This hobby isn't like the Hobby Lobby. I'm used to back in LA and so it was quite difficult to fall in love with this one, particularly because I visited during the holidays, and there wasn't much stock quite frankly, and so it just kind of like disappointed me in the sunset. I have to probably travel to another Hobby lobby that it's a little bit more out of my way with more population surrounding it and so I'll probably run into the same issue. Parking is great in this location. I believe this Hobby Lobby is added as an adjunct to a mall or a shopping center in Hemet. I do wanna say I've been to the one in Moreno Valley and I do think that that one by far out weighs this one, but I may be biased because of the location where it's at read more

Hobby Lobby - Hobby Shops Near Me - Hemet, California

I'm surer happy to report that they are finally carrying some 3d filament at my local store. I've been reading online that they are going to start carrying more 3d printing items and I have been looking and asking every week or so, and today was the day. I picked up 4 of the 5 colors they had, and some other tools. So happy. Other than that, this place will drain my wallet, so much stuff to buy. Always love to stop in and see what is new. read more

I seem to spend a lot of time here... they change the merchandise weekly... So lots to choose from... outside...seasonal.... Home decor... gifts... floral.... Just about everything you could need.... I've found that different areas have different items too... Parking is always a challenge... so many stores in this particular area. read more

The ONLY Hobby Lobby I really go to! Since Hobby Lobby has a bad reputation for their questionable business practices and social justice standards, I severely limit my visits here. However, a friend of mine had a list of grad gift items so we had to pay this place a visit since Hobby Lobby had the artist items on her Grad wish list. Per usual, the staff is super friendly and the lady at the extra register near the mall entrance was super helpful and kind! At the regular, main entrance there's a lot of registers and lines are kept at a moderate level. I love that Hobby Lobby has toys, baking items, Funko merch, art supplies, decor and so much more! It just sucks that this company is alt-right. The store is pretty organized and I find exactly what I need every time I have to visit! There's plenty of parking out front! Oh and Hemet's Hobby Lobby is one of the LAST thriving stores at the Hemet Mall. It's understandable as you can find some solid deals here. read more

I had a wonderful experience at the Hobby Lobby in Hemet. An employee by the name of Alfredo has excellent customer service. He was very helpful by showing me various items to help me decide which item would be best to buy for a project. He was very polite and patient. Great job Hobby Lobby on hiring Alfredo. read more

My experience at hobby lobby was terrible. I asked for where the stickers were, I asked for an employee to help me but she was extremely rude. They need better customer service, luckily this is the only hobby lobby in town. I expected better. read more

During the holiday season they really should hire more staff. The wait to pay is ridiculous.

Excellent customer service every time I visit here! Prices are VERY reasonable on everything they offer and merchandise is of great quality. I especially like to shop for Bibles at this location; they offer lovely gift quality tomes at extremely affordable prices! My only wish is that they would make room for an expanded book section. read more

I called earlier in the day to find out if they had the 3 Ring binder Pencil Pouch listed on the Internet. I was put on hold and the gentleman said "yes" we have some. That afternoon I went to the Hemet store; asked employee who was stocking shelf where to find 3 Ring Binder. He said section where pencils and papers were-pointing me in a direction. I went to the area he pointed and found other types of pencil bags, not the one in the advertisement. I selected a few pencil holder bags. When I got to the cashier; she said these were not on sale. She paged an employee; he came up with a one page "ad" and said "no, the ones on sale are called Masters Touch. Again, I was directed to another section of the store. I didn't find the advertised bags on any shelves. I had to be somewhere else and couldn't look further. I ended up buying pencil bags-not of my liking. I believe this store personnel is incompetent. They don't want to help customers unless it is a high ticket item. I would never recommend this store to anyone. read more

