The Drug Store

This store is so much fun to go into because there is something different each time. I love the selection of vintage linens! It is also really neat that they display local artists paintings in the back for purchase. If you are cruising down Mission with 10 minutes to spare, take a peak in the Drug Store.

Update: They’ve moved, and changed their name to I Spy — they are now on 1845 Market Street. That’s all I know! I HOPE whoever moves into their old spot keeps the wonderful vintage drugstore signage.
Fun, fun place to roam around, reminisce, and find an excuse to buy another random knick-​knack for your home. A variety of stuff, from sock monkeys to full sets of vintage dishes to clothes to «what exactly IS that» — but all has a certain panache. That je-​né-​sais-​quoi quality plus things being well-​displayed make this place notches above rifling through Grandma’s attic — with the same vibe. This would be a fun place to buy a gift or bring mom for a walk down memory lane when she’s in town. The woman working on the day I visited was friendly, too.

this store has bit of everything but its better than a department store, because its all hand-​picked vintage. they also have cool installation pieces in the back. the owners (i think there’s 5 or 7) each have a part of the shop where they can do their own thing. the areas are individual in paint job, décor & merchandise, making a fun mélange for the eyes. stop by for great jewelry, household goods (lamps, glasses etc.) and clothes. we’ve gotten the most beautiful snifter set, two unique lamps & several Lucite bangles in perfect condition. prices are not cheap but worth paying for the quality. also, the drug store gets props for using the sign of the previous biz (duh, a pharmacy!).

Cool kitschy antiques, collectibles and clothes. Plus, they feature works by a new artist in a space in the back of the store every month or so, and throw a cool party for their clientele at that time. Gotta love a place that has cool stuff and supports the arts!

Really cool antiques and kitch decorations. Only downside, they charge alot for it. Oh, I might be biased because I live above them.
