They really take the stress out of the adult shopping experience. I appreciate the staff here, and the vibes are indeed good.

I've been going to Good Vibes (Mission location) since they had mail in catalogs back in the 90s. The selection still remains plentiful and quirky, while still high quality and of value. A few of the staff, however, don't even know their product basics read more

Heterophobic owner and manager. Very condescending and rude They actually sold me a man's device even though I explicated stated it was for a female. When I tried to return it 4 hrs later (unipened) they refused!!! I'd recommend Secrets on Kearny - very helpful to a hetero adult toy novice read more

Great store and customer service. When communicated to one of the employees that the hours were incorrect (the 3:30-4:30 closure isn't showing on Apple Maps), they said there's nothing they could do about that. Note to the owners - updating your hours can help avoid disappointed customers. read more

Service is friendly (mostly). There is a huge selection of items. Price little much but still good plo read more

Who doesn't need some good vibrations? Cmon, people! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy New 2024 Year! May this coming year bring us all good, (mind blowing) vibrations! read more

Warning!!! Good vibrations restricted for those that are curious, have toys already or want to try 'em toys now! This is the place for you! Hahaha....And yes, I went in here ...and might I add, with my daughter cause I needed a gift for a friend. My daughter just happened to be with me but shoot, she's an adult! How else did I make her! Bhahaha I also wanted to see what new toys were out and asked some questions. The staff were super nice and open to any questions of my questions as some toys were just strange to me! 0_o They even had gift packages and prices are decent, too! Not sure I should share a photo with you of what I bought! Haha ;-) If you have an open purse, you do have to leave it behind the counter but it's safe. The place was clean, open and organized. This place was right in the same structure as the Fifth & Mission parking garage and just happened to pass it and read the sign. I had to take another look to figure out what kind of store! Haha I recommend this store for those that can handle it.... ;) [14/100] read more

Good Vibrations - Adult Shops Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

The Mission Street location closes between 3:30-4:30pm daily - was there August 2024. Strange closure time. Went out of my way to walk over there and was surprised and disappointed. Have not been in store for several years but usually love it and have a positive experience. read more

I've been a fan of Good Vibrations for many years, and it was fun to check out this location. Good Vibrations excels in their ability to make this type of merchandise approachable, both in terms of their displays and their friendly staff. As with other locations, the displays are pleasant and clean and inviting, and you can touch and turn on most things they sell in the store. There was never any pressure to talk with anyone, though I did overhear the folks working here having very down-to-earth, informative conversations with other customers. Upon purchasing some items, the person ringing up the sale mentioned that there is a no return policy but that one item in particular had a warranty, so be sure to save that material. That was a nice touch! One of the other items I got was defective, so that's a bummer. Also, generally speaking, the prices here are not as competitive as you'd find online, which is common for brick-and-mortar stores these days, but consider the importance of supporting local business, especially one with a solid cause like Good Vibrations. read more

Very chill location with very helpful employees. I've gone during the daytime and in the evening and both times, the store wasn't too crowded or busy. Very satisfied with my purchases. They have some good deals, too! I used the Yelp $10 for $20 promo and also got $10 off another time for filling up my stamp/punch card. read more

Great Adult Store! LOL I came here with my best friend today. She was looking for a Valentine's present for her boyfriend LMFAO. The ladies who were working there were super nice and informative. They let us know right away about all of the store promotions. I guess they even have a museum off of Polk Street haha My friend found a funny suggestive Valentine's Day card for her man. They have all your bachelorette party needs here! They said that they don't have a gift registry but I told them they should make one! It would be in high demand for bachelorette parties or bridal showers! read more

Best customer service ever! "Andresp" was super helpful and informative with making me feel comfortable purchasing a lost product. ( dog? ) Coincidentally, 4 hours later my husband came in to the store to replace this lost item. He mentioned the possible dog bandit story and "Andresp " discreetly knew it was the same family! He was super honest and didn't sell us something we bought several hours before! That type of customer service will have our life time loyalty and we will tell others. In this day and age of a zillion choices...People like "Andresp" will have my business! read more

