Definitely a paradise for all kinds of hobby materials and decorations around the house. Enjoys the model kits aisle as well!
So much to select from and great sales. Also very friendly staff. Shirley was great!
Hobby L. Is a hobbiess dream! Friendly and helpful staff. Enjoy.
Friendly and extremely helpful staff. They were happy to share future sale details. The store is well stocked and has it great quality items.
If youve ever been to a Michaels, generally the concept is similar. Its a hobby/craft supply store where the lean is far more heavily on crafts than what one might have more traditionally understood as hobby. Where your hobby shops of old had a higher focus on plastic models, figurines, cards and related materials, these kinds of stores have a wider focus on the larger hobby of crafts. It might be fair to say that its a general hobby and craft store.Its much larger in size than Michaels and houses a larger array of similar craft items, as well as seasonal, contemporary, American-ish knickknacks.So, like Michaels youll have sections for small scale wooden crafts, different papers, illustration/sketch/painting bits and bobs (oil, watercolor, spray, pentype (Copic, etc)), then on to small books for kids, fabrics, home decoration, some textile and yarn stuffs and then related materials. Fabrics set it apart from Michaels as Ive not seen a Michaels that carries fabric basics. Some leather exists for those who are so inclined. I would say that as a general craft store, it truly excels at being general and not being great at any one specific area.Its a good place for casual crafters or those looking to target home based small crafts. Those focusing their skills on specifics like leather, plastic models, sewing or have deeper illustration needs may not find this place perfect. But enough exists to get your feet wet on all of those fronts.On that front, Id say this place is like a Michael and Jo-anns store combined...but with slightly fewer Fabrics than Jo-anns.The bad--some of the items are horribly overpriced.The good-- sales happen often. Though whether you truly save money on the sale vs, say, Amazon is a different story.Good for what it is and for getting the basics when you need them.
A one stop craft store.....OpenedMonday thru Saturday Closed SundayMasks are required
Lots of sales. Very clean and well kept store.
Jury is out on if this store should be considered a hobby shop or a home decoration store. Very limited furniture. Lots of beautiful cool eye candy🍬🍬 for your dwelling for sure! You will not leave without one purchase for sure.Manager lady appeared not to know the merchandise or where it is located.
Very nice and it has a lot of different things as it always has. I found what I was looking for. Their website is also great. Clean place very organized and the clerks are very polite. I plan on going back for sure.
The store is nice. However, I came from SF today to get needed supplies for a project I’m working on. Just a few minutes ago I pull out my bag with my supplies to finish the final stages on my mosaic. Low and behold, my receipt shows that I paid for all of the supplies that I needed, but my bag does not. Wouldn’t you know it .. it looks like a couple of items that I paid for, miraculously missed the bag before it was handed to me! Unbelievable!!! Disappointed ☹️
Quaint and quiet. You can lose yourself for hours and discovery new items every visit.
My girlfriend loves this place. When I first walked in I was dumbfounded. Its like a michaels or jo Anns on steroids.....imagine a Michaels but the size of home depot.🤯
Great place, mind blowing selection. MICHALS ON STERODES!
So much selection and very reasonable prices. Kind of like Costco it might be better for your wallet if you go with a shopping list instead of browsing all the aisles cause there are so many cool things youll want to buy them all.
I love Hobby Lobby! Great variety of reasonably priced decorative items for home. Lots of ideas.Books at a great price. Great service minded company!
Love this place. Has everything I need to do my projects.
Omg this place is absolutely designed,clean environment beautiful and friendly people working there.. amazing customer service fabulous working team...bathroom facility is very cleanI highly recommend 👌A 10+We need more places like this in redwood city 🙏
I love this store, so many cotton yarn choices and military stuff to choose from, just to name a couple. Oh and the silk flower collection is huge!
TO WHOMEVER IN CONCERN**MAP INCLUDED**, As a person has worked at hobby lobby since July of 2020, I hope this information can be helpful for past/current/future customers;Here are some Tip/Cons/And Pros!Tips:•90 Day Return Policy (60 days w/o Receipt you will get back the sale price. If its not on sale/clearance the day you return it. Youre lucky!)•Price Adjustment Policy: If the item you purchased goes on sale within 15 days. Come back the day of its on sale with the receipt AND THE ITEM (sometimes pictures with the tag are allowed). This is because if a certain brand is on sale, we cannot tell from just the receipt if your item is part of the sale.•BAGS COST NOW: 25/Paper 49/Reusable - And more coming soon!•NO COUPON: We just clearance half our stock by 75% (hence the we now have a home decor clearance section now)•SEASONAL: If you want decorations come here. However these items we never order... All items are first come first serve!•Special Order/Rain Check: If you want an item but its not theres on the isle, you can do a Special Order with a cashier or CSM. We order the quantity for you and call you when it comes in!•SATURDAY ARE ALWAYS BUSY: Enough Said.•@5:00pm Everyday We count the money in all the used registers one by one, causing a delay in the lines.Cons:•Registers: We originally have 8 registers.

Very nice and resourceful, employees very helpful and courtesy
I love this store..Its huge & has lots of stuff..
Its huge and expensive service is alright but checkout is not very friendly. The silk flowers EVERYTHING, love love love them! So realistic its scary.
Spend good money here, so much to choose from.
Very disorganized probably because it was Halloween, and Xmas was 50% in alot of items.
Nice decor pieces for every day and holidays. Nice kids art and creativity kits.Lots of craft and sewing supplies. Great Christian literature. Some check-out difficulties.
They have an unbelievable array of products from home decor to crafts and often many are discounted. If you want to decorate for a holiday or have a themed party you are sure to find something here.
