Oh Target, Target Target! Let me count the ways how poor your customer service is. This is for general customer service not the Mission Street store. I ordered 2 rugs, only received one. FedEx said they delivered 2 and so Target has to investigate what happened. When I asked when will someone get in touch with me the rep said I can't guarantee someone will. Because they're out of the rug I ordered I said I'd order a different color and she told me they have no way of expediting it. And on and on and on. BTW they're favorite response is, "I understand your frustration." The end? read more

This Target is right in the new, remodeled Metreon Complex. If you haven't been here in years, the original Sony store is long gone. Now this complex is dominated by 3 things: AMC movie theaters, a multi-ethnic Food Court, and Target. The Starbucks on the corner of Mission and 4th as the cornerstone of the Metreon, is actually a Target concession, and the employees are Target employees, so you can't even tip them. Step through the glass door from the Starbucks, or Mission, and you have to ride up a story on the escalator to get to the main floor of Target. The layout is more long and narrower than most Targets, which tend to be wide and shallow in suburban malls. But they have most of the main departments here. I like Target. It is good to see that all the high-paid geeks that work for the dot coms in this area of town and pay astronomical rents in the high-rises around here can now go buy cheap clothes they can afford at their neighborhood Target, just like their Moms used to do in Peoria, Palmdale, Poughkeepsie, Pune and Pudong. read more

I love that this location is right above the movie theaters. My friend and I decided to stop by here right before watching Don't Breathe so we could save money on snacks. Apple juice, water bottle, Red Vines, and sour gummies came out to less than $5 with my Target Red Card. We weren't from the area and didn't know where the theaters were. We asked the cashier and he was so nice and helpful. Gave up step-by-step directions on how to get there. read more

Having a Target located in the city is clutch - I've only lived in San Francisco for 5 days now, but I've already made the short trek over on 3 separate occasions. I now have a new kitchen trash can, loads of hangers, a shower liner, bath mat and countless other home goodies that I didn't want to transport 1700+ miles in a smallish car. Sexy, right? Though this location is smaller than a typical suburban Target outpost, it's well-curated with beauty products, electronics, clothing, housewares, food/beverages and other essentials. There are lanes aplenty to make checkout as speedy as possible, but if you go immediately after work as I tend to do, the queues can get quite long (though they still move fairly quickly depending on the cashier). If you're fiending for some caffeine to complement the rush of shopping at Target, there's a Starbucks located on the ground level. As always, it's near impossible to visit Target without dropping a Benjamin... and it's even easier to accomplish the overspend here since the prices are higher. read more

The fog parted, the sun shone on Yerba Buena, and from it came... TARGET. We FINALLY got a TARGET IN SAN FRANCISCO! HALLELUJAH WE ARE SAVED! I effing LOVE TARGET. EFFING LOVE IT. I already have a new sweater, 2 bags of candy, toothpaste, and Butter's has new food, litter, and a Halloween costume. I am going to waste so much of my life here I AM BEYOND EXCITED! Target is the perfect cure/ store for everything. Bad day? HEAD TO TARGET. Bored? HEAD TO TARGET. NEED GROCERIES ON THE CHEAP? HEAD TO TARGET. But the damn SF bag ordinance kinda super ruined it- paper target bags?? Noooooo the plastic ones were EXCELLENT kitty bin liners!!! =( read more

The Target store in downtown San Francisco is abysmal. I saw an item online, a scarf in the men's department, and I tried calling to see if it was in stock. The phone rang 25 times without being answered before I gave up. I checked online and it said there were 3 of that item at that location. I hopped on a bus and went there. The store had very few customers that early in the morning, so why did the phone ring 25 times? Once inside I had to ask 3 different employees before one of them knew what I meant by "scarf" (seriously, it's not like I asked for a hyperspanner or a photonic field generator) and then I was finally told that they were out of stock and that I shouldn't believe what it says online. In short, what the f--? Handy location though. read more

