Not only is their selection of children's toys unbearably cute and aesthetic, the girl at the counter with the glasses is so sweet and always takes the time to wrap my purchases for me. That in itself is a reason to go here and buy gifts for birthday parties etc.! Every parent I've bought a gift for from here has asked me where this store is. Also not just for kids - I always end up buying from their selection of stickers, cards, socks for myself and my friends! read more

San Franciscans knows how to have fun. There lots of places in San Francisco that offer something for anybody especially on Clement street. When you have to do it yourself it takes some planning and party supplies. When someone throws a Tantrum in San Francisco it includes party favors and toys. On Clement street there is place which sells fun novelty items and it's called Tantrum. Entering Tantrum there are aisles of items that are nostalgic like the Doggie Diner miniature statue. You will also find the San Francisco Fog Globe. This is also good place to find a gift . Lots of greeting cards for any occasions like birthdays and acknowledgments. You will also find bags and books along with games inside. This is a fun place to check out and enjoy and catch a Tantrum from items on Clement street in San Francisco. This place has lots of things for any age because it's "diverse" with lots of fun things related to the " San Francisco universe " although is called Tantrum there is no need to "curse "or act up because this Tantrum is for fun and not to be "perverse" A Tantrum happens when someone emotionally "hurts" it's similar to loud random" outbursts" but this Tantrum store on Clement street sells everything from journals , notepads, games, and " T-shirts" read more

Cute Lil store. Well decorated, it is so pleasant to see. I was looking for Jellycat. They do have some, but not a lot. They have so many cute stuff though. read more

A really cute shop that has a bit of everything. Lots of great stationery and greeting cards. There isn't really a section of everything in one place, but more like a treasure hunt type of gift and gadgets shop. It's a very welcoming shop if you just kind of want to walk through, or if you're shopping some cute goodies for friends or a special someone. I will have to return for their really funny stationery because those notebooks were probably my favorite part of this shop. read more

This store is so awesome and cute! They have an amazing selection of teething toys and a great selection for older kids as well. The store is well lit, homey, and incredibly well stocked! The items are pricey but very well made and worth every sent! The people working in the store are very kind and knowledgeable with questions and tips about what to buy! 10/10! read more

If you want to get a gift for a toddler, look no further! This is a very cute shop on Clement which helped me get a gift for my friend's son's 1st birthday. Those animal themed wall clocks were always in my mind to be bought for some kid and it happened this time! I got the last hanging piece of a fox with a tail for the clock handle and it would be such a great gift for the little one to grow up and learn to recognize animals! I was really amazed at how the gift got wrapped, with cute name tag and a fancy/neat thread to accentuate the brown liner - simply amazing! Service is really good and people are very friendly, paying so much attention to detail! Overall left the shop being so so happy! read more

I live in the East Bay but frequently come into the city and this is by far my favorite toy store in the area. The customer service is great (free shipping on certain orders for locals! Free gift wrap!) and the selection is pretty robust. I have a young child and appreciate that they have a solid offering for younger kids. The store feels old timey in the best way. The Mill Valley location is also worth checking out! read more

Anyone who says "San Francisco is a dying city" should take a stroll down clement street.. they will very quickly see that there is a vibrant and thriving atmosphere filled with amazing food, interesting art, and where this review fits in, many retail shops filled with unparalleled quirky, quality and products willed with character and charm. Today's highlight: Tantrum! I do not have kids (nor will I have any, it's not in the cards for me by choice) but my sister has a 6mo baby who just came to visit for five days and after hearing about this shop, I stopped in to spoil my niece with some quality toys and sensory things. The shop was amazing, with so much to look through and many staff members to help with whatever questions one might have! Everything I picked up had a sturdy feeling to it, as well as clear tagging (about what was appropriate for what age) which was very helpful for me, as someone who knows just about nothing about what babies can have what toys... it must be said that this establishment is not inexpensive by any means. The least expensive item I bought was a decorative block letter (out of three) which were four dollars each. Fine for a decoration. But the actual toys, those were much much pricier, however the quality justifies the cost in my opinion. I'm happy to have shopped local, and even happier to have spoiled my niece, though she'll probably never know it Either way this shop is great, and if you're willing to shell out some extra $$ for some quality goods, it's worth going into! Or even if you're not and just want to look around, it's a feast for the eyes! read more