I have decided to rate each hobby lobby I've been to in the State of California when it comes to finding the best deals: -- Firstly I want to add, they have a restroom. In fact, I never knew they had one after the years being here. If memory served me right they never had one.. that or I'm mistaking them with another hobby lobby and it might be a warehouse room. -- Now to the actual review itself. During Covid-19 the prices of air foam clay was 12.99.. I want you to realize I bought this clay at the bulk.. I bought in the bulk even when the prices were 12.99. In fact in 2020.. this was the first hobby lobby I bought materials from after having an epiphany, a eureka. -- From my memory, the leather at this location is normally priced. However, its air foam is the least expensive. I would also like to say that Faux Fur had decreased in price in this store, but I believe it is a standard price drop that is universal. Their chains are still 9.99 in this store (the ribbon section).. I am sure other items are cheaper that I don't talk about here.. This store is convenient for me because it's the closest one second to Banning and third being Temecula. Compared to Mira Mesa's Hobby Lobby, the leather at San Jacinto/Hemet is expensive. When I start making reviews about Mira Mesa's Hobby Lobby it may shock you... as it surprised me when I make trips all over the state of California.. the deals there were mind breaking. It made me realize a tough reality over the years. This means, San Jacinto, Temecula, Banning, and other areas in Oceanside may have similar prices; but may have certain huge deal drops that nobody knows about. Mira Mesa.. is one that is the cheapest. -- When it comes to service for this Hobby Lobby, I am starting to believe that management has changed. (I never interacted nor spoke with them, but it's an observation from 2018-2024) ... if anything, majority of the staff are new, with some who remained as the veterans of the hobby lobby. Also keep in mind that apparently each Hobby Lobby I've been to reflects their own culture/society regardless of Hobby Lobby's ideology. There are reasons why prices are the way they are and it reflects the location, the niche, and demographic aside from the fact "we need to sell this material now".. my theory is, the more they have of something and it sells a lot, they will sell it for cheap OR the product becomes old because not enough people buy it; such as certain cheap cosplay paints that they no longer sell. Every hobby lobby I've been to has stopped selling certain items. So you will notice this right away. -- So I advise you to purchase the expired stuff, as it can be refurbished if you understand basic color theory. -- read more

My Mom wanted to stop by Hobby Lobby to see about getting a picture reframed. First I've got to mention how huge this store is! It's just in little ole Hemet, but not only is it huge, it's got all manner of things for crafts. We were directed to the back of the store where the frames were located. Rang the bell and out comes Madison. She is amazing, took a quick look at the broken frame and said she could repair it and fix it up with new glass. Within 15 minutes tops, she had the frame apart, put in new hardware, the glass, cleaned everything and put it back together just like new. My Mom is so happy with it as it's a very sentimental photo she can now rehang and enjoy. read more

Normally they have very good customer service but on Friday, May 27, 2022 at 10:19am the service was horrible. Long lines and finally the person who appeared to be a front end manager called someone to check. But the checkstand they opened was way over by the mall entrance and I am handicapped. The young girl who appeared to be a manager had very long fingernails and she just stood at the front end doing nothing. Why couldn't she open another register? I was a grocery store manager and many times I was in the checkstand helping out until the rush was over. If your front end service continues to be sub par, you won't stay in business very long..., The store is neat, clean, and orderly but front end service needs improvement read more

This is a business that stands on faith and is closed on Sundays, carries random reasonably priced merchandise. But this Hemet location is run like a dollar store. They follow you around which is creepy and they announce over the loud speaker for loss prevention to scan a section. So if your in that section...You know they are pointing at you or it sure seems like it. This is a very uncomfortable shopping experience. Where I would normally buy multiple items, when I shop at this one I run in and run out read more

Been in this store for years and spend A LOT OF MONEY here but today as I was browsing through the aisle an employee named DYLAN accused me of trespassing and that this was my second warning before security comes to kick me out of theyir store. Now mind you I've never been accused of trespassing or shoplifting before and I got so visibly upset that I had to compose my self before going back to the store to talk to a manager. This store needs good employee training on dealing with this type of situations. They've lost a customer who spends a lot of money in their store. DYLAN used to be a manager there but got demoted! read more

Today May 3rd, my father who is a veteran asked me to take him to Hobby Lobby in Hemet . I couldn't believe what happen. He started doing Shadow Box and was excited to go to the frame dept. With memorial day coming up he wanted to also frame a beautiful battalion group photo. I can never get him out of the house. I went shopping in the mall. A few minutes later he found me,said framing was closed. I never heard of this!!He showed me this picture. So that spoiled it for him! I found out that this should of never happened after a phone call to corporate. Well, I didn't call the store because it was "Truck Day" and I didn't want to waste that call. So this brought my 1 star rating. Clearly there's some laziness and the customer isn't important anymore! read more

They are opening one of these stores in Moreno Valley. So when I saw that there was one by the Pollys Pies where I was meeting a friend for lunch I decided to check it out. Boy was I glad I did. This store is amazing. I will be moving sometime this year and will most definitely be coming here to buy things for my place. From wall fixtures to crafting stuff. Big store. My kinda store. read more

