Very helpful!! Although, a little disappointed in how much they filled the helium balloons. Smaller than what you usually think how much a latex balloon would be filled. I like this location! Find things all the time with being out of stock! read more

The first time I've ever been greeted as I walked into a Michael's. That was nice. It's a large store, with the usual everything you need for knic knac crafting. Good service. The parking lot is treacherous. Someone tried to squeeze way too many spots into available land. The neutral driving space is dangerously cramped with not enough space for safe walking. read more

I had a challenging return and Alex along with Denise's help handled it beautifully, and all with a laugh and a smile. You are both wonderful representatives for your brand ! This is a really nice store, always tidy and well stocked with current merchandise. My absolute go to when in the North Bay. Happy Holidays! read more

I was so pleased with your person in the framing dept. she helped me get my picture into a frame. It was a special picture I made of my sister that had passed. read more

The fun part of standing at the framing department for nearly 90 minutes is being asked if I could come back tomorrow since the person who couldn't work the register had to take a lunch break. I used to be sad when these places went out of business but this one deserves it. read more

Michael's is your go to for craft supplies. I don't know it just seems to be kind of junkie now. I still go. The employees are helpful.

This store closes whenever they feel like it. I got there 20 mins before closing, they already had the doors locked, and after I showed them we still had 20 mins to shop, via the writing on the door, the manager let us in. Very poorly run store read more

What a horrible experience. I went to Michael's tonight after finding the exact item I needed on their website. The site said they had plenty of what I was looking for at my location. I walked in and asked a young man at the registers, who was busy shining the scanning gun around on himself and other things, where the item was. He radioed for someone who said where it was - but it wasn't. I pulled out my phone and searched again and found the aisle listed - where the item also wasn't. I found a clerk stocking shelves. I showed her my phone including a picture of the item and asked her if she knew where the item was. Her response was a simple, flat "No" and she looked away and continued stocking shelves. I did, on my own, find a substitute that may work only to find that I had to ring myself up while scanner boy continued to experiment. If Michael's doesn't want business, they should just lock the doors. Pathetic. read more

The employee who checked us out wouldn't apply a teacher's discount. She said "We don't really know how it works. The system decides. Sometimes it applies, sometimes it doesn't..." I guess they just apply it when they feel like it? It is also difficult to find an employee to ask a question. I can't imagine this store or the brand in general will be in business in 5 years time. It's old, dreary, and vulnerable to online. read more

Where else can you go to get art supplies, holiday decor, crafting items, frames, baking supplies, etc! So many things in one place, it's great. I love seeing all the holiday decor. They always have a great selection to choose from. Staff is usually on the sales floor eager to assist with items you can't locate or answer questions you have about product, which I appreciate. Great store. read more

The fine arts section is disorganised and frequently out of stock for the items I need (pens, markers, etc.). Their store brand, Artist Loft, is replacing a once wide choice of brands and is low quality. This location recently installed self-checkout machines. I politely asked one of the young employees to be checked out by a living person instead of a robot and she became frustrated with me and angrily told me to call Michaels to complain there. She also said that if I didn't want to use a self-checkout in the future, that no other employee would come out to help me. Then she proceeded to help other people behind me who didn't ask for a person either. WOW! It seems they are understaffed or not trained well. I feel devalued as a regular customer to this Michaels. It's sad to see that they don't even value their own employees too because they're replacing them with robots. read more

I'm am always amazed at the various "items" they carry and never disappointed. Service is great.

super disappointing experience here if it wasn't for the lovely young blonde girl on the front checkout at 7.50pm on 7/18 it would have been 0 stars. absolutely rude floor associates. love to hear from a regional or district manager and happy to pass on my comments . message me please read more

I am belatedly, reviewing my last year and Michaels played a big roll in keeping us occupied and safe. I love store pickup. Most of the time I pull up and they bring it to the car in a few minutes. I have often, ordered and picked up a few hours or less, later. The store is tight. So it is always a concern to walk through but, people are paying attention to spacing in lines and respectfully, give one another shopping space, too. I love going to Michaels for One thing, walking around and leaving with all sorts of new projects in my head. The staff is excellent, kind and helpful. This has been taxing on service employees and they still are smiling. Thank you to everyone at this store read more

This place had everything I needed and more. If your doing any sort or crafts at all this is the place to go. So many options and the employees are super friendly read more

Michaels - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Petaluma, California

We recently had my daughter's birthday in the party room at Michaels in Petaluma. The whole experience was excellent and exceeded my expectations! A big shout out to the wonderful staff members Mitchell and Moana who really went over and above to make the birthday party special and to lead the craft activities and help out with the smooth-running of the party. They had decorated the party room really nicely with balloons etc. They asked about my daughter's interests (in advance) and had printed out some Pokemon coloring and puzzle sheets so that kids who didn't want to do every craft activity could do their own thing. When we arrived, the staff had done a big chalk-drawn personal Happy Birthday message outside the entrance to the store to mark my kids birthday. And they even presented her with a gift from the store. It was especially convenient that for $50 you can have 3 pizzas delivered from Dominos and all the napkins, plates, forks, cups and party hats came included in the package which made it super easy to organize. Thank you Michaels Petaluma for a great party experience! read more

Every time I go here they are closed early. The employees lock the doors well before 9 and then don't let you in. It's infuriating.

