If you order anything online, expect it to get canceled after the employees decide THEY want the item. I got a confirmation email to pick up my order only to find they later canceled it. this happens every time. The employees at this location are condescending and evil read more

Best place to shop for your crafty holiday needs.... Or really any of your crafty needs. I just stopped by to pick up a few fall accents for my house and they have all of their fall flower bushes 50% off! Still plenty of fall and Halloween items available, but the Christmas stuff is coming out for those who are ready to plan early. They also stock a bunch of candy for impulse buys next to the register. Got to say I was excited to see Cream Savers. Don't think I've seen them anywhere since the 90s and I have definitely thought about them since. Score! Sometimes it's hard to find somebody that works here, but everybody's always very friendly. I feel like they run kind of shortstaffed. read more

I needed a poster framed, and it was looking like an expensive endeavor working with the regular frames on offer. When I took the poster to the custom frame area, a worker named Mark suggested a better alternative glass frame that was cheaper and would also not cut off the artwork, which he thankfully mentioned as well. The whole process was made much easier thanks to his expertise. read more

I ordered items online using a coupon and my rewards (because I have spent many a dollar here) & an item was cancelled due to them "not having it in the store." I go into the store & I find it myself so I ask the manager to adjust the price of them item accordingly so it reflects the coupon AND my $5 reward as though they'd actually been able to fulfill it. I had to explain myself twice because she rushed me through my explanation & turned her back on me while I was speaking. Mind you, I bought 8 of this item and one is only like $4.99 so it would be adjust down to maybe $4. She said she can't do that, which is odd that a store manager can't make a one dollar price adjustment on a single item, but different companies have different policies I suppose. Based on principle I just asked her to refund the entire purchase. I only decided to buy here instead of Amazon because I had coupons but back to Amazon I take my hard earned cash. Be careful using your rewards cause you might lose them! Mine are just gone into the multiverse I suppose. I won't be going to the MV Michael's based on an eerily similar experience I had with an online order! Hmm... read more

I ordered at the counter a set of birthday balloons first wk of April. The employee filled out a sheet on a clipboard, had me pay & asked when I wanted them, which was May 30th, day of party. The MORNING of the party when I'm running to pick up cake, ice, etc. I called Michael's from my car & asked if balloons were ready. This was approx. 2 pm. The man on the phone said " we can't find it". Not sure what that means so I asked what I should do next? He gave the phone to a woman who said, "bring your reciept to prove you bought it." When I purchased the lady said, "you're all set, you don't need anything else, just show up and we'll have it ready for you". I have no idea where the receipt is 2 months later!! I had to drive home turn my home upside down & found it. Sped to Michaels where they had my ballons by the register. I walked up and said "hi, are those my ballons"? She said "yeah, here" AND WALKED AWAY. Because I'm the nicest person you'll ever meet rather than run out I wanted a reason for all this so I asked "do we know what went wrong" to which this lady who looked like the manager replied, "the lady who took your order was crazy, she doesn't work here anymore". What?!?! Super unprofessional. Manager didn't even look at my receipt or at least apologize. Horrible experience. I will NEVER buy my balloons from Michael's & will try & stear clear of any purchases in the future. read more

The employees here are what makes this place shine. We can tell that they have a personal bond with each other which makes them such a great team. They go above and beyond their roles to assist the customers. The manager took time away from her break to help me with an item. And on a previous trip each member was super patient as I fumbled my way through their website so I could put in an online order. Some Michael's have employees who wouldn't even help me find items in the store. Even though this one is further away, I do make the effort to keep going back to this location. read more

Such great deals, a wide selection of items and hobbies , it was clean and organized! and Ms. Chantan (I hope I spelled it right) is such a sweetheart, she was so helpful and my kids absolutely loved her! read more