This is a great Hobby Lobby! It is very large and extremely clean. Our cashier Marlene was very sweet and extremely helpful. The staff has a good knowledge of where their products are. I love their Cricut section! The candy section needs more LorAnn flavors but they have the basics. I was very happy with the customer service here. Thanks for a great experience at my favorite store! I wish there were more classes available, but the can only offer what people agree to do. Currently they have a quilting class on Friday mornings at 9:00am. I may have to check that out. I have always wanted to make one. Mary is the facilitator for the quilting class. The price is $25.00 per project, how fast or slow you are makes no difference. This class is for beginners but they use sewing machines, it is not done by hand. I guess I know what I want for Christmas . Time to start price checking sewing machines, I have always wanted one anyway! read more

I've never been so shocked at how an employee talked to a customer. I was returning items and there were 4 plates I had. The cashier that I purchased my items from apparently didn't scan the plates. They weren't on the receipt. So, Jose said he would give me credit. I said, the lady wrapped them up. He said he wasn't accusing me of anything but they were giving me "free money". He began to raise his voice, IN the store. I told his to shh because it was weird and embarrassing and I did the down motion with my hand. He got pissy and raised his voice again. I told them I didn't want "free money" and they can just have the plates. So, they got their plates back. Jose was out of line. I spoke to the manager, and you know how that goes, nothing will likely be said. I will most definitely be contacting corporate in regards to Jose's attitude and shocking behavior. I was shaking. I will no longer be going to the Hobby Lobby in Hemet. I hope Jose gets himself in check and no one else has to deal with him. It's not fun to walk out of a store shaking. Good job Jose. read more

They have a wheelchair with an attached basket for guests to use. Great customer service as well.

Been shopping here since they opened. Great place for home décor items, we've decorated our house with quite a few items from here. I always find it easier to pick up a last minute gift here as well. Don't buy too much in their paper crafting section, which is my hobby, just prefer the selection at Michael's. Always good holiday décor selections, except Halloween that's just downright pitiful, but the rest of the holidays I can always find good items. Employees were friendly and helpful, anytime I've needed assistance. Good place to kill some time, there is tons of things to browse. Have gotten some pretty good ideas just walking around for no specific reason. I'm bummed they're closed on Sunday, but I think it's great that they do it. Would recommend this place. read more

I had the best customer service from Casey the manager! She took care of a crappy situation and showed phenomenal customer service! Thank You Casey and Alecia you both are amazing! read more

Went to this specific store again very rude staff follow you around can't shop in peace discriminating they shouldn't even be in business its sad but I would not ever buy anything else from a Hobby Lobby store again you lost a good customer., you need to train your employees more better before you guys end up in a lawsuit you can't pick and choose a customer and if that's the case you shouldn't be in business. read more

Theresa in fabrics is always so helpful friendly. I enjoy Hobby lobby good selection. Good prices.

Hobby Lobby is heaven on earth!! HL, in my opinion, trumps any other craft store out there. Their deals are absolutely unbeatable! With 50% deals on several of their items all year round. I love to stock up on holiday decor, as those seem to be on sale very early in the season. If you haven't been here yet, you need to! It isn't just a place for glue guns and fabrics, but some of the most beautiful home decor and furniture I've ever seen. I could easily furnish my entire home from HL alone. The next time you visit, make sure you pull up the coupon Hobby Lobby offers on their mobile site! 40% off any one regular priced item. The only reason I give this particular HL 4/5 stars is because they don't have the card and wrapping paper section. read more

This place is addicting!!! I have to stay away from this place just bc I'll go broke haha.

Overpriced on most items. You have to wait for their sales, or use a coupon, otherwise their "regular price" is outrageous. Fabrics are way better priced at Walmart. Like half. They have a Great selection here, but believe me, it's cheaper to buy what you want, than to make it I read more

I had a great experience with my checkout! Marlene was my cashier and she made my experience quick and easy! I highly recommend this store, as it has all my needs! read more

I originally ally went there to check out some yarn and quickly got sucked in. They have everything! Furnishings, DIY , paper crafts, seasonal items, you name it. I am just in love with this store. read more

A bit different than your other "hobby" shops in town. You get a super Christian vibe. I know the history of the company and it's founder's, so I understand. The selections and decor are phenomenal. There's knowledgeable staff around to assist you. Although you might have to search for them, at times. I could ( and have) spent hours wondering around and checking all the cool stuff in the store. My daughters and I love exploring here. read more