Good Vibrations Ok...so I need a finishing touch to my outfit. Good Vibrations was the place. Yelp has a special going on....Purchase a $20 Certificate for $10. This did come in handy. The Devil went down to Good Vibrations He was lookin' for a gimmick for his outfit He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind And he was willin' to make a deal I've got this $20 Certificate from Yelp and looking to get a discount.... and boy did the devil look around the whole store. Not a single item to be missed. The store was nice and spacious, very well organized, from party products to leather products to lubricant to books and pleasure toys How can you not enjoy this store. I found my prop. I paid, got my Yelp discount, got a frequent buyer card (it's filled up).... Thank you for the final touch contribution for my Halloween outfit. Rating: Service - 5 stars Product and knowledgeable employee - 5 stars Clean and organized - 5 stars Overall - 5 Stars read more

This place is like a pretty, pretty boy packing a pellet. Disappointing. The selection is standard fare. Lots of vibrators (no! really?) and a few dildos perch on the well lit shelves. Someone obviously took a stab at branching out into the kink market and failed miserably. A couple of halfhearted restraint devices and a few butt plugs do not make you a kinky bitch. I didn't like the fact that my perusal of the wares was repeatedly interrupted by Team Androgyny trying to hard sell me overpriced tooth chippers. Ultimately, it's a benign little shop filled with benign little toys for benign little suburban housewives. Hofuckinghum. read more

We were in the area and I saw this store so decided to stop by. The place looked very classy on the outside. The place was very clean inside. There was a good selection of items at a reasonable price. The staff is very professional and helpful. The mood is very comfortable when they are helping you. If you feel uncomfortable walking into these types of stores I recommend this one. This store is really good to try since the staff takes their time and they have great energy. Definitely recommend coming here. read more

Lovely place with very helpful staff. I really like the large selection of condoms and lube. Almost too much of a selection. I like the kinky options. The inventory in this place is basically my bucket list of stuff to try in bed. Love that there are so many different types of handcuffs and restraints. I like that this is a women-run store with sex toys and equipment that actually work. read more

Very disappointed. My wife has been purchasing things from this store for 20 or so years. We bought one item that did not function properly and one thing that broke and tried to return them. We were told we were out of luck on the item that broke. Communication was difficult and frustrating because we were all (properly) wearing masks. They would not give cash or credit for the malfunctioning item but said we could get a replacement. However, they would not accept our word that it malfunctioned and said they needed to check with a manager who was not present. They kept asking questions about the malfunction until my wife got disgusted and left without the item. They may have saved the store $95 but at the cost of losing a long time customer. read more

Everything worked out better than I could have hoped! I was able to stop by both this location, and the Good Vibrations on Valencia! I was able to place a hold on the exact item I was looking for, and received stellar assistance at each location. Before my purchase, Scott was able to answer all of my questions! He was very knowledgeable and helpful. I plan to be back for any and all of my partner and I's needs! read more

I thought this store was actually better than the store on Polk, and here's why: 1. Later hours. 2. Parking. 3. Friendlier staff. They are not as dirt-ay as I can get, but I suppose that this is part of their charm to a lot of people. It's couples friendly, there aren't a bunch of pornos with titles like, "The World's Best Ball Draining Cum DVD XXX" -- instead, it's soft focus, queer friendly, couples oriented, sex positive, etc. The toys are very high quality but the price reflects it. Is it the state's best sex shop? No, the Pleasure Chest in West Hollywood still claims that title. But for female / couple friendly places in the Bay Area, Good Vibes is it. read more

I stopped by here while in the neighborhood today and had a terrible experience. We had our dog with us so they let us know no dogs were allowed which was no big deal, my girlfriend just waited in the front while I went in through their gate. I let my girlfriend know (in front of the staff member) that I would send her a picture if I saw anything I wanted us to get. The first woman that helped me was very nice and asked if I was looking for anything specific and was looking up the item I mentioned. While waiting for her, I took a picture of something I found and wanted to text to my girlfriend who was still waiting in front of the store. Another staff member immediately began yelling at me and continued to yell while I was no longer taking a picture and I tried to tell her I was trying to show my girlfriend that was in front what I wanted to get. Due to her continued yelling, I began to walk out of the store which was gated to get out which I'm pretty sure is a fire hazard and against city code. It's not a big deal to have rules at a store but it's not okay to yell at customers. While leaving the associate yelled something about no pictures due to confidentiality but the picture I took had no other people and was only a close up of a toy. I would have bought what I was looking at had the staff member not yelled at me the way she did. read more

