City Target stocks it's store with a selection of popular items. A down sized urban living Target for inner city people. It's just what the doctor ordered to save the flailing Metreon. Both City and AMC Theaters have made this mall popular again. read more

Target - The glowing City Target entrance to its most popular store in Northern California - Department Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

Came to this target to buy some things for our new place, and ended up spending the whole afternoon here. It was really big and had home items as well as groceries. My only complaint is that there should be more staff walking around to assist customers. read more

This is the best store in my life. It has everything I need. Everyone is so nice to me and very helpful. If I had my choice of shopping anywhere, it would be Target. - R, age 6 and S read more

Has everything you need and used too from a Target store here in downtown San Franciso read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

I work nearby and visit this location a lot... maybe even *too* much. Its a City Target so there is a smaller selection in each department but I haven't had any problems finding what I need. The staff is always very friendly and helpful (including the Pharmacy). It does cost slightly more than a Target in another city but its not enough to justify going over the Bridge or driving all the way down the Peninsula. Definitely stop by here for your movie snacks - so much cheaper! read more

Nasty staff, won't be coming back. Security accused my wife and I of stealing a 150 pound crib for our grand daughter. They watched us pay and we showed them our receipt. I told them to show us the tapes but they wouldn't. Only after I threatened to call police they let us go. No apology at all. read more

Price match not honored here for officedepot even though on the target website it says it is. The staff don't seem to know anything about this just see the buttons on the screen and say its the only options other than the other things that you can bring them an add with the same number and code and everything. The products that are so similar just a little tweak in a model number would not let you price match it. read more

Couldn't find anyone who could open the cabinet of locked-away cables (yeah, they lock up the USB cables). The employees that couldn't help me were rude, yelling "guess you don't want it!" as I left. Not going back to Target of this is how they train employees to treat customers. read more

Be still my heart there is a Target in San Francisco! That said the selection is a bit limited and the lay out is sort of odd. However, the staff is very polite and seems eager to direct you around. I will say that they seemed a bit more expensive than a traditional target. read more

I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one whose ears are permanently damaged from the insanely loud bathroom hand dryers. A year ago the water was scalding hot. Thankfully that was addressed. But the hand dryers? Still an issue. read more

I love Target.... this one seems to be more expensive than others- maybe that's why they call it "City Target"... It does the job, great layout, clean, good design, helpful employees. Crowded at weekends- watch out! read more

Nice clean Target with friendly employees. We were able to find what we were looking for easily and check out with no problems. Nice grocery section with rocks. Location is right by Metro too which is cool too. I'd come to this location again. Thanks Target! read more

I'm so glad that Target is right down the street from me, mostly because they sell grocery's. A lot of downtown San Franciscans didn't want a big box store like Target in their neighborhood. As for me I like to know that when I go to the store to buy a frozen pizza I can pick up a vacuum cleaner at the same time. The only negative thing I have to say about Target is, and I know that being a cashier must be a boring brain dead job, but I wonder if the management specifically tells their employees not to bag grocery's. I mean I'm just standing there staring at the chip reader waiting for when it tells you that you can remove your card while the cashier could be putting your stuff in your bag for you, but instead they just stair off into space and you have to bag your merchandise yourself, then they hand you the receipt and start ringing the next person in line up mixing their stuff with yours. All in all, Target has good prices and a large selection. Before Target arrived if I wanted to take a short walk to buy some food or drink I was at the mercy of the dive liquor store owners in the area with insane prices. I guess that's another thing that liberal San Franciscans didn't like about a downtown S.F. Target, putting Ma and Pa stores out of business. I say f#(k em. Lower your prices or go home. read more

I ordered on line to pick up an item at a local store... arrived and I was told the item had just been sold.... I then went on line and ordered the item to be delivered within 24 hours.... 2 days later, it never arrived!!!!!! NOW, I can't get Target to take it off my credit card because the delivery company says they have it out for delivery... WHAT! Target wants me to contact the 3rd party delivery company to work out the matter... I AM FURIOUS.... STAY AWAY from shipping with TARGET... it is pretty obvious they are not able to compete with AMAZON.... read more

They're always out of stock for the most common household, sports and grocery items. Every time I've been to the store, I've been disappointed and been directed to other target stores in Colma/ Daly City. read more

I'm not the biggest fan of They're not as cheap as grocery stores when it comes to food and a lot of times they don't have as big of a selection on produce but they do have some super cute clothes! I never really went to Targets until my friend brought me here last year to do some shopping. I thought she was crazy but I believe her exact words were, "Trust me, they have really cute clothes for cheap!" Well, not everything there is cheap but she sure was right! I don't know who picks out what Target sells but they have pretty darn good taste. Bathing suites, hats, workout clothes, inexpensive jewelry and watches, shades, etc. I now actually try to avoid Target after I've just been paid because even though their clothes are pretty cheap, I tend to spend a lot of money when I visit. Before I know it that cart gets prettty full. read more

