Cute-r-us. The perfect little boutique, with a range of items at a range of prices. In this little store you will find: eco friendly sacks, trendy accesories, beautiful scarves, women's cotton goods, nu bras, undies, and more! read more

My favorite boutique to visit in SF. Half of the store offers clothing, jewelry, and accessories such as sunglasses, belts, scarves, clutches, etc. And on the other side are home decor, or gifts such as journals, candles, cards, etc. I always come here when I need to buy a gift for someone. The ladies that work there are always very kind and friendly. And they go the extra mile by wrapping your items delicately if they know it is going to be a gift for someone. I love this store. They have the cutest stuff ever! read more

I LOVE this boutique and anytime I am on Polk St., I make a point of stopping in. The owner is so sweet and the shop is packed full of super cute tops, skirts and dresses from great designers. If you are a Free People fan, you will find some of the best pieces here. The prices range from reasonable to pricey depending on the piece. The best part is you will find such great steals that you won't find anywhere else. Looking for a great gift? You will find some very cool accessories and jewlery as well. read more

I had a very poor experience at this boutique. I recently purchased a dress for my girlfriend for her birthday at this shop. In her excitement when she opened it up, she took off the tag and tried it on. She realized it was the wrong size and so we decided that we would take it back the next weekend and exchange it for a smaller size. When we got the store, the two employees told us they wouldn't be able to accept the exchange because it is the store's policy that tags cannot be removed - even though we had all the original tags and the receipt. I told them when I bought the item no one had mentioned this to me, but they said there wasn't anything they could do. I understand small stores have to have a policy like this to prevent people from wearing items and returning them, but I am still very frustrated and disappointed. I spent over $60 on a dress that my girlfriend cannot wear because it is simply too large and they refused to exchange it. I would encourage people not to visit this store. Their return policy is not customer friendly and they did not do a good job of warning me about it. I recommend that people do not support a store that does not have customer friendly policies. read more

Here is another cute, little neighborhood store amongst the nail salons, restos and bars lining the rather sketchy Polk Gulch (Polk Street South of Broadway). If you have your head phones on and are texting on your smartphone, you might actually miss it. That would be sad. What you'll find there: Really cute, versatile pieces to construct a comfy outfit for both work and play. The designers that you find are not bargain basement, but not UBER expensive like shops in Union Square or the Marina. It is what I would consider as reasonable fashion. What you won't find there: Overly attentive, uber excitable staff. The atmosphere is more "do it yourself" than other stores. The ladies working there are not extremely talkative (in my opinion), but are friendly enough. They are not racing around trying to cater to your every whim. Yet, they will say hello, they will ask you if you would like to start a dressing room and they will give you enough space to browse and will answer questions if you have them. What I purchased and my experience: I bought several very romantic and flowy dresses (one with lace and the other ruffles) each for less than $80. I wore one to a holiday cocktail party (and got rave reviews) and the other, I plan to wear at work with a leather belt purchased from Picnic. Actually, now that I think of it, I think that the style reminds me of something casual enough to Urban Picnic in...English Country...a little shabby chic. Other things to note: They also carry other great fashion accessories (saw that they sell the NUBRA - for all your strapless dress needs) and I also bought an AWESOME messenger bag from Danica Studios. In the past it has been rather hit or miss for me, but recently my adventures have been more hits than misses. read more

Today was Saturday Small Shop today where it is encouraged to buy from small shops especially during holiday shopping season. Perfect, I headed over to Polk Street straight to Picnic. I love this store! If ever I need a girly gift or something for a housewarming party or something fun for myself, Picnic is my go-to store. Cute clothes, nice candles, adorable accessories, stationery stuff, tea towels, such cute stuff. I will be back again and again. read more

Worst customer service... I live close to Picnic and therefore have been a regular. In the past, I've excused its subpar service, but today they lost me as a customer. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and suggest you do the same! read more

Definitely a boutique that is worth paying a visit to. There are two sides of the store - one, containing home goods and decor and the other clothing and accessories. There's plenty to browse through with a high probability of finding something for yourself or for gift-giving. I especially love the jewelry selection up front by the cash wrap. Ranging from delicate initial necklaces to chunky earrings and bracelets. I don't really walk around this particular neighborhood much, otherwise I'd most likely be coming by here more often! I'll always keep it in mind when I need my next round of retail therapy :D read more

Cute little store with lots of cute little clothes. Really awesome part of the place- the girls who work here know jeans! read more

I really like this place--neat tees and some wonderful random items including this owl I picked up recently. I just wish the staff was a little bit friendlier. I get a tepid "hello" when I walk in and get the feeling they think I'm going to steal something. Maybe because I don't look like a Marina-girl. I guess I can't blame them--must be hard to run a store with a bunch of expensive knick-knacks. read more

This review is for the gift shop section which is a wonderfully curated, ever changing, on-trend selection of items at reasonable prices from home accessories to candles and lotions to cards and wrapping to baby toys. I live in the neighborhood and it's my go-to when I need gift inspiration - and I admit I often walk away with something for myself, too. read more

