Lovely art supply store with a huge selection of items to choose from. I came here for beads and painting supplies, and checked out the fabric section while I’m at it. It’s so nice to have so many variety of products to choose from all in one of the place, it is perfect for someone who is constantly trying out new media.

Came here to look for leather paint knowing nothing about how to paint on leather. Friendly shopkeepers helped me find the right products, explained the steps generally taken to paint leather and answered my usage questions. A decent selection of goods for my purpose and prices seem reasonable too. Definitely coming back for my next craft project!

There aren’t many arts and crafts stores around so I consider Mendels a gem! Just enough inventory to get what you need. The fabric selection seems to be geared towards costumes vs home or clothing projects.

This is a great store. There is a big selection of fabrics and furs. I love coming here! Here’s the only disappointing thing: The fabrics take up lots of the store and are reasonably priced. But the other part of the store sells brushes and markers, which were really expensive. But hey, rent in San Francisco is expensive. I’ve seen even more expensive art stores, so the price isn’t too bad (but still not the greatest).The staff at mendel’s are really friendly. Will definitely come here when I need to get art supplies!

A nice range of art supplies, but can be pricey and not many options within some categories. Surprised that the back half of the store is mostly wigs and cloth, will be back with Halloween costume ideas! Also, the service is very helpful and friendly. Good for a neighborhood spot!

My girlfriend sent me to Mendel's to buy supplies for her. I unfortunately chose the wrong items and went to return them. Naomi the owner stated firmly the store credit only policy while in the same breath admitted she has made exceptions. Not today apparently. I tried to explain and patiently waited for her to accommodate my request. Naomi refused to help out, telling me she will not refund my money ($60.06). I asked to speak with someone else and her answer was, "the only person above me is God." Terrible customer service. Very disappointed with Mendel's because I only shop local, and Mendel's was not very neighborly to me (and my girlfriend). Don't shop here ~ Flax is better. *update after being ignored by the entire staff, I went to shop my $60.06 credit then & there and just get past this unfortunate situation. What happens next? An unsecured wall shelf fell onto me, banged my head & knocked my glasses clear off my head. Naomi, the owner, reluctantly asked if I was OK, then mockingly asked if I wanted medical attention. Lady Naomi, I'm seeing my doctor tomorrow afternoon because my head hasn't stopped throbbing from the impact of your unfasten shelf. This isn't over. Forget that Mendel's actively practices poor customer service. The space is not safe. It's over crowded. Large wall displays are not secured to the wall. Even their aisle displays are haphazard obstacles. Will update soon.
