This store has everything and at great prices ! Almost every item can be bought at big discount so look for the sale signs. They have excellent merchandise and constantly add new and trending items which are perfect for home decorating or gifts . I definitely get more for my money here. Shopping on-line has even better prices and the shipments are fast. My only complaint is I don't have a big enough house for all the cool items I find. read more

I love the stuff at Hobby Lobby. They have such fun stuff and decorations and craft supplies. But I won't shop here anymore. They don't require masks. Their employees don't wear the masks over their noses and sometimes just let them dangle from their chins and the people who shop there are flagrant about not wearing their masks. To get a bag to put my stuff in, the employee licked her finger... before, I would not care. But now, that's just an example of the attitude there. Neither employees or shoppers care about Covid safety... It isn't fun to shop somewhere you feel unsafe - especially when Michaels and Joanne's are at least trying to keep you safe by offering great curbside options and more fidelity to mask-wearing. I went into Hobby Lobby for one thing and I certainly will not be back. read more

Unlike other stores who actually have a return and exchange register, one dedicated to providing good customer service, Holly Lobby in Bakersfield, Ca is more interested in making a profit over providing quality customer service. The sign is useless, as the register is used for ringing up purchases. I stood in line for over 30 minutes behind customers who were intent on purchasing, not returning or exchanging defective merchandise When I said something to the assistant store manager I was told "these people were in line first." For purchasing items yes, but the register is under a large sign that said "returns and exchanges". The assistant managers next statement "leas "purchase on-line." Again, it's impossible to return a defective product on-line. If Holly Lobby expects customers who are returning or exchanging merchandise to stand behind those only purchasing, they need to take down their misleading and useless sign saying "returns and exchanges." read more

Very rude workers. A lady working the cashier just walked away & didn't help us finish paying for our items & I did not get to buy the rest of my items I needed. Hire better & nice people. People that actually want to help their customers. read more

This store has such a great selection and was happy we got one in Bakersfield! But everyone that works here looks like they are completely miserable and no one helps you. I was asked by one worker the other day if she could help me and she is the one worker who has ever offered to help me there. You know, it's a shame for a supposedly "Christian" organization that their employees are so miserable. They must be treating them bad or just not emphasizing customer service. I dunno but it sucks and makes me not want to shop here. read more

I absolutely HATE this place. Only because I always come out spending some money because I find too many good items! Plus if you learn the discount schedule you will know when to buy certain items. They give big discounts on damaged items. If you are very good with DIY projects a lot of these fixes are extremely easy and worth the purchase. read more

I always forget about Hobby Lobby when I am looking for holiday decor..... but once I remember, I am always glad I did! Recently went this weekend to look for some Halloween & fall decor. The amount of items available is always a little overwhelming when you first walk in, but they have it nicely organized so it is easy to find what you are looking for plus some things you didn't know you needed! Staff is always very friendly and helpful when you have questions and/or are checking out. Once again, I left extremely happy and felt like I had walked away with amazing deals! I always think to myself, I can't believe I got all of that for only that! I am really excited to go back for Christmas because that is always my favorite holiday to decorate for. Hint: make sure you always google "hobby lobby coupons" on your phone, they always have a coupon available! read more

Hobby Lobby - One of the fun things I purchased-- with my 40% off coupon! - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

Store is a great place to shop with a lot of good items. Only thing is they need to work on management and customer service. There was only one cashier while the line was 6 people long and employees and supervisors just stood there and took them almost 10 minutes to call in other cashiers. My cashier didn't greet me and when she scanned my items, which were delicate, she scanned them and put them in a plastic bag in a rough manner. Hopefully they do better next time around. read more

I love shopping here because I get the supplies I need for my small business i run one of your employees not sure if it was a manager but he told another guy that was Hispanic that was stealing and to follow me in the store little did that man know that he was talking right there in front of my employee I didn't see her text message until I after I have left the store telling me that the man was following me down the paint aisle if your employee keeps harassing me I will file a lawsuit for harassment I don't need to steal I make twice the money then your workers do what am I supposed to still a bunch of items in a small little Gucci box bag I don't need to steal that's not in my category read more

I went to Hobby Lobby and found a beautiful hardwood frame for a certificate. It would have been $40+ at another store or Michael's. I brought it to the cash register and noticed the price was only $12.99! Then the cashier told me it was 50% off! So it was $6.50! Their prices are so reasonable its better than shoplifting! There are so many items that are unique, it has an extensive range of decor, art and other items, it is almost an exhaustive selection in one store. The help is friendly helpful and cheerful! Imagine that! read more

