I love places like this. It reminds me of old world SF with unique styles and cutesy art items. The fact that not many ppl that live here now never really see the old SF where boutique shops are cute and unique. The value is fair. Not too high and too low. Prices range from higher up items that you expected to be to something you wouldn't even think it will be. Other than that. Not bad and I have to say that it is totally worth it to check few stuff out here. Now services is always very happy and friendly. I adore them here and love the store pup. Always greet me with a smile which I adore. Never have a bad time here so I suggest you to peak in and just browse. They are always so happy to greet ppl here. Very old school service. Oh did I mention that they do gift wrap for free. LOVE THUS PLACE! read more

Pretentious! & Over priced crap! Avoid at all costs. Highly recommend against it. Staff is rude. read more

My friend has been telling me about picnic for awhile bc she passes it on her way home from work most days. I finally stopped by after work and it was a very cute store. Great if you are looking for a fun, unique gift or something SF themed. Everything is relatively high quality and at a price point I consider expected. I left with multiple goods and will definitely be going back! The 2 ladies working were so helpful during my visit as well! read more

Cute little shop with a large variety of unique items. Many hand made crafts and even clothing. Prices are reasonable for SF and didn't prevent me from buying a set of Poke Socks. Socks disguised as a bowl of poke lol. There was a hand made coffee mug that I really wanted but I couldn't force myself to pay $48.50 for a mug. If your looking for unique stuff come give them some business. You read more

I don't know why I even check out other stores for gifts. I always end up at Picnic! They have a great selection of gifts especially for someone you think that you don't know what to get them...until you go here! I usually go here when I have someone difficult to shop for. Oh and they also help me gift wrap (see pic)! The staff is super friendly and helpful. On today's visit, I was struggling to think of a last minute birthday gift for my friend. She happens to be a fan of whiskey but I didn't want to just buy any bottle of whiskey for her as I'm unsure what kind she'd like or what kind would be gift-worthy. I found a nice guide to whiskey book and two fun whiskey tumblers. She happens to be starting a new business so the "manifest that shit" whiskey tumbler makes the gift even more thoughtful. They have an online store but I'm unsure if all their merchandise is online. I always find better gift ideas when I'm at the physical store. Go here for thoughtful, unique, stylish, tasteful, and fun gifts! read more

This is my favorite place for gifts in San Francisco. Next time I come, I need to make more room in my suitcase!

the stuff here is TOO cute! definitely boutique pricing but I loved everything. It felt like they put a lot of love into this place in curating and displaying. They have premade gift boxes that would be perfect for the holidays. read more

These girls have the cutest shop! Vintage maps and great gifts and candles! Bought many items here for myself and for gifts! Great selection. Local items too! read more

This place is a joke. Let me be honest their stuff is beautiful but the owner... WOW! I was quoted a price of $158 for two prints and two frames and told her I was driving from San Jose and she confirmed the price over the phone. Soon as I arrived an hour and half later- no apology no nothing she says oh the price changed to $228 "cause she quoted the price wrong over the phone". She didn't even offer to give a slight discount on the product nor apologize or say "ok we'll give you even a $10 discount" - no, she proceeded to act obnoxious so in the end I just bought the prints not the frame as I found the same one in pottery barn for $30. As stated, their stuff is great - just a shame about who owns the business, and for that reason I wouldn't return or recommend them. Total bait and switch here. Super disappointed in their customer service or lack thereof. read more

This store has a lot of cute and unique items, but LACKS on the customer service. Who wants to shop in a store and feel like you are being closely monitored, as if you're going to steal?! The shop girl didn't say a single word, hello, or smile to me. As soon as a new customer walked into the store, she greeted them in a friendly way. I noticed from reading other reviews, that maybe she only greets every other customer that comes in??? Anyways, I put the rude customer service aside because I found some cute items and didn't care so much. Great jewelry!!!!!!! I picked up the perfect belt & necklace. Clothes are just ok & a bit overpriced, jewelry is pretty reasonable, love their local artist jewelry, and they have great cards and misc. items you can get as gifts. I'll be back, but will not count on a friendly welcome from the "hall monitors".... ;) read more

