I love this store more than I love life itself. I've been on the hunt for cute & unique plates,…read morebowls, and other eatery-ware for my collection, and this little shop was an absolute goldmine. A treasure trove for trinkets, household goods, and more. I also bought a bunch of adorable and designed paper lanterns, which are hung up in my apartment. The lady at the counter helped me dig through the massive stack to find ones that I liked the best. It was only $3.99 for each lantern, and the bowls ranged from $5-$25. Great deals, great vibes, great purchases. I'm going to visit again to buy more plates and paper lanterns.

They also have incense of all kinds, including Japanese ones and Indian ones. Guess you can say this is a variety store, but quality of things looks on the upper end. There's also some cute pet costumes that are upfront, especially for the Chinese New Year season. Fun place to shop.

It's very crowded on the weekends and holidays, especially with long lines at all restrooms and at certain restaurants, cafes, and ice cream shops. I recommend having fresh oysters from Hog Oysters, checking out the bookstore, and taking home baked goods. Watch out for the birds when you're dining on an outdoor patio. You can conveniently take the ferry to Marin County, Oakland/Alameda, Richmond, and Vallejo. Take BART from Embarcadero Station or take any bus to any neighborhood in SF. I prefer taking public transportation here since parking is hectic and lots of jaywalkers.

It's funny when I was a kid I never visited the Ferry Building…read more It was just a cool building we would drive or walk by when visiting San Francisco with a very cool sign and memorable tower. When I was an adult and I took the ferry from Vallejo and it dropped me off at the Ferry Building for the first time, that all changed. Just about every visit I make to San Francisco begins with a visit to the Ferry Building these days. It's such a wonderful place. It's full of incredible merchants, awesome food vendors and restaurants. There are amazing pastry and chocolate vendors in the Ferry Building. It has some of the nicest, cleanest public bathrooms in the city. Their coffee shops and ice cream shops are elite there. They have a famous vendor there that sells authentic empanadas that are truly a must visit spot. My favorite bite in the Ferry Building is this vendor that sells Filipino-Infused Burritos-they are just splendid. Let's not forget at its core the Ferry Building is the spot where one catches a ferry into the city as many thousands of people do daily. I find it's a great way to get into the city from all over the Bay Area. These are just a few of the reasons why I love the Ferry Building and why I recommend it as a must-visit spot whenever visiting San Francisco.

This is vastly different from the Sausalito location where a customer is actively and warmly engaged. Do the Ferry building employees get trained on ignoring customers?

This cute and curated shop was was established in 2019 and mainly focuses on San Francisco-themed items and sells unique tote bags, pins, stationery, greeting cards, mini print vending machines, original artwork, home goods (e.g. scented candles), accessories, etc. This small shop carries items from 100+ brands and independent artists. This shop was quite an unexpected find and it really reminded me of some gift shops in Los Angeles that rent shelf space to independent artists and creators to showcase their work. Overall this is a great gift shop to stop by for anyone who's looking for a one-of-a-kind gift.
