San Francisco Tour: Emily Joubert Home & Garden — A San Francisco Treasure for the Design-Loving Soul
There are a few things we love more than wandering through San Francisco’s neighborhoods, discovering places that make us fall in love with the city all over again. One of our favorite places to revisit, time and again, is Emily Joubert Home & Garden, a boutique that somehow captures the very essence of California charm and timeless design.
✨ Where Beautiful Things Just... Appear in Your Hands
We always tell ourselves, “Let’s just stop by for a quick look.” (Famous last words.) Ten minutes later, someone’s cradling a gorgeous ceramic vase, someone else is debating between two equally perfect candles, and suddenly we’re talking about rearranging our living rooms — again.
This has become our #1 stop for client gifts. Whether it’s thanking a homeowner, celebrating a milestone, or just sending something that says ‘thank you for trusting us’, this is where we go. The staff even wraps everything so beautifully that we don’t have to fake being good at presentation. Win-win.
Roland’s been crowned Queen Bee and we couldn’t be prouder!
🌸 Meet Roland — Our Favorite “TWF, Friend”
This visit felt extra special because we got to catch up with Roland, who was recently promoted to store manager. We couldn’t be prouder — and honestly, we’re calling him our official favorite Tour with Friends, Friend.
Roland embodies everything we love about Emily Joubert: warm, welcoming, effortlessly stylish, and always ready with a great suggestion. He makes shopping here feel like chatting with an old friend who just happens to have impeccable taste. If you drop by, make sure to say hi — he’ll probably remember exactly what you bought last time.
🕯️ Why We Keep Coming Back
Here’s the thing: Emily Joubert isn’t just a store; it’s a vibe. It’s that rare combination of elevated and welcoming, beautiful and approachable. It’s where we go to find gifts that feel personal — and, okay fine, a few things for ourselves because self-care counts as “professional development,” right?
🪴 When You’re Ready for a Little Adventure
While we’re loyal to the San Francisco location, Emily Joubert also has beautiful shops in Woodside, Larkspur, and Montecito, each one worth the mini road trip. The Woodside shop, in particular, is a plant lover’s dream — part garden escape, part design inspiration board.
🗺️ A Perfect Presidio Heights Stroll
If you’re planning a little Tour with Friends of your own:
🍗 Start with our favorite bone broth from Proposition Chicken — the kind of warm, comforting start that feels like a hug in a cup. (Trust us, it’s the right call before any “serious” shopping.)
☕ Swing by b. Patisserie for a pastry that will definitely ruin your lunch plans, but you’ll have zero regrets.
🌿 End your day at Emily Joubert Home & Garden — say hi to Roland, pick up something pretty, and prepare to fall in love with at least three things you didn’t know you needed.
🫶 Tour with Friends is our ongoing journey through the local gems that make San Francisco shine — the stores, cafés, and creative spaces that remind us why we love calling this city home. Stay tuned for our next stop.