For the many that like to work on hobbies and the ones that like create the fancy and the elegant oil paintings there is one place that has the great selection and the best prices for some of the best projects if you need something for the summer that Michael's is the great place to be. Going out on Friday and the day to have such a great day and the weather was a bit on the hot side was to take a look from going to one store and getting shoved over to another arriving at Michael's made feel so much better. With the Fourth of July coming and with the many shoppers is having to get things early going to Michael's getting greeted right when I came in the door and that told me they have great customer service. What is the one thing that you need to do cake decorating and its reusable and you can use it many times that comes with the m any tips? Yes, the shopping day I had to get things for the party and was having to look for toothpick flags and the pastry injector bags and the star which I was able to ask about over at Michael's. Meeting Rudy the manager of the store that was able to help me when I had described the things that I had needed he guided to the area that had the many cakes making and the decorating tools. The many selections they have and the helpful suggestions that Rudy had he was able to help with the many selections and some alternatives. The Michael's on Midway drive is one of the best and the size of the store it does look small yet when you walk through the door it does change the size and the length has so much more in stock and selection. With the pricing the and the many types of merchandise they carry you can find many things that are on sale and the many areas of the store have sales finding things for kid's crafts and the crafts for the adults. Michael's is known as one of the greatest art stores it does have a great candy part to it with the cake decorating, they do offer the many chocolates for the meltaway you can cover frozen and the covered fruit for the parties just like they have their own candy isles. Checking out just having to wait a few minutes to be greeted by a great cashier she was able to get me signed up for the shopper's discount and the many updates for the sales updates for the Michael's stores the cashier was the best and helped me and asked if I found all the things that I need. As a Yelp Elite Reviewer, going from one bads stored that had the worst welcome and there were no products coming to Michael's being greeted and welcomed and the store was stocked and well cleaned, and the many Isles and the crafts departments were stocked with merchandise. The great customer service that I had received from the best staff to Rudy and the managers at the Midway Michaels this has been one of the greatest shopping experiences my first time at the store. read more

I am a big crafter around the holidays. I enjoy making various decorations, ornaments and arrangements for gifts and for my home. Michaels has always been one of my go-to places, and this is my local, go-to Micheals. Truthfully, I am not sure what I would do without Michaels, as there just are not that many craft stores around. The store is arranged with seasonal items in front, frames and custom framing in back, and all of the other craft supplies organized in-between. Since we recently passed though Christmas and Valentine's, I have found myself at Micheal's several times. This Micheals is located in a small strip mall just off Pacific Highway, The mall isn't particularly attractive, but there is plenty of easy parking. Inside the store, they have both shopping carts and baskets. I think they usually have a good mix of holiday decorations and supplies. Generally, they have decent selections (but not huge) of most other craft supplies. I feel like since they have lots of different types of supplies, they don't specialize in any one particular type of craft, meaning that the selections are not huge. I do think they do very well with artificial flowers, and scrapbooking items. Things like candy-making, rubber stamps and macrame, are pretty limited. I used the custom framing once, and my item came out very nice, but my order was pretty simple. I would probably go to a custom framing shop for something more complicated. Staff is generally friendly. You are always welcomed at the door, and the cashiers sometimes help me find the right coupons. By the way, always check the website or mobil app for coupons. It helps quite a bit. My biggest complaint about staff is that sometimes I find myself searching for something, and I have difficulty finding someone to ask. All in all, this is a nice place to have nearby in order to get all of my crafting basics. If you specialize in something, you may need to go to a specialty shop, but for a basic crafter like myself, this meets most of my needs. read more

I am actually actively trying to support brick and mortar craft businesses, and this one didn't make it easy. I called in to see if the store had something before just jumping to Amazon (which is clearly the easier thing for me to do), but wanted to support this business. I called and the woman that answered the phone said she'd check the floor for the item and I proceeded to sit on hold for 20 minutes. I wouldn't typically wait that long, but I was at my desk working anyway and thought, "let's see how she plays this" and that was the result - she would have never come back. Amazon it is. Thanks guys! read more

Michael's for basic artist pencils, pens and sketch pads. If I need specific art supplies I'll hit up an art supply store but for a wide range of products at reasonable prices especially when on sale, this is a good spot. And of course they carry more than that and go well into the world of crafts, picture frames, fabrics, and more. I don't find this store messy as some have said. It's well laid out and stocked. It's got easy access and lot of parking. read more

This has been my local craft store for years. It's not great, but it does the job. Pros: usually plenty of parking, fairly good yarn section, coupons, good prices on clearance items. Cons: area is sketchy, can be long lines, low staffing, supply chain issues. read more

I came in to make myself a holiday wreath. Lots of selection, and happened that all the marigolds were on sale, so bonus value for me! Service was quick and the person gave me a heads up that they were open, which I appreciate because I get so distracted by all the wonderful shiny objects in store. Very clean and well organized in here too. read more

I deeply regret using Michael's framing service. My husband was a professional skateboarder back in the day and was published in a Japanese art magazine in 2014. He had one copy of the magazine and the prints are gorgeous. I took the magazine to Michael's on Midway and cut the pages out that I wanted to be framed. One of the pages was glued down on the WRONG side. These prints cannot be reprinted and that image is now gone forever. I was reimbursed for one of the pieces but I am very upset about it. I don't understand how a mistake like that can be made at a place where pictures are professionally framed. Unacceptable read more