Good resource for all things arts and crafts. They even have a good selection of vinyl cutting supplies and cutting machine parts. The only problem with this store is the inventory. It looks as if the store hasn't been re-stocked since it was first opened which makes it a good possibility that you will return empty handed as they will most likely be out of the color/shape/size you are looking for. read more

I should have read the Yelp reviews before doing a curbside pick up. Called the store to ask questions about the frame I wish to purchase. After confirming the product specs with employee, I ordered online and picked up the product curbside the next day. The frame have scratches and cracks and also not what they described to it to be so I went inside the store to return and they couldn't issue me a credit. They said something about the bar code that can't be scanned. They tried to do it manually and claimed it wasn't working either. After over 15 minutes at the store, I accepted the store credit they offered me. This store needs to be reported to the consumer bureau for not issuing credits on damaged items that have receipts and obviously not used yet. I don't think I'm coming back to this store ever. read more

Don't do curbside pickup here. Takes 24hrs if not more. Also won't do returns or exchanges even if you HAVEN'T left the store with the item you pre-purchased. read more

The selection is pretty standard fare and they keep the store clean and orderly. I give them 3 stars for the store itself, and the missing starts are because of the our service. They are always short staffed with a line going into the aisles on the weekends. Once you get to the registers, the staff members are hardly ever adequately trained to actually use the registers and have to call a manager for help each time. I think this store needs a few more properly trained employees. read more

I rarely come here but when I do, it's a pretty good experience. During my most recent visit, I came here looking for foam board and I got quick assistance from an employee here finding it. The foam boards were a bit too bit for what I needed (light box for photography) unfortunately. Instead of saying "better luck next time" or recommending somewhere else to go, the person assisting me offered to cut it for me back at the frame shop. Whoa! This is unheard of! The store as a whole is pretty organized and help is easy to find. Minus one star for slow check-out line though (only one cashier). read more

Avoid using their UPS!! I found out recently that this store is a UPS access point that helps ship packages. I went to drop off my pre-paid package and two of the employees didn't even know what I was talking about. Once someone figured out where in the store the access point was, processing the shipment was a whole other story. I figured it was a new service so I tried to be patient. I got a receipt they processed my shipment. Three days later and my UPS tracker is showing that the package was never picked up and is still sitting at this Michaels. I called the location and told them I was trying to see if my package got picked up, I got put on hold for 10 minutes. When someone picked up they had me repeat my whole story again. Then she confirmed "I don't know. I'm not sure. Oh yeah I remember seeing that. I'll make sure it gets picked up by UPS today". I checked the tracking after they closed and it still hasn't been picked up. Now I've had to open a claim with UPS and I'm out on my $$$ since the package is a return. read more

Have noticed a increase in people not wearing mask while shopping at this Michaels. Michael's is visited by families with young children who cannot be vaccinated . Please have your employees remind patrons about indoor mask mandate. If staff do not want to confront shoppers then a general announcement over head will be a gentle reminder. Let's keep our everyone safe especially our children. read more

Worst customer service! They don't have anyone working the floor anymore and the cashiers are slow as hell. This store was so much better a while ago and I will start looking in other places for my craft needs. read more

It's where we need to go for crafting supplies here in Marin - or JoAnn's. The people who work there are nice. They seem either overwhelmed, untrained or the building and company somehow drains the life out of the place. But they do carry decent supplies with crazy sales. Could they make it more inviting somehow? Change the lighting, diffuse essential oils to disperse the artificial scents. Warm it up and I'll be there more. Otherwise, have patience, be nice and expect it to be like a warehouse. read more

It has been a long time since I have felt the need to leave a review... but the day has come. I went to Michael's in the hope of finding something (last minute) for Father's Day, but unfortunately, my mind decided to not be so creative in that moment...soooooo my cousin and I decided to leave and at the last minute found some canvas. We got in a pretty decently long line and waited our turn. When we were at the front of the line we got distracted by the candy and the lady at the cash register in a rude tone called out 'NEXT'. We head to the register and I cannot describe this woman as anything other than unappealing. I regret not giving her an attitude and not saying anything. As were standing there in front of her she takes her personal cell phone out of her pocket and then looks at her text messages. She didn't even try to hide it. I am just so sad by her quite awful customer service and how she reflected so poorly on the store. I'm gonna call her out too! Her name is Elizabeth and she looked to be 40+, she had brown hair and just looked like she didn't want to be there. I hope someone from Michael's reads this and they talk to that woman. Contact me, I'll point her out! read more

