If you're looking for California or San Francisco souvenirs, this is the place! Everything you can think of. Sweatshirts, hoodies, tees, hats, key chains, mugs, tumblers, shot glasses, refrigerator magnets, and a lot more. Street metered parking.

Wharf Outdoors has a lot of fun stuff in their shop. I was happy with the amount of options and found a lot of great stuff to take back for friends and family as gifts. However, I was very disappointed when I got back to my hotel and realized that a few things (nothing major) a few pencils that said SF, and a compact mirror that said SF as well were not in my bags with the sweatshirts and coffee mugs I bought. I have tried to call the shop SEVERAL times, no one ever answers the phone just rings forever! So I am giving them 1 Star because I didn't get everything I purchased, they didn't give me my receipt when I spent so much money, and they don't ever answer their phone.

A huge gift shop at the Fisherman's Wharf. You can find almost anything SF here...and it opens late. Big bonus for tourists.

Love REI, have been going to them for a long time since I was young. Recently got hiking boots and…read moreother equipment here for a 6-day backpacking trip doing AV4 in the Dolomites; really enjoyed the service here! I spent multiple hours trying new boots on and the staff was patient with me, giving helpful advice for which one to potentially select. All of the staff I've encountered here have been very knowledgeable and are all experienced hikers/climbers from what I can tell. When it gets more crowded in the store it can sometimes be a bit hard to flag down a member, but once you're able to see them they are usually pretty helpful. The store also has a wide variety of equipment, and I feel fortunate that I live near one that's not far away. If you're looking for camping/hiking supplies, then this is the place to be as they usually have anything you might be looking for. Great store and brand, also love the return policy!

He was super patient with me as I tried on about 5 different pairs of shoes until I found a pair of Keen's. Parking lot in back of store. Be careful of locking your scooter/bike outside. I was leaving the store and a guy was using electric saw to take a scooter. Security guard just came out and said bro what are you doing?! He rode off into the streets with that scooter.

This was the OG Nike town store. It's mainly a tourist trap Nike store. They have a decent regular…read morecollection but you won't find any hot shoes from release day drops. You'll probably find better shoes down the block at Shoe Palace lol. The service here is hit or miss. Sometimes there are a lot of workers to help but most of the time it's hard to find someone to help you. The best thing is the customization area where you can make a custom hoodie or shirt. Too bad it only says "San Francisco" for their designs. It should have other Bay Area cities but I get it... it's made for tourist. I won't be coming back here anymore.

Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience. The store had very limited inventory, and…read morethey do not accept returns or exchanges--even within 60 days. We were told by Alex that only Nike online handles returns during that timeframe. I'm attaching a picture of our barcode because we initiated the return online already and he refused to scan the barcode and said we had to return it online. Although clearly it says on the barcode return to store. We've spent thousands at Nike this year, and when we needed an exchange within 45 days due to defective seams, we were directed to handle it online instead. This was during the holidays, which made it especially inconvenient. Customer service was lacking (Alex), and the issue was not handled with care or flexibility. They didn't even try to help.

The Columbia Sportswear Employee Store is a major win, especially when you're flexing 40% off…read more Mountain Hardware may not be the flashiest or trendiest brand out there, but the quality speaks for itself. I walked out with snow gear that feels like it could realistically last me the next 20 years. Great value, solid selection, and the kind of pricing that makes you feel like you beat the system a little. *Invite Only* although they do have public events.

Invitation only, we have not been here in a while. See…read morepicture for "Year Round Access" for exceptions. Quality/Quantity - Good, I like 2 of their 4 brands here. My favorite brand is Mountain Hardware. Bought two heavy duty ski jackets, one in blue and one in black. I plan to return one after I try it on at home with my other outfits... Because this is an employee store, do not expect to find the latest and greatest. But they are improving with their inventory selection IMO. Fairly consistent business while we were here both days. But then again, we also get to travel on off peak days and times. I would NOT want to come here on weekends. Atmosphere - Must go through security to enter the parking lot. Plenty of parking. Must check in with security to enter the store to shop. Open 7 days a week from 10am or 11am to 8pm. See my picture or Yelp. Very dog friendly; see picture. There were at least 3 customers here today with dogs?!?! Service - These two visits were good. Price - Ski jackets were $350 ish... but with the 40% off and an additional 10% off, I got them for $225 each! Good deal. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1938; thank you for inviting others to join your employee store. I appreciate the additional discounts.

I cannot recommend Carolyn and Go Figure highly enough. When I called to make an appointment to…read moreshop, Carolyn invited me to peruse their website and let her know which pieces I was interested in trying. I did this, and when I arrived all the clothes that had caught my eye were ready and waiting for me to try them on. Trying clothes on at Go Figure was the first time in thirty (yes, 30) years I actually felt comfortable, relaxed, and hopeful while trying on clothes. I was delighted with every aspect of the experience, and went home with more clothes than I had ever purchased in one shopping trip in my life. In addition to being thrilled to actually find clothes that fit me, were comfortable, and I thought looked lovely on me, I was overjoyed to be purchasing used clothing. I prefer to purchase nearly everything second-hand, both for environmental and economical purposes. THANK YOU, Carolyn (and please pass on my thanks to your colleague, whose name I am sadly not recalling at the moment), for the most positive, supportive, encouraging, and productive clothes shopping experience I have had in over three decades. I will definitely be back!

It is a great environment for women who don't like to shop at department stores because it's hard to find their size or they feel uncomfortable trying things on. She has four rooms with multiple racks of beautiful clothes in sizes L to 3X and 16 to 24. They are high end brands that she has found at resale shops throughout California. She has brands ranging from Citron, Uru, Dressori, Cocoon House, just to name a few. If you are looking for a one of a kind shopping experience with your very own personal shopper, this is the place to go!
