Wow this hobby lobby is ginormous! I easily could've gotten lost in here. It's also really clean and organized for the size I was super impressed. Lots of good sales going on too. Large parking lot makes it easy to visit. I stopped in to check out some fun dresser pulls but I needed a large amount that they didn't have in stock. I also checked out picture frames and found some hair bows for my daughter who's on her Minnie Mouse era and some cute mason jar cups. I didn't purchase anything bc I ran out of time but I'll def be back to this location for any and all crafting needs! They have custom framing services, blank t-shirts, kids toys, candy and accessories. As well as decor and furniture at pretty good prices. I didn't chat with any employees but I'm sure if I needed help it would've been welcomed. Next time I'll probably seek help to see if I can order more drawer pulls to be shipped direct to my house! read more

Well trained staff, they knew what they were talking about and I appreciate the knowledge They do not take apple pay, or tap to pay of any kind just physical card or cash. So I had to go back home and grab my card because this was a last minute trip for me and I didn't bring my big wallet I will be back at this location, great selection and price for value is awesome with all of their sale s read more

I love creating beautiful things when I do Macrame handbags, bracelets and necklaces. I also in my free time I enjoy arranging artificial flowers into centerpieces to place on my fireplace mantle. I decided since this Hobby Lobby Store is in very close proximity across the street from the Motel 6, I am currently staying in now , I drove over yesterday afternoon and check out their HUGE selection of Arts and Crafts, and Religious Plaques. I got to the Hobby Lobby Store at 1 p.m. when I walked into the front entrance I saw there was 3 cashiers ringing up their customers purchases. The first thing I noticed was this Hobby Lobby Store is very organized, clean store, and really HUGE! The Hobby Lobby Store has a great selection of arts and crafts items that I will never be disappointed or bored with nothing to do. I saw different size picture frames that are unfinished and can be painted with any kind of colored paint I chose . I also noticed every aisle is very neat and organized in alphabetical order. It's convenient for me and will save me a lot of time. I talked to some of their local customers yesterday afternoon. Their customers are very creative people like myself. Their women employees are very helpful and very knowledgeable and friendly to me in helping me find the things I need. The only item I bought yesterday was a Cross that has one verse in Corinthians. The verse says We walk by FAITH not by sight. In verse 2 CORINTHIANS 5:7. I agree with this statement. I have been a Christian all my life. God does answer our prayers! Hobby Lobby is a beautiful place to hang out at to buy things at affordable prices. read more

Today Christopher went above and beyond to help me look for Raffia I was so appreciative on how help full he was to me. It's nice she someone likes doing their job!!! read more

Horrible customer service! Katherine, Lay & Delila was not helpful at all I asked a specific question about fabric and Delila looked at me as if I were asking for a pound cake recipe! When inquired about the manager; Delila was interested in communicating at that point. No thanks, I will take it up with the manager. Katherine and Lay looked as if I was bothering them when I wanted to know where to find clasps/buttons, as if they didn't work in the store! Funny how a customer was MORE helpful, unlike the employees! Horrible service! :) read more

I Love Hobby Lobby, everywhere they are located. They have the largest selection of hobby supplies, art, painting, decorating, on and on. It is a huge store with endless variety of items to choose from. You will definitely have to ask for directions. They are heavy into holiday decorating. Every major holiday takes over the store. And seasonal decorating too. Prices are quite reasonable, and I've found many on-sale bargains there. If you can't find the hobbyist and decorating items you are looking for, they may not exist. My store in Oceanside is my go-to location. read more

I went to this venue for fabric. Here we are at the end of spring and their fabric selections were limited to cottons, & satins. I found one bolt of Poly/spandex mix which was attractive. I just Didn't understand why the fabric selection was so limited. I really wish North County had more options available for fabric purchases!!! read more