Definitely one of our favorite spots to shop locally! read more

Love the store name and supporting a small biz! Throw your tantrum +'s: + Merchandise runs a variety from stuffed animals, dolls, party favors, and trinkets. Gift options run the gamut here. + Service not pushy and relaxed. I like to stroll unimpeded. + Prices are fair. Idk I really don't cross check against another online store because I want to support a small biz. + Mejuri decorations available here if you need to throw a party Temper your tantrum -'s: - Nothing glaring to note as a negative for now Overall I would stop here if you are looking for something for a kid.

Amazing selection of unique and attractive toys, books, and games. Friendly and helpful staff. I shopped for my 3 year old nephew and newborn niece and found the perfect gifts for both. My favorite part was the free wrapping - so authentic and attractive - string tied and names stamped on the outer wrapping. Highly recommend!! read more

Any time i have to buy a gift for a kid i come to tantrum! They have the cutest selection of well made toys, arts and crafts (coloring books, stickers, pencils, crayons), stationary and cards, newborn gifts, and the list goes on! It's priced reasonably - on the higher end, but well worth it for the quality and selection. The service I've received here has always been outstanding! Each gift is individually wrapped, the child's name stamped on a tag & thoughtfully assembled. Love coming here and getting lost in the kid magic! It's a treat read more

Carefully curated with high quality toys and educational learning items for all ages.

Unusually charming children's toy store that appeals to those with an eye for design. As if a crew of art school kids grew up, got together and opened up a one of a kind toy store. It has a full wall of Jellycat plushies, if you are a fan (and they are adorable.). They've got a wall of artfully designed children's clocks and letterpress cards. The gifts for infants and small children are European feeling and special. They have nice brown paper wrap with retro stamps that spell out your recipients name, which makes a gift even more delightful to open. We started shopping here online, when only a giant red and white mushroom lamp would do (on a wish list) and they are made in Germany and not easy to come by. The online order came quickly during COVID, and it was fun to finally stop into the bricks and mortar store for this holiday season, and see how fanciful, clever and cute the shop is. read more

Wow! Tatrum's touch is so special! The young lady at the front counter with the brown hair knew her way around that wrapping paper! I was very pleased read more

Nice collection of goods! They carry Jellycats! Heaven for both kids and adults. Huge selection of cards ranging from birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, thank-yous, etc.. But yes, Jellycats! I have been a customer since 2015 and will keep coming back for my amuseables. They also deliver to your doorstep (check website though.) read more

Such a cute toy store! I love everything they sell. It's a great place to find gifts, especially if you're not sure what you're initially looking for. read more

Small but well curated children's books, toys, and clothing - it has an old fashioned vintage appeal which I love. They even have some cute accessories (earrings, pins, necklaces) by the cash wrap and greeting cards for other gift giving ideas. After browsing around I landed on two onesies with adorable San Francisco graphics and a matching teddy bear plushie holding the Golden Gate bridge. The best part is that they offer complimentary gift wrap - simple and unique - and they'll hand stamp the gift tag with the name of your choice. At the time, the baby's name wasn't chosen yet so I just had the couple's names stamped. I love that I was able to get everything I needed in one place - gifts, card, wrapping - and it was a hit! read more

Tantrum has some very high quality and unique items for children. Been in a few times mostly browsing because they have very cute selections. They have my favorite brand: jellycat. Super soft, cuddly and just so adorable. Today I went in to get a birthday gift for one of my pup's friends. We are attending their birthday pawty tomorrow and I wanted to get some last minute sparkle. And I also got something cute for myself (earrings) cuz why not. Friendly service and lovely. read more

Zoe from Tantrum is the best! Thanks for taking the time to individually gift wrap all the little gifts I purchased. This will make the recipients feel very special and happy because I'm usually too lazy to gift wrap. Thank you Tantrum!! read more

