I recently purchased a crystal bracelet from Namaste Store on 4th St in San Rafael and I must say that I am extremely disappointed with the poor quality of the product. Within just one month of wearing it, the bracelet started falling apart, leaving me feeling frustrated and dissatisfied with my purchase. Considering the price I paid for this crystal bracelet, I expected a much higher level of quality and durability. Unfortunately, this product fell far short of my expectations. I would strongly advise against purchasing this bracelet, as it is not worth the money or the disappointment.

This shop is absolutely amazing and I can not wait to go back. The owners are incredible and dedicated to making the community more peaceful/kind. I need to invest in some of their stones. I absolutely recommend this shop. They also have beautiful clothing, jewelry and great gift options!

The owners of this shop go above and beyond for their customers. I've truly never known a shop like this one, and I have so much gratitude. We came in to this shop some months ago looking for a very specific incense, which is difficult (if not impossible) to find here in the US. The shop owner said she would be travelling to Nepal in a few months and would look for this particular incense at the grand market (she indicated that every kind of incense could be found there). I left my phone number with her and, quite frankly, did not expect to hear back. I WAS SO WRONG! She called me back exactly as she had promised upon returning to the US to let me know that she found the incense and had 10 boxes set aside for me. I was so blown away that she remembered and thought to call me. Of course, I bought all her stock in this incense because who knows when we would ever find it again! In case you're wondering, the incense is called Aparajita. It is the scent that the Beatles burned during their recording sessions beginning with the Revolver album. And, no, I don't believe they have any left, because we cleaned them out. :) LOL Also, I learned that in some cases the FDA won't sign off on some imports due to ingredients that have not been approved. I can only speculate why this incense is so hard to find here, but I do wonder if it has something to do with that. Regardless, as Beatles fans and as we carefully attempt to recreate "the vibe" of that recording sesh, we are eternally grateful that this shop assisted us with this search. A million thank yous!!!

Such a cute little shop. Higher prices since covid, but I guess that is to be expected. I have several crystals from this place, as well as a few bracelets and some pieces of clothing that I just adore.

Working with the staff of Namaste was so easy. Shipping heavy items from the west coast to the east coast was a lot of work, but each step was met with a staff willingness to serve. The large selection of unique items will have me returning in the future. You can’t go wrong with Namaste Gift Shop.

Just a nice place. A good variety of products, good prices, friendly staff. I liked their reusable fabric bags they provide.

This is a wonderful shop owned by a lovely young couple and their two little children. There are plenty of shops selling imports from Nepal & Tibet, etc. but this is the best one to go to. They have a great selection of reasonably priced cashmere scarves!

Wonderful place and excellent customer service. Went to all the surrounding stores and they beat their prices by a lot. The young man was super helpful, patient, friendly and knew we were on a budget. He even gift wrapped and through in a pillow for our chiming bowl. Will go there from now on!

I love this shop and I support it wholeheartedly. I actually drive from Oakland to come to Namaste in San Rafael. The owner is a very kind human being and that resonates out amongst all of the beautiful and sacred items they carry. When guests come in my home they feel something different because of the great beings that bless my space (some of which I have gotten from Namaste.) What special thing should grace your home from this shop?

There is no better store of its kind in the Bay Area in my opinion. You will find magical treasures of all types, reflecting the owner's authentic Nepalese heritage and excellent taste. Home goods and decorations, fashion, jewelry, cultural figurines and statues - lots of things you might expect to find in a Tibetan shop, but many more things that you won't even find in Tibet itself! Dipij and his wife have created something special here. Visit once and it won't be your last.