Don't get me wrong. I HATE shopping! But the City Target is providing some necessary service to this part of town. Here are the four stars: 1. Clean (trying the best they can against impossible odds). 2. Fair prices on a wide selection. 3. They let your dog in. 4. They are going to upgrade the look of all the homeless carts downtown. Already saw one in south beach marina area... that didn't take long. I guess everyone likes Target. The gripe, besides the whole notion of spending time looking at and purchasing junk we don't need, is the intense and harsh lighting that is a hallmark of the american consumer experience. Don't forget to bring your own bag. read more

Incompetent employees. Not helpful. Especially in the fitting rooms. There is a 6 item limit. I had 8. So I gave the employee my extra 2. I went ahead and tried my other 6. I walked out to trade and get the other items and there were no where to be found. The employee put them back. Okay..... Hire people with some knowledge of customer service please. City Target means not your average fully equip Target. Chances are you will not find what you need/want. However, it is convenient where they do have the things you need/want as prices are inexpensive than other vendors. read more

BUYER BEWARE!!! These people practice FALSE ADVERTISING!!!! I wanted to purchase a set of 2 Reebok 25lb Rubber Hex weights from their east bay store but they only had 1 in stock. I wanted to buy 2 because it was on sale for $28.00 instead of $39.00 Since I stopped by City Target before going to their east bay store, I thought to myself: OK no problem, I can just head out to the City and get the 2nd one before the promotion ends. I got there I was shocked!! THEY REFUSED to match the price as advertised on their website, and on every TARGET Stores I've been to, they say Price MATCH GUARANTEE!! I would of ordered it online but problem was it is only available in store NOT online. In the near future, I am sure they would get in hot water for their false advertising practices. read more

Ooooh Aaaahhhh...!!! Its target.. On Steroids.. And quite a selection of wine.. ;) So happy its not Walmart.. Wait what thwe hell am i do writing corporate America reviews..?? Lol read more

San Franciscans rarely agree on anything. Blue bottle or Revolution? Boulange or Tartine? The Mission or the Sunset (haha just kidding we all hate the Sunset) But what we can all agree on is our unified love for Target. It was said, that on the opening day of our first City Target, Jesus himself came down and cried red white and blue tears blessing the grounds of this sacred store. Revolving doors keep out (confuse?) the local crack heads, and upon entering its gilded gates you are greeted into florescent heaven. You no longer need to take Bart to Colma to get your Target love on. United we stand. read more

I like the convenience of having a Target in the city. My complaint is this, while I have no problem bringing my own bags (I think it's a good idea), I find it absolutely absurd that they almost never will bag your items for you? Yesterday, I had not even closed my wallet yet and the cashier was already onto the next customer. And while I'm at it, "Here you go." is NOT the same as "Thank you." I go to this Target out of necessity. I would not shop here if I had another option. Customer service here mostly sucks. There have been a couple of nice cashiers, but good like finding them! read more

I had the nicest checker today I believe his name was Jorek? (Can't read handwriting well) He was so sweet and helpful! Helped me all the way to my car with my heavy boxes. He was so professional. I also heard the woman in front of me in line telling him he is so kind and why is he so nice? Haha it's hard to come by friendly helpful people these days! You could tell he genuinely likes helping people and loves his job!! I also left a review for him on the target website because he did go above and beyond! Thank you for making my day so much easier!! read more

Went here for one item in mind. Neither one of the 3 staff members I personally asked knew where it was. Thank goodness for the Target app because it told me directly where to get it. read more

This Target is a dump compared to others I have visited. It's not clean, merchandise has been dumped anywhere and everywhere by patron, and it just feels scuzzy. No one is willing to help you; staff would rather stand around and chat with each other. Shelves are poorly stocked with products. read more

Conveniently located by my house yet dangerous to my wallet because....well, we all know how it goes. You always walk in with the intent that you're going to get ONE item that you NEED, yet leave there with a basket full of items that you suddenly "needed". I love Target. Sure, it's a corporate chain and may be stealing local business but damn...they have soooo much at your disposal. This particular store is rather small. They don't have tons of selection (they dont even have a shoe dept) but it gets the job done. I love their home and kitchen section - I'm always trying to convince myself out of buying something I dont need from those aisles. Their food section is okay. Not a lot of selection and I cant buy Jameson here. -_- read more

