Very good children's shoe store. Wide selection of shoes. It is impossible to find a brick and mortar children's shoe store these days and we were very happy with this one. The woman who helped us was very good. read more

Small Frys - Beautifully wrapped birthday gift - Toy Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

Saturday, 5-25-24- Doing Grandpa duty, I forgot to pack a change of overnight clothes for my 7-year-old granddaughter's stay. This got me some annoyed looks. Quick solution: Head over to Small Frys. I found a parking space right in front on Saturday and I knew the gods were smiling upon us. We walked in and I told the staff I needed a jacket, PJ's, shirt, and socks for a 7-year-old girl. They jumped into action, showed me excellent selections, my granddaughter liked the choices and picked out what she wanted, and I was out the door in five minutes. I let the staff know how grateful I was. Small Frys saved my bacon, made me look good, kept my granddaughter and other authorities happy, and did it in good cheer and quickly. Hats off to Small Frys. read more

Small frys is the best children clothing/shoe store in San Francisco! Whenever I am in the area for lunch or a walk, I always stop by here to get something for my daughter and son. It's also a great place to get a gift for a special little one! There's always a decent sized sales rack at the entrance. What makes this store truly amazing is the owner. My family from Ukraine recently fled the war and arrived in San Francisco. The owner reached out to me and told me she has a care package at her store waiting for my almost 6 year old nephew. I had tears when reading how generous of a person she was. Not only did she give him incredible See Kai Run shoes, but she also have super stylish pants, shirts and PJs. My family and I are forever grateful for her kindness and generosity. Thank you, thank you. Support small businesses like Small Frys! read more

I was a regular customer at small frys for the last couple years. This has been my go to for my kids clothes and birthday presents. Consistently the service has been horrible. No one says hello or helps find sizes. This is a neighborhood store with a very rude staff. I will not be returning to this store. I recommend others to take their business elsewhere. read more

This place is so darling and the owner and GM are so sweet and give back to the community. I come here for seasonal clothes and toys for my boys and love it. read more

See all

I love this wonderful, local kids clothes and toy shop! They have amazing, friendly staff and they wrap the gifts so beautifully. They even gift wrap for items not purchased here (for a few), which is very well worth it! They have an incredible selection of clothes ranging in sizes, including newborns all the way up to young kids! They have been on 24th street for decades and really love, love, love coming here! Kids love it here too! read more

I am no expert, but seems like an amazing collection of ultra cute stuff for kids and could easily spend a full hour here going through it all. And this is from the window as Covid still has us curbside shopping. The team behind small frys is equally amazing and we will be coming back often! read more

I work in the neighborhood and always walk past this cute store. Unfortunately, today was the day I decided to walk in to purchase a few things for my best friends baby shower. Little did I know they did not have tine for me. There were two women workers inside and none of them couldn't even so much so hello. That's a red flag and an instant turn off. My money will be uses elsewhere. read more

Noe Valley is filled with children's clothing and toy shops, but Small Frys is a winner for their personalized service and great selection. Pros: - They carry a mix of clothing, "sundries" (like sunscreen), books and toys so you can pop in for all sorts of stuff. They carry great brands like Tea Collection and Noodle & Boo. They also carry an interesting assortment of books that highlight the diversity of San Francisco. - They offer free gift wrapping! Cons: - The store is small so while there is breadth of items, the depth of items and SKUs is relatively shallow. For example, there's a relatively limited number of dresses for baby girls age 9-12 months. - Prices are higher than you will pay in most other places (Nordstrom, direct from retailer, etc.). read more

Cute little children's boutique in Noe Valley. They have mostly clothes, a small assortment of toys and books and a selection of baby carriers (Baby Bjorn). The staff is very friendly and enthusiastic. I like that they carry Chammies, a line of Polartec (the "real" polar fleece from Malden Mills) fleece pajamas. The style that they carry in the shop is the pullover top with the footed pants. It gets chilly at night so these jammies are great when you don't want to turn on the heater every night. I've only been able to find this particular brand online. The clothing selection is a good range of sizes. My personal preference is clothing that is more hip than cutesy. The clothes here are borderline cutesy, not a bad thing just an observation. read more

service is non existent, when instead two people in a small store could help a lot sourcing the right size etc.

Beautiful, unique baby and children's clothes and items. Great customer service! Shop local, support local!