This store is gigantic. For its enormity, the store is quite well organized. There was no clutter, and the store was clean. Staff was helpful. It would taken me a very very long time to find what I was sent to get if I did not have an employees help. Not really my kind of store, though. I did not know that Hobby Lobby is comparable to a Michael's or JoAnns store. If I was into arts and crafts, then I would be a fan. Since I am not, I feel they are A-OK. read more

I'm torn on this place. I love the fact that parking is super easy and they have tons of products for crafting and decorating. However, every time we go here we witness some sort of awkward interaction. Most recently, we arrived about 15 minutes before closing. The manager literally shut the front door on us and locked us out, then proceeded to tell us that they were closing in 15 minutes, so he's locking up and we shouldn't come in unless we can make it quick. We reassured him that we were coming for 2 items and we knew exactly what we wanted, so he told us we could come in the exit doors. We knew where the paint was. Check. Then we start looking for a specialty item and ask 3 different associates before being sent to the right spot. Then we are in line and hear the manager making awkward comments to customers. He just seemed like he was really trying to convey he has all this "power" as the manager. It just made us uncomfortable. read more

Extremely rude customer service. I asked for help finding a cookie jar or piggy bank for a breast cancer awareness project and was told I could " put money in anything so just look around". They acted as if I had interrupted their conversation, and as I walked away I realized I did as the older (blonde/grey, little makeup) huffed and continued negatively talking about another associate. When I went to pay the girl didn't say anything to me, just rung me up and asked for money. When I went to hand it to her she was dozing off into space not paying atttuntil I said " here". I absolutely love hobby lobby. And I will be going back. But I'm going to treat every single associate the exact same way they treated me. Maybe even worse because fuck you guys. Y'all are shit people. read more

We went to Hobby Lobby where we weren't greeted in any way at all. When I approached an associate for help I was greeted with an ugly look, like I was bothering her, an ugly tone of voice to go with the ugly facial expressions. If that weren't bad enough, when I went to used the Lady's room it was absolutely filthy!!! There is NO excuse for either of these situations. I even took pics to accompany this review I was that disgusted. read more

This place has a ton of stuff! When you first walk in you see lots of glass decor and aisles and aisles of faux flowers. They have a huge selection of antiqued decor yet they have much of the typical DIY hobby craft supplies you'd find say at Michael's I can't say the prices are competitive as much is not but if you look around you can find some good bargains. Currently the store has a big seasonal selection of Christmas Decor, I'm excited to see what they will fill that huge section up with once the holidays have passed. Dust, dust, dusty. read more

Awesome store! Beautiful decoration items for the home, office or for the shop. They have by far the most amazing religious decor I've seeing in town and you can always rest assured that they'll have some type of sale going up to 50% off and more on clearance items.

Just wasted an hour of my life with the WORST customer service. Should have known when I walked in and the women working there all seemed unhappy. Not a smile, not a greeting, nothing. When I asked about a product, I got a finger pointing in a direction and that was it. When I finally get to the register, there were only two cashiers. One worker made a customer walk to the product shelf to show her a sign that stated a discount. Afterwards, she just walked away. The lady in front of me flagged her down and asked if she could get another register open since there was six people in each line and she said "there's two registers open". I spent an hour finding just the right stuff and I left it there. I can't give a business money that treats its customers with disrespect. read more

I was a little disappointed the last time I visited this place, ok maybe a lot disappointed. I'm on crutches, and when I came in I didn't see a motorized cart that I could drive around the store. It was no where to be found. No sales associate offered to help me, not even to my car. An elderly costumer offered to help me. I will say they had a whole bunch of registers open that day, it was busy! The store was clean and organized and they had a mad sale going on! 50% off all Christmas decor. I will go back to this place, I can't lie, there's too much cute stuff! read more

There is a lot of interesting stuff here, but it is pricey. I am sure you will find something you didn't no you wanted . But it will cost . It's worth a trip out there just too look around. read more

1 star is 1 star too many. I made an extra trip across trip tonight to simply return the $5 tape I no longer needed. As per usual, there were few registers open, and the lines were very long. I got in line and waiting to make my return. The first issue of the night was when I had been waiting in a long line, when a cashier who I was standing right next to, open up another register. Instead of assisting customers who had already waiting, people who hadn't even been waiting in long were able to check out before me. Frustrating, I asked to speak with a manager. Manager Christina provided the worst customer experience I have ever had. She came over and was of no assistance. She even felt the need that because I was returning something, I should expect the process to be slow. She was argumentative and had a negative attitude. So much so that customers around us, wanted to speak with another manager THE ONLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCE OF TONIGHT WAS CASHIER DEANA. Unlike Christina, Deana not only provided great customer service, she was truly going above and beyond. Hobby Lobby will no longer be my first choice in craft stores, and will think twice before shopping there ever again. read more

