They consistently had great materials, beautiful sheets of paper, and amazing staff. Friendly service, clean and well organized store, and a real community staple. It was always nice to see consistent faces and I was treated with excellent service with every visit. I loved the manager and hope the company was able to retain her. She's extremely competent at her role and it would be a shame for it not to be recognized! Wishing the employees all the best.

DiamondCore has some of the best pottery/ceramic tools in the business, and what a treat it is to…read morevisit the store in-person! I know potters, whether professionals or hobbyists, who swear by their products from across the world, so when I found out they had a store in San Diego... well, I had to stop by. First of all, the store itself has limited hours. They mostly run their business online, so make sure you check their hours before visiting. They are well-stocked with most of their items, and though there was only one employee, he was so patient with all my questions and willing to check the backstock for any items I wanted to take a look at! There are sample tools and swatches of every item they have, from their famous carving/trimming tools, handle extruders, glaze swatches, and even samples of bisque/finished pieces that have been sanded with their diamond sanding products. They also sell a healthy selection of Aardvark clays (both cone 5 and cone 10 varieties) and offer a discount if you buy more than 50 lbs. I bought 50lbs of clay, a couple of carving tools, and a variety of sanding pads. I wanted to get a set of their diamond sanding discs as well, but they were completely sold out after the holidays. I think I'll be buying those online, but it's really nice to be able to see everything in person before purchasing!

There is a lot of parking out from the store. However, often all of the handicapped parking spaces are taken. The fact that Hobby Lobby does not provide family planning access to healthcare to its employees bothers me and I consider that policy when I am thinking about shopping here

In 2025, shelves were cleared out and there were broken items or Christmas trees up for grabs. Well, I now have a second tree lol! I could not pass up this deal!!! A $600 tree for $150?!? I was super excited because it looks real and is beautiful. I'm so excited to decorate at the end of the year. I was impressed by the girl at checkout. She wasn't flustered by the crowds. The tree I was waiting to get packed for me ended up being packed and sold to someone else due to poor communication. She immediately made sure I knew what else was available and any additional discounts she could ask about on my behalf. Loved that! They were putting out Valentine's day and St. Patty's day stuff in December. I thought this is crazy but I will definitely be there next week for the Valentine sales. I love all the coupons weekly and the variety of crafts. You can't go wrong at HL.

I had some issues with customer service though and left unhappy. There was a small line of three people. I was last. No one using self checkout. No one at the balloon bar. I asked a male worker if someone different is running the bar as I needed my balloons blown up and he said the lady at the register would do it. OK, no problem. I waited in line for my turn. When it was my turn, a woman came to the front and told the lady at the register to take her break. She greeted me and was ready to help me. We planned to start with getting the balloons blown up but the lady going on break said no, she needs to pay first. OK, no problem. The woman helping me told other customers who had formed a line behind me that self checkout was available. We finished checking out and when it was time to blow up my balloons, other customers needed help with self checkout, kept asking questions and she completely stopped assisting me to assist other customers. It was still my turn. She then told me she was going to quickly checkout a woman with a giftcard and someone else would be there to help me because she needed help to blow up the balloons and checkout customers. I let her know I had another place to be and was running behind schedule, that I waited my turn in line and would like her to finish assisting me. She said again that she needed help and wanted me to wait for someone else to come up front. This truly bothered me because why did I need to wait for the additional support opposed to other customers? Not only did I not have extra minutes because I was already in the store longer than expected but it was unfair to expect me to continue waiting to finish. I was made to pay in advance but service was delayed. I left. I returned Saturday morning to return the $20 balloons purchased and used balloons I'd previously purchased instead. Saturday morning customer service was great!