We love Small Frys! It's not the most economical shopping trip, but they offer a pretty good variety of children's clothes. I love the Zutano and Petit Lem outfits. They also have a profile artist that comes twice a year. We look forward to the special keepsakes he makes with just black paper and a pair of small, sharp scissors. In a pinch, I've used their changing room and found emergency diapers in most sizes in a basket, as well as some wipes for convenience. So thoughtful. It's a great neighborhood store that I try to patronize as much as I can afford to. Noe Valley needs more places like this! read more

I've just started going here since moving into the neighborhood. Infact, I used to go here about 10 years ago and loved it then. It hasn't changed - still great selection of baby clothes. I go here for gift purchases mainly since I don't have any children - there is such a great variety of baby clothes with varied price ranges depending on your budget. They also carry non-standard brands and items that you don't find in the mainstream baby stores. read more

This is a nice children's store in the heart of Noe Valley. I always find something reasonably priced and cute for my grand daughter. They carry a great selection and are always professional and helpful. Regarding the book the previous yelper referred to, it's intent is to discuss racial issues and identity, not to be a racist book at all. http://www.comeunity.com/adoption/books/bkyoubeme.html read more

Great designer clothes for babies, but way to expensive. I think I saw a onesie for$ 35.00 there once, please! Great though for a special gift for someone. Great shoes and books too. Wish they had more "boy" items though. Love the Johnny Cash/ Jimmy Hendrix shirts for babies. read more

Great little children's boutique store, the clothes are pricey, but you can't fault them for their collection of "you can't find these at Borders or Barnes and Nobles" books. I've been here 3 or 4 times to buy their ethnic children's books. I've bought a couple of Filipino children's story books and given them as gifts. Every time the book is unwrapped there's a lot of, "Where did you get this book? This is great!" It's nice to know that these books are there and in the near vicinity and that I don't have to go to Amazon or order them online. read more

Small family owned store with wonderful clothing and accessories for babies and kids that are carefully curated.

Came here yesterday looking for a baby gift for my cousin's new baby girl. They have a great selection here! I really wanted to get one of their SF onesies but wasn't sure if my cousin's baby would fit it. I went with a cute purple towel and rubber ducky set and even got it gift wrapped! The staff were very friendly and helpful and did a great job with wrapping my gift. I'll be sure to stop here when looking for any future baby gifts for my friends and family! read more

A neighborhood go-to shopping destination for baby gifts. Not the right place for basisc, but a great place for unique and local clothing. Lots of plush little blankets, lovable soft stuffed animals, and some books and toys. Very friendly staff too! read more

Great selection of baby and children clothes. Nice wooden toys, unique outfits that go along with the extremely unique prices. It's about quality here folks. No lower end crap here, not super high-end, but trendy name brand kids gear. You'll find everything from shoes, diaper bags, baptism outfits, toys, blankets, hair bows, etc. Very nice customer service, no pressure to buy. Although, we did end up buying a toy for baby. I'll be back for some cute outfits for those special occasion events. read more

Amazing small business here in Noe valley. Good selection of baby toys and clothes at a decent price. They we're also involved with a program called Sf baby box that basically gave a free bassinet made out of a cardboard box. It came with goodies as well. Everyone get out of the targets and Amazon's and support your local businesses. read more

This is a very nice store. They are more of the boutique style store a lot of first time parents will frequent to find all of the super cute and must have apparel and items. That is why they are so great for gift shopping! Price wise they are not as practical unless you work for Google or have a similar bank roll, but for that first baby this is a great shop to spoil with as well as finding a few of those perfect items. I love that they carry Robeez shoes. These are just the best for little feet! The staff was nice and knowledgeable as well. Go go baby store! read more

LOVE LOVE LOVE this little store, along w/great owner, staff, gift wrapping & advice. I'm all the kids' favorite aunt since I started shopping here. Let's all make sure it stays OPEN!!! read more

Woa, poorest customer service I have encountered in a long while. So bad in fact, that by the time I got to the door with the items I purchased, I turned around and asked for a refund. When merchandise is that pricey, the customer should be treated somewhat nicely. Though I only live a few blocks away, I shall never return. read more

When I was a little girl, I used to play with Barbies and dress them up all the time. I would even go as far as to sew clothes for them. Now that I'm all adult, I've moved onto dressing up my little baby boy. And it's more fun because he brings life to the clothes. Small Frys has been one of my favorite places to buy stylish clothes for my boy. The prices are a bit high, but the sales are worth stopping in here and picking up some items. And we all know it can cost a lot to look good...even for the little tikes. read more

Not very well organized. Styles a bit outdated for the prices and the store was a little cramped. I spent all weekend going baby clothes shopping and this place was the worst by far. Baby stores should make you feel happy, not depressed. Oh and the service was a big negative. there were 2 employees there who were too engrossed in their own conversation to even acknowledge our presence. read more

