Avant Card has well curated stationery. This is where you want to get all of your cards and post cards. I had a pleasant exchange with the shop owner. She reminded me of a docent in a museum and the cards available are little works of art.

Excellent selection of cards for all occasions. I always end up walking out with a few cards. The salespeople are either a hit or miss. Have interacted with women that are helpful and greet you as you enter. On the other hand have also walked in the store and been stared at… no greeting nothing. Overall this place can definitely be more welcoming but the great selection of cards at very affordable prices and convenient location keeps me coming back.

I sauntered in here in search of a birthday card. I was carrying an empty coffee cup, as I had not yet walked past a trash can to throw it away. Instead of greeting me with a hello, the manager yelled at me for having a cup and informing me that food and beverages were not permitted. There was no sign to this effect. I explained that the cup was empty and asked if there was a trash can at the register. I was told that there were no trash cans in the store. SERIOUSLY!!! Too bad there is no zero star option…

The older woman with blonde hair, who works here, is incredibly rude. The merchandise is cards and stationary. CARDS! Kissing cousins to Walgreens and Rite Aid.
Yes, pretentious saleswoman-​not relics from ancient Greece. A welcoming attitude and lack of dripping disdain would go a long way. Buh Bye.

Nice selection of cards but the BITCHIEST rudest sales clerk ever shooting daggers out her eyes at the customers. So sad. San Francisco is a friendly place. Minus this space.

Much like everyone else’s reviews I would have loved to browse and find my perfect cards but older woman working there shoved me and other shoppers out barking at us «hurry and find what you need I have somewhere to be» — mind you the store wasn’t even closed yet. As a local in the neighbourhood I will stop suggesting this store to others. Terrible experience.

Been here twice now. Both times were sub-​par experiences.
The first time I came here with my children — WARNING — NOT ALL CARDS ARE KID FRIENDLY.
As I was browsing, the older lady barked at me saying to watch my son as he was touching the cards. Umm. Okay.
Then, when I found my card, the same lady rang me up and couldn’t have been less friendly.
Ok. Maybe she was having a bad day?
So I was downtown again and needed another card. I came here again. Same lady helped me and she was rude AGAIN! Mind you, I had no kids and I was buying a card from HER store.
No thanks!

Really want to write a great review, because the selection of cards is great… but the older blonde woman that is always there (I’m assuming owner management) is not a nice lady!
Seems like a card shop would be a perfect setting for warm, friendly, and inviting customer service. The customers are obviously thoughtful people getting cards for birthdays, babies, milestones, retirement, thank yous, holidays ETC, wouldn’t it be great if the staff were engaging and caring? Why would you even have a storefront if people bother you so much?
I will still come here for the occasional card, because the location is convenient and the selection is nice, but headphones are in and expectations are low.

Extremely pretentious card shop. Particularly the elderly blond woman. Nice cards, not so nice employees.

I wish I would have read the reviews before going in. The staff need to be fired. Rude, unfriendly, sour, & act as if they’re doing you a favor. Not the way to run a business.

The cards are great and original, definitely a good way to set yourself apart from the typical drug store birthday cards. However, the selection doesn’t rotate too often — after being in the area for about four years and regularly going to Avant Card for birthday cards, I have trouble finding new cards for friends and family. Also, service is very hit or miss — sometimes the staff makes you feel welcome while other times they don’t give you a second glance. Overall, a good place for an original card, not necessarily for good service.

I’ve always gone here to get cards as their selection is often funnier and more risqué than supermarkets or papyrus. It’s a classy store, and the ladies that run it are efficient and professional.
Honestly I never would have taken the time to write a review for a card shop. However after reading all the one star reviews by people who were called out for talking on their cell phones I have to say Bravo Avant Card Management! Thanks for policing the seemingly never ending rudeness of others who talk on their phones in crowded stores! I am going to walk up and pick up a couple birthday cards right now!

Don’t be distracted by the good selection of greeting cards at Avant Card. I’ve had the same experience with the staff that doesn’t seem to care that you are there and are perfect at making people feel unwelcome.
Here are a few other suggestions for greeting cards in the vicinity minus the attitude: MAIDO at Westfield Shopping Center 4th floor on Market, PAPYRUS also at the Westfield Shopping Center and another location on New Montgomery, SFMOMA MUSEUM STORE at 51 Yerba Buena Lane.
I’d even run to the nearest Walgreen’s blocks away before stepping into this shop ever again!

Went in here looking for a card. I was on my phone while I was looking at cards. The older lady who worked here was very snotty and told me there was no texting any of the messages on the cards. I wasn’t texting and I told her that. Right after that, she said that taking photos of the cards also isn’t allowed. Who treats customers like this?

Looks cute and they have some unique items and nice cards… just nothing that really appealed to me. I have seen many of these cards at big chains like Barnes and Noble — not very avant garde. Service was also non-​existent — the gal at the register didn’t even look up at the 3 customers, including me, in the store. Take a short detour to Papyrus a few blocks away.

This store has an amazing selection of cards to suit all occasions, not a whole load of ‘gifty items’ but it is a card store, so what do you expect. Cards range from designer, handmade to humor and I managed to find everything I needed.
Cards range from $ 4 onwards, so it’s not cheap, but then you can go to Walgreens if you want cheap and crappy cards…:)
The staff in store were all really lovely (very surprising based on other reviews!).

I’ve been here two times and each time they didn’t have what I wanted and it was really hard to get a question answered.
This last time, there were no other customers in the store and three employees. None of them looked like they wanted to help me. The person I did ask didn’t even bother to turn around and face me to answer my question.
I’ll go somewhere else.

Go in here and check it out, just don’t expect anything from the staff.
I am actually laughing at the reviews now as I didn’t check them out before I headed in here. I thought maybe it was an off day for the ladies behind the counter, but apparently not. Anyway, besides the cold, unwelcoming staff, everything else is great! Store is organized, clean and chock-​full of awesome cards, stationary, and gifts.
I grabbed a few items for myself and as gifts. I could have spent more time in here but we were in a bit of a hurry. So many cool things to check out. Stop in!

Nothing says «I Care» like a card from the Card Nazi Sisters. Not only do they have the best selection, but you get a built-​in story with your purchase, like them, yelling «NO WE DON’T SELL STAMPS!» at a tourist, or «SIGN FASTER!» at my wife filling out a credit card slip.
It’s hilarious. Never change, girls.

3.5 stars like Unilocal says.
Forgot a good friends bday card, sorry Michele, and on the fly after parking my car spotted avant card.
Limited selection… but what they have is pretty good. My friend, dear aquarian that she is, adores cats… and they have some great cat birthday cards.
So if you are in the market for great cat birthday cards… check it out.
BTW…they have a huge selection of valentines cards right now… and they are very nice.
Happy V day to all you love birds out there in Unilocal land.
