A hidden treasure! They have a range of high and low end stuff and it's all really unique stuff. However the store is pretty small and if there are more than two or three people in the store it can get crowded. Also you have to really be prepared to look around to find stuff as the store is packed. Still worth a shot to find something a little more unique. read more

Oh, this place is absolutely adorable! I love their clothes, jewelry and household items! I have yet to purchase anything from here, but I will very soon! read more

I love Picnic and wish I could give them more stars but their customer service is an atrocity. The women who work here are either PMS-ing or... i'm not too sure. I've been here a couple of times and have bought stuff from them but there was only ONE time where they've been nice and friendly. They usually don't greet me and when they do, there's no follow up. I agree with everyone else that I feel like I'm being closely monitored; it's too bad this place is so cute but I'd rather go somewhere else where they know how to treat customers like Therapy. read more

This is one of my favorite neighborhood stores. It's rare that I walk out of here without finding something I really like. Prices are reasonable, esp compared to other boutiques where you won't find tops less than $130. Some of my favorite label discoveries here are Talla and Soda Blu. They also have a wide selection of Made stuff. read more

Really cute store with a wide selection of unique clothes at all price points. You'd also be hard pressed to not find a great gift for a girlfriend in here. My only complaint is their customer service. I went in on a slow afternoon and was the only customer. I couldn't get a hello, a do you need me to put this in a dressing for you, do you need another size, or a goodbye for the life of me. Luckily, their snooty attitudes don't translate to snooty prices. read more

Randomly walked by this shop and thought I'd stop in to look for a gift. Great god tables for home and accessories or the kitchen maven on your list. I was taken with the jewelry selection--a wide variety of rings, bangles and necklaces, ranging in price. I found myself straying from my holiday shopping list and wanting to purchase a few pieces for my own use. Really liked the initial necklaces and the dainty gold rings. A great selection of accessories: unique fingerless gloves, cosmetic/pen bags, socks and such. The array of baby items was also noteworthy--things you don't typically find. Lastly, so many "California" and special San Francisco items --pillows, mugs, ornaments, posters, bags and more. I will definitely be back for gifts again soon. (I did not shop any of their clothing items, but saw a few cute things!). read more

Good place to find one of a kind tops or bottoms. Service is good and the jewelry is very nice!

i just love this place! It's a bit expensive sometimes, but their stuff is unique, super cute and is good quality. Kinda reminds me of Etsy or ModCloth. Just love. read more

I really want to like this place more than I do because it is super cute. However, I can't like it all that much because every time I try anything on there, I get really pissed off at whoever it is that designs their ridiculously sized clothing. I am a size 8. I am well-proportioned, a little bottom heavy, but nothing out of the ordinary. Everywhere else in the world I can wear a medium. But Picnic seems to exist in a vortex where a size 8 person can't even fit into a large. I would think this was just me if I hadn't taken my sister the size 4 there. She could fit into the larges, but barely.Seriously, who are these women who can wear these clothes? They must be miniature. read more

The cutest local boutique I've been in San Francisco. They always have unique stuff that you hardly find it anywhere. Don't be shy to ask if you don't know what you see. The owner and the girls who work there are friendly and so helpful. read more

I'm crossing my fingers that I come back cute and petite in my next life. If I do, I'm totally shopping at Picnic. Until then, I've got to be content just peaking in the boutique's windows, or fawning enviously over my roommate's most recent Picnic purchase (tunic-y tanks seem to be their specialty). Wish me luck... read more

Awesome place to buy original and cute gifts for others... or for yourself :-)

Easily the cutest shop in The Gulch. Clothes for fashionable ladies.

How do they fit so much in such a little store? It was a nice day and I was walking down Polk St. to pickup lunch when suddenly scent of new handbag lured me into the store. I fell in love with the cutest cotton dress. Picnic is a small treasure in the neighborhood. I'm gonna go back to see what I can find next! read more

Cute gift shop on Polk. Have bought many a unique and wonderful SF gift for out of town friends

Homey lil store with cute clothing line and trinkets and accesories. Everything is just cutesy in here with handbags to sweaters to tees and reasonable prices. read more

If I had more disposable income, I'd have a wardrobe stocked with Picnic's clothes and jewelry. But, alas, at this point, all I can do is window shop and buy the occasional top. The prices are reasonable and the store is definitely worth a visit. read more

adorable neighborhood boutique. yet, not something I'd go out of my way to go to if it weren't near my house. Their jewelry is adorable and unique. Prices are VERY wide ranged...from moderate to really expensive. They have a great Zachary Pryor collection there... see ZacharyPryor(dot)com for more information about him. I bought a pair of the earrings at Picnic and get compliments everytime I wear them because they are so unique. As is most of the things in Picnic. They seem to really cater to the fashion forward ladies...which is nice and they have a wide range of styles and colors for such a small store. Sadly, they are limited in the amount of items. They seem to try to have one of each size if possible on hand at all times. The sale rack is also very awesome. read more

This is yet another store I stumbled on by accident. I was drawn in because usually expensive little boutiques have nice perfume, and I have been looking for a perfume I actually like for a few years. They have Pacifica soaps, and perfume oils and sprays, and I have discovered that Waikiki Pikake is my new favorite scent. I keep going back to check out the jewelery. They have quite a variety of local artists and quirky little pieces. I went in once a week to almost buy a necklace that was made of metal, and laser carved to resemble two birds sitting on a twig, but alas, I couldn't justify spending $60 on a necklace. Some of the stuff is trendy, like old fashioned typewriter keys fashioned into rings, but I like that style. read more

This boutique carries Park Vogel and Made tees as well as To the Max, the more affordable cousin of BCBG.

