Parking in Cole Valley is tough. Really tough. But it’s worth it in order to pay a visit to wonderful shops like Egg & Urban Mercantile. (Public transportation takes you practically to their door as well.)
This is the perfect place to go when you’re trying to find a gift for hard-to-shop-for friends. (And don’t we all have a few of those?) We love how they mix in goods from local artists (like Kevin Harris and Whitney Smith) with cool products from other small manufacturers (like Bay Area-based Roost).
Egg & Urban Mercantile even has a fantastic selection of letterpress cards, so you can pick up everything you need in one trip.
