“I ordered the #PS509 Flight Attendant 3-D Wood Sign with a lower personalization plate for my sister-in-law last month. She is now a retired Purser for a major US airline, and that plaque was just perfect for her retirement party. At first, the sign was showing not available on their website. A quick call to Nancy there at Tailwinds solved that problem (computer glitch), and the follow-on ordering was super easy! A few days later, Nancy called me back and said that the manufacturer suggested a slightly different formatting of the lower personalization plate (where the airline name and dates of service are printed.) I accepted that slight tweak, and in just a few days, the completed plaque was sent directly to my brother (so he could wrap it up for the pending party.) My sister-in-law LOVES the plaque, and it is now proudly displayed in her home office (along with all of my brother's USMC plaques from the '80s.) In fact, all of her fellow flight attendants just had to know where she got that sign from, so I quickly provided them a link to the Tailwinds.com website. Just some great products and excellent customer service! Thanks, Tailwinds, and Nancy!”

“Everyone is super nice and knowledgeable here, and the prices are so reasonable! I'm super shy but everyone here put me at ease. I was looking to create a fish tank cover with cutouts for my filter etc and Junior turned out also to be an aquarium enthusiast! I didn't come in with questions, but he educated me on the thickness of the acrylic meant to go under LED lights and heated water, whether or not it'll bow over time, how much light will pass through to my plants, and so on! He's so nice and patient, and made sure that my cover was the perfect dimensions. The cutouts are an additional $5 for each in addition to the price of the rectangular acrylic and the entire custom piece came out much cheaper than the pet shop.In addition, Edgar and one other person (sorry, I forgot his name!) helped answer questions about other pieces in the store and their customization. The plastic containers = food safe, great for use as travel bottles, and basically wholesale price--how could you beat that?”

“Hands down, Gamescape is one of the best board game stores I’ve found! During my travels, I always make it a point to visit board game stores as part of my itinerary and I never fail to grab a game or two. In Gamescape, I left with FOUR (only because of my luggage limitations)The store has a very large collection - they sell well known classics to recent additions. And to top it off, their staff are extremely knowledgeable and helpful too. A strong recommendation to anyone within the vicinity who is interested in this hobby!”

“i would give this 100 stars if i could. There's a new game that's super popular that has been going nuts. All the game stores around Norcal have banded together to gouge the community and rob players of a chance for affordable materials. This gem of a store has made it very clear they are a pillar for this community and they are for the PLAYERS. It's something the other LGS' don't understand because when you treat people as people and not a money printer it builds your brand and trust. you are not a metric to gamescape, youre a friend, family, person, and will be seen. save this lgs at all costs. thank you, 100% will be back!!!!”

“It's a modestly sized shop tucked away in the side streets of Chinatown. The charming & homely atmosphere makes browsing their densely packed shelves a genuine and welcoming experience. Small businesses like this are what make SF shine!”

“I called the store to see if they had a panel I needed and they did. The employee offered to hold it behind the counter as it was the last one on stock. A few minutes later she called me back to let me know that the panel had a tiny scratch and she was worried that it might affect my art project. I went to the store and the scratch was totally acceptable and would be invisible once I painted over it. I was impressed with her concern and that she took the time to call me back. She was also helpful when I was purchasing some watercolor brushes. I give this store and employee an excellent rating for caring customer service, professionalism and courtesy. Thank you so much!”

“I went in looking for a simple, but sturdy plastic board to support the end of a cage that was an inch longer than the end of the counter. Sam made sure I chose the right kind of plastic (I didn't know there was even a difference) to survive what this board would be exposed to (bleach, cleansers). Well, the board is perfect and thank you, Sam, for suggesting one corner be rounded. I could not think of anything I would have done differently. It's perfect.”

“There is nobody like Bobby and he is kind and patient. If you want uniqueness , no hard sell, and genuine passion to witness a young man who loves what he does and is doing what he loves, come here. I drove here from San Francisco and have never seen the depth, breadth and range -- you can see it, touch it and feel it. He comes from a family of collectors, so it's part of his foundation and clearly, how he operates.”

“Super7 always puts up an awesome booth during any of the comic cons they come out to. Love their collabs and superior quality shirts. I've purchased most of their peanuts and kaiju ones online but wanted to visit the site while in town.A lot of items in the store were out of stock due to popular demand, but expected. The guy behind the counter was super friendly and helpful.”

“Cute and friendly cat! The cashier was nice overall! Had a situation with miscommunication on pricing, and when confronted, the owner was respectful and apologetic. To the business: I appreciate the apology, I see it was an honest mistake. Go support them and meet the friendly cat!”

“Great picture framing service. Kathleen is awesome. I watched her frame, back, and wire a piece for another guy while he waited - such a pro. I've been going to Cheap Pete's for years and now I know it is NOT cheap. Michael's is a way better deal and way faster. I'll be back.”

“I came into sell some coins I inherited from my grandmother. I didn't know too much about them and wasn't sure if I wanted to sell them. I dealt with Bob who was pleasant and patiently answered my questions. I ended up selling them because I felt he offered a fair price.”