I stopped at this Target to pick up a few things while I was visiting in San Francisco. I didn't even release there was a Target in downtown San Francisco until I spotted it waking across the street. I definitely like the design and urban feel that Target chose for this location. It also blends well into the mall in which it is located. Overall, the selection was adequate and it was stocked nicely. My one issue is that it's definitely smaller than other Target stores and that is a shame. Though I understand that space must be an issue, I couldn't help but notice that several of items that I normally get at my suburban Target were not here. read more

Location, location, location. This Target certainly has that down. The location could not be more ideal for city shoppers. Right in the middle of it all. While it's not the most huge Target I've seen, it does have an impressive section, considering the confined space. It seems to have pretty much all the products offered at the full-size Targets, but in a more portable size. For example, don't expect a 24-roll toilet paper pack that you might need a car for. Instead, seems to be more manageable sizes for city dwellers traveling by foot or MUNI. Now if only Target would partner for Uber! Shopping and a ride home all in one. read more

Pretty cool target! The best I have seen outside of Atlanta,GA! The staff are very friendly and helpful. This store has so much that other Targets don't have. I found so many toys that have been sold out in at my local Targé. I would recommend this Target! read more

See all

I love Target. I remember seeing all the ads and waiting for months for this store to open. And now there are two in San Francisco! I think there should be a Target in every neighborhood (I know crazy) just because their prices are lower than other "discount" drugs stores and their selection is great if not fantastic. Where I live if I need a 16oz can of soup for tonight it's $3.49. Oh, there's a sale at Walgreens and it's 2 for $5.00. At Target? $1.99 EVERYDAY! Why pay more for soup? Seriously. This store is smaller than most and some items are not available, e.g., shoes. Also, parking is pretty expensive downtown. Other than that, what's not to like? read more

This Target location is the best. I never fill out store surveys, but I did for this one after so many trips here. For being such a busy store, the people working here are always friendly and helpful. Praise praise praise to Miss Mary and all the other Target staff. They look like they like working there and like working with each other. I wish they all could get higher wages because the people working there go above and beyond. read more

This is my 1st review here on yelp. I was never the one to write review but, I went to this Target a few days ago and just now have had time to sit down and write a review. O just move here from Ohio. It is actually pretty nice, compared to back home Targets. I like the revolving doors. This is big city stuff and I'm loving it so far. I can find almost everything I need here. The employees are friendly enough. I don't expect superstar gold service or anything but, I would say it's a silver service . The make-up section is my heaven. Pretty good choices and enough,well stocked beyond the one back home. This Target is a goldmine in my opinion. But you know folks have a different standards. read more

I give this one star for the great employees and managers. They deserve a safer and cleaner place in which to earn a living. That said, this Target has been a disappointment for neighbors. I've seen blood, fistfights, fecal dropping, and people openly stealing items. (Literally, people opening up boxes and shoving non-purchased goods into their bags, in front of customers, without a care in the world.) The back electronics department is scary come nighttime. Not to mention the people shooting up in the men's room, which has turned into a lounge for the dispossessed. A failure. Progressively worse with each passing day. Horrifying. Target should know better. Target should do better. read more

