“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!!!”
“All the taxidermy and bones freaked me out a little bit but lots of great merchandise and helpful staff. Great if you're into to this sort of niche interest.”
“Loads of product to explore. It’s a great spot to shop for gifts for yourself and others. Reminds me of items I’d find when visiting my family in Mexico. Did my Christmas shopping here this year and my loved ones were so happy with their gifts.”
“The cutest little store with TONS of cat merch and lots of it from local artists! It can be a tight fit inside, but make sure to check all the corners and under the counters to see everything.”
“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.”
“What a cute gift store! That was my go-to anytime I needed to buy a gift card or a SF-related gift. The SF theme objects are not those poor quality ones that you find at the typical touristy gift shop, they made with quality I good taste. If you’re looking for a SF souvenir, that’s to place to go to! (Or the one on haight street)”
“It was great to see items from the shows in the store and own a memory. We were able to find some unique gifts for friends and families. The staff is knowledgeable, patient and efficient.”
“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.”
“Please support this wonderful store and the family: Connie and her children as they grieve sudden passing of Ricardo- the store’s owner and a loving husband and dad. Ricardo will remain San Francisco’s legend. He was really a great person, giving generously his time and his heart to the community: whether by doing danza Azteca shows, helping public school fundraiser dressed up as a luchador or taking my son as a guest to a powwow of Bay Area Native Americans. What a tragic loss! I hope we all make sure that the store keeps providing livelihood to Ricardo’s loved ones.”
“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.”
“They always do such a fantastic job building out the gift shop for each exhibit. It’s a nice mix of exhibit related items and other things like plates and clothes and books and toys.”

“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!”

“Cute little gift shop with a good collection of jewelry-rings, necklaces, earrings. Also have T-shirt’s, sweaters, gift cards, everything at a reasonable price.”
“Got 2 basket planters here for $22 each that was perfect for my large plants. They did not have a large selection of plastic grow pots or drainage trays (minus 1 star), but nice pots and very kind attendant. Also had a good selection of basket planters that were handwoven but a little out of budget for me.
Really cool store and had more designer planters than other shops in SF”
“The cutest little card shop that has a bit of everything. I love this place and try to come whenever I’m on Valencia! They have THE BEST CARDS! I’ve also gotten candles, socks, jewelry and many many stickers!”
“This place is amazing. I can't tell you enough about it to give it justice. Also the staff is also amazing.
I moved to Miami and still order their essential oils and get daily compliments on how good I smell!
If I could give more than five stars I would. I do miss going into the store as they definitely have the vibe check down.
I am a customer for Life.”

“Love Open Editions... As a local maker, they are one of the best companies to work with and support local makers within the community. Awesome Store with the best selection of artist designed goods anywhere in SF.”

“What a wonderful experience. I wandered into this store after a recommendation from a colleague. I was seeking a particular item, stationery for letters and envelopes. As soon as I entered, Danielle welcomed me with a smile and offered to help. She listened carefully and brought me a wide selection of products to choose from. Each package had a different theme with cards, stickers, and envelopes. I was so pleased with the price and cute factor of all the products. Danielle invited me to explore the store after I made my selection. There are so much fun gift ideas from coasters to bags to women's clothing. During checkout, Danielle explained the history of the store, shared other locations around the Bay Area, and promoted the fact that this store is Female and family owned. I look forward to coming back to explore and recommend you do too! Until next time.”
“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.”
“I love 3 Pillars. It is a mecca of cute, creative, artistic items such as tshirts, hoodies, totes, stickers and more. There is also great artwork. Everything is representative of S.F. and the Asian influence in the City. I want to own and/or gift everything I see in this shop. I love stopping by here when in Japantown and I never leave empty handed. The owners are so friendly and helpful. This is a must shop!”
“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.”
“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 place has been so many things throughout time. In the 70's it was an apartment/art gallery, the 80's thru to 2000 it was various kinds of shops from the arcane to jewelry to herbs to magic to comics but it has always been the spot in my old neighborhood that has always been the go-to place to scope out some of the most interesting things that the Haight Ashbury has to offer. It was a complete blessing to pass by here and also go inside the last time I was in San Francisco.”
“What a lovely store. My wife and I bought a one-of-a-kind pillow from a Mexican artist and we absolutely love it. The staff is super friendly and they have a wonderful variety of home decor.”
“I love this cute lil shop so I wanted to leave a nice review! The shop is tucked away so please don’t miss it :). The person that helped me was so sweet, they lit many incense and helped me find something for myself and a gift for a friend. Highly recommended!”

“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!!”
“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!”

“Post.script is the perfect spot when you're looking for a unique gift for a special friend or just browsing for something fun for yourself. Tucked away off of busy Fillmore Street, there is a wide range of offerings packed into this small spot. The selections are well-curated and can be both practical and wonderfully decorative at the same time. During a recent trip, I picked up several of the Baggu brand reusable bags, as they carry a good selection of these bags. I also found some lovely glassware and whimsical geometric coasters for the perfect birthday gift. The staff was also helpful and courteous, as they have been on all my trips there. Along with checking out the fun gift cards and writing instruments, one can spend a lot of time perusing the different and interesting selections of hair accessories, as well as attractive items for decorating the home. The variety of items and reasonable price points make post.script a spot not to be missed.”
