Makers mark on a leather piece
Steven W.

A gimmicky kind of gift store which sells native american styled items. Parking is the old town standard of street only, usually however this simply means a space around the block. If all else fails, there are both surface lots and a parking garage located around the perimeter of old town. The store is marked by an enormous Minnetonka Moccasin sign in the window. In a way, this tells you a lot about what this store is. Minnetonka doesn't make true moccasins-they make lounge shoes with a hint of native flair. This store sells more the idea of native american culture then the reality. In some ways this is okay. There's nothing wrong with buying t shirts and wall ticky tacky that support native Americans. Collecting kachina dolls can be a fun and satisfying way to learn/exhibit cultural art. It's hard to go wrong with a turquoise bracelet or ring. There are some higher end items for the more serious collector of native american culture, but for the most part this store aims at the middle american market. Which is where things start to get sticky. Cultural misappropriation is a thing and some items for sale here lean dangerously close to stereotype as opposed to art. Overall, it's not bad a store to browse or pick up some small gift/art items, even if it is on the pricier side of things.

Turquoise and Sterling Silver necklace my husband bought me.

We were wondering around Midtown looking for a latte for my husband when we stumbled upon this…read moreplace. It's located two store fronts down from Zocalo next to the Wine Bar. I've been here a few times and wondered if they were still in business and there, they were. They haven't changed a bit. They are tastefully decorated in living room sets that are retro. We are shopping for a love seat so my husband sat in all of them hoping to find one. He liked the red minimalist one the most. The only thing is it looks like it might fold out to a futon, but it doesn't and we really need one for when my mother in law comes to visit and other visitors. They have so many items that I kept pointing to and saying "We used to have one of these." The most memorial items were the Pyrex, which my parents still have and a rotary phone which my parents still have just in case the electricity goes out. They also have the push button one and my parents have one of those too. My parents request to keep their land line and just have the local plan which they use to call their friends. They are afraid the power will go out and they won't be able to call anyone for help. And the power does go out in the winter on a regular basis where they live so this is really good for them. The new phones all use electricity. This shop also has lots of cases of jewelry and their broaches were on display on a mine mannequin. They were very sparkly, but I didn't have the time to really browse as the furniture took up most of my time. As we were finishing up my husband made the comment that he really needs to bring his sister and her husband here as she loves these types of store. They are planning on visiting so we'll be taking her here and to Zocalo too as shopping bring on a appetite.

I'm from the Bay Area but when in Sacramento this is one of my favorite places to find unique…read morefurniture, art and jewelry. If you are looking for high quality mid century modern furniture, stop by this place. The art is what I find myself buying the most of. Very affordable for one of a kind art works or framed prints. The staff / owners are always friendly and knowledgeable.

Immaculate vibes. The best gift shop in Sacramento. Most if not all of the items are local makers…read moreor made in California. You can find just about anything you are looking for here - they have things for kids & young adults, college students, new parents and everything in between and onward. They have stationary, candles, artwork, skincare, books, stickers, candies, kitchen ware, earrings & jewelry... the list goes on! My favorite place to buy a gift not just for others but myself as well. Also they have tons of events! Queer craft club, ceramic workshops, candle making, sip & shop nights, and so much more. It's a wonder how the owner can do it all and make it look so easy. Spenser is a gem of a human being and was extremely helpful when I need help finding the right gift or even just to have a good chat . Sacramento and the surrounding region benefits from having spaces like this not only for retail goodness - but also for the amount of work put in to build community and support the artists/vendors that are in the area. So glad they are located on R street!

I also love how many events and workshops he host. I recently took a ceramic trinket class and it was so fun. Loved being able to shop too! He also host meetups, like queer craft club, and I love that there's a safe space for everyone. If you haven't stopped by you absolutely need to!! He does a great job of representing what's great about Sacramento, the freakin people!

Located in Ice Blocks. I love that I can order my items for pick up here and there's a pick up…read moreorder parking section on the street!!! Don't have to go looking for a parking spot because it's always packed there. It is a very busy plaza with food, groceries, dessert, coffee and a brewery to enjoy. The employees are always so helped and nice. One place where I don't see employees hating their job. Always smells great in there and I love checking out their little sale section. It is never busy so you can enjoy looking at stuff in peace. Beats going to the Roseville Galleria. It a higher end store, so I recommend trying to find items online for pick up, sometimes there's discount codes online that's not in store.

This review deserves a negative if it was possible. The review is for West Elm Cust Service and the…read moreCorporate Office, not the store. Your Cust Service folks are absolutely the worst. They have no empathy, do not understand cust frustrations and keep repeating the same script. Your computer system is also just as bad as CS. Website has bad response time (things keep spinning) and logic. Delivery fees taken at the store cannot be found by cust service (they say it's not the same system??) Certificates disappear and cust service said 'it's how things work, we have no control' ?? They won't even report these bugs to IT. What a joke. Don't apply for their CC - west elm CS will suck the blood out of you.

The staff are amazingly helpful. They don't do delivery but were able to put me in touch with a fantastic referral to help bring us our new bookcase. I loved everything about this place, I even reached back out today to see if anything new came in. I am not surprised that I was greeted with continued excellent service. A sweet woman kindly sent me additonal photos to my phone to check out. These are the kind of business that need our support. I will glad be spending more here. 10/10 recommend!

This was my first time visiting 16th Street Mercantile and it is located in Midtown. 16th Street Mercantile had lots to items to look at - there were multiple rooms filled with so much stuff! I saw beautiful tea cups, records, stuffed animals, kitchen appliances - you name it! They also had an entire room dedicated to Christmas! I also loved seeing their Coca Cola collection as well. I really could go on and on! I don't believe I purchased anything from 16th Street Mercantile, as I was looking for something specific, but I would highly recommend checking them out. Most items were fairly priced, but I did see some other items that I probably wouldn't pay for - which is a personal preference! Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable! Was 16th Street Mercantile my favorite thrift store? No, but it is definitely worth checking out!