Okay... I'm finally getting to do the review I've been wanting to do. After this review, I'll be contacting the corporate office to file a complaint. That's how BAD of service we got here. So my son had purchased a couple of Apple items from Target, as a gift to me, and one for his girlfriend. (Same item). I had no use for what he had purchased, it was some type of modem... and he changed his mind about giving it to his girlfriend (Ended up buying her something more romantic). So- he had two products that valued at $200.00. He couldn't find the receipt, but we figured that at least we could get a store credit, I mean, who can't find "something" at Target... right? This was during the Christmas season, so we went up to the returns desk and told them we didn't have a receipt but didn't mind taking store credit instead of the original method of payment. The first customer representative told us that we had to go to the electronics section of the store (which was in the very back), and a find a item that totaled $200.00, rather than being able to get an actual store credit. Well... okay. We didn't really want another "electronic" item at that particular time, but if that was the policy, who am I to argue it... right? My son and I literally spent well over an hour trying to find different types of electronic items that we could use, at the spur of the moment, that totaled the $200.00 exactly, since NO store credit was allowed, and we could ONLY exchange it for another electronic item. (Never had I heard of that policy before... but-whatever). After an exhausting search, we found enough items to total of the $200. The salesperson in electronics walked with us back to the return desk (in front of the store), gave them the "go ahead"- and then all hell broke loose! First, the returns desk employee who told us to go to the electronics section only, started to do the even/equal exchange, then her coworker asked her what she was exchanging, and she told him. He stated, "oh! That's not allowed! No receipt, no exchange or refund"! What?!??? So they go back and forth for a while, and then I pipe in and say, "look, we've been looking for an exchangeable item for well over an hour, based on what we were told by employee #1. Can we just make this exception, considering this was what she originally told us on arrival, and we've just wasted almost 2 hours here just for a simple return? He (employee #2) says "no. Sorry. Store policy". This- all while a long line has building behind us. So I asked to talk with the manager, who was actually standing there, and she too refused to do the even exchange, despite knowing that at this point we had been there now for two hours! We went round and round... of course I had to tell her that the return employee #1, as well as the electronics employee had both agreed on a "different" policy- etc. she continued to refuse, even though we continued to argue our case! I mean- seriously? They couldn't just easily make an exception, considering we were told different things, and had spent so much time in the store solely looking at electronics, because that's what we were told? The manager was adamant, stating that the employees didn't know any better, as "some of them were seasonal employees". Well, that didn't change our stance... and as we went round and round... she LITERALLY threatened to have us removed from the store for CALMLY arguing our point. We took names, got the number to corporate, and left. On the way home, we stopped off at the Oakland Target, and guess what!?!? Within five minutes- we had STORE CREDIT! UNBELIEVABLE! Needless to say, we were happy we stopped off at Oakland, but understandably disgusted at the SF Target for being soooo argumentative, and not just making the exception, because in the end... the money was going to be spent at Target, regardless! What an experience! What chaos! read more

Super large target. Not a ton of employees to help direct you. We purchased a lot of stuff and there was curb side help for carrying things downstairs. read more

Received not one, but TWO counterfeit $20 bills as part of my change from here one time...I was thoroughly heated to say the least. After bitching the rep on the phone out, I was pleased that they exchanged the money with no hassle. That is the only reason they get 2 stars. Of course I know it was probably going to be been hard to really prove the cash was counterfeit besides just having a receipt however I'm sure the tone of my voice and my direct eye contact when I bitched them out in person let them know I am NOT in the business to scam, let alone be scammed. I know SF is a very busy city but I cannot see how counterfeit money can pass SO easily through a company like Target. But again, I'm glad the issue was corrected with no hassle. I make sure to check all my large bills now. read more

Nasty staff. I was shopping in the beauty section for new concealer when I was rudely greeted by the staff there. Right away I was hit by stares and whispers by the female staff. I am a proud gay male but there I felt insecure and nasty in my own body. It felt like highschool all over again for me. The staff there don't do anything but shame other customers. Calling them "the fat guy from that movie" or "Look how ugly her makeup is" Never coming back. read more

So for all the STUPID people out there NOTE THIS: CITY TARGET : is LOCATED downtown, that is why the prices are so high. It's the same when you go to Walgreens downtown, When you go outside the city and into a surbrabn area then you will have cheaper prices. DUHHH PARKING- The building that Target occupied has been around for about 2 decades therefore there is no room for PARKING. . . WHERE the HELL are we gonna rip up a section of the city and put FREE PARKING HUH HUH !!!!!!!! ALSO there is this cool thing called GUEST PICK -UP, so you take your car to 4th and howard ( I know because I've down this countless of times) and they BRING THAT SHIT TO YOU. WOW some of these comments are just oh so dumb Also note we have all adult sports apparel downstairs it's called C9 read more

I'm a Target addict and this store being 2 blocks from the office has just upped my Target game. I was nervous cause it's a city target- would it have everything I needed? They answer is yes, and much much more. I've come here on work trips for just about anything random and they've always had it. The store is actually quite massive for being a "light" version of the other stores. I'm sure you'll catch me there 2/3x a week :P read more

They don't sell FANS!?!?!?! They have a whole fucking shelf dedicated to heaters, and none of them even have the option to be a FAN. I asked a worker there, why this is the case and was told it's because of the CITY'S Demographic. What demographic are you talking about? Last time I checked, I am the demographic! So is 3 other friends of mine who went there since it's opening to get a fan, that had to be turned away. It's fucking hot out, and you should sell some fans. read more