Stopped by looking for a certain item that i have had trouble finding and this place not only had what i was looking for they had a big selection. And it really is a beautiful store. Jennell the store manager was so helpful. And she was very good about hand sanitizer and social distancing. Will go back for sure read more

This store allowed someone to fradulently use my credit card for a $150 purchase. They neglected to check the card against a ID, and assuming they didn't card/age check them. Spoke to store management who admitted they do not check IDs even for large transactions. read more

A clean, fun toy store. Come on in and find something fun to give as a gift or take home to your honey!!

No blacked-out windows. No creepy homeless dudes inside (though if you are looking for that, there are plenty of creepy homeless dudes just a few blocks south). Nope, this is what a shop should be. Clean. Well-lit. Open floor plan. Friendly and courteous staff who are happy to answer your questions about the products (no matter how specific and intimate those questions may be) but are also more than happy to give you your space and let you shop in peace. It's a very sex-positive atmosphere that caters to both the people that know what they want and the people who are reluctant and shy about what they were hoping to find. Product selection is great. Huge selection of all the best brands of vibrators, Lelo, JimmyJane, you name it. They have the best selection of eco-friendly rechargeables I have ever seen. And nearly all their vibrators are body safe, made from non-porous materials. Also a solid selection of insertables, silicone, stainless steel, medical glass, etc. Enormous selection of lubricants. Pretty much every name you can think of, in every size you can think of, from single-use packets to bottles small enough to meet TSA rules to giant-size pump dispensers. Water-based, silicone-based, you'll find it here. And they have tester bottles out of virtually every kind they sell. So you can test it on your fingers and see how it feels, how long it lasts, and whether it gets sticky afterwards. Once again, the knowledgeable staff here is great. They seem to have personally used pretty much every one of them, and can answer any question you feel comfortable asking. Good condom selection, though more geared to single purchases than quantity purchases. And I didn't see Pasante Uniques there, but few shops carry those. They've got a couple displays for the bachelorette party crowd. Novelties and gift bags and the like. A nice selection of books, ranging from techniques to erotica. And an ok selection of BDSM materials. The quality here is a bit off compared to the rest of the store, but it isn't really their focus. I have no doubt you could find most of these items cheaper through the internet, but the premium you are paying for the convenience and customer service is well worth it. Currently they are offering 15% off for the first time you check-in here on Yelp. A solid 4.5 stars, and I am rounding up to 5. :) read more