I must admit, I have always been a Michael's shopper. I have so many friends that have always said "You have gotta try Hobby Lobby! They have everything you need " I finally decided to check them out and they did not disappoint! The store is massive! I'm talking humongous! It's in the old Dicks building over near Tri City area! If they weren't closing, I could have spent hours there! I went looking for Christmas decorations and left with much more! They have so many different kinds of crafting supplies, jars, paint supplies, actual paintings, and even furniture! Who in the world would think of Hobby Lobby for furniture?! I don't think there is anything Hobby Lobby doesn't have! The store is super clean! Prices are competitive! The staff is friendly, helpful and overall awesome! They quite literally have everything you could want or need! Next time I'll take pics. read more

If you have a legit service dog watch out. I was shopping with my seizure alert service dog and there were three different not service dogs in the store all barking at my dog. Two of the dogs were in the shopping cart with one owner. DO Better Hobby Lobby!!! read more

I love the company and this store, but it is uncomfortable watching the store manager correct employees n front of customers.

Well I (stupidly) decided to come in here again assuming that just maybe I might be treated like a human being this time and boy did Hobby Lobby deliver a steaming hot pile of disappointment yet again. I was planning on buying some planner paper and a string of glass beads, but browsed the whole store like I always do at these places. I was pretty much done but had to use the ladies room before checking out, so I asked the very unpleasant blonde female manager to please unlock the restroom and she outright accused me of stealing because the string of beads had rolled underneath the pad of paper in my handbasket as I carried it while walking around. I was absolutely flabbergasted and when I showed her that everything was STILL IN THE DAMN BASKET, she didn't even so much as apologize to me for making me feel like a common criminal. She has the demeanor of a person that can not accept that they are ever at fault, she totally acted like I DESERVED to be falsely accused and profiled. And you call yourselves a Christian company.... Real Christian attitude that unpleasant crone has got.... read more

If I could give zero stars I would. Item had a reduced sticker on it and the cashier thought it was too low of a price (4.56) proceeded to call her manager Kelly over and Kelly proceeded to tell me they couldn't honor the price of the sticker and was tearing the sticker off of the item in front of me. I told her it was absurd to not honor the price it was at and she just kept taking the sticker off (which was difficult) She also insinuated that the sticker was on the floor and "someone" put the sticker on. Aka me which is such a weird comment to make as a manager. I've never seen such an incompetent manager. Who tells a customer they can't have an item at what it's listed at when her employees were the one that put it there. 100% reporting to corporate because it's so wild someone would do that. read more

I had a refreshing perfect retail experience. The store was clean and well displayed. The staff was courteous. Most of all, I received outstanding service from a gentleman named Sam in the framing department. He was kind, generous with his time, thorough and a true delight to work with. My day was made better by his service. Thank you, Sam. read more

First, not so sure why there so many negative reviews. I have found this tore to be great. It is located in a nice area and the store itself is always carrying so many really cool household products and is very clean. The customer service has also been very friendly. In fact, once they let me bring my dog in with me (emotional support animal) and a group of us carried her around with us (on a blanket, in a shopping basket) hehe. The last time I went we were looking for a lamp and a table, and we found so many different things to look at for decorating or homes such as wonderful sculptures (which my mom bought), canvas photos (omg, I love them so much), shelving, mirrors and so many different types of throw pillows (bought one of those), and they even had some food (little chocolate bars) which we bought. I find this place actually very soothing. There is so many things to buy but also a lot to just look at for future decorations and ideas. They did have a very very long line and we had some issues with purchasing using a credit card. We had a to hold up the line a while and not quite sure what was going on, so that is my only reason for the 4 stars for now. I might update this when i go back again. read more

I love this store!!! It's like my artist inside of me dream come true. It's is quite overwhelming though. Very overwhelming because there are tons of decorative things for your house. It's hard to spend time here because you'll need a full day. If you're into crafts and arts this is your store you need to visit. Also good for decorating your wedding, baby shower, room, etc. everything. read more

Natalia the manager is so rude & just horrible. Also Natalie the cashier! They were so rude! I really needed help finding something & Natalie called the manager Natalia who just so put out she wouldn't even try to look it up & it was out of the question for her to walk over & help me find it. Not very Christian place in my opinion read more

I started going in here when the Michael's framing department took a major downward spiral. The framing department at Hobby Lobby with Elizabeth, Sam, and the other gentleman, who I forgot to get his name, have been absolutely spectacular. The frames are always reasonably priced, the quality is top notch, and they get the pieces back quickly. Other parts of the store are usually well stocked and organized. The staff around the store are always kind and knowledgeable. Definitely a great place for framing and crafting needs. read more

