Glass Kandi

I don’t deny the product there are great. Unfortunately, when I came with my boyfriend… it was a major disappointment. Never again will I go inside, ever!
Let me say that I’ve been a native San Franciscan for years, born and raised here. That being said, I know this area like the back of my hand. I came sometime in the afternoon, we were just looking around and a staff member, I believe it was Shane.
Scenario: Completely ignored and disregarded us until after a few minutes asked us what «we were looking for». I said that I didn’t have anything specific in mind, but I was interested in dildos; he rolled his eyes and gave me this look and began talking down to me saying: «Well, we only sell GLASS ones here» –As if I was an idiot, to top it off, he began asking where I was from. I said I was from SF and lived a couple blocks away. He replied: «That’s funny, and you’ve never heard of us before? We’ve been here for years, and we only sell the best high end products.etc.» As if I was naïve and ignorant. I began to question one of the products my boyfriend and I were thinking of buying. Shane brought it to the counter, along with other similar products with different price ranges. He then, began saying to me: «You know, glass is more hygienic than other ones. This is because we don’t have spores where bacteria can gather, Etc… (He looks at me) «Of course, you wouldn’t know that, because you probably use the other ones.» I was baffled, my boyfriend was serious (In other words HE WAS PISSED) I replied by saying «Thank you, and that I’d consider coming back again» As my boyfriend and I left, he lean out his counter towards us (As we had our back turned to leave) say loudly: «I BELIEVE YOUR LOOKING FOR A VIBRATOR NOT A DILDO»
In summation, his attitude towards us was beyond unacceptable. It was PLAIN RUDE. Very condescending, excessively conceited and self-​centered, demeaning.
I don’t know what we did to him for him to treat us that way. All knew as we left that store very disappointment. I love the decoration and stuff they have inside, but that will never make up for the horrible customer service.

I’m sure their products are great but I don’t understand why Shane had to be such a dick. Something must have crawled up his ass and died.
I have never experienced such bad customer service in my life and that is unfortunate because I have read so many good reviews about this place.
For some reason, things got off on the wrong foot between me and Shane.
I asked what the most popular item was. He responded with, «Well, our most popular items are our glass items because you know, we are a store that specializes in glass dildos.»
WELL FUCKING DUH. Why the fuck else would I go to your store and why the hell would you make such a snarky comment?
I was so completely put off that I wanted to leave within minutes of arriving and the experience continually got worse. Not sure why he had to act so condescending. He phrased everything in a way that made me feel stupid. I apologize that I don’t know everything about sex toys.
I asked why this other toy was differently shaped from the other toys. He said it was made to stimulate the g-​spot. «You know what the g-​spot is, right?»
Dear gawd, I’m not an idiot. You’re just a prick.
I’m glad my friend called me so that I had a chance to get the hell out of there quick. I guess I’m just going to have to find another place to buy glass dildos from.

Very helpful, polite, will go back

Visiting SF and by chance ran into your store, don’t let the name deter you it is great tasteful with upscale taste and reasonable prices establishment with Beyond EXCELLENT service and I can not say that about every place I visited in the last week. Like I mentioned full service items as well unique fashion items for everyday.
Shane was fantastic wish we could wrap him up… serious he is a keeper and would absolutely bring me back and recommend your establishment
Always
Jacque and Daughter!

I have a fantastic collection of glass pieces form Glass Kandi, the store is beautiful and a true boutique with lifestyle aspects. An exciting destination!

I love the lady who owns this place is so amazing!!! She knows what she’s talking about when it comes to Glass toys only place to go.

This is the best dildo store I have ever been in (thanks to Cherylynn N’s review). I had the pleasure of meeting SHANE and he is cute!
On a cold SF night, I decided to go running. Of course, when you look like crap, you meet good looking people. I passed the sign and immediately remember what Cherylynn called the «Tiffany & Co. of sex shops.» So I had to come in.
OMG.
They light up.
They are beautiful.
They have the cutest names.
It’s kinky stuff for the rich and tastefully sophisticated. I want one of their love sticks for d!@# sure.
Plus they have floggers and great smelling stuff. Shane told me what he likes and uses. What a f$#!$#$# turn on! Dude knows how to sell sex toys.
I have had a few moments that told me «Phillip, you need to be employed again!» and this was one of them.

As we were walking to 620 Jones, I saw something sparkle from the corner of my eye. As I said, «Ouuuuu…» the Mr. took my hand and said, «Let’s go in!» What the!!! Is this former Catholic school boy really pulling me into a sex shop? *sprinkles the Mr. with holy water*
Walking into Glass Kandi is like stepping into the Tiffany & Co. of sex shops. From glass cases filled with eye-​catching dildos, pretty in pink floggers, erotic lingerie, sensuous bath and massage products, self-​teasers and pleasers to boobie and cock-​shaped treats, everything was beautifully arranged under the illuminating golden glass chandeliers.
My eyes widened and twinkled like a Japanese animé character as I’ve never seen such statuesque and girthy glass dildos glistening like a 200 Carat D Color Internally Flawless Diamond in the light.
*Cherubs Sing*
Mr. NSS: «How cum you never look at ‘me’ like that?»
Me: «Uhh, do you sparkle? Do you have a heart shaped crown? Do you have pretty pink studs? Do you cum in all the colors of the rainbow?»
*Awkward Silence*
Me: «Exactly…»
OTHER NOTES:
*Friendly staff
*Glass Kandi hosts dildo parties for every occasion

I was passing by one day and when I looked up, I was shocked. I thought I seen something out of my imagination. So I backed up and took a second look. Sure enough it was a store with a full display case of glass dildos.

