This was our first stop, before lunch, in Pacifica. Sirens is a lovely gift shop that has…read morecoastal/beach themed items, many of which are locally made. It is located near the Rockaway Beach area and is close to other shops, restaurants and hotels. We were warmly greeted by the owner. She was so friendly and had a lot of recommendations for us that were in the Pacifica area. She was so happy to see us and we had a nice time visiting with her and enjoying her shop. We found a cool wine bottle opener that was shaped like a fish, a cute turtle bowl and some really nice soaps that were locally made. She also had a nice selection of jams, that were locally made as well. We purchased the P.O.G. flavor which was passion fruit, orange and guava. I love those flavors. They remind me of the POG drinks that are from Hawaii. She also mentioned the maker of the jam had a store down the street, which we also visited. I really loved her store for the variety of items and for supporting her local community by having local items for sale in her store. Prices were reasonable and I feel they were worth it for what we bought. If you are ever visiting Pacifica, I highly recommend checking out this wonderful gift shop. I look forward to visiting again the next time I'm in Pacifica.

It's located near Rockaway beach, a nice area in Pacifica. There are ample parkings in the back of the store. From outside vibes to the indoor decorations with all the tea sets and cute little tables and small mirrors and trinkets on the walls. It reminded me of Bridgeton and Victoria time. I could spend an entire afternoon here looking at all the cute tea set. Because we had our puppy with us, we opted for an outdoor seating which was equally as nice! Large white-and-yellow-striped umbrellas gave us some needed shades as it was a sunny day. Our table was covered with cute table cloth and everything looks neat and clean. We were started with teas first, and each of us got to pick our own tea. My sis picked the Lychee Rose Green as I had my eyes on the Dragon well. Our teas came out fast and were quickly followed by the yummy high tea display. Starting from the bottom, we had Cucumber with Dill Cream Cheese Chicken, Apple, Walnut, Cranberry Salad Cream Cheese with Guava Jam, Pastrami with Cabbage Salad. This was followed by a warm Scone with Clotted Cream & Jam; a toasted Crumpet with butter & Lemon Curd; and a selection from their Sweet Tray! Everything was so delicious and paired so well with our selections of teas! The service was attentive as well as they checked on us frequently and refilled our tea pots when needed. We had a wonderful time here, slowing down and enjoying the smaller things in life :)