Do not go to this store! Cashier and store manager were complete jerks! Came to return wooden clips (4.99) with receipt and was told I couldn't get a return because the cashier who rung it up typed it under the wrong department and they couldn't verify that was the correct item. What in the world?!?! And that is my fault?? It clearly was on the receipt for that price. Do better HL! I spend lots of money in your store as you can see from my receipts. Won't be shopping at this store again! Go to San Marcos! Oceanside is horrible read more

Oh my once you enter the store, which is nice and clean but be expected that the Customer Service it's horrible the managers and employees they will follow you everywhere you go harass every single customer that comes in is a prospect robber according to them they smile at you But they follow everyone and accusehim or stealing. I was standing not touching anything just standing there looking at all options in one aisle open aisle and this manager came cross in front of me student front of me moving things with a reason and then left was trying to harass me. I couldn't make a decision of what to buy so that's exchange for them. I left, I left crying because they made me feel like a piece of shit. Do not go there. There is a couple of Karen's there and associate and manager that they just whisper the smell like you but they calling everybody so they can follow you and check to see if you accused you of stealing never seen that. What's wrong with this people? read more

Customer service here sucks if I am being completely honest starting off with fabric lady marked wrong price for 2 yards of fabric which were supposed to be 10.78 but put them as 10.99, once I got to the register the lady said she was confused and that's when I realized the price was off and told her what the price should be she called off here manager and ask the cashier what was wrong and the lady said I was wrong. The manager the looks at my fabric price and tells me it's only off by one cent and then brings me to another person and then does the actual calculations and was like oh it's twenty cents, annoying honestly. Also bought a wireless charger which happened to be a display only, which the manager starts looking for the actual product in the register and then starts acting a bit crazy because someone moved them to the office and we waited about twelve minutes to get the charger and they didn't even give it to us we had to go up to them and ask for it (it was already paid). It was annoying and the way they rudely acted towards me when I was never rude to the original cashier nor to any of the other works. I know some of you will read this and say it's just twenty cents but at the end of the day it's how they run the store if I was a different person I would have made a scandal about it, I love hobby lobby but will never return to this location and I know some of you would not like to be treated like this either, no one should treat another the way I was treated here period. I do recommend the San Marcos location they have always been great to me! read more

Hobby Lobby - Where the fabric is marked at wrong price - Arts & Crafts Near Me - Oceanside, California

I would give no stars. I have never in my life thought a Christian based company would racial profile and harass an innocent woman with a three year old child. They assumed and accused the child of stealing a candy off the shelf. The mom had her child in the cart the whole time. There was no way the child could have stolen the candy bar. The cashier would not let the mom explain and show her receipt of the candy. Two employees held her hostage and would not let her leave the store while they checked the camera. The mom had to have a stranger go to her car to get the receipt of the candy. The mother was in total destress. After they reviewed the cameras and saw the child did in fact walk in the store with the candy they let the mom go. The cashier who rudely accused the mom of stealing would not analogize to the mom. The mom is a widowed woman and is raising two kids on her own. There is a police report filed. She had a huge panic attack and had to go to the urgent care for treatment. I will no longer be a customer to a company who allows harassment and racism while claiming to be a good Christian company. read more

This store is brand new. It is very large, clean and has a ton of decor. If you love fake flowers, fabric, candles, holiday items, jesus stuff and much more, then this is your place. They had a lot of sales going on. There was many employees in the store but no one offered assistance. They are closed on Sundays. I don't think I will be back. read more

I was going about my purchases until my cashier was trying to convince me that I shouldn't purchase an item that I requested to see.. I waited for the employee to return from the pile of valuable things all locked up in the back. And as I waited the cashier said, " oh your not gonna want those color pencils.." and I proceeded to say, "you don't know what I want? " Someone needs to mind their business read more

Lots of options to choose from for all your hobby needs. Clean store, well displayed items, fair prices, convenient location.

