I travel nearly 3 hours to shop here simply for the experience of seeing wall-to-wall toys and…read morelearning tools of all kinds. This store boasts a grand selection of unique and somewhat hard-to-find items, and I get a thrill from all there is to look at. I especially love that Old Towne carries Playmobil. Playmobil used to be more popular in Florida, as there were once a couple of Playmobil Fun Parks - one in Orlando, one in Palm Beach Gardens. The brand, behind Star Wars, was my favorite toy throughout the 80s, and somehow I just haven't been able to stop collecting them. The staff have always been welcoming and friendly, and each went out of their way to look up information about toys we've inquired about. The prices are decent. As a locally owned and operated store, I'd expect the price to be a little higher than what you'd expect from a well-known, brick-and-mortar business. There is a clearance section, which is nice, but it doesn't help me, particularly... At any rate, St. Augustine is Florida's most captivating city, and Old Towne Toys is one of its finest treasures, and my favorite part of going there.

This was such a cool store! I think I enjoyed it more than my 6 year old. The address (unsure if…read morethis is the one) I initially went to was wrong. Also the name is toytopia now. The young man working was very kind and it seemed that it was a very family friendly environment. The selection of toys ranged from baby Montessori to epic Lego kits and everything in between. We bought some small items and I felt that the price was very reasonable.

I happened upon this little shop while walking the shopping district in downtown St. Augustine -…read morethe member of the staff working was very inviting and offered to remove anything I may be interested in from the glass cases. This shop is filled with what I can only describe as man-cave oddities including specialty cutlery, metal models and just an array of things you don't see everyday, as well as some provisions e.g. unique coffee blends. It's not a shop that I could spend hours exploring but it definitely captured my interest long enough to look at all their offerings. There is a lot of inventory in a relatively small space. The store is very organized and the staff if very friendly so if you do visit there's no need leaving without having all your questions answered...

I came on here and searched out this shop's yelp page because I wanted to give it and its employees…read moresome recognition... I was at this awesome little shop this last Saturday, 4/22- fantastic inventory for a smaller shop. There are a few shops in the area with knife selection but they're utterly inferior (but fun to check out) compared to this shop. The one thing that showed me that this shop even existed was the awesome sign that says something along the lines of, "manly toys, manly hobbies"- I had to drop in to see if the sign lived up to its claim. As I've said, I was very impressed with the offerings they've got at this shop. Wasn't just that though- both of the employees on shift were absolutely top-notch. One of them was working on a tool or busy with something iirc but when I walked by him he greeted me and told me to please let him know if there's anything he can help me with. A few minutes later I took him up on it and asked if I could take a closer look at a nice camo para 2 I had my eye on. He dropped what he was doing and said, "oh absolutely brother, no trouble at all". Love the attitude. We chatted for a good 5-10 min, the guy is super knowledgeable.. steels/general metallurgy, guns, actions, history, etc.- the guy knew darn near everything. I forgot to ask his name but he's the guy who had a grandpa who worked on design for one of the big firearm manufacturers back in the day. I had just finished eating a big meal so I was a little sleepy- wish I remembered which manufacturer as that would help identify the guy (he and I were looking at one of the bright yellow serrated H2 knives that had a depressed glass-breaker at the butt of the knife's handle- we were both confused as neither of us had ever seen that mechanism in a knife before. It pops out when you squeeze the handle with the blade closed). He was great- best interaction I've had with an employee/salesperson in a good while- he definitely belongs in sales/customer service as he was warm, welcoming, very knowledgeable, conversational, etc. I genuinely enjoyed conversing with him and will definitely be back to this shop primarily because of him (it's hard to find good help nowadays- someone who actually cares about something other than tiktok, especially in the younger generations... I should know as I'm a part of those younger gens) but also because of the solid product selection. Anyway, there was a skinnier gentleman working behind the counter as well- he was great and very helpful. TL;DR : Come visit this shop- I promise you will absolutely not regret it! Great selection (Spyderco, Benchmade, Kershaw, Microtech, CRKT, etc), great staff, and solid location. I'll be back very soon! The only thing I'd like to see different is for them to start carrying Zero Tolerance. They're absolutely fantastic knives, rock-solid and they use great steels.

Most importantly, the prices are very fair!! (take note Acme in Long wood). Highly recommend you pop in and check this place out.
