Gorgeous children's clothes

by JessicaFoote

Mudpie has gorgeous children's clothing. The owner has wonderful, unusual taste - it's a great place to find unique gifts for special kids. It's been here forever, and not because the proprietor allows parents to come in and use the store as a play area. It's nice to have a variety of children's stores in San Francisco - from Baby Gap, where kids are allowed to "run free" to Mudpie, where the experience is special and, yes, sophisticated. Check out the small book section in the back for some wonderful classics as well as out-of-the box suggestions. I love to shop here for gifts!

Horrible! Not CHILDREN FRIENDLY, CONDESCENDING, SNOBBY, RUDE...

by momsf

"The staff is so snobby!" Is all I heard about Mudpie from other moms but "snobby" is actually a generous description for what parents really experience at Mudpie. The owner actually yanked a toy out of my child's hands without asking me or my child. This was very disturbing and upsetting to both me and my daughter. It's clear that the owner has serious issues. The staff is dismissive and downright disrespectful. It's like the wicked witch of the west's children's store. Amazing. Boycott Mudpie.

• Pros: No amount of pros can outweigh this con!
• Cons: Owner and staff are not just unfriendly but downright disrespectful to children and parents

VERY RUDE SERVICE - DO NOT SHOP HERE

by twoundertwo

As a mom of two under two, I've gone to enough children-related stores in the area. After passing by several times admiring the window and products, I finally went in to look for infant clothing/bedding.

I looked around and saw a couple of pieces of interest and ask some basic questions (e.g. price, size, material, etc.). The person at the counter, who turns out to be the owner, treated me so rudely and disrespectfully that I turned and left as quickly as my feet could take me.

Frankly, I don't need to be treated like a 2 year old and have a low tolerance for snobbery!

While the products may be cute - the service is atrocious!! There are too many other boutiques in the city that will serve you with a smile and be thankful for your support.

• Pros: Cute Window Dressing
• Cons: AWFUL SERVICE AT HIGH PRICES