So I went stopped by Good Vibrations on my trip to SF to see Curren$y. I took the train and the bus to SF, so the bus had to take a detour and I saw all these yummy restaurants, the City Target, etc. We passed Good Vibrations and I was like what! OMG. I have to go there! They did a demo/workshop at our uni a few years ago and nobody went because they were so shy...people would just walk by and scurry away. So after got dropped off I just walked in the general direction of where the bus had driven (again, I have no smartphone), and I found my way. At first I walked passed it...too many people on the street! I walked to a restaurant, and then I doubled back and went in. As soon as I got in I asked if I could check my bag and the staff was like sure! They have matching clothes pins with words on them mine said "Pleasure" :D ***Later on, some ladies came in and a staff member asked them to check their bag. He had to explain it like 2-3 times. He did it in a nice way and even said like "here, your clothes pin "-" :) Kudos to you dude, because you handled that like a boss. Then those girls were kind of scoffing and giving attitude. There is clearly a sign posted, if you don't like it... leave. I always just ask where I can put my bag before I go somewhere. It' not just to protect from theft, but honestly, how can you shop if your hand is full of bags. Duh. Those cows kind of irked me. Anyways...*** So I walk through the store to the back and what I loved the most was that they had all the toys lined up so neatly. AND...there is a tester of each one! So you can feel the texture, vibration, and everything. I've always done my shopping online, so this was very different for me! You can see the size of things, like "That's too big"!!! But even if is, it's still fun to laugh at! :) "How do I turn this off?" "Omg are people going to think"... But nobody really cares what you think, or what you like!!! LOL. Some customers and myself had a few laughs when tying to turn things off. After like 10-15 minutes in the store, there's really nothing to be shy about, it's kind of just like being in the grocery store, shopping for produce. All kinds of couples, older, straight, LGBT, are coming in and everyone was very polite and saying excuse me. I think that stores like this get a very bad rep, but seriously you go inside there's business people in there shopping with their suits on, and the place is very bright and clean and organized. I can't remember the name of the lady who helped me but I asked her tons of questions. The staff is very knowledgeable about everything. Especially toy material-lube interactions. The fun section for me was the lube section because you can test them all out, feel them, taste them, etc. And the body oils too! The gag gift section is fun too, I was tempted to buy a lollipop, but I saved my money for other treats. ; ) Checking out was easy, You get a stamp card for every $10 you spend in the store! Well I've typed too much, and I'm not going to give too much detail on my purchase but I will recommend the RubMe Massage Bars, and Gun Oil. To me, that was the best lube I tested. And I did buy some. :) If you're of age and a tourist, I would definitely stop by. And if you're like me, who has done most of your shopping online, step out of your comfort zone and actually go shop in person. That way, you get EXACTLY what you want. :) P.S. For the people complaining about the prices: It's a store, not a discount warehouse/website, etc. There's actually coupons on Yelp, and their website, twitter, etc. And it was their 36th Birthday Sale when I went. Lelos and all that stay costing over $100-150. Go to any site, the discount price is $99. LOL. Those are the prices everywhere. Same goes for IScream and the Cupcake one. After my visit I thought I could find it cheaper but I couldn't, the prices for some items are set, it's not the store's fault. read more

Well let's say that I'm a little private I'm not like other people who just let their business all out. and let people know what they did with their purchase that they made. first I was kind of embarrassed walk in here cuz everybody was standing on the corner lol! we're all adults here so here's my experience in the store, really cute small clean people very friendly said if you need anything let us know answered a few questions. I was kind of shy to take photos but I did tk a few posted some that I was like oh and gee. while I was in the store oh hell yes I saw a few cute ppl i lik to talk to but im really shy LOL! when I heard a few conversations from a few couples and then they were reading a few the book said like wow maybe we should try a few moves. and then there were a couple young girls in their just looking at all the stuff picking up few things and laughin giggling reading touching just being your young typical girls being silly. it's understandable and boy did I see all kinds of big ones little one different color sizes of dildos different color penis and yes I saw the lipstick one no that's too little for me it would get lost but I did love and I would try the rabbit ears. LMAO condom different colors def sizes black penis seen anal plug really nice smelling candles tie ups wow they hv everything in here at your disposal whatever your pleasure is whatever you want try be adventurous it's all here. You ever come in here there's for stores in sf I'm not sure they're all the same but check this 1 out or if you going valencia street that you are see what you like you never know what you're fine. read more

This is such a PG sex shop to me -_- They're all tiny, limited selection and nothing really mind boggling is sold here. I've been to this one in SOMA, the one in the Mission and the one on Polk street. They are all lame. It's fun to go in and kill time, but of all the times I've been here, I've only made two purchases. I bought my beloved Rabbit vibrator and some non-latex condoms. I'm allergic to latex and these are AMAZING! My vibrator has been a great investment -- almost two years and it's still going strong!! I will say that it drains your batteries after one session...at least I do. Don't come here looking for sexy little slut outfits or hot patent leather body suits, cause you won't find it here! :( If you're into artificially flavored lube and edible body dust, then this is the place for you. Like I said, kiddie shit. +1 star for my vibrator +1 star for their non-latex condoms read more

I was so happy to see a location open up right across the street from my office. I went inside recently to purchase a..."product" :) and was followed in by some douche-bag frat-holes looking to gawk. Immediately they were silenced by the open and well-lit floor plan, noticing that the majority of shoppers were women shooting back menacing glances in their direction. The nice skinny-tie clad employee behind the counter asked them if they needed assistance and they just turned around and bolted. Skinny-tie boy immediately walked over to answer some of my questions, inform me that something that I was looking for had been discontinued and promptly suggested an alternative. That's what I've always loved about Good Vibes. I can shop in an environment where I can get knowledgeable guidance and avoid jerks. Also, the windows are tasteful, non-garish, so that when I exit the store, people walking along the sidewalks don't immediately recognize that I've just exited a sex-shop. Thanks good Vibes* read more