Terrible service at the framing counter on the first of February how can you be so rude in a customer service job? We're not regulars at the framing counter and didn't bring in our art but that doesn't give you the right to be so rude to would be customers. We had such a bad attitude from the woman behind the counter just talking down to us we just walked right out. Fix your attitude lady! Don't take it out on us. Sorry you hate frames so much maybe work somewhere else. read more

This place is lame. Nothing I'm looking for is stocked and if it is you couldn't tell because the shelving is cluttered and worse than Ross. At best you should wander in for browsing rather than actually needing something. Ask for help? What help? Where? Oh you mean the scarce amount of angry "workers" hotfooting awkwardly by you like if they don't want to be seen? Or maybe the one person who bellows miserably at the door with a pouty "hello". No thanks. I'd rather scavenge on my own. Considering the social distancing, I get that the line would be staggered and slow but waiting around without being acknowledged in a thoughtful customer service scripted way sucks and it makes me feel like putting away the tiny, cheapy chingadera I wanted to buy. The supervisor walked by to check on the cashier who looked like they were struggling to fix some problem and instead of opening another register, they worked some magic on the struggling cashier's register without acknowledging the not so distanced line forming. Then like an awkward teenager who just left their grandma's garage, they sauntered off never to be seen again. I felt sorry for the cashier. She looked fairly new at the job and barely capable of ringing people up. I waited about 20 minutes behind only 3 people. By the time she got to me, she kept her eyes down the entire time and never greeted me. Her only signal was when she widened her eyes at me. Don't even get me started with how she didn't bother to wrap the small glass vases I bought. I asked her if I could have a bag and she just took a deep breath. Wtf! I'M BUYING GLASS. Fortunately I had a jacket in the car and I was able to nest them without breaking anything. Geez. No wonder the retail industry is dying. I guess ordering is the only way to go. It's sad too because I hate ordering items that I haven't taken the time to compare products or feel for quality. read more

I just left this store after attempting to buy black matt board and two pictures frames. The frames were advertised as Buy One, Get One Free (see pic attached), but once at the check out the nice woman at the counter was unable to make the discount work. She summoned a gentleman who said that it wasn't really the deal being advertised. I walked him to the shelf where the frames had been displayed, showed him the sign, similar frames and other frames all in that same section. The sign was literally hanging directly above the shelf of the frames I'd chosen! He pointed out that it was only a discount off the original price, as shown in the fine print, however the only, and presumably original, price shown was $19 -- he claimed it was something different (not shown). This is either a case of FALSE ADVERTISING, or the old BAIT AND SWITCH. In either case, do NOT trust this place!!!!!! read more

Michaels - FALSE ADVERTISING!!!!! - Arts & Crafts Near Me - San Diego, California

The older lady working at the framing department was incredibly rude. Took a while to get her attention, when she finally did notice me she seemed irritated that I disrupted whatever she was doing in the back. I brought my poster in to get framed, I was not familiar with framing and needed help with measurements and trying to figure out the price of custom framing. Instead of being helpful she very condescendingly remarked that custom framing was well over $100. She didn't want to help me measure it, she only did eventually so she could get me out of her general area it seemed. The framing departments at Michaels back in my hometown have been not only helpful and courteous, but also framed the posters for me. She refused to do any of it, she measured it for me and pretty much told me to bug off and figure the rest out of myself. I get working retail sucks and she may have been busy in the back. But talking down to your customers and being that rude and unhelpful is unacceptable especially when it's your literal job. read more

Guy on orange vest was following me around the store lol as if I was a thief. He was too close for my comfort everytime I was around the store he was lurking like checking on me. When my fiancé came in at the store I thought: I hope now he stops creeping me out! After I paid around $100 worth of stuff I don't need but just want lol. I noticed an extra item was in bad condition and the cashier who was nice said the manager can give me a discount for the destroyed item. The weird guy on the vest was the manager lol he seemed pissed off already and refused to give me a better price because he said it was already on sale and in front on me told the lady to just tossed it on the broken items section. The cashiers were so nice and welcoming. Just Get a nicer manager he is creepy Also fall deco wasn't in one general or nearby area...it was all over the left, center, far right I mean so disorganized. read more

