Heath Newsstand - interior entrance
Cecilia M.

What a delightful nook of beautiful paper goods, gifts and snacks from around the world! It is so well curated and a range of lovely things to peruse through. Well-made products and items here. Costs are moderate. Check the sale rack for deals! Bought a t-shirt from the sale rack for $25 - it's has beautiful SF icons and printed on a super soft cotton tee. As a graphic designer, I think my favourite gems here are the publications: the book and magazine selection is a designer's dream! Printed beauties from around the world that pulls you right in. The staff members stick to the front cashier area mostly, and were fast with the check-out process. Will definitely return if I'm in the area again!

Oh my goodness, a newsstand. I thought DeLauer's on Broadway in Oakland was the last of a dying breed where people are allowed to browse an endless collection of periodicals without being scolded for not buying any. Before the internet, that was how I bided my time on a lonely Saturday night when everybody else was at the sock hop in the gym. But now all these years later, Heath Ceramics has decided to open a new space adjacent to their showroom in the Mission to produce a stronger sense of community. It's quite glorious as I had presumed the print industry was on a major decline and magazines were merely relics of the last century like pet rocks and chia pets. I still think it is, but you certainly couldn't tell from the exorbitant number of newspapers and magazines presented here. It's astounding and all in a clean modern space that complements the upscale Heath brand. They offer snack items, beverages, greeting cards, and even flowers as any world-class newsstand would (photo: http://bit.ly/2K5WYKH). No pottery purchase required.

I love this place so much, especially with their collab with golf le fleur. If I could, I would def work here just because the people are nice and I could just read while working here. It's such a cool place I'm crying. If Heath Newsstand workers are reading this, let me know when you guys are hiring and I'll apply

Heath has created yet another wonderful, ascetically beautiful and creative environment with Newsstand. Bought some great, hard to find European art magazines here over the weekend. There are lots and lots of great magazines, books and newspapers here and they're very cool with you browsing and immersing yourself in their sizable inventory of inspiring things. It's a great place to spend some time.

The highlight of this newsstand was the different travel books it stocked! Just a little place next to Heath Ceramics with magazines, books and gift items. Loved it!

Brought a pen from this store. Didn't see the name until i got back from the office. This item is offensive.

Lovely little bookstore/newsstand next to Heath Ceramics in the Mission District. I bought two travel books for my next trip!

First went to this place for the opening event and had a great time...rumor has it that maybe more…read morelive acts will happen in the future, and that sounds really fun! I didn't have my card with me that night, so I came a few days later after work. The craft market was bustling pretty hard that day, but the shop girl, Courtney (ps anyone who has the same name as me is a+!!) made sure to give me some good recommendations. I walked away with a really cool food focused zine (Remedy) a San Francisco zine (Wonder & Wander) and a hilarious red hot chili peppers fan fiction zine. Courtney recommend a few others, but I grabbed all my lil bag could carry. Despite the small little store front, I felt like there was a pretty good mix of things to look through. A lot of feminist lit, lots of political stuff, travel, food, and just general aesthetically pleasing things. I told her id be really interested in reading more queer zines, (they definitely have some!) and she assured me that she cosigns in small quantities to keep the shelves fresh and to date. I really enjoyed the market itself, but this newsstand is definitely a gem and brings a lot of community to a place where some locals would consider a tourist trap. I look forward to seeing The Grand Newsstand soon!!

This is perfectly awesome small 'zine, poetry and art kiosk right off of market street by that…read morepublic market thingy they do. This is a walk up kiosk by justin herman plaza/fountain and thus you will not be driving here. This is however, one of the most walkable parts of one of the most pedestrian friendly cities in the world so you have about a half dozen non driving ways to get here from around the city. This is the business inspiration of one local artist (it's the woman running behind the counter) and it sells art. It's in an re-purposed ticket booth and as such it's super tiny. There is no interior space so you'll be browsing via the sidewalk. Small whimsical locally produced self published pamphlets (hereafter referred to as 'zines), buttons, patches, cards and suchlike. The written items focus on various themes-love, city life, humor etc. are the stock in trade, made both by the owner and by other local artists. Pricing can be as low as a couple of bucks for a tiny booklet to 20 ish for a full size book. This is a perfect place to get some unique, local art/spoken word items and to find a little inspiration.

I was on the hunt for a specific magazine that had Lady Gaga on it. I went to every supermarket in…read moreand around my neighborhood, called up all the local bookstores, and even went to Barnes & Noble outside the city. Nobody had it. Couldn't buy it online. I found Smoke Signals on Yelp and gave them a call and asked if they had it. "Yes, of course." Of course?? I drove right over and he had a whole stack of them waiting for me. But although I got what I came here for, I took my time perusing his expansive collection of magazines. absolutely incredible inventory. You have magazines from all over the world, limited editions, special editions, etc. The fashion collection alone is a collector's dream. He has it all - business, politics, sports, cooking, hunting, tabloids, adult magazines. If it exists, he probably has it. Of course, he also has a pretty wide variety of newspapers, and a section full of cigars. This is one of those stores that are just so niche, which makes them really special. I will be sure to buy any magazines from here in the future, instead of some big-box store. Check it out! You'll be sure to find something you enjoy here.

I used to have to fly all way to New York to browse great magazine selections but I no longer have…read moreto! This place feels like a little piece of New York in SF, I LOVE IT! So many cool magazine options and truly a gem! They have a HUGE selection, and they accept digital payments such as apple pay!