Its one of my favorite places, I make jewelry & they have all kinds of great things things 4 my hobby 👽
Great space and collection .. very neatly organized
Tons of lovely decorative goodies and ideas for home and garden. With the hope of boosting our domestic economy, I would like to see more items that are homemade and reduce the import from China.
Friendly and helpful staff. You can find just about everything you need for your hobby from fabrics to airbrushes. No RC stuff.
Huge store with lots of crafting goods and materials.
They got stuff but they dont like me.
This location is well maintained.
Love this store. Clean and organize. You can easily find what you are looking for. They got everything I needed. Thank you.😊
Love all the decor they have, so clean and oranized and staff is amazing.
When this store opened during the summer of 2020, I inquired about returns because I wanted to do early Christmas shopping. They clearly did not have their act together because I was told I had a year and could return as long as I had my receipt. Now I want to return something unopened WITH A RECEIPT (6 months later) and I would only get 10% of my money back because items are now on clearance, while returns are only allowed within 90 days. I dont care if its on clearance, I didnt buy it at clearance price and I have a receipt to prove it! Also, some items are consistent in poor quality. Get your act together Hobby Lobby! Horrible service!
Too much conservative propaganda in the way of the books and signs they promote near the checkouts. Everyone can have their positions, but we can choose not to shop there.
I love this store but I do not like the staff at this location. I never felt so discriminated in my life. I think it is insulting to have employees follow you around the store, and not even bother to ask if I needed any help(which I did). Hopefully the G.M realize that customer service is valued Greatly and that making your customers feel like criminals is actually something that a person can take offense to and not return to this store ever again. I will be sure to spread that news around.
Upgraded Michaels, Actually expected it to have more hobbiest items, like 1000s of models small motorized projects, planes and boats. But all in all not bad.
I think this is better than Michaels! Cant wait to bring in my pictures so I can get them framed!
I found it hard to find ideas that shows they carried.
Too much good stuff
Great place for arts and crafts items. I was able to find all the materials I needed for my personal art project. The staff helped me find some of the items I was unable to locate. Overall, a good place if you are looking for materials for your artistic projects.
Annoying that they dont do Halloween and close on Sundays. I only come when I cant fi d what I need at the other craft stores. They do carry all kinds of things just not a fan of the politics.
Wowsy Ive moved away from the area and came back for an appt.....gosh what a surprise. I almost wish I didnt move!!!! Why would the crafting gawdesses do this to me? Nice selection, was in there for hours and when I venture back for my next appt....well its a given Ill have to shop my wish list for sure!
Big store, staff were plentiful but not much selection of tools and paint for scale modelers.
I am truly upset. I drove all the way up from San Jose to go here and I got charged for an item I wanted but never found it in my bag. The employees name is Jaida and she not only charged me for an item she didn’t put in my bag but double charged me for an item as well. Keep I mind that I didn’t realize any of this because they were rushing us out at the time of closing. Now I’m at home wondering when I’m going to get my money back for what I was charged for and now I have to take another trip to have all of this taken care. Super disappointed.
Not a hobby store, its all consumerist junk and some craft supplies.
If youre looking for a great hobby store this is the place. The only reason it received four stars instead of five is my partner ordered two yards of each fabric and was charged for 2 yards but only received 1 yard when we got home. She has no experience with buying yardage and did not watch the lady cut the fabric
Always find times and hobby lobby
Great place, but you will be there more than a hour for such big store!
So love this place. So many good items
Love this place !
I was overcharged for 2 items totaling $4. When I wrote to their customer service they came back with I was charged for all the items that were put in my bag. My receipt was for $85 so $4 wasnt going to make or break me but its the way their customer service handled my issue is why they lose me as a customer. I know what I got and what I was charged for. Check before you leave the store or better yet stay away from Hobby Lobby because they only want your money.
I could spend hours in hobby lobby!! Its an awesome store and great prices!!
Great, clean amazing service and friendly staff.
Good, fun stuff...love the 3.99 t-shirts.
Neat clean and orderly with a good selection of craft materials. The staff is helpful. And very friendly.
Stock up on arts and craft supplies on the cheap...and I have it on good authority that shopping here makes God happy. I call that a win win.
Clean organized....thank u. 😅
I can spend hours here!
Always a good place to shop. Thank you for opening in San Mateo
Great selection of unique art products. Great store !
Great big store, old ToysRUs location. Staff is great! I called in the am about a mug and it was on hold for me when I arrived in the afternoon.
Not what i thought it was, I was thinking it was more of a airplane model railroad tracks and train type of place its more like Michaels. Not really my bag baby.
Lots of crafts amd hobby ideas. Friendly staff. Lots of seasonal decorations for the holidays. This is a good spot for hobby party and home holiday decorations
Great store. Large variety artist supplies, Christmas, Halloween, and holiday supplies. Artificial flowers, picture frames, decorations, and much more. Friendly and helpful sales persons and cashiers. Prentiful parking fronting store.
Sooo many goodies. 90% off if Thanksgiving items. Fantastic
Not a comprehensive selection for the model hobbyist but a place for a few of the most important items used. Listed: a selection of Vallejo acrylics; a limited supply of Testors enamels; also a limited supply of Model Master acrylics; no Tamiya acrylics here; Testors thinners; three types of Testors glues; a number of tools from blades to files; three varieties of cyanoacrylate glue; cyanoacrylate accelerator; Evergreen styrene products. Of course, the prices are reasonable.
Has no hobby’s for men. I want Radio Shack back.
The happiest place on earth for me 😆big store, great prices, friendly staff and so much supplies to create !!!
Great store. Excellent selection and decent service.
You find everything and more for your creativity!!

Cant really go wrong when you need craft stuff when you go to a hobby lobby. This location is no different, spot on with great customer service.
Lotsa stuff, like a giant Michaels
Love it (per the wife)
Has almost everything you could imagine. Friendly staff.
Christian logos and themes best around