Okay, I visited the shop with my ex-​boyfriend while I was in San Fran, we left empy handed that day. (That was probably a foreshadowing of our future together. :)) But now, I have a new boyfriend and had some toys shipped back home.
All I can say is the toys are mind blowing. The pieces are so unique and sexy. Samantha is fantastic and you must visit her shop. I will be sure to visit the next time I am in the area. The pieces are well worth the price.

Sam, Sam Sam! You are the greatest! People looking for erotic pleasure look no further than this shop! They have a wide variety of wild gifts as well as pleasure toys! Who could ask for more? Sam the owner is very friendly and an amazing host once you enter her shop! I highly recommend this shop to any couple who wishes to spice up thier love life! 5 stars all the way!

Holy. Cow!
Six stars for this very cool place that Adam and I discovered as we left a Litquake event at the Hotel Monaco. Samantha was having a third-​year anniversary party, and we were all invited! I’m kind of sold and want to go back to pick up some goodies. And please donate in the name of Chicken the dog, who has had a mishap!

Wow if you like classy glassy sex toys and art all rolled into one, then you will love this place. A cool little find near Union Square, by Larkin on Geary. We were caught up by the very sensual and sophisticated window display.
We wandered in to see tall glass display cases full of handmade glass toys and other tasteful romanticism! Simply nice pieces of artistically handcrafted FUNctional artworks. I don’t think it was the owner working last night, but the gal that was working there was cheery, super friendly and knowledgeable!
Will definitely be back!

My wife and I ventured into Samantha’s shop and were floored at the selection of toys she has. Samantha was very helpful in selecting the right one and explained all of the benefits of glass over silicone. She pulled a glass cucumber out from the display case, which was quite warm from sitting under a light. Glass retains heat (and cold), which can add an extra element of fun during playtime.
Her toys are great and definitely worth the money. Her service is exceptional and you’ll walk away a happy customer.

Samantha and her very knowledgeable staff with help you wind your way through the many glittering displays within the walls of Glass Kandi.
There is assuredly something for every one in this unique and special find near Union Square!

My girlfriend and I were bar hopping last night and came across a dildo store that was open at 11:30 at night! Who does that? So as we were contemplating actually going into the store, some guys opened the door and were like «C’mon just look around ladies, you know you want to.» Haha. So we checked this place out. OMG! Amazing, gorgeous handblown glass to satisfy my every need (so to speak).
The owner (s?) was there, giving us a great explanation of each piece and talked to us the whole time about how she opened up the business. You can tell she definitely loves what she does, and has great relationship with her customers. All I can say is that, I may or may not be back to make a purchase in the near future. You’ve convinced me!

Walking home from breakfast at Olympic Flame Café with my future brother-​in-​law and 16 year old Catholic school girl niece…
Me: Look at this cute window display!
Boyfriend: Hold on, let me get a picture of it.
Me: Oh, there’s vegetables and a photo of a produce stand– Oooh, honey, maybe we’re getting one of those cool little markets like Rainbow or BiRite?
(future brother-​in-​law and niece crowd around)
Me: Hey, what’s that in the cup? Is it a cactus? Noooo… it looks like a big glass cucumber. How cute! What’s that for… OH! OH MY GOD! Oh my! Um, let’s go…
I’d heard (thanks to Unilocal) that this place was in the neighborhood. I’d made a mental note to check it out but didn’t remember the address. I’ll definitely have to come back sometime, just (duh) not with FAMILY.

Just. wow.
I have never seen so many glass toys in one place before. What’s even better is that none of the shops I have EVER been to have ever had even half of the collection here. Sure, it’s expensive. But they are beautiful, and there are so many things one can do with glass that one cannot with the likes of silicone and whatnot.
Samantha mentioned she had customers that were collectors, and I can totally understand why. I had one dinky little glass toy from another shop, and coming here was a completely different experience with such a wide range of exquisite choices. To top that off, you can do custom orders too! Thankfully I don’t live in the area, otherwise I’d be coming to buy a new toy every week or something.
I wish I could buy the whole store. Alas I don’t have that much money.

Huge selection here. The owner Samantha is a sweetheart — she knows her product and is always willing to discuss proper usage/​methods. Her personal touch is evidenced throughout the store, from the individual names she gives each piece (check out the produce section) to the scandalous photos on the wall. She also stocks games, how-​to books, lube and a small selection of clothes.
Stop by, have a look and meet her pooch Chicken.
Full disclosure: I haven’t actually bought anything here and Sam’s a friend.

Most nights it looks like a fancy art glass shop. The naked girl modeling the artwork in the shop window the other night tastefully reminded otherwise. Extra stars for interesting use of verb.
