Dynasty furniture and everything in between. 2 floors with lots to see and shop!”
“We came across this store while visiting the pier.
Loved the store and all the items they offer. Staff was super friendly and helpful!
And our niece loves the ducky and bucket hat.
Will definitely revisit next time on the pier!!!”
“I've been going here for quite a few years now. The staff are friendly, helpful and speak English and Chinese. I have been up and down Chinatown looking at different stores and if you want to get some family or friends some gifts from San Francisco, this is the place to go. Many people walk in and out and then come back after they checked prices. The own two stores across the street from each other. Nice place.”
“T. Jamyang Nordup [the once monk proprietor of this outpost for Tibetan spiritual exchange] has said he is from south of Lhasa, near the border of Nepal, in a place named Kyidrong [translated from Tibetan, as Happy Valley, or Village of Hapiness]. in the past, Kyidrong was a place for fellow Buddhists to congregate, as they traveled from India, and other Holy regions, destined or coming from Lhasa. This shop then, was a vision of Mr. Nordup's, when he came to America in 1988, as a refuge for information, on what some Westerners have named, "Shangri-la". During our discourses in fact, he has explained his great passion for the numerous subjects about Tibet, which he says are very delightful to discuss with visitors.”

“Revolution 9 is such a cute shop! I stopped by yesterday for the first time in about ten years. It was nice to see how very little had changed in all the ways that matter. Going down the list: Attentive customer service? Check. Excellent selection of fun, nerdy, and political gifts? Check, check, and check! If you have Star Wars, Tolkien, Harry Potter, or Studio Ghibli fans in your life, Revolution 9 is a great place to shop for gifts. I got my fiancé a funny "Greetings from Tatooine" postcard and found a My Neighbor Totoro insulated lunch bag for myself. I love the friendly and welcoming vibes here and will be sure to wait less than ten years for my next visit.”
“Susan has the best collection of heirloom toys and a myriad of treasures that are unforgettable, unbelievable and magical, just like she is! The best store I have visited in my life, must see to believe.....”

“The Exploratorium Store is the place to get all kinds of generic science-related gifts. Mainly stuff for kids, and some of their inventory you can likely find elsewhere online. A lot of the products are only vaguely related to the Exploratorium and what is displayed in it, there wasn't much Exploratorium branded merch or memorabilia outside of a few shirts and buttons. Would love to see more, honestly. The prices can be high, I remember seeing a pin that was not much bigger than a thumbtack going for $13, but it's an expensive museum so it makes sense that their gift shop is also expensive. Other than that, it's fine quality. My little brother really liked the knee-doh ball he got here. Overall, 4/5.”
