I could't find any, apparently all of those items aren't yet on their computer but somehow Marie the attendant pulled some from seemingly out of thin air.

This is my second time here and the entire area used to be open to browse but looks like half the store is sectioned off. Nonetheless, there were still a variety of knickknacks and whimsical pieces, such as adorable stationary, cookbooks, funny pet items, stickers, a small selection of clothes, etc, at relatively reasonable prices. I've been to a couple of Therapy stores but this location definitely stands out: there are a lot more diverse options here. As always, I love the local custom items, like this jewelry dish I found that says "someone in San Bruno loves you". Extremely friendly and welcoming service. While I didn't purchase anything this time, I did notice that there were so many delightful baby gift options so I'll definitely be back to get something for a friend who is expecting in a couple months!

Jaya (sorry I might be getting your name wildly incorrect) was super helpful in guiding us through what is available in the store and sharing stories about the artists who've created many of the different items. Everything feels curated by the best tastemakers so all you need to do is walk in and see what you or someone you'd like to get something special for would like. It's obvious many of the books are also carefully and thoughtfully chosen and Jaya confirmed the owners are very intentional about what they include on the store shelves. I ended up buying 4 items of clothes and a wireless little table mushroom lamp. I was tempted by everything else including jewelry and a felt rainbow home decor thing. Money can't buy happiness and it can't replace my dog but these things have brought me some joy and therapy. We live in San Francisco so we're excited for the Mission location in SF as well after experiencing this amazing San Bruno store first!

I know a passive "you're not welcome here" when I see one. If you are not in the mood to be "vetted" to be good enough for their 99 cent party store trinklets and cards, I would pass on this store.

There are also a lot of good cafes and restaurants nearby, plus a Goodwill, so it's easy to make a quick loop out of the trip. The staff are always friendly and greet you right when you walk in. They also have a board next to the entrance that clearly shows the sale colors, so you don't have to guess what's discounted. The inventory is a solid mix too. You'll find everything from more affordable pieces to higher-end items near the counter, which keeps it interesting every time I visit here. One thing I really appreciate is that a good portion of the sales goes the local Humane Society. I love this spot, and you can sometimes catch me here looking for my next treasure find!

The curation here is seriously top-notch -- everything feels intentional, from the journals and travel accessories to the pens, inks, travel lighters, glasses, and paper goods. Prices aren't bargain-bin, but the quality justifies it. The staff are friendly, knowledgeable, and give you space to explore without hovering. It's one of those places where you can easily lose an hour and a paycheck (or two), and somehow still call it self-care. I still may.

Stopping at this mall many times for several years, I frequent a number of stores here. There is…read moresports memorabilia store a few doors north, a bakery that switched brands recently, and a noodle and dumpling restaurant on the other side of the car entrance that passes this store. A friend asked me to get a list of candies for her and, instead of going to the main one in SSF, I happened to be here for lunch on a recent Thursday. It was perfect as I was intending to stop at the main store in SSF so it saved me a side trip there. Getting here a little before 11 am, I was the only customer until a lady walked in to ask for sample. The gal at the counter explained the box sizes to me as I read my friend's list to her. She patiently packed my candies before I picked a couple things for myself (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=_dyB1pfWdkv71U2T3KH3Pw). Besides this, I got a bag of my favorite, dark chocolate California brittle and lollipops (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=T54wfumxWBOGAdd4AT3pQg). As mentioned in my review about the main store, I actually frequented the outlet store on Airport Blvd. before it closed. Size wise, this one is much smaller but it pretty much has everything you'll find there. Thanks to the patient and helpful Julie who helped me through my visit. She even guided me through their buyers' card program and helped me learn that I earned a tote bag if I have a $40 purchase. I will return and definitely come here if in the area and craving their stuff.

They have a fantastic, curated selection where you can truly get lost in the stacks. I rarely leave without finding one or two obscure titles that feel like once-in-a-lifetime finds. What I appreciate most is the atmosphere: the owner and staff are incredibly knowledgeable if you have a question, but they truly respect the "browser's right" to wander in peace. No hard sell, no hovering--just a quiet, welcoming space to discover your next favorite book. It's the kind of local shop that makes a community better.