I feel like the longer this place is around the more unorganized it gets.I used to be easy for me to find stuff and now I have to talk to some of the staff they're helpful but this used to be a quick 10 minute grabbing to go but now I find myself taking up to 45 minutes looking for stuff. read more

Hobby Lobby is awesome. People that give this place low ratings are just chronic complainers. Every time I go in there I don't want to leave and I feel like I could keep finding things for this or that. Place is great and people come on and leave negative comments and try to shut a business down like this. They should really think twice we don't have a whole lot of this and Bakersfield. read more

Hobby lobby is a home decorator and crafter oasis. So many things to look at. My favorite part is they have displays so that if you're looking for a theme to go with, you're not running around frantically looking for matching items. Another thing you can count on is they're always having sales. Make sure you have the hobby lobby website saved to your phone though, because most of the time, the employees at the register don't know what's going on. read more

I love hobby lobby!! They literally have anything you are looking for. The 40% off coupon is extremely helpful in saving you money. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because the lines to pay at the register take a while. read more

Hobby Lobby - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Bakersfield, California

They never have enough registers open and it's common to have several hundred people waiting in line, with extra staff wandering around and doing nothing to communicate with customers or manage the lines. They need to get a better system that is fair, like what is used at Michael's or Joann's. If I wasn't trying to stage a house, I'd leave, because I already invested over an hour of time picking things out. I don't feel they value me as a customer when they don't even have their staff trained to communicate with customers who are waiting in line. They walk by, ignore the people in line, and don't make eye contact. Very poor customer service. I even called the store after waiting in line for over 30 minutes and barely moving. The guy who answered the phone just said they had a few people absent, but never really apologized and nothing changed. Finally after about 45 minutes, they called staff up front and someone who looked like a manager went walking by, but she still just said, "Excuse me," and never apologized or addressed us. UPDATE:After waiting in line for about 75 minutes, I'm almost up to the register. I've seen 4-5 people come into work about 30 minutes ago, but nothing has changed. There are still only 4 registers open and the lines are even longer! read more

Workers are so rude I will take my business else where even if I have to pay a little more I went to the yarn section and went to get a roll of yarn and my pinky finger got sliced and the work in the next aisle had no compassion was more into stocking her items to get her job done very slow to help me and gave me a band-aide and was like here she didn't bother to fix the divider she just left it there Where is the customer service & compassion at read more

I can always find something fun & new at Hobby Lobby!!! And the employee are also friendly and helpful!!

I'm not a creative person, well in the sense of arts and craft or decorating so Hobby Lobby didn't have real appeal to me. My wife loves coming here for decorations and my youngest does too especially when working on projects for Science. We have come here quite often but the last two times have been awesome and it is with some of the new paintings they have. Just before Christmas we shopped here for a few things for people but also came across a Marvel Comics painting that we new our older son would adore. Original price was $54.99 but it was half off, come on now you can't beat that type of bargain. My wife also found some decorations for our house that were 50% off at the time too. And if they are not having a sale, they also have an app you can get on your smart phone and they have a coupon for 40% off an item, this always helps save us money. The cleanliness of this store great and the customer service is good too, just sometimes it is hard to find a worker to toss a question at them. One major positive is that they always have numerous cash registers open because the lines do build quickly. Not too shabby even for me, I will be back for some other things, good stuff Hobby Lobby. read more

Love the sticker selection for scrapbooking also!!!! read more

This place is pretty awesome, in my opinion. It's waaaay better than Michael's or Joann's. There is just so much stuff in here, definitely a crafty artsy persons dream store. Just when I figured I would NOT find what I wanted in here I did. I went through the whole entire store row by row just to explore, and somehow I ended up with $92 worth of craft junk in my basket, lol I'm a lil ashamed to say that but it happened. I found that there were some expensive and inexpensive things that I liked, I see myself doing a few projects very soon seeing that they have a lot of How to/Do it yourself items. They also have custom framing in the very back of the store. There's furniture ,home decorations and fashion items also. Really anything you can think of, it's there. Too bad some folks got caught stealing while I was there, shame smh, and right as I was paying at the register the lights to the entire store shut off, for like 2 or 3 minutes. It's still so packed with people inside and with trying to find a parking space, I guess the new smell still hasn't worn off yet so those who don't like crowds should stay away for a few more weeks , it really was a bit annoying being damn near on top of each other, but I'll be back some other time. read more