This store is super-cute and fortunately/unfortunately located right in my 'hood! I've developed the unhealthy habit of "stopping by" here on my way to and from other places. They have a wide selection of prices and styles, and the people that work there are always really sweet. I only wish they had a more mainstream selection of jeans, but only because it would be so convenient if this were my jean place. read more

Cute boutique on Polk Street. I stopped in to see if they had any cute clothes or jewelry for my NYE outfit. They carry a lot of cute clothing, scarves and accessories. I didn't care too much for the clothing as most of them looked kinda big but I was more interested in their accessories. They carry a lot of one of a kind rings and necklaces. I got a nice silver necklace for $35. A little pricey but it looked like a one of a kind piece. They also have a sister store next door for "living" and home items. read more

Cute boutique with unusual stationery, knickknacks, kitchen goods, and fun baubles on one side, women's clothes on the other side. I would come again and look at the clothing and jewelry more closely :) read more

This is a well curated botiquet. I cannot wait to return when not in a rush. Great stationary and home decor items in addition to jewelry and clothing. read more

Skinny jeans, dresses, camis, jewelry, enough said. Constant compliments from the pieces I find here. $40 - $120.

Really cute boutique shop and great for gifts. I love to stop by whenever I am passing by Polk St.

Darling store/boutique on polk street. I always come here for presents for friends. They have clothes, houseware, stationary, brick-a-brack -- that perfect little something for a bestie, girlfriend, coworker, sister, cousin, etc. read more

Fantastic little shop with a nicely edited selection ot tops and dresses. I am a big fan of 'pete' tops, which Picnic carries and of their slightly quirky pieces. You really feel like you are getting something special when you shop here. Sales staff is mellow and (bonus) the dressing rooms are huge. read more

Update! While I still haven't found any clothes I love here, they have great accessories and gifts. My favorites are their scarves (around $24 each), legwarmers and tights (around $8 each), and their huge assortment of jewelry. They have a lot of unique-looking necklaces, charms, and rings, and while they're pricier than going to a generic accessories store in the mall (most or all of the necklaces are $30+, I think), they're really cute and they have a very personal, unique feel to them. Lots of great gift ideas here for your girlfriends. read more

Absolutely love this place! its soo cute and is a lot cheaper than anthropologie. There is a wonderful collection of random home decor, its a must stop! :) read more

I love everything at this store but I bought a gold necklace here which snapped in half a few months after buying it. I went into the store to see what they could do and the lady basically said I'd have to pay to replace the whole chain - extremely unhelpful and couldn't stand behind their line. It was such a shame because I went in planning to spend more money on a birthday gift, but just walked out with a sour taste in my mouth instead. read more

This is one of those stores you get totally consumed in and can pass a good hour away looking through the rails of gorgeous clothes, the unique Jewellery, quirky home accessories and great gift options. This will be a regular place to indulge myself and to find gifts for others! read more

i have been a loyal customer of picnic for the past 4 years and never thought of writing them a review! picnic is my first goto place whenever i need an addition to my wardrobe, or a gift for a galfriend. it has the most relaxing vibe and the cutest selection of clothes and accesories. The selection is constantly changing and they don't carry too many of each style, so it's almost like a treasure hunt each time i go. And if i hesitate, it's usually gone when i make it back! the friendly staff always say hi when i go in and are always helpful when i need them. And the best part is, you can spend however long you want browsing at ease without anyone tailing you! price wise, i have seen quite a few pieces at Picnic that are marked at higher prices at other boutiques. by now i'm used to people's compliments such as "that's so cute! where did you get it?" and yup, the answer is always "Picnic!" read more

I want everything in this store, especially the tops, sweaters and dresses. Unfortunately at the moment I can only afford to shop at H&M. However, note that Picnic does have pretty reasonably priced, cute jeans. Good place for little gifty things too. read more

Absolutely my Go To place for small gifts. They have tons of small designers, amazing trinkets, and yummy smelling candles. I have found some cute,cute sweaters during the winter . Usually when I go shopping for friends, I wind up browsing and buying something from their sale rack. Love this place ! read more

Been looking for a point two print of San Francisco in the city and finally found one in the color I'd wanted here. Sweet little shop and they were kind enough to have to grab a ladder to take the last remaining print they had off the wall and take it out of its frame and package it for me. Lots of wonderful San Francisco knickknacks as well! read more

This is a great store, so 4.5 really I got a great great, unique coat here and a scarf, which is the only piece of clothing that I've actually ever lost, much to my dismay. As well several shirts and t-shirts. They have neat clothes that are reasonably priced and always something new. It's an intimate friendly store, I love dropping in. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars because of the t-shirt I purchased there! The T-Shirt is of a Sailboat Riding a Donkey and it is brilliant! This place also has great unique jewelry! I once purchased a ring in the shape of an elephant from there and I am always getting compliments on it. I have also purchased a few dresses from there at extremely reasonable prices. It's also amazing they are open later because there is nothing worse than trying to stop by a boutique after work and having it be closed! This store is perfect for the busy Russian Hill girl needs a quick outfit or accessory! read more

Amazing little place with the cutest staff. :) Very inspiring and "must have" selection of small designers. Great for small gifts as well as nice clothing. read more

This place is the quintessential SF boutique shopping experience! I went there to pick up a gift and came out with the gift and a ton of stuff for myself! Adorable and organic baby clothing gifts. Really unique jewelry and clothing selection. Some of the jewelry is even made in-house! Can't wait for my next shopping trip there! read more