Place is fine to go to. It's has so much stuff its a little overwhelming. The line is slow. But they have an a great selection if normal everyday c wrap that one needs. Prices are very fair. The help is there to. Oh yeah. The framing shop us really on top of it. read more

I only wish I could give a zero. Worst Michael's store. Employees need major training and customer skills. You can never find anyone to help you, and even if you do, they don't know. I only use curbside pickup now. Corporate office needs to take a very good look at the Petaluma store! read more

I am giving a one because you cannot give a zero. I had a very negative experience with the custom frame dept. The worker, Jasmine, was helping a difficult customer with framing. I was waiting to have matting cut. After 20 minutes he finally asked what I needed, I told him. He stated that it would cost $5, I told him it was done free last time...at this he rolled his eyes and demanded who did this. He then went back to helping the other person...it only takes 3 minutes to make the cuts. After another 20 minutes of waiting I got the on duty manager Jessica. She was basically useless in the situation. At this point Jasmine made a snotty comment that custom framing takes time. I was done and left. These two need serious retraining. I will never be going into that store again. read more

Every time I leave Michael's I tell myself "never again", but always end up going back from the lure of a framing sale or coupon. First off the customer service here is awful! I have yet to come across ANYONE who knows what they are talking about. Typical people working here lazily roam the aisles in their aprons, avoiding eye contact, with customers. When the registers back up they disappear, leaving one lone soul begging for help over the intercom. There is rarely anyone in the framing department. First you have to walk to the back, wait a few for someone to appear, once they don't, wait in the long check out line, walk back, hear a page for help in framing 5 minutes later, and after another good 10-15 minutes wait, a put out employee resurrects from the break room. I have no idea how this place stays in business. read more

Very well organized, everything I needed I found within 5 minutes, decent prices, friendly staff. Keep an eye out for weekly coupons in the newspaper. If you don't have one, sometimes just ask and they'll give you the discount anyway (or have an extra one lying around). read more

This store is a let down. Perhaps there aren't a lot of crafty people in Petaluma. The staff doesn't seem to know what they carry nor are they pleasant in any way shape or form. Ok selection of yarn (I typically find dye lots that have sold out of other places here - so good if you need an extra skin to complete a project) not my favorite place to shop tho - read more

Do not order here for curbside pickup. You will not be able to pick up the same day. 2 days have passed so far and zero update on order when I call! read more

I used to hate Michaels with an unbridled passion. Growing up, every Michaels we went to was a hellish nightmare of fake flowers, glitter and crappy birdhouses. Don't get me wrong, this place has fake flowers, glitter, and crappy birdhouses. But there's so much more. It's well organized and clean, the workers are helpful but unobtrusive (not being everpresent as gnats or totally unavailable). I appreciate their selection in a lot of areas, they frequently have sales, and they have a military discount. We spent about an hour there tonight and the experience was pretty much stress-free, which I value highly (especially at a Michaels!) read more

Ordered online/-was told items were in stock. Arrived to pick up--15 mile drive. Only had half the order. "You'll get credit". No apology. Terrible service! read more

I like Michael's, they are a good place to shop for last minute art supplies. This location however is not good for painters, go to the Santa Rosa one instead. read more

Went in to Michaels this morning and found the store very neat and well organized. Purchased some black box frames. They were $29.99 for a package of 3. On sale for $15.00 but when I approached the check out, I was told they were not on sale. Only regular frames were on sale for $15.00 We went back and checked out the price. Turns out the box frames were not on sale; However, it was quite confusing and was not made clear to the customer {I didn't think} She gave them to me at the sale price. Now, how nice was that? She was extremely friendly, very sociable and she made my day! She was great! I will definitely go back and shop again! Nice to know that their top priority is the customer! read more

Great store, very clean and excellent staff. Management on the floor helping customer and answering questions with lots of smile. The manager presence on floor helps ease of searching for stuff. The store manager Maria asked me few times if I need any help and she was very helpful and greeted me at the front entrance. Excellent experience. read more

This is a satisfactory Michaels store. I stopped in here to buy cardstock for some baby shower invitations and I was pleased to find it on sale. I just wish they sold it in reams of one color and not the variety pack. You'd think with such a large scrapbooking section they would have a bigger selection of solid-color cardstock but they don't. The woman at the register was friendly. There is another Michaels store closer to my home but I would return to this one if I was in the area. read more
