Nest

Super nice staff and some fun eclectic toys and books for kids. And they gift wrap if you are wrapping challenged like myself, the extra dollar is worth every penny!

Terrible customer service, and inventory is now sorely lacking in originality and inspiration. Lots of poorly crafted reproductions with some original pieces available. The shop was not busy and plenty of staff on hand (including a manager or two) yet customers were being ignored. Employees seemed overly suspicious of shoplifting and pushed their way in front of me and other customers, arranging items without asking if people could be helped. I was ignored while waiting to make a purchase at the counter, and I received no offer of a gift wrap and when I requested a gift wrap (after seeing the young lady behind the counter had finished elaborately wrapping an item), was told that a simple brown bag would be…10 cents. I’m all for local bag fees, but the lack of experienced customer care and commitment to excellence is exactly what sends people shopping elsewhere in the City. In the past, Nest has been one of my favorite shops, but with the deterioration in quality of stock and experiencing faux-​elitist treatment from inexperienced staff, I will no longer shop here. Too many other fabulous options in the City for a great shopping experience!

Tiendas como éstas enamoran mi alma y alimentan mi corazón, aunque vacíen mi cuenta bancaria. Paseando por Fillmore acabé entre sus paredes e hice el 95 de las compras de mi viaje allí dentro. Se trata de un cajón de sastre ordenado y lleno de libros de cocina, bandejas, objetos de decoración, piezas de vajilla, utensilios, más o menos inservibles, pero todos vintage y muy bellos. Me quería llevar una estantería entera pero la señora no me lo recomendó por el sobrepeso en la maleta así que empecé a elegir objetos al azar: dos libros de San Francisco para colorear y regalar, un cojín del Golden Gate, unas postales preciosas, una libretita con un diseño magnífico… vamos que le hice el agosto a la señora.
Ella, muy amable, me atendió y ya de paso me preguntó toda mi vida y media de la pasada. Quiere venir a España así que cualquier día me veo un Nest en la Gran Vía ¿por qué no? Yo encantada de dejarme los dólares o euros en tiendas tan cuidadas, con objetos tan únicos y que destilan recuerdo, cariño y gusto por todas partes. Si estás en Fillmore ¡no te la pierdas!

Nest is such a cute store but WHAT is up with the customer service?! It is awful. I popped in looking for a few baby shower and housewarming gifts, but when it puts staff out to even greet their customers then i have no desire to pull my wallet out. This seems to be a theme with most stores in Fillmore which I find strange but if this is the level of customer service people in Pac Heights want then they can have it. I’ll keep heading downtown and getting these gifts at Barney’s and Gumps.
PS — ALWAYS check in The Paper Source is you see any artwork in Nest. They usually have the same stuff for half the price.

I wish my living room looked like Nest – birdcages and vintage toys line the walls. Interesting jewelry, linens, cookbooks, gifts for the home – it’s a lovely spot. Their gift wrap features a tiny best and miniature eggs.

One of my favorite stores in San Francisco. Heck, one of my favorite stores period!
This boutiques is a little piece of France in Pacific Heights. There are wonderful books, garments, perfumes, bedding, gifts, tabletop decorative items. The list goes on and on. If I were given a wish? I would want to have everything in the store to be part of my house. I would even want the store staff to arrange the table displays in my house. Everything looks stunning and I delight in all the color.
I would not be surprised if Aladdin’s Cave looked like Nest because everything inside is a treasure.

Nonexistent customer service. The last two times I was in neither employee acknowledged my presence!

Amazing store on Fillmore Street. I always bring out-​of-​towners to this beautiful store. The holiday window is incredible and so creative. Every time I go to Fillmore Street, NEST is the first shop I visit. As with other reviewers, the only issue is the terrible customer service. No hello, no Happy Holidays, no is there anything I can help with? The young girl was sure to let us know we had to leave because she started locking the door and made it very clear she wanted us to leave. It really is a shame. What is really sad is that I thought it was just us, but now as I read through the reviews I understand it is with everyone. Happy Holidays NEST, be friendly, it really would be nice.

Its a real gem of a place to go when you have a friend with good taste but has everything. I met a Parrot, saw the most lovely jewelery and felt very at home. Great See/​Feel here.

Okay well I gave the store owner a chance to reconcile this wrong before posting this issue, she never returned my phone call… but here goes. I visited the store with my granddaughters ages 15 and 12. I really love to look at the cool jewelry I can hardly afford! My 15 year old granddaughter was accused of stealing a stupid Keychain and made to empty her pockets in the store! needless to say she did not have the keychain! My granddaughter was VERY upset and in disbelief of this accusation by the store person. SHE DOES NOT STEAL! PERIOD! This was a horrible way to treat tourists and patrons to San Francisco. Not good Nest! Think twice before doing this to anyone else

Having recently moved to the neighborhood I came across this tiny store while strolling up Fillmore. It transported me to Paris or maybe India. It has hand block printed quilts just like my grandma used to have at home in India. They have the cutest jewellary and a great selection of cookbooks, candle holders, table lamps. The prices are a little high but they do carry a unique collection !

This is a great neighborhood store with a nicely curated, eclectic mix of high and low of home goods, jewelry, toys, clothing, and vintage/​antique items. BUT, the customer service I recently received was so atrocious that I WILL NEVER GO BACK.
An older Asian woman was the sole person working that day and no «hi» or «hello» to me or the 3 other people in the store. At one point, I was in front of her at the jewelry case for 10 min and not once did she acknowledge me. Then the cherry topper, I don’t know if she was watching me or another shopper that was by me, but I felt her creepily watching us then suddenly jolt forward towards us as if we were shoplifting then stop when she realized she made a mistake.
If you want to feel unwelcome or an intruder, this is the place to shop. Customer service is very important to me and sadly, at the state this store is in, it may not survive for long.

