Great boutique. I always go in and never leave without buying something. Even if its as little as a pen or a card. They have a corner of the best smelling lotions, soaps, candles and bath salts. A nook of with handmade jewelry that you can't find in department stores. Another corner for the kiddies. Random bits of cool things tucked into shelves. Almost like a treasure hunt! read more

I really love this store and the variety it provides for browsing and finding a gift for someone (or yourself!) I love paper and found myself in the corner with the stationery trying to find my next journal. I found these brilliant Papelote (from Czechoslovakia) notebooks that I hadn't seen anywhere else. A Google search showed me that it's quite hard to find this brand in the US, as it is quite new. I will definitely be back whenever I need to find a gift (I was eyeing their candle selection) or another notebook for myself! read more

I live in the area and was so happy when Perch opened. First, they have really thoughtful selection of items -- a great range of prices and items for the home, children and yourself so for a smaller store you can take care of a lot of different needs. I think that the reviews that consider it similar to Den and Wishbone didn't spend enough time in the store -- there really are many more types of things and frankly some are more distinctive. Zoel the owner has always been very helpful and friendly -- you really feel the sense of community. Here is a store that adds to our neighborhood with an owner that is trying to build a business and a place here. read more

It's a cute little store with a very friendly owner. If you like to support small business owners, this is the place to browse and shop. The store makes a great addition to the glen park neighborhood. The baby apparel falls nothing short of adorable! read more

Great little place to shop for gifts. The person behind the counter was very friendly and helpful. Knick knacks galore.

Great shop, very knowledgeable and friendly staff, strong focus on local and sustainable products, highlight local artisans. The best part, however, is the card section. I could spend hours here reading cards and laughing. If you need a gift or just want to treat yourself to something unique, go here now! read more

This place is adorable, great for gifts or just a little personal splurge. The owner, Zoel, is awesome and sweet and super helpful. And I love that local artists are featured at this store. read more

This is a long over due recommendation for Perch. Zoel, the owner, is a life saver! He's helped me find perfect last-minute gifts on numerous occasions. It helps that he always has wonderfully unique and tasteful items in his lovely store. I especially like his selection of barware, guest towels, soaps and thank you cards. read more

What a lovely store to have around! You can tell that everything they carry in this place was personally picked, from the charming little trinkets to the kitchen gadgets... Just a lovely time to peruse each time and a life-saver for the couple times I needed hostess gifts. read more

Cute little store that sells unique interesting things . They sell cards , wrapping paper , cups , etc. Though the things here are unique , they're kind of too plain & boring for my taste . read more

Perch is that cute little store you pop into for a special gift and wind up buying the gift, two candles, a necklace & some random household nick-knack because everything is ultra adorable. They've got around 30 different scented candles and the cutest little jewelry assortment. I love my super cute neighborhood! read more

Perch is a delightful store to shop. They have a wonderful range in designer gifts and jewelry, as well as some of the best cards I've seen. The owner has a very good 'eye' for design. read more

I *heart* Perch. I live in Glen Park and have been praying for a cute little shop like this to open for years. Everything from the beautifully designed store, to the modern/unique merchandise, to the cute little bird logo on the store bags make Perch a dangerous place to shop! Zoel, the owner, has fabulous design sense and it shows in his well edited collection of houseware, cards, gadgets, bags, t-shirts, baby gifts, etc. Think 'Dwell', but affordable! He's also extremely friendly and makes you feel right at home upon entering the store. Welcome to the neighborhood Perch! read more

Really clever selection of unique items. Perfect place to get the perfect gift for any occasion. Their selection is a great mix of local designers, cool vintage items and eco-friendly products. Ask for the owner, Zoel. He's friendly, helpful and super nice. read more

I was at a loss for where to take my mom for lunch, so I thought I would venture over to Glen Park. While we didn't really find a lunch spot, we did find Perch, and lets just say that owner Zoel hit it on the nail with putting together a great gift store. There aren't too many in the city that do it all that well (and lets just say I am PICKY!!!)...but he has done a great job. Customer service was wonderful, I actually felt greeted & welcomed (which is something most places lack). And the selection was fun. If you haven't been definitely venture over to the Glen Park hood. It's a good place to find a gift, and something for yourself! read more