Cute boutique with baby items, home items, jewelry, gifts and clothing. I love their SF items! I came in here a couple years ago with my good 'ol Yelp buddy Janice, and gawked over the cute onesies. Since hubs and I were eating nearby at House of Prime Rib the other week we came after our early dinner to get a onesie for our son. Upon entering, I was remembered of the cold vibe from the employees. They never greeted me on either occasion and most of the time are either talking to themselves or eating something. I honestly feel that a lot of the items are overpriced in which you can find similar items at other shops for less. Their sale items are only discounted at about 10% and looked semi damage as well - like the books and some of the candles. The adorable bear onesie that I loved a couple years ago that read "Made in California" was only available in a 18 month size. So, we looked at some of the SF themed onesies and tops and got him a cute baseball raglan tee that outlined the different neighborhoods of SF. Overpried, yes, but we're natives so we have an appreciation for this kind of stuff and wanted him to have some SF stuff. 3 stars solely for the cute selection. Service, prices, and quality of products could improve. read more

I purchased three small, clay, candlestick holders (each $24), that I really liked. They were carefully wrapped in the store and carefully unwrapped when I got home. However, each cracked as I placed candles (that I had also just purchased at Picnic), into the candlestick holders.  I was shocked and disappointed.    Picnic was contacted the same day and I followed-up with an email and picture showing the broken candlestick holders. I requested a refund to my credit card for the price of the candlestick holders. I will keep the candles. I was told that I must spend two hours driving into the City, search for parking, and feed the meter to return broken candlestick holders. Why? Picnic "will need to take a look at the candlestick holders to determine how they broke and possibly send back to our manufacturer." Hmm, I've learned two things in our correspondence, 1) they don't believe me when I told them how this happened and 2) what I thought were handmade items were manufactured. read more

Just paid $22 for a broken mirror. My daughter tripped on her shoe and they said they weren't the store manager. I prefer the cute gift store across the street. read more

Great store and amazing service! Wonderful selection of clothes and gifts. Easy return policy as well

I really like Picnic because: 1) They're walking distance from my place. 2) Things are good quality. 3) Their price point is higher, but not so ridiculous that you would ONLY look at the sale rack (and by they way they still have a great sale rack). 4) One room for clothes/jewelry, another room for cute knick-knacks and gifts (think Urban Outfitters gift section but in better taste, not necessarily witty/funny stuff, more classy & good taste). It's one of those places where I've only bought a few items, spent a little more, but it they've all been totally worth it because I've put them all to good use and they're still in great shape. One of my faves is this leather/stretchy belt, which cost $50 but has been worth every penny: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/pNpZSZSVxk0MS_ix8lqwlQ?select=URKfODPEsbUDktP7tqsRVg#URKfODPEsbUDktP7tqsRVg Best part is I didn't even find this on my own - I was trying on a dress I'd seen in the window display and one of the clerks suggested I pair it with the belt. I ended up liking it so much I ditched the dress and just got that belt! read more

Every time I need a gift this is the first place I come to! They have the most aesthetic store with the coolest gifts - the staff is absolutely lovely!! I loved this girl named Margaret read more

Went into the store looking for a picture frame for my sweetest mom and the two ladies working there on 8/8/23 (approximately 3 pm) were super helpful & adorable! This store has been around for a while & I'm very happy that they've extended their store into the next building. Seems to have a lot of super cute stuff! read more

Would have bought something if the employee wasn't following me around the whole store acting like I was going to steal something. Not the first time this has happened to me since shopping there but finally had enough because it's so uncomfortable - just lost a loyal customer. read more

I love Picnic and have been wandering in (and out) of here for years. Their products are so thoughtfully curated and the owner has fantastic style. It's a great place to buy a gift or just dream a little dream. But it is a customer service story that prompted me to review Picnic after all this time of me being a fan. I bought a pair of stone stud earrings in January and one of the stones fell out at some point, after wearing them about 10 times or so. I figured, what the heck, I'll go in and see if they could help, knowing there was a strict policy on jewelry. The clerk kindly took the earrings and said she'd contact the designer to see if they could replace the stone. Sure, I was fine with that. I got an email within a week explaining the designer no longer made the design, but that they'd honor an even exchange. I thought that was a really lovely solution, and just because the process was handled so professionally, I doubled down and bought a pair of earrings twice as much as my credit. And the stone hasn't fallen out (phew). Karma is a lovely thing. read more

So many cute things! Stumbled upon this place while out for a walk with the pup and just couldn't resist popping in. Really nice selection of clothes, many from local makers, and a nice selection of thoughtfully curated home things. The sales person was super sweet and helpful. So happy this place is within walking distance for me. Will definitely be back. read more

This place is sweet. I can say I have bought a lot of jewelry here and probably one dress. I find some of their pricing to be a little high. I have seen the same dress in other boutiques in the city for sometimes $40 dollars less. The staff is friendly, but not badgering you to purchase. Although I don't like how they stalk you around the store like you are going to steal something. I hope by now they know me and see me as a regular. But really? It's super annoying to be watched while I am shopping. I have left on numerous occasions faster than I wanted to because I felt uncomfortable by the staff. read more

