This was such a cute shop! As soon as you walk in you feel welcome to explore. They have art, clothing, keepsakes and more.
We spent a good 15-20 minutes browsing through the shop and trying not to take everything home with us. The store is very open and well organized so you don't feel overwhelmed looking through everything and there is a good mix of funny, nostalgic, local and cute items that make it easy to find something for anyone you're shopping for including yourself.
There was a nice person behind the check out who checked in with us, but gave us the space to look through everything at our own pace.
I'll definitely pop in whenever I'm in the area to find some gems.Helpful 7Thanks 0Love this 8Oh no 0 - Elizabeth H.San Francisco, CA35Dec 13, 2023

I saw the Frida Kahlo socks online and made the trek to the store. I discovered other treasures when I got there. I like that they support local artists.

Representiń SF well with cute hoodies, hats, sweatshirts, T-shirt's- not just clothes but unique items that you can't find just anywhere. I got a Muni ticket hoodie for my BF, a rainbow sweatshirt for me, and a Castro magnet today. Scott was very friendly and welcoming to everyone who came in. SF is changing and needs all the help, representation, and love it can get these days. I'm proud to wear these goods collected by small local business owner Jenn. I will recommend Local Take to all my Friends and Family for great SF gifts!

The was a super modern, super sweet place to buy SF greeting cards, jewelry, soap, puzzles aka gifts. It was clean, organized and had mainstream t-shirts and hats that people would actually wear. The friendly employee told us 120 artists were represented but it wasn't cluttery, it was well merchandised.

I shopped on Haight, in Bernal Heights, Noe Valley, and on Valencia and this shop was by far the best. So glad I walked by it!

This is truly the best boutique/gift shop. I send so many people here! It's the perfect place to find a unique souvenir, get a special gift or treat yourself to a little something. The new location is fantastic. Beautifully curated, friendly staff, organized, wide range of prices. Not to mention the store is run by a true class act! Jenn is the best.

Every time I come here I find something so wonderfully unique and so deeply San Francisco. The range of products and prices means there is something for everyone. And such friendly service. A great shop!
Enjoy!Helpful 3Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0Mar 26, 2014Previous reviewThe name says it all.
This is some of the cleverest stuff on offer in the City, walk slower and take it in. There are so many categories of goods, so much for the eye to enjoy. Coming here, one gets a take on this burg that is at once attractive, clever, tactile and more. Just like SF. A great representation of San Francisco, the City.
Everyone I know loves this place, perfect for gifts (self and others) and a great place to bring visitors. My cousin Mary still talks about her visits here.
Always great and helpful service makes for a 5 star experience in retail.
Enjoy!