This is the first place I think of when I need a gift for kids. I know I'll always find something great. Needed a small gift for a 6 month old little girl on my way to a dinner with friends. I found the most adorable terrier/crinkle toy/unicorn plushie thing that was perfect and age appropriate. Got a second little musical wooden toy as well. I love the free gift wrap and they personalized it with a stamped name tag. read more

Y'all. Just stop what you're doing and head over to Tantrum please. I have been shopping here for years, love this family owned business that invests in local artists and community. The owners curate an incredible selection for everyone I buy gifts for (children, adults, myself). I still remember how sad I was thinking they were a pop up! read more

I saw this store in Cole Valley. Sadly, after covid Tantrum in Cole Valley closed down. This Tantrum in the Richmond is still open and offering a nice visit. They had an interesting showcase of stuffed animals and I wanted to check out the stuffed animals. It was really cute and good variety. I decided to get a small frog toy and not spend on a stuffed animal today. They said the stuffed animals are from France. Receipt by email. Other toys for show. read more

What a fun shop! Baby had his first toy store visit today at 14 months old. The store was nice and quiet at 10am when they opened and within 30 mins they had a lot of customers (it's the holiday season). Store owners knew their products well and was able to give recommendations based on what I was looking for. They have a lovely unique assortment of toys to choose from, which I appreciated. Check-out was quick and gift wrapping was a breeze. Gifts are already under the tree! read more

TANTRUM - Toys - Toy Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

Come here for a quick gift to bring a fancy hipster toy to your next young kids birthday party. Expect to pay high prices, but in return, you get fancy packaging that feels good in your hands, as you marvel at the extra 5 minute effort the clerk spends to wrap your gift and stamp it with custom letters with the name of the recipient. The store is a joy for parents, but honestly like any fancy boutique you get concerned bringing your little ones in tow. This is a high brow gift shop, not Toys R Us. read more

I was really excited to come here in person after following them online. We (me and my two toddlers) came in on a weekday morning and they weren't busy. I will say that they have a great selection of toys, clothes, books, etc. (this is the reason for 2 stars instead of 1). The kids were having a blast looking at all the toys. While we were browsing, another family was doing their transaction and the two ladies working were extremely friendly to them and baby-talking to the kid. We finally picked out some toys and checked out. The woman was quite cold to us. She ignored my toddler who quietly handed over his toys to be scanned (which I wouldn't usually care about - but she was overly nice to the other kid there so I took notice). She looked annoyed when I asked for a bag, asked for their hand-stamped name tags, and even more annoyed when I told her how to correctly spell my kid's name. The cashier woman never once showed basic manners - no thank you, or have a nice day - and didn't say a word to my two toddlers. Despite it being a children's toy store. And despite her gushing over another child minutes before. I'm not sure if this person was just having a bad day, but my children and I will not be supporting this children's store anymore due to the rude service we received. read more

My four year old was hesitant at first because she wanted to go to target. Tantrum is now her favorite toy store!

Love the 2 monsters standing guard too!! ;)) read more

Tantrum stores are currently closed due to COVID-19 shelter in place, but they are still delivering! I ordered a beautiful octopus puzzle (https://shoptantrum.com/products/octopus-puzzle) this morning around 1am, and they delivered it before noon today. What service! Their website is appropriately organized, which helped me easily find the arts and crafts section. We all know our kids need extra arts and crafts right now! I'm so happy to be able to support a local business while also receiving such great service and a high quality product. I love this store so much and will be placing more orders soon! P.S. They have free wrapping that can be personalized with the kid's name! I didn't do it because I want to conserve resources, but I've gotten bday gifts there in the past, and the wrapping is simple, elegant and cute read more

The owner could not be nicer and we were to glad to support their business! read more

Tantrum has been my go-to for picking up in-person or sending children's gifts. They have such a special unique selection that you won't find at big chain stores like Target and such. Also they gift wrap for free and stamp the gift recipient's name on a gift tag. It's super cute!! read more