Great neighborhood store for quick kids gifts! It seems like every weekend one of my friends is having a bday party for one of their kids. I always grab a gift here in a pinch . The staff is very helpful and being a guy they are very patient with me! read more

The owners and staff are super friendly here, but maybe it's because they're trying to distract customers from looking at their price tags. I love the Zutano items and Trumpette socks (THE best infant socks in the world), but otherwise find most of their clothes selection to be much too "cute" and pricey for me. read more

Worst customer service experience I've had in a long time. The salesperson acted as if she knew how to fit children's shoes, when, in fact, she did not. The first time my daughter wore her new shoes, they were so ill-fitting that they fell right off her feet. When I brought back the shoes the next day, the salesperson said the shoes couldn't be returned because they'd been worn. The owner came out and argued with me. Although the owner was quite rude, I stood my ground and, after fifteen minutes of arguing (with toddler in tow), I returned the shoes. Needless to say, I won't be returning to this store. Even more troubling, the store sells a racist book called "You Be Me, I'll Be You". It is about a white father who puts coffee grounds on his face and flour on his African-American daughter's face so that they can "dress up" like each other. I can't believe a book like this exists, much less that it's available for sale in a San Francisco children's store. read more

This is a good store for gifts, or for a one-off purchase for your own child. However, I have found the prices way too high, and not a great selection. It's too segmented: pink and girly or blue with trucks and animals. One exception: the Zutano collection is good. They also carry the Cushies sleep sacks, that snap at the shoulders. These are the BEST sleep blankets ever. They have a nice selection of blankets and little stuffed animals, as well as a few Petit Bateau onesies (the best, if you have a tall, lean child) and some good Robeez choices. They also carry Mustela products, which are the best. What keeps me from going here regularly is the service. I have found the staff to be annoying with no concept of personal space. Many time I wheeled my sleeping baby in there in her stroller -- with the hood down clearly signaling "sleeping within" only to have an elderly sales person come over and start yelling at the top of her voice and peering in, thus waking the baby. I know she was trying to be nice, but you'd think they'd clue in, working in a baby clothing store.... read more

This is a great store! There are lots of cute outfits to chose from and the quality is great too. I had bought clothes for both my boys and whenever I look for gift shopping I always know that I could find wonderful selection at Small Frys. I especially love the baby shoes - soft, comfy and cute looking. I like the variety of brands and also the books and toys that you can not find in other children's stores. read more

This was my first visit, and I'm still suffering from sticker shock. Will update this review after a few more visits...But, in the meantime, 1 set of newborn mittens + 2 newborn hats + 1 newborn onesie = $75. Whoa. read more

Great for gifts! I can't imagine any parent shopping here regularly, but in addition to a lot of cute clothes and shoes, there's a great selection of eco-friendly products, toys, stuffed animals, etc. Some things were a bit expensive, but I also noticed that others were reasonably priced. read more

I went here on a cold day, people here are VERY helpful. Especially the two young ladies who showed wonderful customer service! Great quality in their merchandise. Would definitely be going back for the holidays :D read more

This has been my go-to place to buy baby gifts and, believe me, I stop in here more than I'd really like. I tend to gravitate to the fuzzy ear hats since I am a big believer in dressing small children as animals as long as you can get away with it. Also, everything else in the store is ridiculously over-priced. I've bought a couple "Yayyyy Area" baby shirts and they are so expensive it is a crime. That said, I'll keep going because it is convenient and, even better, they gift wrap everything. I end up showing up with fun, cute stuff and it seems like I care! read more

This Noe Valley children's clothing store has so much more! All the top brands, including dresses, shoes, socks, sweaters, coats, strollers, accessories, baby bags and toys. I think they sell new born to about size 10. Get your holiday dresses early as they definitely sell out!! read more

Small Frys is a cute baby & small kids clothes store, with some books & toys in there as well. It's a couple blocks away from me, in Noe Valley, so it was the perfect place to browse for a gift for my soon to be born baby niece. I often see very cute outfits in the window as I go past. These aren't cheap clothes, but they're probably worth it, especially if you want your baby to look fashionable. I got my sister a cute nursing cover thingie, which seems like it will be useful. I'm sure I'll be back to pick out some special outfits for the baby once she arrives. Oh, and service was friendly too, even when I accidentally knocked down their nursing covers display taking mine off the rack. read more

I recently bought a baby carrier for my sister in Costa Rica and she absolutely loves it. All their products and brands are super cute and the staff is extremely friendly. There is no need to go anywhere else, even Downtown, because Small Frys has everything! I highly recommend shopping here. read more