Wanted to get a poster framed and brought a cut out that matched the exact size ( did not have the poster yet) and was greeted by Jenn. I get that you may have bad days and you might be stressed out but does that give you a right to talk down to your customers? This was my first time ever buying a custom frame so I had no idea how the process worked but holy moly was Jenn just super condescending and rude to me. Angie stepped in while Jenn went on break and helped me out. Thanks Angie! read more

Oh man, If you're going to go to Michaels go to the one in mission valley, I placed an order TWO days ago on the app and they were "so busy" it took them two days to process my order. Which was paint and paint brushes. And when I called they said "you already called this morning" ya. 6 hours ago and my order still isn't processed. I'm not waisting my time here literally ever again. I ordered 4 things at the one in mission valley and it was ready in two hours. read more

Once again, Jen in Framing at Michaels was extraordinary! This was my second incredibly pleasant experience having her help me frame a picture. This time it was for a dear friend whose decor was Southwest. I was a bit lost there, but she managed to come through with flying colors! As I shared previously, it is rare, especially these days, to find an employee who is so helpful, kind, and truly wants the customer to be pleased and happy. Jen is a stellar employee, and a wonderful example of the type of team member that I am certain Michaels wants to represent their business. Thank you again, Jen! read more

I love Michaels! I could roam around this store for hours happy as can be. They have every art supply you could ever need. They are constantly getting new & unique things for your home too.

5:23pm Monday 1/21/19 The hour and a half my fiancé were in the store it was clear they were highly understaffed. Minus our experience with our cashier (who was a lovely helpful woman, I didn't get her name) our experience was poor. Making the best of your shift when you are understaffed is tough-no question about it, I've been there before! But the rude treatment from the framing employee was just unnecessary. Firstly, we waited about 20 minutes (no exaggeration) behind two customers, one of whom saw the line of 5 people behind her patiently waiting and kept sending the framer back and fourth. My heart went out to him at first, but his lack of acknowledgment of the other customers or the effort to move the customer taking forever along politely was frustrating at least. Typically you can make subtle hints when dealing with someone who is a Time suck such as saying to the other customers, "hello there, I will be with you in just a moment." Instead he just pretended the line of people did not exist. When we finally got our turn after waiting now what was likely 25 minutes, he sighed and muttered, "I guess I'll never get my lunch break." Excuse me? I understand your frustration, but we had been waiting patiently from the beginning and when we finally are able to reach you that is how you great us? Typically I would start with, "Thank you for waiting, what can I do for you?" or "Sorry about that, etc." We clearly saw you were busy and you had our sympathies so to make us feel a burden to you is not okay. My fiancé felt so awkward he asked me if we should even bother but I felt we shouldn't inconvenience his life further (as he clearly had better things to do!!) I understand he likely just wanted his break (fair) but do not make your customers who have been patiently waiting feel like such a burden by sighing and letting them know you're a pain in their ass! Especially when you ignored them and doted on someone else for an uneasily long period of time! More training, more staff, and hopefully a good talking to with this guy. Hope the man finally got his PB&J read more

On June 17, 2023, I had the great pleasure of having Jen/Framing help me with a picture frame. It was not an easy task, as I brought in a framed picture that I wanted to be reproduced with different colored matting. Jen was knowledgeable, personable, and patient, and I could tell from our first meeting that she knew exactly what I wanted and how to accomplish it. She also kept me up to date on the progress of the task, which I so appreciated. When I saw the final picture, it brought tears to my eyes. It was exactly what I wanted and so much more. Simply beautiful, and it will mean so much to my dear friend, as it is gift to her, a poem about her mother who has passed. It is rare, especially these days, to find an employee who is so helpful, kind, and truly wants the customer to be pleased and happy. Jen is a stellar employee, and a wonderful example of the type of team member that I am certain Michaels wants to represent their business. Thank you so very much, Jen! PS Thank you Ari for always being such a delight to engage with! read more

GREAT JOB!!! I just picked up a painting that I had custom framed at this Michaels location and they did an AMAZING job. It was a sentimental and valuable oil painting and I was a bit nervous as it was vintage and fragile. It came out looking like a new painting!! The sales crew helped me pick out the frame and matte which looks beautiful. I highly recommend going here. read more

I've always loved coming to Michaels! Today, we came looking for artsy ideas for a baby shower. While they have a lot of random things that are generic to mix and match, they don't have much when it comes to a baby section. I wish they had all the flowers and vines in one section. In this store, they have it in three different sections, so we had to go back and forth to match up items for our color scheme. Good customer service! They were helpful when we needed assistance in finding certain things! Make sure you download their app so you can get discounts/coupons to save you some money!! read more

