Sword & Rose, Cole Street, San Francisco

This place is so easy to walk past if you're not paying attention - it's like a secret garden tucked away at the end of a little alley. The guy who owns the place, Randy, is totally cool and wouldn't look out of place as the lead singer of a rock band. He is also very knowledgeable and even blends his own incenses (which are amazing). There is a large selection of incenses, candles, crystals, cards, jewelry - you can get all your metaphysical needs taken care of in the Sword and Rose.
