Between the exceptional chocolate and the wonderful hospitality from JP and Xavier, they've made loyal customers out of us. Stop by, say hello, and treat yourself to some incredible chocolate!

Not a lot of Hallmark stores some are in the malls but this is in Pleasanton next to a Safeway…read moreWalgreens and some gas stations. They have lots of inventory and stuff and greeting cards for every holiday and occasion you can imagine. One thing I don't like is you can t return an item at another hallmark store you have to return your purchase the EXACT SAME location you bought it which in this day and age & it's absurd. I was told they are separately owned businesses. The coupon s which come in the emails are frequent and very useful and make you think that they care and come handy when a lot of ornaments are pricy during the Xmas season. Lots of parking , service is friendly and they answer any questions you may have. Lots of keepsakes , Bay Area team merchandise and even Star Wars stuff and wrapping paper too but of course you can get wrapping paper cheaper other places . For the coupon validation they help you find it on your email or ask you for your cell phone number that you registered with. I am a fan of hallmark stores because of the cool items they have. 5/5 Just wish they were more of them. Btw across the street is Phil'z coffee drive thru first on in the SF Bay Area !

This is the Hallmark store on Santa Rita, apparently Trudy's (as of September 2026) despite the…read morename on this listing being something else. It's one of the largest Hallmark shops I've been to. Spaced out nicely, clean and organized, with not too many visitors on a Friday afternoon. I spent a good amount of time exploring the greeting cards in the humor section, as I was looking for a birthday card for a family member. The selection was okay, but I didn't find anything that particularly stood out. I did end up purchasing one that was good enough. Plenty of gift bags to choose from as well. These were basic items I'd expect to find in this store, and I left with what I came for. Service was fast and friendly too.

RAVE MAIN STREET DESIGNS INC. 2196 First St - Downtown…read moreLivermore About 20 years ago, I first discovered Main Street Designs, Inc in downtown Livermore, and I remember being instantly impressed--not just by their beautiful inventory, but by their kindness. Candles, shirts, the cutest belts and shoes you've ever seen--it was all so thoughtfully curated. They even hosted a special event I attended, and I vividly remember someone pouring wine outside. Anyone else remember that? I stopped by again today (I've been in many times over the years and made plenty of purchases), but this visit was especially meaningful. Seeing the third generation involved truly warmed my heart. Sherry and Dennis are absolute Livermore treasures. It's safe to say they may be one of the oldest stores downtown--and certainly one of the most beloved. What made this visit extra special was meeting their granddaughter, Kendell, who was working that day. She is a rare gem. Kendell is a wonderful young person and PHENOMENAL listener. She genuinely cares--something that's hard to find in retail these days. She's truly one of a kind. If you're looking for a cute belt, great shoes, a standout outfit, or the perfect pair of earrings, OR something else, I highly recommend Main Street Designs. It makes me so happy to say that the people who made this place special 20 years ago are still the same--if not even kinder--today.

It's definitely alittle hole in the wall type of deal and feel, if you are looking for a huge variety and selection you best bet is to stop by a more grounded stationary see's candy store. And forgot to mention at the top, but they will be open at this location until Christmas Eve and that's it. Anyways, the selection is varied enough to hopefully maybe get you by..but overall they are pushing box candies, they do offer a handful of loose chocolates or wafers type deals. While it's been a few years since I've been to a see'a candy store, so I wasn't sure what was new or what they offer these days..but they did have a handful of sugar-free chocolates..I opted for the sugar free peanut brittle and might buy the other 2 offerings down the line. The cashier was very friendly and asked if I needed help so bonus on being proactive.

Of course you can get them at Costco, but there's no color guarantee. So off I go. After several attempts and being told no, Matt at PFS agreed to check with his supplier to do what he could. We arranged for me to get them when in town for my personal delivery of these flowers... well close to pick up week we found that the flowers may be reddish and orange. No issues. That will work. He even made a special accommodation so I could get them on a closed day! That's SERVICE! Upon pick up, ready as requested, in a vase and as vibrant and beautiful as you would want them to be! The price was higher, but the results were fantastic and my sister in-law loved them! You're only 80 once! THANK YOU!!!! I would definitely use this florist again and again!