«Pardon me, I’d like to buy your whole store.»
«Excuse me?»
«All of it. I have a moving team and a truck parked legally, with permits, on Fillmore for the next 90 minutes. In that time…»
«wait…»
“In that time, please add up all price tags of every item, including furniture, the price at your discretion, and we will process a cashier’s check for the total amount.”
«I’m honored but…»
This is what back and forth ran through my head when I started to wander around in here. It’s completely implausible but I just could see someone walking in and requesting this. Like Misses Zuckerberg maybe.
This place is everything Anthropologie wants to be. Sourcing materials and buyers from local to around the globe, it’s a pretty whimsical store. Prices aren’t for the parsimonious.
The staff is kind and excited about their wares. When the shop owner opens up with «are you two having fun?» That’s when you know they just like the nest they’ve put together and I don’t want anyone to ever fly away with it.

Bonjour mes amies!
Pac Heights isn’t generally in my price point, but this petite shoppe captured my heart. All of everyone’s favourite French and local odds and ends under one roof. Children’s books, wedding rings, pop-​up cards, clothing, maison nicknacks and perfume.
Oh the perfume! Their scents aren’t actually French but from a local perfumer, Ineke. These perfumes are labeled by letters, and I bought a sample box of A-​H. I’m already planning on buying A: After my own heart, and F: Field notes from Paris.
I look forward to curating my own nest with touches from this store.
Joyeuse shopping, Mlle!

Nest is a wonderfully curated specialty shop that is full of things you didn’t know you needed*. It’s overpriced, but somehow that becomes bearable because you keep bumping into something else that you have to force yourself to leave there. From books to unusual trinkets to blankets to jewelry, this is a well-​planned out and aesthetically pleasing place to shop. I’ve never been to France, but something made me feel like I was there. When a shop can keep you circling inside, continually impressed with the merchandise even after you thought you saw everything, it has obviously done something right.
Nest just feels good. I don’t personally need a hello or red carpet when I come into a store** and I found the person there to be friendly and accommodating. This is gift central, but not a gift for your third cousin. This is a place where you get a gift for your significant other or your mom or someone you want to be your significant other in the future. I admire stores that spend the time to create a full aesthetic and Nest certainly does this on many levels. You will spend money, but you will make someone (or yourself) very happy.

* Needed is a strong word, but you’ll see.
** See other reviews about not being greeted. I actually prefer stand-​offishness, it makes me feel less pressured to buy something.

I love to buy gifts here, hint hint! The art is always unique and enchanting. I found some very fine and delicate animal embroidery pieces by tusk and coral. Check out the pillows, tea towels and badges featuring anthropomorphized bears, foxes, deer and badgers! Etsyesque!
The jeweley selection is outstanding, cookbooks abound, fine soaps and linens and Indian print pajamas and robes are appealling.
Yup, pretty much what i want in my nest.
Prices are mostly high but the embroidered animal textiles are cheap for the amount of work involved.
Service was grest, gift wrapping complimentary. Check it out and feather your own nest!

This boutique has a beautiful, authentic aesthetic to it that I thoroughly enjoyed browsing. They have a pretty broad range of products for such a small shop– home goods and bedding, clothing, tons of jewelry, stationary, kids items, and more. I love seeing brands I don’t see anywhere else as I find a lot of boutiques carry similar items. The store is artfully curated but a little cramped for sure.
I also don’t know who is buying the clothes in here because they are crazy expensive and look so boho you’d have to be fully committed to that style to purchase. Like, stop shaving committed. Think flowy linen and embroidery– but hundreds and hundreds of dollars. Who are these independently wealthy hippies?!
All the reviews commenting on the snootiness of employees probably didn’t apply to my visit as the store had lots of people in it and I wasn’t looking for help. It’s in the high-​end shopping area of town so don’t be surprised by the prices or service. I got a cold vibe from a lot of stores I went into on this street, but I don’t really give a crap what people think if I want to look around their store so… I guess I just don’t take it personally. I do what I want!

I love browsing through here whenever I’m in the Fillmore area. Recently I splurged on a beautiful necklace — the saleslady was very nice and was patient in following me around the store to have me try on the other jewelry I was interested in.
The item I purchased cost several hundred dollars, so I was surprised that not much was put into presentation when I had the item wrapped up. It was just placed in tissue and a plain white box with a rubber band around it. Slightly disappointing in that respect, but I’m still happy with my purchase and I’ll continue to frequent Nest — it’s just too unique to pass up.

BAN NEST!
I don’t care what type of interesting, unique home pieces/​jewelry you carry… if you cannot acknowledge a customer by a simple «hello», then you don’t deserve any business.
The last time I was in Nest (4−20−13), and my wife and browsing the jewelry case, this younger asian woman was more interested in eating her apple than asking if we needed to see anything in the case. She was standing right in back of the case facing us, and didn’t bother to ask if we needed help. That’s poor customer service and extremely rude. When her coworker came out from the back, they just started to chit chat, like we weren’t even in the store. There’s a lot to see in this store, so we were probably in there for about 20 mins and not once, did we get a «hello» or a «how can i help you?»
NOTE TO THE OWNER: The next time I’m in the area, I’m going to have my dog take a poo on your floor and I’m not kidding… you should get a taste of how your employees treat people.

Wow, impeccable selection of French imports and antiques plus women’s clothing and children’s toys. A nest indeed and surely a great place for buying gifts for self or indulging others.

This is a really cool store to go into. It’s very Sam Francisco … And a great place to get gifts for friends, or little things to decorate the house with. It is on the more expensive side for some things… okay most things. but many of the things are hard to pass up. They have an awesome selection of books as well. They have really unique products but be prepared to pay for organic fair trade free of this or that gluten free vegan stuff
