Review from Octavio S.

2/8/2007
have you ever had a desire to watch adult entertainment and looked for a shop to get some? you walk in and then you kind of stop to look at the place because the walls consists of blatant, lude, uncomfortable posters? you kind of cringe and then feel dirty about ever walking in? you can't even look at the person at the register because it's usually some grungy hairy looking guy that has that look of "i know you're gonna get one of these videos and then touch yourself"!?! haha
well, look no further than 'The Galleri'...upscale, clean, comfortable, helpful, with over thousands and thousands of Adult DVD titles to choose from. this is like neverland for adults! it's located near the San Francisco Airport tucked away discreetly within industrial buildings. never judge a book by its cover. as soon as i walked in, i felt welcomed and thrilled to check out all the titles. don't even hesitate to ask the staff because they're always looking forward to get what you need or what you're looking for. the young lady at the counter is pretty hot when i was there, but she's very friendly and always ready to help out.
the best DVD's are on the walls. everything from Evil Empire to Oriental Dreams is here. all the features are categorized by studio; let's say you want to get Camel Toe's by Bang Bros. well, just search on the walls then bam! a whole section for Bang Bros., but on your way to search you find the new arrivals section, Zero Tolerance, Red Light District...wow! did i mention the toys? they have a nice selection of personal toys and lubricants which the staff will always try to educate you about.
enough, just head over and get some great adult entertainment! -
Review from M C.

Wanted to go shopping for toys and found this place on Yelp. Being right across the street from Costco made it convenient to go. Coming here for the first time made it hard to find because they are located in the backside of the building and signs are only on one side of Beacon. They only have a couple parking spaces so need to park at another business because there is no parking around there at all.
After finally seeing the sign while coming back in the other direction, I go in. The store is fairly big for an adult store. The store is loaded with Asian porn. They have a room in the back devoted for Asian porn and even has a TV playing it in the back.
The selection is limited to the adult stores in the Castro. And the prices are higher too. Nothing to say WOW at.. -

In my initial review of the Galleri, I gave the adult boutique a reasonable three stars. However, I'm overdue for an update and a revised rating. On my last visit, I felt the store was a little messy, especially the toy section. Well, I made another visit during Alexis Texas' in store appearance and the store was spotless. Every section of the boutique was nicely organized and stocked. There was no dust on any items or toys, as it should be!
Granted, the store was in its best shape because Alexis Texas was doing an appearance, but nevertheless. I showed up during the first hour and Alexis was a little late, but people didn't seem to mind. The store was well staffed and had music going and had Elegant Angel DVDs on sale, as they were sponsors of the event. There were two options for photo ops with Alexis, a professional DSLR option or a Polaroid. The DSLR was $20 for three poses or $10 or $15 for the Polaroid. I believe the DSLR pictures would be mailed to you within a few days.
It's nice to see an adult store doing things right..and legally! Most of the seedy shops in the city are pretty useless, stocking cheap toys and bootleg DVDs. Fortunately, they're closing them left and right as they should be.1 Previous Review: Show all »

Review from Colleen J.
Millbrae, CA
12/20/2010
They had the new Lelo products which is great
But they lacked FunFactory ones :( I believe they only had 4 products
I guess because Funfactory's gonna be a pain in the butt for expensive inventory but I was looking for Smart-Balls to give it to a friend so I won't have to commute all the the way to the city and shop in Good Vibes. I live in Millbrae yo.
They had an alternative -it was 18 bucks but I didn't really trust buying it because it had some ridges and thought that wouldn't work fine if they were to be worn the whole day. My friend happen to be physically sensitive... she said she felt her hymen when playing basketball when she was a virgin.
It's more of a porn shop, than sex device thing-a-magic shop. I mean they had a variety of sex toys, but I just wished they had wider/bigger inventory. But due to the Great Recession, I doubt that'll happen.
I really like the shower tools though. They had this handle thing that you can stick on the wall of the shower for standing-up sex, and knee pads for guys when they're on their knees, oh ya and a vibrating sponge and hand/legg cuffs you can stick on a bath tub. Prices were all reasonable as well
The place was quiet though, and secluded which is awesome so kids wouldn't bop in it.
I'll give it a 4 star because I think this place would be great for people who haven't been to sex shops. It's good for starters, it's clean, quiet, secluded, they had variety of toys but they had more porn than toys, sale associate was nice, customers seemed civilized -let's keep it that way
Oh ya, they didn't have gift boxes :( -
Review from Rhianna K.

the best adult store I've ever been to! It had a clean and pleasant atmosphere. They just updated their toys and novelty section and have an even greater selection to choose from. The staff was very friendly and very helpful. I didn't feel awkward at all because they were joking around with me and making me feel so comfortable. They also have a great selection of music to listen to while you browse and shop a large bargain selection with premium titles. I left the store with a vibrator and a tera patrick dvd. I will definitely come back here in the near future. A++!

Review from Alia D.

Awww c'mon, don't lie, you know you get your porn on! I'm a really open minded person and I like to explore different stores. All stars for being a clean well lit place for adult entertainment. The vibe here is pretty cool. Not at all like a Broadway place. It's a little out of the way and it's hard to describe (for me) to other people where it is. But like I said, vibe is cool, women can feel comfy coming in here. I'm really amazed at their selection; Asian, Hentai Anime, Gonzo (I don't really want to explain that) and their huge specialty selection, who knew amazon nipples would have their own section. . .

This was my first time going to a store like this and I specifically choose this store because of the review it had. The people who were working were super nice and helpful. I was getting a few gag gifts for friends and they helped me pick some out. My friends and I are already planning another trip. The only down side was it was a little tricky getting there but that more of a google maps problem than anything else.

no such feelings of embarassment or discomfort when i first entered this wonderful place full of best quality DVD's, especially when i went up to the cash register to pay for an asia carrera and tara patrick's spicy, steamy, racy films!!!..
this place has an abundant collections of various & numerous forms, traits, style of adult films.
the dvd's and novelties are neatly arranged, the carpeted floor was unstained & unsoiled and the decor & the lightning was striking...just amazing!
so, after the purchased i went home.....
NO!...i didn't watch it nor i manipulated or fondled myself!!!!....
but instead, i wrapped it in a nice, charming gift wrapper and gave it to my beau as a "surprise" goodie, whom i know he likes the said above adult entertainer!!!
he was delighted and really astonished that i went there all by myself!!!
again, i made the beau elated!!!
by the way, this hidden gem is tucked behind some industrial buildings! -

Review from Mike Hawk U.

This is a friendly little shop in a part of South City most people never knew existed. I feel like a kid in a candy store whenever I walk in here and roam around the shelves, browsing all that sweet sweet porno, from the classic films to the modern day gonzo and fetish stuff. Porn shops get stereotyped as filthy places where creeps roam around. Not the case here! Real cool clean place, I even bring my friends here when they don't believe me that a porno shop exists in our city. There's some awesome deals whenever they have a sale so I suggest people sign up on their mailing list to keep up to date on when sales are. I also have fond memories of this place cause I met Tera Patrick here. Tera Patrick is probably the hottest woman that has ever stepped foot in South City. Thank you Galleri for bringing pornstars to this city!