Meh....What can you say about this place. If they didn't put those coupons in the paper every Sunday or all over the web, this place would be the most over priced dump in all of Del Boca Vista. I had one of my frames damaged and went there to get it replaced and Yada, Yada, Yada, $79 later, I got my picture fixed. I'm sure it's not cheap for these frames, but damn....it just feels sleazy and underhanded the way they 60% off this, and 40% off that, and 50% of this and that. You know the markups are outta control when you see regular discounts with a 40, 50, or 60% attached to them. Unfortunately, as long as you are a guy with a GF, Wife, etc, you will be dragged into these Craft Hell Domes and be forced to breathe in the vile smell of potpourri as if it's being fed into your nose like an IV. On a positive note - Melissa, Melissa, Melissa! She is really awesome! Great customer service, really attentive, and super helpful. One day she'll realize what it's all about and she'll move on to a different company that doesn't make their customers bend over and take it when it comes to paying for a plexi-frame. read more

I would give zero stars if that was possible. As a former resident of this area, I thought I could call the store for help an online ordering since it is in bulk and for my classroom and I am located in Hawaii. I had explained to Betty that I had called the one 800 number and was not given a reply via email like I was told. She transferred me to another associate who did not introduce herself and asked how she could help. I repeated my story and told her I was caught off guard because I did not know I was being transferred to another associate. I would order in bulk for a class project and wanted to know if I could go through the store since the one 800 number did not give me an answer. She told me unfortunately that I would still have to call that number. I asked if I could speak to a manager and she told me she was the manager and still did not give me her name. I asked for her name and it is Gabby. The customer service here is a pourable over the phone and I only hope that those who come into the store are not treated the same way. I finally was able to receive a solid answer from the one 800 number from a more experienced colleague who said they cannot ship in bulk to Hawaii. Maybe everyone should be on the same page. read more

Maybe it's my fault for coming here during the week before Halloween, and expecting things like customer service or even representatives on the floor. I mean, it's crazy, right? Expecting to be able to find someone if you need help, or getting answers to your craft-related questions? We had to come here twice. The first time, we kind of wandered the store, hoping to find inspiration for my costume idea. We walked the aisles for a good twenty minutes before we found two materials that we thought could work. Then, we spent another fifteen minutes trying to find someone to stock about, since they didn't have enough of said items on the shelf. I kid you not, there was exactly one associate (who happened to be the manager) on the floor. There were two ladies working registers, and that was it. The store was busy - the check-out line was out of control. There were other customers there trying to find someone to help them, as well (I overheard many a grumpy comment while I was playing "Find the Friendly Associate"), but I don't think anybody was successful in finding that much-needed help. In the end, we pounced on one of the register women to get some help, and were summarily told that it's not in her job duty to help those of us on the floor. Basically, she worked the registers, and that's it! Having had enough of that nonsense, we bought what we could and high-tailed it out of there. The next night, we were back, with a better idea of what I needed and a keen desire to return the previous night's purchases, find that night's supplies, purchase and skedaddle in quick succession. However, the lady working the "Customer Service" counter got snippy at me when I asked her where I could return a purchase, and was rude the entire time she was processing my refund. Again, there was a shortage of workers on the floor, and the stock was severely picked over. I'm not exactly a fan of the Michael's chain - I go when I need to, but thank my stars that I don't need to so often - but I remember a time when helpful associates outnumbered the crabby ones, and when you could more often than not find what you were looking for. read more

Wow, great customer service! Adam put the blocks on hold and Ashley was incredibly nice. While she was ringing up our purchases another customer came up and complemented her for holding a n item for her. I had heard her earlier with a customer on the phone. She was so professional. Great employees!! Wish I lived closer! read more

Went for custom framing and ignored. There was only one person at the framing counter that was helping someone else and I set artwork down and waited. I didn't expect them to stop helping the people who were there before me, but I at least expected him to say "I'll be with you as soon as I can" or something like that to at least acknowledge I was there. I stood there for 15 minutes as other employees walked by and nobody said "are you being helped" or anything. It worked out in the end because I found a much better custom frame shop that was cleaner and had way better customer service. I had $900 in framing that they lost business on by poor customer service. Not to mention this location seems to be in disrepair. There was some loud open trench on the ceiling that looked like it was covered with thin plastic with noise coming from it (air or water being pushed through) over the framing department that looked like an accident waiting to happen. Overall very poor customer service and a building in disrepair. Would not recommend this location. read more