Today I had a terrible experience with one of their security guards. I went shopping at Target San Francisco Central today at 1PM. After purchasing a bowl on the 2nd floor, I saw a security guard--she was female, thirty-something, and having long straight black hair. I was gazing at her unique uniform out of curiosity--for just a second or two. She noticed it and looked at my eyes. I thought she might be suspecting that I was a shoplifter. I thought it could be misleading if I turn my eyes away from her, so we looked at each other for a second. I kept walking down to the first floor and looked back; she was still looking at me. I waited in front of the door for just in case; I took my receipt to prove that I was not a shoplifter. As I expected she talked to me. "WHY ARE YOU STARING AT ME?!" That's what she said at first. Apparently, she seemed very angry. I was taken aback but said very politely, "Wait, here's my receipt." She said "I know you've made payment. But YOU ARE STARING AT ME! DON'T DO THAT! I DON'T LIKE IT!" She shouted at me and came back to the store. People around us were looking at us. (And there might be shoplifting on the 2nd floor in the meantime.) I felt offended and sad very much. Overall, I am deeply disappointed in this store as well as the Target Corporation's HR and security management. read more

Not too shabby at all. Some items are cheaper than walgreens whilst some are more costlier than other outlets. Elf cosmetics used to my rain reason why I go here besides the convenience of being in the metreon. But lowering the hours is sad. Great staff & clean shop. Too bad hobos run this city. read more

People need Target definitely if they live in downtown San Francisco. Target sell medicines, products for daily use, clothes, underwears, foods, beverages, sports clothes, stationeries. Also this Target is open until 10pm!! So convenient!! read more

Target - Department Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

See all

The only good thing about this location is...the location. No one likes driving all the way to Daly City, or worse, taking public transportation. You can forget doing major shopping if you're going to BART or SamTrans it back home. The not so great parts: -The parking garage is across the street. If you're buying furniture or bulk toilet paper, you're going to have to schlep it across the street -The parking garage isn't free -The prices aren't that much cheaper than the surrounding stores. You might as well go to Daly City to get a better deal -It's kinda small I think it's a good step forward to finally have a Target in the city. However, it's nothing like the ones in Daly City or San Bruno read more

I was ecstatic that Target finally opened in San Francisco! I was disappointed however that the prices arent nearly as low as the other Targets I've been to(primarily Daly City). Be aware that this Target is very small and it won't have a huge variety of things. I was a little upset by the fact that each section: Food, School Supplies, Sports, etc were so small. It seems like it's just a slightly larger Walgreens. Nothing special. Will be coming back since the location is very convenient, right across Westfield mall, linked to the Metreon. read more

Really bizarre inventory for it's location - huge baby section and hardly anything from featured designer lines. Just like a suburb store. read more

Target - Really, Target? Kitten leggings? - Department Stores Near Me - San Francisco, California

Usually Target is like a great big planet with a gravitational pull that attracts all the things that you can imagine needing. This Target, while still a moderately sized planet with considerable things in its orbit, repeatedly does not have all the things. While it's very convenient, clean, with nice staff, (thank you!) there have been probably 5 occasions where I'll go looking for a specific thing that they just don't have. These attempts have lowered my expectations a bit. (Snow chains (double parenthesis, I kind of get this one), disposable table cloths, disposable serving utensils, decent holiday decorations etc). However! I did buy a pretty excellent bathing suit top for a small amount of dollars. The hygiene section is pretty darned impressive as well; I jam out every morning on the hair dryer I bought here and the jams are highly satisfactory and drying. Other noteworthy highlights: - Lightsaber selection - Nice men's underwear selection (Ahem. Christmas gift) - Decent $5 DVD section! After many trips here, I pretty much know what I can get at this location, and where I should try elsewhere for other stuff. read more

Nice and fairly new Target location in the city - it's a City Target! You'd expect that they have less stuff than regular Targets but no - the selection is actually pretty good and you won't find anything missing here. Enter from either Mission or 5th. Parking? No bueno. read more