Went to return an item and the manager freaked out and was so rude. I had a receipt and everything. But because it was from the Lancaster store she didn't want to except it. She said very loud and rudely I will do it this one time only but that's it. The poor girl helping looked at me like she was so embarrassed at how the lady was acting. When the manager walked off the young girl helping kept apologizing saying that the manager was always like that. I told her not to apologize but that manager was a horrible person. Won't ever go back to the location. read more

My favorite store, but tonight I went there and found 3 mirrors. The 3rd one has a big crack and we ask a girl if there's more. She says it, not bothering to scan or checking the computer and says "umm... no. but we can give u a good deal on the broken one. What is this, a yard sale? They shouldn't even have a mirror for sale if it's broken. But I do love this place tho. Have you ever walked down the clearance aisle at Hobby Lobby to check it out? Half the stuff is broken. Who is going to buy broken stuff and put it up on their wall? To me that's just dumb. Donate it to Goodwill or throw it away. Don't charge $50 instead of $100. That clearance aisle always makes me mad every single time. We were going to buy this other thing for Lexi and figured out that both of the horns were broken and that thing was $25. I just shake my head half the time. read more

I think people need to understand that the owner is extremely religious which is why you found no Halloween items. She stated it was a pagan holiday which is funny considering she had no problems sporting Christmas gear, which Christmas is actually a pagan holiday in origin. :) So complaining about no scanners and stuff is kind of silly considering how old-fashioned her thinking appears. ALL of that aside. I found my experience in the store enjoyable, aside from the gobs of obvious non crafters just standing around taking up room, checking out the hype of the new store which was needed. The location is in a good place, it will bring in more people to the dying businesses there. I do agree the desk clerks need to be a bit faster, one woman didn't even know what she was doing while another got through 10customers in 15 minutes while the other was still on the same one. The extensive art collection left me walking up and down the same 2 aisles for 2 hours much to my fiance's annoyance. Teehee. I'm pleased with this store. And if your life is so fast paced that you can't set aside some patience don't go to the store. But I was in line for 10minutes and was out quickly. Don't exaggerate folks :) I thought I'd give my feedback since most of the time people who do these reviews are just angry customers. I'm a happy one. read more

Yesterday was my first trip to Hobby Lobby. I thought it was just for men with model airplanes etc. My son has those hobbies and shops there. I asked my husband to stop at Hobby Lobby after I saw their ad in Sunday's newspaper showing they had home decorations. I walked in and feel in love immediately. OMG I wanted everything. I saw beautiful ceramic mugs and knick knacks and fantastic artwork. It would take you a long time to go through the store as there are so many beautiful displays. They had areas for Easter and Saint Patrick's day and sections with things for a man room. They had gasoline signs and wall hangings for a mans garage. I just kept walking around seeing so many things I wanted. I have to go back alone so I can stay as long as I want. I would have given them five stars except that the line was so long and slow. Finally a lady came and got me and took me to the other side of the store and checked me out. If you are a woman and want to decorate your walls or buy knick knacks to display or beautiful coffee cups this is your store or just walk around and look at beautiful things go here and enjoy yourself. Warning it's dangerous you will probably spend too much money.. read more

This our new go to place for home/lawn decor. Love the ''man cave'' decor with tin signs which is hard to find.

During Christmas time they have a huge selection of tree decor and if you love those red round patty with peanuts candy they sell them here!! read more

Came to check the place out since I've heard of Hobby Lobby being on the east coast and it came to Bakersfield out of all places! Since I'm home for the holidays, drove to where Mervyns used to be and it's next to Burlington Coat Factory too, good area. I went inside feeling weird only because I grew up having only Mervyns in that building, now it's a huge arts and crafts store! I have to agree with other yelpers, the store is like Michael s and Joanns Fabric combined! I got lost easily but i looked around, and the prices seemes decent enough. I didn't bother buying anything though, and I couldn't stand the smell, it seemed like a stronger smell of Home Depot with all that "wood dust" scent but thicker, I felt like I couldve had a asthma attack and there's no ventilation throughout the store. the parKing is not bad, considering it's a hugeb parking lot so there's always parking for you. However, nothing really caught my attention, maybe I'll come back if I'm feeling really crafty, but to me this place was just 'okay'. read more
