I have been to this store many times. To buy tea, hand cream, scented candles and small gifts. Last time I went to the store with my friends, I saw a pen I really like. The gentleman spent a great deal of time explaining the qualities of the pen to us. My friend was able to get her but they did not have the one I like in stock. After looking else where for other pens, I returned to this gift... more
Loved this store!! Wasn't sure what to think of the name at first, but was so surprised at what a cute store it is! It was full of beautiful cards and stationary. The prices were fair too. I like tea, but today I was more interested in the stationary. The owners were so nice and friendly too!
Charming cozy luxurious boutique with a warm homely but still classy feel. The man who works the counter is friendly, polite, and in a business suit. According to other Yelpers, he seems to always be well-dressed. He also has a cute pet daschund who walks around the store. I love their tea selections here. My favorite is the Chocolate Strawberry tea bags in a tin can. I love loose leaf teas... more
Have some nice English-style tea sets on sale. And high quality Japanese dishware too.
Big fan of this store, ever since I first visited over a year ago. Since then, they have added on to their collection of wonderful soaps and scents. It is hard for me to keep my wallet shut when walking through here. From the lotions to the tea ware - it's all so tempting! The prices are a bit high, so in a way it's good that this store is far away in Steveston. =P
The minute you walk in you're greeted by a well dressed man in a suit (not sure if he wears that all the time or just for today). They are one of many knick knack gift shops in the area. Good selection of things, some that are exclusive, however, most that you can get elsewhere. My biggest problem was that most things were WAY to overpriced. Customer service was friendly.
This is a great store with wonderful pieces and teas. It's quirky, quaint, quiet and lovely. If you have know someone difficult to shop for you'll find something in here! The only complaint is the slow service and layout of the store. They have their cash register and display pens in the same area so it gets congested extremely easily and it can be frustrating for the customer that just has one... more
Love this store, even though the things I love most are a little pricey.
They have the best tea but I'm going to only talk about one. They have a cough soother tea that is delicious and perfect for the winter/cold season. It works as it says and as a minor experiment, I mixed the tea with apple juice.
Oh my god. Like the best apple cider ever. It didn't just soothe my throat; it made my day.

This precious store keeps Steveston what is it... a quaint, thoughtful, and unique place. Firstly, I always enjoy popping in this store to be greeted my the friendly store owner and her adorable wiener dog! He doesn't like other dogs, so if there's one outside, he'll start yapping away. Oh dogs...
I really enjoy the organized layout of the store. As you enter to your right, there will be a...

A quaint little gift shop that I always visit everytime I am in Steveston. I can browse forever!
I love their tea pot sets, candles, cards and just about anything in this store. It's a little pricey, but if you're looking for a gift to give that person who has everything, take a look inside Nikaido.
Cute little shop right in the heart of Steveston. This town is changing again and it's just going to get better. Nikaido seems to have been here for years and they have a great selection of all those things you don't really need, but kinda want when you're there.
Drop by and check it out. Definately worth a visit and you may end up getting something different.
This store helps make Steveston special. I almost would say this is what makes it special. What an amazing store, and it has almost everything I love.
They have their own line of tea that has incredible teas such as Paris (a caramel and currant earl grey tea) and Snowflake (a coconut and almond black tea). They also have traditional matcha, and the supplies needed to prepare it. Along with...

I can't go to Steveston and not visit Nikaido Gifts. It makes me want to open my own little shop like this in New West. They have a wide range of items but I am always going in for the variety of tea and tea accessories. They can be a bit pricey in the accessories department but you can always find a good deal.
On a previous excursion there I purchased a beautiful Japanese inspired teapot and...

Everytime I'm in Steveston, I love visiting this store. As other reviewers have mentioned they have a great selection of teas but they also carry a wide selection of cards and other unique gift items like beautiful journals, home decor, incense, and yummy smelling body lotions. Worth a visit!
This is a really beautiful shop to check out in Steveston. They have so many different teas - beautiful jasmines, and all kinds of unique ones like cocoa almond, Paragoa prince (sp?), Paris tea, so many unique smells and purposes. Lots of unique tea accessories, Japanese style dishes, beautiful teapots, gift cards, head massagers.... The scents of everything are crisp and modern, such as... more
This is a must visit shop in Steveston. I always grab my Moleskin notebooks and diaries here.