This store is the place you go when you want something cool and unique for a gift (or yourself). Everything in the store is great - from the hilarious cards, the great candles & bath stuff, cool pieces of art, baby clothes, and neat things for your house you didn't even know you needed. The store owner is a really friendly person and I love supporting the business. Just being in there in a lovely experience. I want him to come decorate my apartment! =) read more

This store is NOT your average SF soap/stationery/candle "home" store! The store is filled with really unique, handpicked, beautiful things! I am in love with every single thing in there store... stationery, journals, candles, papers, household items, art, jewelry, all of it! My friend and I were running back and forth from one cool thing to another... ("oh my god, did you see this?!" "and look at this!" "wait, look!!") The owner is very enthusiastic about the store and it shows. I've never seen many of the items anywhere else. Definitely worth a trip to Glen Park! read more

Love, love, love Perch! A great revolving selection of unique gifts and cards. Zoel is so nice and helpful. It's worth a trip to Glen Park for a unique shopping experience. read more

LOVE IT HERE. Lots of unique host/hostess gifts, jewelry, Paddywax candles, and cute baby things. Be prepared to browse this little store for over an hour. Employees (owner?) are super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. One of the only places I know in the city where I can get 1) a beautiful and reasonable hostess gift 2) a sophie teething giraffe for my friend's baby and 3) handmade earrings for a birthday present in one trip! Get on their email list for secret discount codes! read more

What an awesome store. The owner does it right! He greets you and then leaves you alone to browse his awesome well laid out collection of cute, interesting and well made items. Then he asks if you need help. I found all sort of gifts for people in my life in this store, from organic goat milk soap to stainless steel bartender tools set for a budding mixologist. This is one of the few stores where I shop off line because the experience is always so pleasant . read more

Anytime I need a gift, whether it's for a baby or a colleague, I can always find something here. Zoel, the owner (or one of the owners), is wonderful at helping find the perfect gift or decor piece. read more

I disagree with the reviewer who stated this store was filled with over-priced merchandise. I actually feel the prices are very reasonable compared to similar stores in the city. You can find great, unique gifts. The owner is super friendly, helpful and accommodating. I am glad this store opened up in Glen Park. read more

What a great place! Unique and fun, Zoel the owner is friendly and helpful, small but has a big punch!!

Perch is my go-to stop when I need presents. It has unique gifts for all occassions, and the price range fits my budget. You can buy anything from a little hostess gift to nice, hand-made jewerly here. I love it! And with all the great stores and restaurants in Glen Park, it's easily accessible from Bart and has plenty of street parking for those who drive. A definitely plus when you're in a rush and looking for just the right present. read more

Talk about great service, Perch has the best I have seen. I stopped into the shop becuase I was going to a birthday party for a 1 year old and didn't have a clue what to bring. Luckily the ladies who worked there, spent some time with me and showed me a few options. Despite me being a bit undecided and unfocused about what to buy, the help was patient, nice, and had a great deal of enthusiasm. They calmed me down and sent me off with a great gift as well as some really cool future great gift ideas. I would definitely go back as the staff made me feel very comfortable shopping there. read more

Perch is great! The owner, Zoel, picks out really cool merchandise. They have great candles, cards & funky baby gifts. I go there to get presents for baby showers & birthdays. Great (but expensive) candles too! read more

Love this store, so cute, such a sweet owner. Great place to go when you need a cute gift. Housewarming, showers, b-days - they have something for you, great jewelry & some hilarious cards. read more

I find the best infant, children adult and hostess presents in S.F. I Lovely Glen Park Village Then go to the French Bistro - L P tit Laurent at the corner..that's the best too. M. Ballard read more

