Heath Newsstand in San Francisco, California, US

Interesting spot for mags and designers clothing. Just a bit on the higher end of price 🙂

One of the very few places in the city that you can find real magazines. Not the highly commercialized ones sold in supermarkets but interesting, informative and inspiring ones that cover art, literature, design, culture, lifestyle, travel and more.nOf course it's impossible to carry every title out there in this small newsstand but overall I like what they get in their selection. They also have a section for books focusing on travel guides and brand stories.nService is always friendly even if you are just browsing around.

This is such a terrific and unique little gem in the neighborhood. They carry the best snacks, unique yummy gummies I have never seen sold anywhere else, and also an eclectic and tasty selection of drinks. Some of my favorite magazines have come from here-only place i have ever found a whole magazine about rescue dogs(!) they also have one of the best selection of kids magazines I have ever seen. We got a diy kids craft book here my daughter LOVES. they also have a cute selection of cards and a lot of other fun or useful high quality items. Everything is quite thoughtfully done. But I think the thing that really keeps us returning is the staff -they are just so wonderful. Plus the really know their magazines and the items they sell so can steer you in the right direction or answer your questions. I often will pop over to say hi but then end up purchasing something. I’m really grateful for the outstanding customer service and attention to detail. Definitely a little shop to drop by when you get a chance or are in the neighborhood .

I ordered a magazine on Saturday afternoon and it arrived on Monday, what a nice surprise! It was very carefully packaged - wrapped in kraft paper and secured with pretty little H stickers and had another lovely sticker inside. Little touches like this are one of the many reasons I shop with small businesses. Thank you Heath!

Covid safe - 4 patrons allowed at a time. Mandatory sanitizing and masks. Contactless payment. Super friendly staff.nnGreat selection of greeting cards, games, newspapers, magazines, gifts, stationery and beverages. I love the curated, artsy, items. You can tell someone has gone thru great lengths to select each item with intention to amplify the stores goodies for the relatively small space.nnWhat surprised me the most were the prices. They were better than most SF boutiques/stores and could even compare well with online prices.nnA great place to pickup cute gifts after you visit Tartine Manufactory and Heath Ceramics.

So much amazing selection and the best fashion magazines, but what happened to the friendly staff?
