  • 1. Ghirardelli Chocolate

    Stop by for a free sample and then stock up on your mouth-watering favorites. If you’re feeling nostalgic take home some white or milk chocolate cable cars.

  • 2. Operetta

    As fine a collection of Italian handmade pottery as you are likely to see this side of the Atlantic. Delightful works from Sicily, Umbria, and Tuscany.

  • 3. Pearl of Orient

    This award-winning store carries the finest cultured pearls at excellent prices. Their staff is knowledgable about the manufacture and care of these lustrous gems.

  • 4. Russian Treasure

    A delightful shop specializing in all that is colorful and whimsical from Old Russia. You’ll find the famous nested dolls in a variety of styles.

  • 5. Golden Gate National Parkstore

    This shop is a buried treasure amid all the hoopla of the Wharf area. All the information you need for visiting the Bay Area’s parks, plus great little souvenirs.

  • 6. N.F.L. Shop

    Officially licensed to sell products for all major league sports, so here’s your chance to stock up on the jerseys and caps of all your favorite teams – especially, of course, the SF 49ers and the SF Giants.

  • 7. Collectibles of Asia

    In a complete departure from the usual kitsch of Pier 39, this shop offers genuine Chinese antiques at very affordable prices. You can find carvings, masterful ceramics, and much more.

  • 8. Wyland Galleries

    Magical undersea paintings by the artist who has created evocative murals all over the world. Also sculptures of sea creatures in every medium you can imagine.

  • 9. Cost Plus

    The original world import mart that set the trend for all the others. It can still surprise with a well-chosen item from some far-away land.

  • 10. Book Bay Bookstore

    Great secondhand books, records, and CDs, and all the proceeds support programs in San Francisco’s libraries. No better prices anywhere.