I saw maybe two things interesting in this store and that was it. I know it's a womens store but they other things that may have been intresting to myself. The salesperson was doing nothing but looking out the store door. No greeting or hello. The store is not all that anyways. Not going back. read more

Cute, cute, cute! Love this place for unique, affordable, homemade jewelry and gifts. The women who work here are super sweet too, which just makes it all the more sweet. The things here are just cool - from necklaces featuring little woodland creatures, to classic wallets, to fun boutiquey clothes. This places gives you conversation-starter garb fo' sure. Decked out. Yeah. read more

Really cute clothing boutique, although I have to say that I like the jewelry a lot better than some of the clothes! I've found really unique rings and earrings here :) If I do get clothes here, I always head to the sales rack first! There are also lots of bags, cards, scarves, perfumes, and wallets. It's mainly women's clothing, although they have a small section for men in the front corner. They recently combined with the other area next door, so they also have items for your home and stuff for babies! Kinda pricey, but hey, it's a unique San Francisco boutique, not a Forever 21-esque business! read more

I randomly decided to come in and browse and was not disappointed. They have cute SF and Paris-themed gifts, like macaron-shaped cases, mugs, totes, and baby clothes. They also have a good selection of Lollia handcremes and jewelry in the back near the register. My bf picked up a few Paris maps for framing and they were reasonably priced at $6 each. We'd been eyeballing a larger antique replica map at Restoration Hardware that was a month's rent so these were a more affordable substitute. I personally didn't find customer service to be that bad. I mean, the sales girls weren't falling all over themselves to say hi when we came into the shop, but they answered our questions when we needed help and were friendly enough. read more

I want to give this store 5 stars. I really, really do. After all, I get most of my cutest items here (both clothing and jewelry) which receive accolades from both women AND men...you know you're wearing something truly awesome when a guy will stop you on the street and compliment your dress. (As long as you're not walking in the Castro, that is.) Seriously, though, the clothes in Picnic are THAT CUTE. Only complaint? The sizes. While it's not their fault (and all clothing lines size differently), it can sometimes be hard to find something to flatter my 5'8" frame...they carry an abundance of extra-smalls that stop right above my belly button. C'mon, kids, it's not 1996 anymore and midriff tops are OUT. But that really IS my only complaint. The owner and staff there are SO helpful, very friendly and attentive. The merchandise rotates quite often so you'll always find something new, and they place a lot of the items on sale if they haven't sold quickly. They also offer knicknacks (I bought the most beautiful letter-pressed calendars as holiday gifts this year) and the jewelry is both unique and stunning. A stark contrast from the overpriced boutiques located nearby on Union Street, take my advice and walk a few blocks up to Polk for cute, affordable clothes and a fun shopping experience. read more

This place has cute stuff, and sometimes if you watch something you really like, it might end up on sale (not much of a sale, but it's a sale nonetheless). But their accessories seem a bit over-priced. I see a lot of complaints about the staff. I think the owner only hires her friends or friends of friends... who also seem to be fashion students. I don't want to sound rude in any way, but I think it's a little bit of a turn-off to customers when all the staff is speaking another language, and when they do speak English it's in that small voice of one who is using it uneasily as a second language. I work with managers who speak another language over our heads and the customer's too; so I'm just saying that it could be viewed as rude or a bit put-offish to some people. Like that "what are they saying?" feeling, you know? If the staff doesn't smile or isn't all customer-servicey, it's not frostiness or snootiness, it's just language barriers. read more

Cute, local shop to find adorable gifts, unique dresses/tops/sweaters, and accessories. I agree with a previous poster that accessories are often over-priced, but hey-- this isn't Forever 21, people! It's a very well-designed store with well-selected pieces and it's a joy to browse. I frequently step in on my walk home just to take a gander at what's new. Very cute selection of cute, somewhat unusual gifts with broad appeal-- perfect for last-minute gifts, or gifts for a female friend you don't know that well yet. read more

Really cute gift items! Unique San Francisco baby gifts, trendy home decor (a Pinterest lover's dream), and pretty jewelry. I also really think their sweaters are lovely, I haven't purchased one but plan to when the season hits. read more

I love this store! Picnic has a good assortment of clothes at pretty decent prices. And everything that I've bought here receives tons of compliments. They carry Free People, Nick & Mo, Tulle, and other cute brands. They also sell a small selection of baby clothes, soaps/candles, accessories, home knick-knacks, underwear, NuBra, Hollywood tape, etc. Also, I believe that Academy of Art students receive some sort of discount. read more

I LOVE PICNIC!!! that store is packed full of goodies!! i always can find something new there...from casual to dressy, local designers to well known. they do a great job!!! read more

This is an extremely well-curated store. If you aspire to have your life look like a Pinterest board, you will be in heaven here. If you or your girlfriend step foot in this store you should just plan to allocate your next 45 minutes there. There are so many tiny trinkets and they are all so cute I find myself inspecting the beauty of every little thing. Somehow this store keeps their merchandise more up-to-date with trends than I see online, which is really impressive. So if you're looking for a cute unique gift, this is your spot. It'll be a little pricier, but they'll always have so many "perfect" things to choose from and you'll leave inspired. Always. read more

