Cliffs has to have everything a person could want from hardware store. They have a great selection with decent prices. The workers are extremely helpful and knowledgeable. They are happy to help you out. The place gets pretty crowded, but that just means it is a great store.

i love this girly spot because its accessories, -- think chic suede handbags, wool scarves, and elegant but funky stationary -- are impossible to find elsewhere (unless you want to jet off to soho). the prices are great, too which is rare for a hayes street boutique.
Pros: Adorable store, great variety of quality products, nice owners
Cons: Parking on Hayes can be argh

Plain Jane's has new owners! While I always liked this store, I never liked the staff. The new staff is friendly and the merchandise is much more reasonably priced. The selection is still great - possibley a little less eclectic but I haven't been disappointed yet. They have upgraded their wrapping and now a website. It's now a great family-owned neighborhood store with a great selection of gift items.

There's something for every kid in this store. There's tons and tons of stuffed animals, and a variety of Disney animated films. A great store for anyone trying to shop for there children. Parents can bring there kids, and hopefully a large credit line, when there kid goes crazy over every item in the store. There's also plenty of outfits for any special occasion, such as Halloween. The staff was also very helpful.

So I needed to sign some papers in front of a notary. I looked on line and chose the closest place to where I lived, which happened to be the FedEx on 2nd and Harrison. I walked in and the manager told me "oh, we do not have a notary here" How the hell can you advertise a service you can't provide??? Anyways, the guy gave me directions to a place "a couple blocks away" I spent a good 30min trying to find this place and finally gave up. Went home and this time I looked at the reviews online to find the place with the best service. Everyone was raving about the ups store on Howard. So I walk over there. They let me bring my dogs in while I was doing my business, and on top of that the owner of the place (a very laid-back friendly guy named Ivan) gives me a beer!!! Not a crappy Bud or Miller either, an Import. I will be going back here for all of my shipping needs. Did I happen to mention they also make keys and have P.O. boxes there? I highly recommend this place.
Pros: Great,friendly, and knowledgable service.
Cons: No cons to mention.

I was able to complete a 5 issue arc in one trip. I always leave with something good, and I remember one girl that was working there who was cute. And thank Jesus these guys aren't elitist fanboys. Good selection of comics + Cute girl + No Fan boys; now I'm no mathematician, but I'm pretty sure that makes for an awesome comic shop.

Retro sodas, international magazines and one of the most extensive selections of chocolate... do you need any other reason to stop in?
Fog City News has an amazing selection of chocolates - ranging from Milka and Ritter Sport from Germany to Cote d'Or and Galler from Belgium and many many more. The selection of small batch Austrian chocolates infused with flavors such as ginger and mustard makes you take pause as you try to figure out how they would taste. Looking for a surprise for a child, get a Kinder Egg - which aren't officially sold in the states because of the possibility of a kid choking on the toy inside.
Take care to notice where your chocolate bar is actually produced - especially the British ones like Cadbury, which in this case are made in Canada, not England.
My only gripe is their hours - only open until 6pm during the week and only open one Saturday a month.... which is bad for the sweet tooth, but good for my wallet (and waist!)

Very cute place for stationary, small cute gift, journal, calendar etc. I like the personality of this store, it randomly has very cute baby gifts too. A nice stop when shopping in North Beach at all the clever boutiques on Grant.

Whenever there's a special occasion, I always use Parkside to arrange and deliver flowers for my wife. She loves the flowers here and I know that I get extra brownie points for remembering our special occasions. The flowers are arranged nicely and last a pretty long time. I think they also treat the flowers with plant food so they last longer too. Parking is pretty easy too but I normally call them as I have an account set up. Much easier that way.