Yeah, so when I hear a co-working talking to a customer service rep on the phone who pretty much stated they should shop else where over trying to inquire about the availability of a fan is pretty much a new low. I've worked retail, in a call center and to hear an excuse that it is hot (yeah outside - i'm sure your building has AC) and hectic is no excuse to not help someone. I also don't understand that all the employees they talked to had no idea who their store manager was, or a manager on duty, that's is very alarming. Also refusing to provide a direct supervisors name is just insane. Hanging up on people doesn't help your customers either. Should do some training or hire more customer service oriented people. sad it's hot outside...... read more

i tried to order delivery for two days from now. same day delivery had a charge, but otherwise was supposed to be free. i spoke with customer service, and anything outside standard delivery is considered same day. so i selected 2 day delivery but they said that was same day, and not eligible for free delivery. i guess there is a reason why people choose Amazon over Target or Walmart. truth in advertising!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Ever wonder why, when your credit cards are stolen or duplicated, the thieves always go to Target first? That's because Target has a companywide policy to "never question a customer." Not even when that customer attempts to use 5 different credit cards and each one is declined. "Questioning" apparently includes asking for a photo ID. I will never shop at a Target again until the company implements security policies that protect their customers. My wallet was stolen from my purse in downtown San Francisco recently. The thieves very quickly started hitting stores, attempting to purchase $2,000 in gift cards. At Nordstroms, as soon as the first credit card was declined, they left the store. Same thing at Macy's and several other stores. However, when they went to Target, when the first credit card was declined, they tried another. When that one was declined, they tried another. And another, until they had attempted to charge on all 5 of my credit cards. These were not declined for "insufficient funds." There were fraud protection alerts being issued. I called Target and spoke with the supervisor of cashiers. She told me that Target cashiers are not to question a customer, no matter how suspicious. She also said there would be no attempt to look at security videotape to try to identify the thieves. I now have written on the front of all of my credit cards "Check Photo ID" but I'm convinced that Target cashiers would be violating company policy if they did that. Target needs to stop being so worried about embarrassing its customers and start taking a proactive role in protecting consumers. Join us in the real world, Target, where there are security checks at every turn. They're there to protect honest people and make it a little bit harder for thieves to rip us off. The thieves are well aware of your policy. It's time everyone is. And yes, I'm being snarky in checking the box "accepts credit cards" at the bottom of this review. read more

This target was so convenient, and had great things in the supermarket. Living in lower nob hill, it was my go to place to get everything I needed, including groceries. Often, they're shelves were missing things and they weren't well stocked, but it worked with my needs. read more

Keep in mind that this is a City Target so the selection is going to be smaller compared to other stores. However, I'm still able to find what I need. Location is great and lines aren't too crazy given the amount of traffic the store gets. Clean and organized. read more

I really liked this City Target. Located near my hotel, I loved the layout. This store has everything you need and customer service here was very nice. Prices here are normal Target prices, no uptick for being in the city. read more

Do walk right in and get on that escalator to heaven...with your dog! Did just that and the meeb enjoyed sniffing through the store. Great selection of men's clothes right now, hubby got an outfit. Nice to have an introductory $5 off coupon from target. I can always find a reason to stop in! read more

I depend on Target for my livelihood so this past experience has really been etched into my mind. If we are to say that the shopping experience begins prior to setting foot into the store and includes the steps it takes to enter say the parking lot to get to the store, well then, this Target at the Metreon fails miserably. The parking lot/area in general is over crowded it seems, at all times when you may be shopping (weekends, late afternoons/early evenings..) I was not familiar with the area prior to this visit and so even getting into the parking structure and maneuvering the one-way streets was a challenge. The parking structure is across the street from Target, so if you were to purchase a significant amount of items, it may take significant effort to get your purchases to the car. The store itself is 2 floors. Despite supposedly having a decent selection of items (per some friends), I still couldn't find certain items. The grocery section lacked the archer farm nuts and several up and up products. I'll give credit where credit is due though, and say that the bulk of every day household items, toiletries, and such are available. It wasn't likely that I would be able to lug 4 large target bags, a laundry basket, and a vacuum cleaner back to the car. Customer service will bring your purchases to the back of the store for you to pick up at the curb. I do appreciate that service. It's free of charge, so it's just a matter of finding that curb, ringing a bell, and waiting 5-10 minutes for your items to be brought to you. Park on Howard St. between 3rd and 4th. read more

Sweet location, run in fast and grab whatever you forgot to pack.

It is funny seeing all of the negative yelp reviews about how this target doesn't have as much selection, store features like "price matching" and higher prices compared to other Targets. You guys should really stop because this is a City Target. You might ask why City Target ? Well, the same reason you don't see a humungous Walmart in the middle of the city. Its because of rules and regulations protecting small business against these "one stop shops". So next time you want to complain that a City Target's prices are too expensive or doesn't have a shoe section while you're sipping your orange mocha frappuccino reflect on how the store not having these features is benefiting small business and in the long run you the consumer from monopolies. Just my .02. read more
