I found myself there today and ooh'd and ah'd over the brightly colored flowering plants. I watched a hummingbird sipping nectar from a flouted flower.

This is a very lovely plant store in the Japantown mall. It's not a large store but there's a good…read morevariety of plants along with some really interesting containers for plants. The last time I stopped by I couldn't resist getting an octahedron-shaped container for one of my air plants and also a little plant dude. There are a bunch of cool-looking bonsai trees too but I'm not ready to commit to taking care of one of those. My son and I also enjoy gazing up longingly at the Nepenthes (pitcher plants) that hang from above - they all look very healthy with large pitchers and glossy leaves. Maybe one day we'll get one from here. In the meantime we'll keep checking back.

The store itself isn't huge, so there was limited space to shop. The employees were so kind and warmly welcomed all the customers. I was impressed by the sheer selection of plants in this tiny store.

I had dozens of boxes, and no box cutter! My poodle and I traipsed down the hill to this delightful store. There are so many things to love about Cole Hardware - it's kind of like a Hallmark store meets Ace Hardware. I've had keys copied here AND I've bought a SF-themed deck of cards. I've bought cookie sheets AND light bulbs. I've bought Christmas lights AND cute dishtowels. The customer service here is fantastic, the people who work here are kind, you can ask questions via text, and they give back to the community in both vibes and with give-back programs to support local. Why would you shop anywhere else?

This location is one of the best gardening centers in the whole Bay Area. One of the things I appreciate about them is that they are extremely customer-service-oriented. If something you buy here fails, they will make it right for you. They are not the cheapest garden store to shop in, but everything they stock is top-quality and if it gets sick or dies, they stand behind their products. They also have the most attractive large planters, which is essential if you are in the city. I always have a great experience here. Their staff are super-knowledgeable and helpful but not judgmental at all. Highly recommended!!!

We came in for succulents. The CA native plants in stock didn't look interesting. This time we…read moreended up with several succulents to try in the planter previously planted with lantern plants we bought from Sloat Gardens. Those plants were infected with aphids which we treated but eventually they died. The staff at checkout was initially OK until I looked at my receipt and again, I saw they misspelled my last name and never bothered to correct it even though I had already alerted them twice before. She acted as if I was bothering her (no one in line) as she filled out another green form to submit to the office staff. A few years back, they mixed up my information with another person with the exact same name and that customer received points for the purchases I had made. If anything, I should be the one annoyed they keep goofing up on customer names and info. Better training needed for front line service and back office staff.