A friend recommended this store to me, and it made me wonder why I've never been. I honestly like it so much better than Michael's. When you walk in it's huge, clean, organized, and you have a wide selection of things. You can pretty much say it's like comparing a Target to a Wal mart. I got my bridesmaid proposal cards from here a few months ago. Also some calligraphy pens that were on sale. Last time I came in I went to look for some baking supplies, and Christmas decor. Love coming here for all my hobby needs! read more

Love the prices and massive variety of this place and the owners love the Lord making it a pleasure to support them shopping there.

Terrible customer service, if you want to get treated like a decent human being do not come to this location . Every employee that works at this hobby lobby, from the store manager to the assistant manager to the cashiers to Teresa are so rude and will talk over you. I Will not be returning to this place ever. read more

Hobby Lobby is the bomb! I have to warn the reader in advance that when you go into this store, you think you will spend 20-30 minutes and end up being there for hours! I really liked the way this Hobby Lobby was structured. The middle is primarily home decor and the side wings have extensions (the right side had toys, a spring collection, crafts and the left had specific motifs like Christmas, beach, etc) I could see that people are constantly attentive and often restocking and cleaning up. They always have great sales and if you happen to see something where you do have to pay full price then there are coupons online (one per order.) read more

I love Hobby Lobby but this location is terrible. The customer service is appalling. They still have all the inventory that anyone could ever ask for but the staff is just the worst. Every experience from the person on the loudspeaker announcing that it is almost closing time to the staff at the registers are either rude sounding or just make you feel like you're inconveniencing them in some way. I even emailed a question once to the store and my reply was short and curt sounding. I generally just avoid this store and either go to Michael's or Joann's or visit the San Marcos store. I encourage people to still shop at Hobby Lobby, but beware of this location if you need customer service. read more

Had a horrible experience with their customer service. I asked the manager about the sizing for some wooden slices I wanted to purchase (I wanted slightly bigger ones). Obviously it's understandable that shape and size slightly differ because they're made from real tree slices, but they're also priced by (large, medium, small). So I wanted the bigger ones, instead of helping with that the manager Kelly (tall, thin, blond, older about 60s) says to me "well they're trees, trees grow in different shapes and sizes" as if to insinuate I'm stupid and don't understand that. I just chuckled and said "that's nice, very nice thing to say". I am truly appalled, I worked in customer service for 6 years and if I ever spoke back that way to a customer, I would've been out of a job. Very disappointing after so much money we spend here. read more

This was my first time at Hobby Lobby, and I thought it was a funny place with aisles and aisles of: crappy overpriced decor, low quality art supplies, craft supplies for old ladies, and an entire aisle dedicated to crosses and Christian decor. And I've never seen so many plastic flowers. They have sales, but their home decor has items that are so overpriced to begin with, that it's not a good deal. But the store is well organized and clean, and the location is good with plenty of parking. read more

Well my mom died a few days ago I went to hobby lobby to buy stuff to brighten up our room I had some money spend and I picked stuff only from sale tables being I just spent money on a funeral I went to cashier paid her in 20's where she spent at least ten min telling me my money wasn't real ? By her looking at it ? Not only was I embarrassed but I felt harassed . I said umm I just got my money from the atm she stated she understood but it wasn't good money ? I was pretty mad I felt like because I had tattoos she thought I was a criminal ?then she looks at it again and says it's reAl ?!! Are you a bank teller lady ? After I left I was looking at my receipt realize I didn't get any sale prices ? I drove back for them to tell me not everyone was on sale on the tables ? Clearly the sign states it is ? Bad customer service read more

Very poor product selection, zero customer service and horrible prices. How is this place in business?

I absolutely love hobby lobby but I have never experienced such poor customer service. I purchased a small amount of items and I was charged wrong and it added $90 to my purchase. I noticed after the purchase and waited in the return line for about 25 minutes and then was told I needed the items to make sure I wasn't stealing anything. I had to go back to my car to get the items and then the cashier was helping someone else. I insisted assistance from someone else and then two people helped but were unclear of the issue. I was charged wrong and the transaction wasn't voided. After so long I got my money back. Seriously debating coming back. read more
