Ive been observing the curation of Poet and/the Bench regularly as a neighbor and am constantly impressed by the level of craft and the inspiring themes of the artists they feature. Owners Jeffrey and Bonnie are passionate about design and telling the stories of each maker. It makes me feel connected to the work in unexpected, good ways. Come check it out. You’ll enjoy the experience!

Love this place! Husband and I literally stumbled across this gem- cant help but keep going back! Originally tried on a tile necklace with unique fastenings to chain, a masculine leather bracelet for hubby, and now he went back and found another unique necklace and bracelet as a gift.Its truly difficult to find unique gifts, as jewelry stores typically have the same stuff. This is jewelry and other gifts, from an exquisite couple who is passionate about supporting local businesses. Theyre lovely. PLUS when you make a purchase, you get the cutest simple wrapping and an air plant! The air plant is a gift itself, with while rocks and different shapes in cement. So simple, so cool. People keep asking where we get the plants and jewelry! Go support your local creatives and come home with a piece that youll love and show off.

Obviously, a jewel box! This wonderful store, just moved to bigger, better digs, has the most exquisite jewelry as well as stunning art on the walls. It is virtually impossible for me to walk in and not fall in love with one piece of unique and lovely jewelry. The petite and so very unique rings make my heart sing...so I buy a couple....blown away to see they have Roebuck’s abstracts hanging ...first saw them at Lola’s SF then Open Studios. Wow. Throckmorton Rocks.

Love at first sight! Ever since Jeff and Bonnie opened Poet and the Bench Ive been smitten with everything they so carefully curate at their beautiful store. Theyve continued to expand the artists they showcase and always include unique designs in all price ranges. Ill go in to look for a gift and then see something I cant live without. My boyfriend gave me one of Jeffs pieces and I get compliments on it every time I wear it - which is almost every day. And now with their custom candles, tea and bath soaps, its quite irresistible!

I love Poet and the Bench. I go there for most of my gifts. A wonderful collection of original artistic jewelry, pottery, candles, wall hangings and so much more. Exceptional and unique place worth your time to see.

The shop is amazing! Its so well curated and welcoming. I always walk out with super hip and unique gifts (of all price ranges) that people LOVE (and RAVE about) and I invariably find things for myself that fetch tons of compliments. Its a delightful experience every time - highly recommended!

What a great find! Jeff and Bonnie, the owners of this quaint shop ~ are lovely people. Their shop is full of a variety of different artist creations. Perfect place to pick up gifts and support a fast growing small business in downtown Mill Valley. The jewelry is unique and quality-made. I bought a beautiful pair of earrings I adore ~created by Danielle Weldmond. I also purchased a natural cologne that my husband loves.***jewelry, candles, scarves, wall art, pottery, the list goes on....***Wonderful place to drop in ~ you may just find the perfect gift for your Valentine!

I just love this store. Its kind of place you can meander in. Everywhere you look there is something to see (and buy!). Great for unique gifts.

My one-stop shop for ALL special occasions ... my wife loves Jeffreys jewelry ... always fresh, cool and elegant.
