This place is pretty big and it has variety ranging from bachelorette/bachelor party supplies, children supplies, and all sorts of theme parties for other occasions. After buying here several times, I would say that the customer service is inconsistent but generally okay. Sometimes they are short staffed or seem to be busy with other things. I'd say the prices are probably the best in San Francisco.
Pros: Variety, Price
Cons: Inconsistent customer service

The best thing about University Art is that it offers a discount to the school my cousin attends - Academy of Art University. The selection is not great but they have everything that students of AAU need.

You know, I have not really been a comic book fan since I was in junior high school. So when I met the crazy proprietors of this new comic book store in Hayes Valley, I was a bit skeptical. However, I then went by when they were having a comic book signing. WHAT AN AMAZING PLACE! The styling, colors and layout of the store completely change the feel of it from a dark store with rows and rows of comic books to an open, inviting and hip spot to find trendy new media. They have guest signings on a regular basis and even had a live band playing a couple of weeks ago. I highly suggest you stop in -- especially if you have not been to a comic book store since you were a teenager.

I went to this shop to get my small helium tank filled for a party my family was attending in the area. I'm glad they were available, as I had promised that my helium tank would be used. As usual, I did not check the amount of helium left in the tank. Anyway, this store provided the cheap re-fill, and I noticed also that they had tanks for rent, as well as the usual supply of balloons, supplies, etc. This is a small store where parking was a hassle. This whole area around the area is tough to drive, but...places to find helium are not that easy to find, so I was not too bothered by the inconvenience. Seemed like the only balloon and helium store on Missian.

Store is very clean and well stocked. Personnel are very helpful and courteous. This is one store where you don't leave empty handed; there's always something that catches your eye, and you end up buying it.
The staff, mainly Chinese, need to smile a bit more. Life can't be all that serious.
Pros: Well stocked, Helpful Personel, Good Item Selection