First time here and the staff were super nice and friendly I came here alone one day and i kinda felt like a kid in a candy shop even thought i a young women in my 20's looking for a new toy to play with.The staff who may not be lesbians but what they are are are great gals to talk about what toy your info what they suggest the good the pros and cons about toys. They also have a great reading selection and a great video rental martial to read and inspire. read more

I totally love all the GV stores! They are totally the Williams Sonoma of sex stores, and you know how much I love Williams Sonoma! (Don't you?) They are a clean, friendly, classy, welcoming, sex shop. Great for the dilettante and serious toy addict alike. This little shop is conveniently located by the Moscone Center for the conference-goer in need of some fun. Bonus, they offer discount cards if you present a badge from your conference! I went there twice in one week to pick up some goods... too good a deal to pass up. The store is smaller than some of the other locations, but they still have a great selection. read more

This is a great spot to treat you and your lover to some special treats & toys :). The staff is super helpful and friendly which makes this you feel pretty laid back and not awkward or weird like at other sex-shops. I also love the "Stamp Card" Program they have. It comes in handy when buying lots from this place! read more

Wow! Cor! Good Vibrations has a store located in the high and main street shopping area? On Mission Street?! I have got to check this place out. I heard through the grapevine and on many Yelp! reviews that Good Vibrations had a makeover and they are offering a lot more than the toys. Wow, this one in particular is not like the GV's I have visited back in the day. Cor! Their stores' interiors appear to be inspired by Victoria's Secret and Agent Provocateur. Lingerie?! Check. Les jouets et les poupées de sexe?! Mon dieu! For raunchy lingerie, go here. For classy, VS. For over da top and sass, AP. And for wild, not that I would know, go to those adult stores like L.A.'s Trashy Lingerie and those in the equivalent of a "red light district." There is one in NYC that Gwyneth Paltrow was coming out of when she was snapped by the paparazzi and there is one in London Kate Moss was caught coming out of by the paps . . .I digress . . . Moving right along . . . . I will concur with Liz S. about not being the type to share with others about what they did with their purchase at Good Vibrations. And as for Ann S.'s review, I am just saying: TMI--WTMI!!! And what happened to the device the morning after--talk about bringing new meaning to the classic excuse: "My dog ate my homework." Crikey! (Hope it was good for the dog too.) Now this much I will share: I have visited the locations on Polk Street and Berkeley's University Avenue back in the day when I would purchase tasteful yet somewhat practical shower prizes and gifts when various girlfriends were betrothed to be married. At one hen party/bridal shower, I did get chided for mentioning the title to an Adam and the Ants tune, "Mile High Club" in the same room as The Mother of the Bride. I was talking about the song by one of The Bride's favourite bands from the U.K. (And the irony was The MOB was a psychiatrist; she understood NEEDS--you know what I am saying?!) And her daughter was about to be legally and officially married after all. So what was the big deal?! http://youtu.be/ROLo4kFeLzU And it goes without saying that there were a few saucy and sexy gifts and goodies for the bride from Good Vibrations, and no--I was not responsible for those! And to this day, I do not take responsibility for any gift suggestions for the bride-to-be that were asked of me . . . . That's my story and I am sticking to it. Cheesy yet quite appropo: https://youtu.be/d8rd53WuojE read more

I came into this store because I happened to walk by. The employees are very kind and go out of their way to make you feel comfortable and not judged or embarrassed. The girl that helped me was very patient and demonstrated a lot of different vibrators and explained them all for me. A great place to start exploring! read more