This cute boutique really is a Picnic....the buyer/owner of this store for sure had great taste and knows fashion. If only we can get some cheese/crakers and wine then I would feel like I am at a Picnic when I come into the store. read more

It's so hard to find a boutique/clothing store that gets it right, and Picnic gets it so right. Every item here is precious and would appeal to the person searching for that perfect little something. The style here is like Anthropologie but cuter and more thought out, and the prices are reasonable. The advantage of having a boutique versus a Corporate chain is that a boutique carries more small select items from a larger variety of brands, and Picnic is a great example of this. read more

It's love at first sight... Picnic is a littly rinky dinky boutique on Russian Hill with a cool flea market, girlfriend's appartment feel. The clothes are fabulous, the girls that work there are helpful and I alway find something there that I like and the prices are reasonable. It's also the perfect place for gifts. The best part however is the decor! My only gripe is that they only have one fitting room. read more

I can never walk in here without buying something, and I am always able to find something no matter how close to payday it is. Every item hangs lovingly in this boutique unlike other shops where they pack as many pieces in as they can. I love the people behind the counter for their effortlessly cool chic style, and that they are not at all pushy, but are helpful when needed. read more

Cute girly things, friendly staff. I found a great little tote bag here and some unique tee-shirts. I recommend this place to anyone who thinks that good SF style is found only on Valencia street. read more

This store is SO cute! Everything about it is adorable and Jasmine, the gir that owns it is so great and helpful. The stuff is funky and different. There's lots of stuff here you won't see anywhere else. As well as lots of staples, like Made and BCBG. The prices are super reasonable too. I heart Picnic! read more

I heart this store! A great SF stop as everything here is fun and unique - skip the mall people and come straight to picnic (Especially for dresses)!! A mix of fun brands and items including Free People tops and dresses, Made Tanks and comfy items, funky thermals, a range of unique denim and the dress selection is AWESOME! Great thing about picnic is the range of prices. You can find a cute item for under $60 or a stunning piece (one of those dresses you'll keep forever!) for closer to $200. Unique jewelry that you won't find anywhere else also - as well as belts, umbrellas, scarves, the NuBra (as well as a variety of bra/nipple cover/strap accessories...can we talk about how hard it is to have boobs!?) and maternity stuff too - which I thankfully don't need yet. The staff and girl who own the shop are wonderful - don't meddle but give you good feedback - great for gifts and of course for yourself; if you are a fabulous chica in SF - and I know you are - check it out!!! read more

Notice how restaurants like Applebee's have huge menus, but nothing good to eat; whereas the better restaurants tend to have fewer choices, but all of them tasty? Picnic is that better restaurant of shopping. Small store, but everything in there is fabulous. Picnic stocks adorable clothes, shoes, jewlery, accessories, and home decor. Prices are reasonable for what you are buying, and there is always a sale rack in the back. My only problem is sticking to my budget, but that's another issue . . . read more

Cute clothes, purses, and things for the home. The best part is they carry things you don't see at every store. the only thing that prevents a 5-star rating is that they take a couple seasons to mark stuff down- so if you're waiting for that perfect skirt that's too expensive to go on sale, you'll be waiting a long time. read more

Wow. This place is awesome. Like really awesome. Everything is uber cute! They have tons of unique jewelry (perhaps homemade/handmade?), bags, clothes, hella goodies. Great place in a great neighborhood! read more

I really like the selection and layout at Picnic. Some of the prices are a little high, but some are very reasonable. It's really like a Sheckys girls night out all crammed in to one little tiny store. read more

Stumbled upon this adorable shop today and so glad I did! Beautiful clothes, bags, jewelry, and home decor as well as stationary items make this store an all-in-one type of place. Would recommend to anyone who likes to shop for all different types of items in one cute place. Not a lot of men's clothing options however. I WILL be returning here! read more

I Love this cutesy store...I thought it was a picnic store for its accoutrement and books- but its a little chic boutique of comfortable t-shirts , casual wear and jewelry...they carry Fornarina jeans, LA Made and To the Maxx...all I like :-) Staff always encouraging and helpful- ask for their sales time- they have great finds!!! read more

Picnic has the most unique assortment of clothing, and they introduced me to Saja, one of my favorite designers. Their dresses are flattering to any body type and make you feel like a Greek Goddess! I love going to Picnic for those one off gifts too! read more

I was strolling by in the evening when the stores gravitational pull sucked me in in. literally had my nose stuck to the glass. The woman that was closing up took pity on me and unlocked the door. I heart the top I got there. It is so unique. They have many precious hand bags. read more

Oh, this place is absolutely adorable! I love their clothes, jewelry and household items! I have yet to purchase anything from here, but I will very soon! read more

Looking for unique items to add to your closet? Picnic is the place to visit! I purchased some Hollywood strips there and it works a like a charm! I love it and it's nice to have it in my neighborhood! My friend cought a cute laptop bag for under $25. Check it out! read more

A hidden treasure! They have a range of high and low end stuff and it's all really unique stuff. However the store is pretty small and if there are more than two or three people in the store it can get crowded. Also you have to really be prepared to look around to find stuff as the store is packed. Still worth a shot to find something a little more unique. read more
