Why 5 stars? Because the owner was one of the nicest people we met in Europe…read more --- --- --- While walking through Munich, my wife noticed this store and quickly darted for the entrance. Both our mom's love crosses and this place might have the largest cross selection in the world. If not, it definitely takes home gold on cross per square foot. We heavily debated for about half an hour on which crosses to bring back home for our parents. The woman, who I can only assume is the owner, could not have been more friendly and patient with us. She was pretty hilarious, as well, as she dealt with our indecision. We eventually decided on a couple and she wrapped them up meticulously. She even gave us a form to fill out to save us some tax money. There were plenty of other cool knick-knacks in here, but we just came to shop through the hundreds of crosses, and we were very happy with our choice to stop in!

TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Never encountered such rude…read morepeople, both of the ladies inside the shop. I was kindly asking a couple of questions and both times I was abruptly interrupted. They misunderstood what I was saying, and didn't even apologise after they finally got what I was asking for. I wanted to buy a couple of gifts, and spend some money, but after multiple rude answers and statements I decided to kindly leave the shop. If you dislike people, don't work in an environment where you, guess what... talk with people. I suggest watching a YouTube tutorial on "how to smile" or simply take that broom out of your ***. That could help. Merry Christmas

Art supplies galore! Anything drawing/painting-related could probably be found here (or at least…read morefrom a novice's impression) in this seemingly historic location. We wanted to buy a sketching set that we saw online, and out of curiosity, we went to Schachinger to see if they would have it. We were doubtful, but lo and behold, we found the exact sketching set that we wanted. The service was ok. We did get some basic help when we asked, but the person whom we paid to was a tad surly.

Highly recommended for watercolor painting needs! We went…read moreto a few art shops near the hotel but they did not have what I needed for watercolor painting. Happy to find what I needed from this shop! Just 2 blocks from Neuhauser Strasse, from the corner of TK Maxx.

Ah yes, kitschy Bavarian gifts!…read more Typically I am quite opposed to gift shops, but this one has a special twist. Nary a drindl or stein, nor mention of any type of beers. It's offbeat. It's colorful. It's not the standard touristy crappola...and your people at home might appreciate that. Surely everything resembles the stereotypical souveniers....but cooler. Mousepads, glockenspiels, racks of fake antlers, sausage sets (fake, obviously), magnets, funny tees (especially for kids), aprons, and the list goes on. Looking for something to truly surprise your significant family, friends, or other...without hauling a stein or shipping some beer? This is your place. Interesting books and paper, cards, stationary and postcards. Including a few guide books on interesting places to check out in the city... A tourist stop surely, but a cute one that stands apart from the rest. I'll be back before I make the voyage home!

I have not shopped at the store yet, but a friend of mine who lives in Germany bought for me the…read moremost incredible felt in a variety of colors so I can use it in my miniature business. That was some 10 years ago. I'm thankful that the business is still going strong and I can count on placing another order for the items I will need. The quality and thickness of the felt I use is outstanding and perfect to use in 1:12th scale. Thank you, Johanna Daimer! I think this time around a trip to Munchen might be warranted. :)

I got some beautiful, unique pieces for home and a few gifts abs they were wrapped with great care by the friendly woman inside who spoke excellent English. Loved it! A bit pricey but not awful compared to other shops I've seen. Location is just as you encounter the old town hall in Marienplatz.
