Cliff's Variety is a long-established neighborhood store in the Castro, constantly growing since 1936. It carries a wonderful and excellent inventory of everything from hardware and tools to cookware, garden supplies, toys, crafts, and gifts. The store is a fun, colorful cornucopia of cool gadgets, trinkets, and quality products at reasonable prices. It is a valuable and important business for all kinds of household needs. The very best thing about Cliff's, hands down, is its knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and happy staff. There are always pros around to answer questions, give spot-on advice, and help find things, providing an invaluable service you cannot get online. They also offer many services, including watch repair and battery replacement, re-keying and lock repair, knife sharpening, and light fabrication. The store provides a pleasurable shopping experience with its brilliant selection and affordable, excellent service.
If they don't have it you're unlikely to need it. The best staff in the world - they actually want to help you!