I'm sure everyone would disagree when I say Good Vibrations is nothing special. The things I like: -Speculation about their sex-educated employees. None of whom ever offer any useful insight. At least not to me. I'm sure someone would find this useful. -Being able to touch before you buy. You can touch everything. -I believe they host sex educations courses. Again, I'm sure someone out there would like this and I think it's a good idea. What I don't like: -Expensive stuff. Why would I buy a glass dildo? I'm sure the hardness of it can't be enjoyed, or the heaviness, or the cracks, I'm not looking to buy a glass pipe and see how the colors change with heat. If anyone opposes, let me know why I should spend $100 on it. Quite a couple of crap like that. Some sort of novelty sex shop. -All the lubricants, absolutely all of them, are the same. Swap the label and change the price, does not make it different. -Tricky Groupon deals. Read the fine-print. -You can't use a flogger on your arm cause they get offended?! Okay, you get offended by that but not by the dirty silicone anus flesh-lights? If you are going to let me touch before I buy, the whips should not be an exception. They don't even have to touch my skin. I don't need an entire bondage session. -Some of their toys are not even charged. -As I said above, dirty silicone toys. Overall, everything you find here you can find anywhere else. Have not been impressed with any of my visits the last couple of years. read more

The staff is extremely helpful and friendly. Went in for some items that I don't have much experience with and the staff walked me through the process, what I should be looking for and the best options for how much I was looking to spend. Left the store feeling happy and not embarrassed. read more

I've been here twice. I must say, the staff is SUPER knowledgeable; both about sex and the products that the shop offers. The thing I DON'T like is the "no returns unless it's defective" policy. On my first visit, my bf bought us a small battery operated vibe. The saleswoman assured us that although it didn't SEEM powerful, it was really powerful. (She said since the toys get played with a lot, it was probably dying or something.) We got home, tried it out, and it was a truly pathetic purchase. GV said we couldn't return it, even though we wanted to do store credit. We ended up buying the Magic Wand from there a few weeks later (on a side note: I HIGHLY recommend the Hitachi MW as a must-have for all couples) and loved it...which was ironic, since the original saleswoman pointed us away from that direction, saying we wouldn't like it. All in all, I'm sure I'll return...but next time it will be if I have a Groupon or similar offer, and although the staff is smart, it helps to do research online first. read more

I really like GV and my gf's and I came to this store the first week it opened. The female employee (butch) yelled at us. She thought we were doing something which we weren't. I was upset by that interaction but continued to look around at the products. I said to my gf's and loud enough for her to hear "she could have used a different approach to let us know that." Instead of yelling at us, here's what she could have said "I'm sorry but you can't...." She had horrible customer service! This is a tiny store compared to the one on Valencia St. I'd much rather go there. They have a wider selection of products. And every employee in there greets you and offers help if needed. And they don't watch you like a hawk. I felt so dirty having someone watching my every move while I was browsing. read more

My boyfriend can be a real asshole. Yesterday, as we are entering AT and T Park I see his face light and yells out (like a little girl I might add) "LOOK! It's Amy G!" Ok, my little starstuck bitch boyfriend, number 1, that ho is married and number 2 I am thinking I see no need to buy us any toys or lubes for a while. Selection selection and instruction, you get that all here in one stop shpping. Think Walgreens for the horny bunch. read more

I've been here twice within the last few months and this place is great. The staff are always SO kind and helpful. The layout is organized and logical (my OCD likes this!). Prices are fair in my opinion and the quality of most products is on par. With all sex-toys it is very much a "you get what you pay for" industry and is reflected with Good Vibrations as well. I always buy quality items and am always happy with my choice of doing so. This location is perfect for me. I can hop the L downtown and enjoy a nice lunch and good read, before heading home I swing by... PERFECTO. read more

LOVE THIS STORE! God bless San Francisco for its pro-sex, pro-woman community! I'l keep this short. I misplaced my favorite sex toy, Jimmy Jane Form 2, for those who were wondering. I was devastated. My boyfriend saw my panic, and quickly looked up sex stores nearby. Good Vibrations and super clean, pretty and brightly lit. You don't feel weird or pervy shopping in this space. The staff that I met were awesome! They were all strong and opinionated ladies, who had no problem cheering me on when I expounded on the importance of sexual gratification. If you check in on Yelp - you get a free personal lubricant. You can also purchase a $10 for $20 deal. Great brands - they stock the whole line of Jimmy Jane products and also - Lelo, We Vibe, and Minna. They also offer men's toys as well. For all my Massachusetts peeps- Good Vibrations has a store in Brookline too! read more