Picnic - Super adorable rings for only $8! - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Francisco, California

False advertisement on prices and clearly rude on service. You can find the same products at different locations for a better price. My experience here has never been positive. Tried coming many times to ask for advice and employees inexperienced. read more

Do not shop here! I will sincerely be looking forward to this place going out of business. Hope it happens soon. My girlfriend and I went here a few days ago to check out some clothing items. My girlfriend had called some store ahead of time on the phone to check some items for availability and thought it was this store (turns out it was the store across the street that she talked to). When we entered the store, my girlfriend said "thank you so much for answering my questions on the phone" with a smiling face. Obviously, they didn't know what she was talking about. Instead of saying it wasn't them who she talked to, the two ladies who work at the store preferred to stay silent and make faces behind my girlfriend (like "what is this idiot talking about?"), thinking she wouldn't see. She didn't but I did. I immediately pulled my girlfriend out of there and we left. I understand bad customer service but this is beyond it. If you can't even treat your customers who are nothing but nice to you with respect, you don't deserve to stay in business. read more

Really cute shop on Polk with a variety of gift items, San Francisco themed items ranging from home decor, cards, and more, and even clothing and kids goods! The store is curated so beautifully and I always find things I need and love for everyone in my life. They are also always willing to help find me anything I need but aren't pushy. :) definitely a great addition to Polk! read more

Love love love this shop! Fantastic customer service and they have the most beautiful items. I could honestly buy everything here, such great style and home decor. Definitely why I love shopping local so much. Support local business! read more

This place is super cute! It's your staple SF expensive stuff of just random stuff. They have stuff for your living room, kitchen, your closet, your mom, your mom's best friend, etc. I got marble coasters, which came in a set of 5 I think. Were they expensive? Yes. Was I not sure about buying them because it was like $7 per coaster? Yes. Is it super cute on my coffee table, while preventing cups from leaving rings? Yes. So ya, it's one of those things where you probably don't need it, but it makes you happy to have them around. read more

I live around the corner from this quaint boutique. It's quite dangerous-as I find myself making excuses to stop in and browse. I love the layout and have founds lots of clutch purses, soaps, lotions, scented candles and jewelry. Picnic carries the Pacifica Perfume line which I am a big fan of. Pacifica is made with natural ingredients that are skin beneficial, non-toxic, cruelty-free and 100% vegan. The collections feature light scents that are not overpowering. All items in the boutique feel like they are handpicked and custom designed with the customer in mind.

C U T E We stopped by after my friend's laptop ran out of energy juice at The Crepe House (due to no outlets along the wall accessible by patrons) and only because a cute flirty top was waving at us from across the street (decided to head towards Peet's). Small hall in the wall with a good range of trendy items that were not only mixed in with affordables but brands like Free People, To The Maxx, Soda Blu in addition to accoutrements like the very cute Loungefly cigarette holder that I'm going to utilize as a business card holder instead ($12). In addition, there were several racks of clearance items marked down to almost half off. A fell in love with a somewhat surreal t-shirt but could not justify the $85 price tag. However, the Tulle brand clothing was quite chic and the grey top reminded me to come back within a few weeks. Maybe if it were half off..... Alas, the only problem was that many of their sizes do not adapt well to my size 6 curves (butt/chest factor) which would explain why I walked out with one small little brown bag tucked under my arm. My friend, however, fared better with two adorable summer dresses for $85! The owner was affable and nice, allowing us to peruse without the typical boutique banality of following people around like dogs. I'll be back, since I did see a vertical black/white striped top that would look good the next social event I hit. read more

After reading some really great Yelp reviews, I finally made my way to Picnic yesterday. I was expecting more of a selection of dresses but other than that, I was not disappointed. They have adorable little t-shirts and a good selection of cute tanks and tops. Their little knick-knacks and jewelry were awesome too. I ended up buying an awesome purple dress for my wine tasting trip this weekend (for a LOT less than I was expecting) and a really cool vest. At the register, I was also suckered into buying a precious little bracelet with a shell on it to give to my friend for her birthday. The woman working there was helpful but not in your face or bothersome. I will definitely be returning. This is one of those shops that you are always going to find something unique that you would never see elsewhere. read more

This is a cute store a little over priced. Therapy in North Beach has a good selection and is better priced. The one thing I will say is when you walk in the girls working there look at you as if your gonna steal something. Come on ladies- I've shop here 3 times now, smile a little and let your customers browse with out feeling like a hawk is watching them. Cute scarf selection though! read more

