Local Take

I LOVE this place. The owner has a direct relationship with all the artists and creators and its priced very reasonably. Definitely a great place to pick up a treasure for yourself or a gift that’s truly local to the SF Bay Area. Dog friendly too!l

I stumbled upon this amazing local goods store in the heart of the Castro district, and I loved the vibrant selection. They had some colorful jumpsuits that instantly stole my heart. But what really sets this place apart is their assortment of San Francisco-themed home decor. If you're looking to add a touch of the city to your home, this is undoubtedly the go-to spot. It's a hidden gem for both fashion finds and unique SF-inspired decor pieces.

Art, clothing, decoration, stuff for pet friends, paintings, post cards, candles, diy crafts boxes, games, baby stuff, jewelry, stuffies, I could go on but then you’d miss the fun of discovery.

Staff is super nice, atmosphere is lovely and it’s just always so fun to discover their inventory.

Excellent local art, boutique shop; the perfect place to shop for locally made souvenirs for out of town friends & loved ones. Kitchy bay area artists and beautiful/fragrant candles & soaps make this a must-visit gift shop for anyone visiting SF. The service is top notch; love this place A++

A great store for San Francisco style gifts, that are much more artsy than touristy! Reasonable priced.

Great shop full of unique SF-themed items, and a full range of quirky, fun t-shirts and cards. The staff member who helped me was very friendly and exceptionally welcoming!

Great little shop full of wonderful gay themed items. The lady we met was very kind and gave us helpful hints for getting around the Castro and San Francisco. Perfect place to pickup a card or pickup some of their original artwork.

This is a great gift shop in the Castro (particularly with Wild Card so close by). There is art in various sizes by local artists (I love the representations of the neighborhoods). Creative ideas (candles, soaps, etc.) that are inspired by San Francisco and California. Very, very friendly staffers always wiling to take some time and help with a choice or inspiration.

A must visit for tourists and locals alike; has an assortment of SF goods (food, apparel, kitchenware, art and more) with an edge and, void of Pier 39’esque tourist shop vibes.

Great for gift shopping; gift recipients will hopefully feel joyed to receive the type San Francisco goods most tourists don’t have.

When public transport is back to it, it’s easily accessible via the F train and, any which goes to the Castro Muni station (not even a block away).

The shop is taking COVID-19 precautions as well.

Highly recommend if ur looking for a souvenir or SFO themed items that aren't mass-produced in China. We just happened upon this after riding the street car to the end of the line, Castro district. Lovely, informative staff, and really intriguing merch. Really nice selection of graphic-Ts, also.

I've been wanting to check Local Take out when I first saw it a few months back. I finally had the chance to during one of the federal holidays that just passed. It's a cute store with lots of great local products. The two women who worked there were really nice. They had a meeting with a local vendor, so I didn't want to interrupt when I had a question. One of them came up to me to ask how I was doing. I asked if they had a medium of a shirt I wanted in the back, and she got it right away. She could've said she would be right with me after the meeting, or she could've ignored me. But she took care of me right away and I appreciate that.

If you're in the Castro as either a tourist or a local, you should visit this place for unique merchandise.

Stopped by here, such as great shop!!! There are many local items that are unique. A somewhat of an art gallery as well with local artists' works. Very cool place.

Very friendly staff.
Good size store with many nice products.
Parking can be tough.

This hidden gem of a store at 17th & Market (where the Muni F Line stops) is my secret weapon for San Francisco-themed gifts. Almost everything is made locally and totally unique. It's the perfect place to find a gift for an out of towner, or someone new to the city. From art prints/photographs, to jewelry, to mugs and letterpress cards, to soaps and jellies. The prices are really reasonable too (think $5 unframed prints).

Great Castro and San Francisco art prints, T-shirts, caps, clothes, etc. Staff very helpful when I bought the wrong size T-shirt for someone and exchanged it no problem.

Great indie boutique to buy local gifts from local makers

As a longtime San Franciscan, this is where I buy wedding presents for foreign friends, and send my guests for SF souvenirs. Practical, locally made, thoughtfully curated gifts for every taste.

My favorite neighborhood collection of San Francisco themed artwork from the local stars, Kyra was an amazingly helpful host with the most. Great last minute gifts to keep for yourself.

Love all the products and the staff is very nice and welcome. If you like to help local business, it is a good place to go. You can find very nice souvenirs here!

Great stock of local artwork from local artists. Customers service is top notch, friendly, and kind.

excellent customer service with very well informed and polite staff. Would buy again no hesitation 10/10!
