Went to Davis for Woodstock's wilde bread and looked to see if there were any crystal shops around…read moreand found this gem. There are very few decent crystal shops in the bay area, and this is definitely one of the better ones. Really good variety of good quality stones in various forms (Palm Stones, loose small pieces, spheres, towers, carved animals, etc). Spoke to the owner and she hand picks the selection and she's got a great eye. Good selection of labradorite with nice flash. Nice selection of deep purple amethyst forms. And the prices are very fair, which can't be said of many other shops I've been to like in Los Gatos, Santa Cruz, and San Francisco. A lot of SF shops have horrible quality stuff unfortunately. They only restock new stuff once a year it seems but it's worth visiting this shop if you're in the area. The owner was very helpful and opened up any display case I wanted to see without a fuss. I ended up picking up a great malachite sphere.

They also sell small items, such as games, totes and more, for gifting. I always like to walk in and browse and see if I'm drawn to anything new read~ Today, a delightful new book was right infront me and after skimming a few pages. I knew this is it. Service is absolutely amazing. I have this weird habit of having to make a book cover for my new books. Staff kindly offered me a few options for my book cover and I eventually decided to use brown paper. I got my new book and covered it with protective paper on the spot. They are very accommodating. I really appreciate that. Looking forward to stepping in again for my next read~

Vastly overpriced, but that is to be expected given that it is a college store meant for excited…read morestudents and parents. Good place to get something in an emergency (like if you forgot a calculator and have an exam), but you will likely be charged well over market price. The store has a wide variety and nice selection of goods. You can find plenty of products from most categories. Academic supplies, clothing, food products, books, toys. In terms of service, I really wouldn't expect anything one way or another. Not because they are bad or anything; the employees here are predominantly students of the school itself. This means employment is a bit of a revolving door, so they may not be able to help if you need something specific. Overall, I quite like this place. It isn't cheap, but it is certainly useful and convenient.

My…read moreinitial appointment was very in-depth; the worker (unfortunately I don't remember their name) was SO helpful and walked me through tons of options to get the dignified look I was hoping for. I thought it was so cool that I got to go behind the counter and pick frame options off the wall - they really have everything you could ever need! We found a matte and frame that worked well with my other degree, which I brought for reference. The whole thing was under $300, which was very reasonable for what I ordered! They also gave me a discount for being a first-time customer and they also offer teacher discounts! The framing was estimated to take 6 weeks, which was a little long. However, the wait is worth it, as they custom-order and shape the frame to your needs. My order was finished in a little less than that timeline, which I appreciated. They also gave me hanging advice and tips for where it would look best. I love how it turned out and will definitely be back when I next have something special to commemorate!

They didn't have any small sizes, but I figured I could make a medium work since I didn't wanna go home empty-handed. Over the years, I misplaced all of my stuff from my college days, so I jumped at the opportunity to find a replacement while on my way to Sac for the weekend. The store doesn't offer posters of the university or of anything really, except the egghead sculptures. No thanks. They do offer plenty of gifts and accessories though, including a collection of UCD sanrio products. Being on campus, of course they sell electronics as well as textbooks downstairs. When making my purchase, the staff ran into technical issues at the front counter, but they eventually found a resolution without too much of a delay. Parking is free on Saturdays and Sundays.
