Staples had a good quality, but Blick's were very high quality AND cheaper than Staples. This was the first time that I shopped at this Blick as they recently moved into this former Joann store from their India Street location. While this store is a little more out-of-the-way, it is a wonderful size for Blick, and all on one level. Items are easy to find and nicely displayed, making the store a joy to browse in. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. They also have some fun not-exactly-art things, but fewer books than I remember being at the India store. Lots of easy parking. Helpful service, too.

New location, or should I say relocated from Little Italy…read more High quality products for your arts needs. Greeted once entered the store. Helpful staffs. Not so overpriced. They have a lot to choose from. Parking is somewhat better since you don't have to go into the store for a temporary parking pass like at little Italy, then go back to your car and place the pass on your dashboard and head back to the store. Tight parking spaces now.

You will find everything that you need in every Christmas color. I LOVE IT HERE. The cons were that the checkout lines went to the back of the store...all of them. There were about 6 checkout lines but it was ridiculously packed here. They may need to expand their store into the old Party City Storefront next door to address the customer base and needs. The only other Hobby Lobby Locations in SD County that I know of are La Mesa and Mira Mesa besides this Chula Vista location. We decided to leave and try to come back another day when it was less crowded. Overall this store had so many great things but the lines were taking 35min to 45+mins to checkout. That is a long time standing.

Prices are great! Staff is helpful and friendly most of the time although this time around not so much. Maybe because of the big crowds during the holidays but the lady I stopped to ask a question too was not nice and had a mean face.

This is the only hobby lobby I have been to. I'm a repeat customer. Prices are relatively cheap for…read morewhat you are getting. I do like the variety of crafts and materials and tools available at a single store and not needing to drive around town looking for things in different stores. I have always received good customer service. Some even above and beyond. The only thing I did notice is that for a Saturday afternoon the lines were pretty long. Which I understand since they are closed Sundays. Not sure if they need to open more cashiers to help customers get out the door. But I'm usually not in a hurry when I visit so it hasn't really bothered me. I recommend you stop by for your hobby needs. Chances are you will find it and will get good customer service.

There is a lot of parking out from the store. However, often all of the handicapped parking spaces are taken. The fact that Hobby Lobby does not provide family planning access to healthcare to its employees bothers me and I consider that policy when I am thinking about shopping here

DiamondCore has some of the best pottery/ceramic tools in the business, and what a treat it is to…read morevisit the store in-person! I know potters, whether professionals or hobbyists, who swear by their products from across the world, so when I found out they had a store in San Diego... well, I had to stop by. First of all, the store itself has limited hours. They mostly run their business online, so make sure you check their hours before visiting. They are well-stocked with most of their items, and though there was only one employee, he was so patient with all my questions and willing to check the backstock for any items I wanted to take a look at! There are sample tools and swatches of every item they have, from their famous carving/trimming tools, handle extruders, glaze swatches, and even samples of bisque/finished pieces that have been sanded with their diamond sanding products. They also sell a healthy selection of Aardvark clays (both cone 5 and cone 10 varieties) and offer a discount if you buy more than 50 lbs. I bought 50lbs of clay, a couple of carving tools, and a variety of sanding pads. I wanted to get a set of their diamond sanding discs as well, but they were completely sold out after the holidays. I think I'll be buying those online, but it's really nice to be able to see everything in person before purchasing!
