We bought 2 watches and my engagement ring over the past year and half. No where else can you find a staff that is so knowledgeable and helpful as well as FAIR!!! A rare thing to find in this industry. I won't shop anywhere else for my jewelry again as these guys know their stuff and their prices AND quality cant be beat!!!Not to mention their shop is as cool in appearance as they come, its something to see. I now realize that retail is NOT the way to go.
Pros: Service is outstanding, deals are unbeatable
Cons: parking was a little challenging until I found the mission st garage

Whenever we travel away from our home town of Seattle we always try to stop at a local antique mall to see if we can find any antique and vintage buttons to add to our collection. We learned about the SF Antique & Design Mall from the internet. What we found when we arrived there was an incredible inventory of everything from true historical treasures to wonderful junk. They have it all! Everything is wonderfully displayed without looking cluttered and is very well lit. The staff was very helpful, friendly and attentive, yet didn't make you feel like they thought you were about to break something or were on the verge of shoplifting. It was very relaxed. Being from out of town, we especially appreciated the service we received from "Randy." Randy was dandy! We found what we were looking for and even purchased a couple of great items we weren't looking for. Pricing seems to be fair to both seller and buyer.
There were only two minor "negatives" we can think of. The first was caused by bad timing on our part. The rush hour traffic was horrendous. The second was the upstairs portion of the mall. It wasn't nearly put together as well as the main floor. But these were minor things and did not take away from the enjoyment of our "antiquing" experience in the least. The next time we're in San Fransisco we will make SF Antique & Design Mall one of our priority destinations. We visit a lot of antique malls around the country, but this one surpasses them all. If you go there be sure to ask for Randy.
Pros: Selection. If you don't want to buy it, it's still fun to look at. Like being in a time machine!
Cons: Traffic!

I found a blue satin Betsey Johnson dress that Im sure was from this years line for $65. Not sure why anyone would want to give this gorgeous frock up...but it's mine now!!
I love going into Crossroads because they always have the best labels, and an especially great shoe selection. And I personally like to trade my stuff in because its good for the environment. I just hate to toss it into the landfill.
Pros: Fantastic finds, recycling is good for the environment
Cons: dont always have my size

The window displays are incredible but that's just the tip of the iceberg. Shopping in the wasteland is not a waste of time. great selection of high quality vintage clothing and prices are very reasonable. I've found some of my favorite jackets here. the real experience is looking through the vast variety of neatly organized selection of clothes, shoes and accessories for men and women.

I happened upon Lang's on a recent visit to SF and my head is still spinning from the quantity AND quality of this store's inventory -wow! I've never seen anything like it anywhere. I haven't purchased anything yet, but the saleswoman who worked with me (sorry, her name escapes me) couldn't have been more gracious or patient with my girlfriend and me. I intend to buy her a significant gift soon, and I have little doubt that this will be the place I go. Their website is pretty amazing also.
Pros: Greatest Selection I've Ever Seen!

I absolutely love this bookstore. My cousin and I go to the book readings and get to meet our favorite mystery authors. The people in this bookstore are very friendly and are always there to help you find the exact book that you are looking for. The store is not huge, but the amount of books and ambiance compensate for it. I highly recommend this bookstore to all those people who love a good mystery. It is a great asset to our city. Five stars!!