A Target that's walking distance from my apartment? Couldn't ask for a better store! It's got everything from clothes to household items and even groceries! The pricing seems to be comparable to other Target locations. However, a lot of the items that are on sale at other locations are not on sale here. Additionally, they do not have a shoe department! Regardless, I LOVE Target and LOVE this location! read more

Finally a (City) Target that is actually IN San Francisco in the heart of downtown, located inside the Metreon! There's nothing really special to say about this Target--it pretty much offers the same sort of items at any ol' Target BUT in less quantities or none at all. Was pretty bummed they didn't have shoes there. However, this Target is stocked full of candy (possibly because of Halloween coming up in a few days) and food/groceries! So if you need a cheap, quick bite to eat while shopping downtown or some snacks, this is the place to be. Honestly I'd still rather trek all the way to Colma Target just to get all the things I need. Overall, its meh. read more

Thanks goodness, we have a target in san francisco!!! I am so greatfull, walgreens started to become expensive... Not sufficient for fresh groceries shopping but absolutely perfect for hygiene and house cleaning supplies, pantry items, baby care, pet supplies... Love love love target products and prices!!! read more

Great place, great busy location. Rather small and less offerings compare to other Targets. Otherwise they carry your typical everyday stuff. This place is great for those that work and live close by and whom doesn't have a car. Forget about parking. Park in the parking lot. read more

American Target, let me count the ways I adore you. And, having only experienced a City Target, I can only imagine how this love would grow should I visit a suburban store. Located super central in the Meteron centre and opening its doors at 7:30am, this Target is clearly designed for the urban jungle dwellers and their ranging needs from souvenirs, grocery items, reasonably priced clothes, toys, cosmetics and more. I can't tell you how many times I visited this store while I was recently in San Francisco and purchases ranged from a simple black pencil skirt, underwear, mascara, costume accessories for a work party, cold and flu tablets, mental purchases of home wares I had no way of carrying back to Australia, super cute socks and more. You get the point? read more

They took the best of the best of Target and put it in the best of the best of cities! I'm ECSTATIC!! I have been living in SF since 2001. I have been waiting for a Target in the City for just as long. I was always either going with a friend or getting a Zipcar for Target and because I went so rarely, it was a HUGE stock-up spree when I went. Now that Target is in the City, I'm relieved. I can go when I want, for as long as I want. I can meander around and think about this or that. No one is waiting for me to finish. No more nightmares of being 18 hours late returning my Zipcar because I lost track of time shopping. Never ever late returning a Zipcar, but the nightmares are real. LOL I don't mind about the lack of parking because I won't be taking a car there. I'm perfectly happy shopping for amounts I can carry on the bus or walking. The prices at this Target are TARGET prices, not San Francisco prices. Very relieved about this. As for the reviewers who say "It's JUST Target...", clearly they live outside of the City and/or have a car and have no issues or time constraints in their shopping. For true City Dwellers with no car, this City Target is a dream come true!! read more

Let me start by saying I LOVE TARGET. I was so excited to find out that CityTarget was coming to San Francisco. I love the convenience of stopping in on my way home from work, and filling up my shopping bag with as much as I can carry home on Muni. Now that the initial excitement has worn off, I have to say I'm disappointed with this store. I won't complain about the prices or the parking, because this was to be expected. It simply costs more to operate a Target in downtown SF. I also have to note that the staff is really nice. Some of the cashiers are the friendliest I've ever encountered at any Target store. The thing that annoys me the most when shopping at CityTarget is that on almost every visit, they don't have everything I wanted. And what's really frustrating is that I KNOW that all the other Targets have it. It makes for an incomplete shopping experience on almost every visit. I would understand if it was a tiny store, but it's actually not. The problem is that it's laid out in a way that overemphasizes clothing and worthless knickknacks. I do buy clothing at Target sometimes, but I really think the clothing space in the center of the store is unnecessarily big, at the expense of the health & beauty, household, and grocery sections. It's obvious that there's an imbalance because the latter aisles are always overcrowded, while the rest of the store is usually sparsely populated. I feel like I'm wasting my time and getting frustrated on multiple visits to the CityTarget, when I could just drive to the Colma store every once in a while and knock it all out at once. read more