New to the neighborhood, I popped into Picnic to see what they had. Upon entering, I received no greeting or efforts to help me by the employee on the "knick knacks" side of the store. I looked past this, but when I saw this employee extending herself to other customers I raised an eyebrow. I found a greeting card that was just what I was looking for. I carried it around the store, holding it in plain sight sight - I felt as though I was being watched - as I was looking around the women's clothing side of the store. Once again, I was rudely ignored. You know who was not ignored? The customers DIRECTLY behind me. I placed the card down on the table and walked out. Intentional or unintentional, the treatment I received this evening was inexcusable. Thanks, but no thanks. read more

Cute shop, glad to see they have expanded and carrying home items. The selection has definitely improved and expanded, all good news. Cute clothes and accessories at reasonable price, considering the location and all. read more

This place is one of my favorite boutiques in San Francisco. Every time I go here I find something (which is not always a good thing) and I always want more than what I can afford to spend. They have everything from comfy t's to amazing silk dresses. Prices range from $20 to $300something. The prices are all over the board which is okay because so is there selection. Their sale rack is always packed (which I always check first) and they have interesting little knick knacks, clutches, shoes and bags all over the store. They also have a wonderful jewelry selection. This is the perfect one stop Christmas shop for all the women in your life! They also have men's t's and I am pretty sure they give discounts to Academy of Art students. I'll be back as soon as I get a little extra spending money in my budget! read more

Very cute little boutique with unique, interesting things. I was greeted with a friendly "hello" by the salespeople when I came in. However it does not get the full 5 stars from me because of the vibe I feel when I am actually browsing the store. I feel like I am being watched closely by the salespeople.... like they think I might steal something. Judging from other peoples' reviews, I realize it's not just me that feels this way! I understand they are making themselves available to assist you if needed, but perhaps maybe they can keep themselves a little bit busier instead of just standing there and making their customers feel a bit awkward, like they are being watched by hawks? Other than that, definitely a cute boutique with reasonable prices. read more

Very cute little gift store. A great place if you are one of those shoppers who don't know exactly what kind of gift to get for someone.... but you'll know it when you see it. Small and cute selection of home, baby, and men's gifts. Yes, I realize I've already said 'cute' twice (now, three times) but seriously.... that's what this store is.... cute. The women's clothing selection is not my style, but I would definitely come here for the stationary and gift selection. read more

This is my favorite neighborhood boutique! I like to think of myself as selective, so when I say they have a great selection of cute clothes, it goes a long way. The owner/sales peeps are hands off, which I like. They let customers browse and are available when needed. The store carries a lot of indie designers that you'd usually have to go hunting for in other cities. God bless this buyer who's opened up an affordable oasis of fashion in this city! Just got back from the store and picked up a sexy cashmere sweater for SF's chilly weather and a tank for balmy LA days/nights. Definitely a great place to browse for unique, affordable items or gifts for friends. It's a once a week stopover on the way home for me. Ditch the mainstream and high prices elsewhere and check this place out. read more

My favorite part of my new neighborhood are all the amazing shops and boutiques on Polk and Hyde, and Picnic is by far my favorite. I tried to resist going in for so long (poor grad student shouldn't be shopping so much) but every time I walked past I wanted the outfits I saw in the window. I would say the style is comparable to anthropolgie with a slight neon funky twist. The staff is great, my first trip I found a great little sweater/cardigan dress, the button fell of when I was trying it on and the woman working there sewed it on in 5 minutes for me and I was out the door! The prices are average, and of course, I have lots of love for the clearance rack. The jewelry is unique, adorable, and affordable! Such an appropriate name, its like a lil picnic basket full of goodies! read more

This site has some really cute finds for the house! I instantly feel in love with several items. The only thing that kept me from buying all was the price. Prices did seem reasonable but too much to be obvious buys. read more

Picnic - Amazing finds - Women's Clothing Near Me - San Francisco, California

It's my favorite hole in the wall. All the colors and shiny trinkets bring a tear of happiness to my right eye. The tear from my left eye comes from not being able to afford buying the entire store. It's the perfect place to go to find gifts ranging from unique hand-made jewelry, to bags, wallets and clothes. I could, and have, spend forever in there exploring all of the goodies packed into all the nooks and crannies of this closet-sized gem. If you've got money to spend, which I don't, it's a wonderful place to find some goodies for yourself and friends. If not, you can still find a few little treasures that won't bruise your bank too badly :) read more