Perch has a pretty nice selection of little gifty-type items, everything is quite pricey though, but that is to be expected. I was looking around for the perfect gift and I felt a little self-conscious about the fact that I'd been looking around for like 45 minutes so I just said to the associate, "I'm just looking for the perfect thing for a coworker who's leaving our office and I'm just not quite sure what to get" and he just kind of chuckled and that was it. In all actuality I was happy that you didn't try to help me because I just didn't want to feel obligated to buy something that you suggested but the fact of the matter is that he never asked me what I was looking for and you never offered any help so if you are looking for that sort of customer service I don't know if Perch is the place for you. I ended up buying a candle that was about $40 and he peel the sticker off the bottom which I thought was nice, because it had a price tag on it, but it made me wonder in my mind "what if the recipient wanted to return or exchange it though?" He was obviously aware of the fact that this was a gift. He put the candle in a shopping bag and stuck a piece of tissue in it but I could see behind him that there was all kinds of ribbon hung up, ready to be used to tie a bow on a gift, and I'm pretty sure I've even seen them giftwrap things at the register too, so it was odd that he didn't offer that to me or at least offered to tie a ribbon on it...I would've paid for it. I'm not taking away rating stars for this experience but I definitely felt a little bit discriminated against. My rating is based on the fact that it's just not really a destination boutique, it's more just for poking around inside of if you're waiting for a manicure down the street. I highly doubt that I'll be returning there just because I was not really made to feel like a valued customer the way that I've seen them treat others in the past. Zoel: Thanks for your response. I live in Glen Park, so it's not so much of a venture for me, but that's neither here nor there. I just want to suggest that you offer ribbon to customers buying a gift or maybe place a small sign stating that it is $1.50 for 3 yards - I would have purchased it! read more

Perch is really cute, I don't usually frequent the Glen Park area, but if I did I would definitely come here often. I came here specifically looking for an Ork poster of San Francisco. Unfortunately they didn't have the one I wanted but the owners was super nice and looked it up on the website. He sent the company an email to see if he could order one for me. I gave him all my info and he called me later that day to let me know that you can only order that particular one online. It was great that he called me right away because that gave me time to place my order at the Ork website and get the poster by this weekend (Yeah!). The store is everything I love, candles, lotions, jewelry, paper goods. He has a great eye for purchasing really nice products. I'm a candle whore and have been coveting the Lafco candles ever since I saw them on Oprah. At $55 a pop I was reluctant to buy them online without smelling them first. So I was really excited when I saw them at Perch. They smelled great but I think I prefer the Voluspa (which they also carry there). The shop is in a nice area with ample parking and I did notice that they had some nice places to eat there, so maybe I'll make a day of it and take another trip to Glen Park in the next few weeks after I've gotten paid. read more

Such a cute shop with a wonderfully curated selection of gifts, jewelry, and housewares. It's tiny and intimate, and manages to fill the space with such a great selection. Friendly staff who are happy to wrap your purchase. read more

Love Perch. If you need a gift and have no clue what to get, ask for help at Perch and you'll walk out with a wonderful purchase. The window displays are always interesting. It's one of my favorite shops in SF, and glad it's in Glen Park. read more

The staff is always friendly and courteous. If you're in the area, stop by. I always find more than one choice item when I visit. Maybe that's why I don't visit more often. LOL read more

Perch has saved my ass on numerous occasions. It has a thoughtful and creative collection of gifts and nice things for your home. Definitely worth checking out before you head downtown and trawl the stores for gifts. The gift wrapping is beautiful too. It's a small space with a wide selection of carefully chosen goodies so you can shop for a baby shower, girlfriend's birthday, house-warming present etc all under one roof. read more

I just can't say enough about this store! Fabulous place to get gifts for the hard to shop for. Gorgeous UNIQUE jewelry, glassware, and other beautiful stuff. The store owner is extremely friendly and helpful and is happy to let you browse without any of the annoying pressure to buy tactics. oh, and there's a great selection of off-the-wall funny and sometimes naughty cards. He has a personal gift registry service - you pick out stuff you like for yourself, then when birthdays, etc, come up, you can tell your loved ones to go take a look at it. Stock turns over quickly...I drop in regularly and always see new things. read more

What an absolutely adorable store! I stopped in for the first time today, in search of a candle, and found so much more.... amazing gifts, housewares, jewelry, cards, candles, and so much more. And the owner is such a sweetheart. I will definitely be back!!! Thank you Perch. read more