WHERE ARE THE SHOES?! I understand this is a City Target, one that's catered to us urban dwellers (see 10 lb bags of dog food, not 20 lbs) but but ... no shoes? No lovely $20 flats? What a shame especially since their clothing sections are pretty huge and take up a good chunk of the store. It has most of the essentials: electronics, home good, groceries (including produce) and beauty but be prepared for some sticker shock. Most of the Target brands are still reasonably priced but after Googling some of the other items on the shelves, it's a fact that they mark up their prices $1-2 more than the listed price on ... Target.com. "Inconceivable, preposterous and harrumph," I say. read more

Came here to look at TV stands with my partner and felt as though the layout of the store was odd and as though the store lacked the affordable options we were looking for. For those who are regular shoppers at Target, you know the comfort that lies in knowing the basic layout of all of their stores. However, the kind of circular structure of the store resulted in an atypical layout that made it difficult to navigate within. This manifested itself most for me when I was trying to find the clearance section in the store (normally located right as you enter) and was unable to do so. In addition, I felt as though there were not many options available when looking for a TV stand and was disappointed that the cheapest option my partner found was around $100. Furthermore, this Target location lacks any parking - which means you have to pay an arm and a leg for the overpriced street and lot parking nearby. Overall: I love Target, but do not think I will be returning to this location. read more

Things Target doesn't have: Fly paper plastic place mats fresh cranberries drape tie backs. Okay, let's get real. This review doesn't truly matter. You're gonna go here anyway. Even if they don't have cranberries I'm a slave to the giant target in the sky. If they have cheap wine ---- I'm there. read more

Having City Target makes life so much easier, especially due to the inconsistency at ALL Walgreens that exist in SF. This store carries most things I need, and it's awesome for a one stop shop. I'm not going to hate on all the employees because some are really outstanding, and some require L.E. (Lowered Expectations). My biggest complaint is to certain customers, and tourists at Target that forget how to get out of the O.P.P. (Other People's Paths). Yeah, you know me. Move. read more

Great place to go for a great deal on items. But as a loyal and confident customer, I am very upset at one of your security guards for accusing me of stealing something on the way out. I brought my own bag, and when I put my items into my own bag guard grab me at the door and ask me for my receipt which I quickly show him. I asked him why did he stopped me and he said I saw you put something in your bag. That something was legally mine and I am very upset with target for allowing security guards to abuse their power. I asked for an apology and he only said have a nice day. read more

Considering it is a City Target, it is decently big!!!

Highlights: - The FIRST city Target. - I love that I now have an option aside from Walgreens or CVS. - I can't complain about their cheap prices and just the fact that I no longer have to venture out of the city to get to a Target. - Starbucks at the first floor AND across the street. - Direct access to Metreon, theater, and dining options. - Separate C9 store. Improvements: - Smaller and limited selection compared to full target stores outside of the city. - One level of goods only. Tip: One stop shop for anything and almost everything. Power lunch hour shopping here I come! read more

Convenient location that sells snacks, toiletries, and a lot of basic items cheaper than competitors in the downtown area. It's great for tourists who want to avoid using the hotel convenience store. For locals it's a good location for basic necessities near the mall and Bart station. +.-..-. +.-..-. +.-..-. read more

I usually end my day spent downtown by strolling through Target to (1) Shopkick and (2) take a gander at all the things. Iono about you but Target is one of my favorite places. And having one downtown was super convenient when I used to work in FiDi. Especially since it's close to BART too. It's small. At least compared to the Colma Target I usually go to. Actually, it's smaller than the City Target on Masonic too but it's okay. Size doesn't matter. Much. Don't expect the more unique finds at this location though. It's only one floor (C9 stuff downstairs) so there's less space to work with. Can't say the prices are more or less than other stores though because it varies by item. I've bought Noxema that was cheapest here but Sensodyne toothpaste was on the higher side. read more
