I empathize with how hard it must be to run a physical toy store in the age of instant delivery to…read moreyour door. So I took my six year old here for that old Toy Store magic. Didn't really deliver. Lego with all sorts of cobranded Disney movies but no just... Lego. A staff that wasn't very helpful in knowing whether a game was a deck building game or strategy game. Those old school little balsa wood planes? Drones I seem to see everywhere? Nah, none of that. Oh well, just hard to really do physical retail when literally every thing and every piece of information is in a browser. They came up in conversation as having some sort of Pokemon night. Sounds neat so I checked the web site. There's literally no information. So I called the store. And got a recording or phone tree or something that's not very helpful. Not really looking for cobranded marketing doofers. Not really looking for "STEM" lazily slapped onto schlock.

I came here to look for a birthday present and found a cool robot toy for about $25. The lady at the register was amazing as she wrapped my gift and even added ribbon to the outside. I'll definitely be back to support and buy other presents.

This place is really sucky. I've been there a few times in a pinch when I need to grab something…read morefor a birthday party, and I'm totally willing to pay a little bit more because it is locally owned and not a big publicly traded company. But there is no charm. The customer service is nonexistent because the people who work there clearly don't want to be working there and aren't very friendly. To make things worse, they don't have a bunch of basics: no gift bags... Seriously? To run a toy store and not sell any assortment of birthday gift bags that we can use to put our gifts in? Also, no balloons. I guess that can be a little bit difficult because you probably need a helium tank, but for a toy store where people are purchasing birthday gifts, no balloons? Anyway, I've been there a few times and have left disappointed and won't be coming back.

I was very disappointed with my experience. The payout offered for gently used items was so low…read morethat it honestly wasn't worth the time or effort to bring everything in. Stores that buy used items like this just aren't worth it if you're hoping to get a reasonable return. For example, if you paid around $300 for a bassinet that's still in excellent condition, you may only be offered around $20 for it. The store may then resell it for $50 to $75. While I understand these businesses need to make a profit, the amount offered to sellers felt far too low to make it worthwhile. In my opinion, you're better off selling your items yourself through a local marketplace or giving them to a family in need. At least that way you'll either receive a fairer price or know your items are helping someone else. Unfortunately, I won't be selling here again.

If you're a teacher, you likely already know about this place and have been here numerous times. I…read morereally like this place, even though I have no children and teach college students. I tend to shop here for educational items for relatives and friends' children. The staff is very friendly and patient, even when you have no idea what you are looking for. The store is well lit and well organized, so you know relatively quickly whether the item is available. The have undoubtedly the best selection of educational materials for all ages of any store around. That said, they are rather pricey and it is easy to blow through whatever budget you may have had walking in. I would suggest shopping here last, as many things can be found at Target, Amazon, and other outlets. If there is something in particular, especially harder to find educational aids, then this is your place. Just prepare to spend accordingly.

I don't call it a complete waste of time because I was inspired by the products they do hold to create my own. Needless to say I did not purchase much more than poster items, which later I found Staples had a much better price. One thing I will say was that the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable of their products.

An absolutely charming, little gem of a children's store in Davis Square…read more I was drawn in by the fun and colorful window display/artwork. The fabulous display continues throughout the store, creating a very enjoyable shopping experience. The selection of clothing, books and toys are well curated for ages ranging newborn to small children. I had a lovely chat with the owner who was both friendly and helpful with my shopping needs. She let me know about a clothing sale they were having and provided fun facts about the books I was browsing. (Local authors sold here) I was pleased to see good Spanish book options, and ended up purchasing one as a gift. Many of the items here seemed to be "earth friendly", made with good materials at a reasonable price. I will be back to shop for gifts in the future!

It's always been super-easy to update my subscription and I love discovering all the pop culture gems when I visit: used records, CDs, DVDs, Disneyana, games, toys, and of course comic books! All at reasonable prices. I love the bins of action figures; you never know who you'll find! Free handicapped parking can be found in the metered lot behind the shop on Chestnut Street. There are also several handicapped spots on Moody Street. Shop is handicapped accessible, though it is a pinch cramped in the back. I've been able to maneuver with a rollator and cane. If you need help navigating or reaching anything, the owner is happy to help.

Even as a visitor, it is small businesses like this that make Coolidge Corner meaningful and valuable.
