It's so much nicer and more fun to shop for children's clothes in person than on line, and J&J has beautiful, high quality merchandise. I want to give a shout out to Chris, who helped me while I was shopping. What a great salesperson! Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful and efficient. Chris is an amazing employee and I'll definitely be going back because of Chris!

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!

I've donated to and shopped at this store for years, believing in its mission to support the…read moreArlington community through donated items. But lately, it feels like they've lost their way. Prices are high--even for incomplete items--and there's a serious lack of transparency. I recently looked at a used LEGO set marked "mostly complete." Priced at 25$. When I asked for details, I was told someone counted the pieces, but they refused to share how many were counted or what was actually included. Instead, I got a dismissive comment by the manager about how it sells for more on eBay?? If someone actually counted the pieces, why not be honest and mention it in the description? Is it 100 pieces missing or just 10-20? That's a big difference, and buyers deserve clarity if I'm going to spend 25$ on it. Worse, when I asked questions, the staff were rude and defensive, showing no interest in helping or being honest. It's disappointing and frustrating to be treated that way--especially by a place that claims to serve the community. I'm done. After years of supporting this store, I won't be going back. I won't support rude people who don't care about the community or the customers who make their work possible. I'm starting to question whether this is truly a non-profit store anymore. It feels like their focus has shifted to making profits rather than serving the community in need

This is always my first stop when shopping for the next season and size in Kids' clothes and shoes…read more You may not always find 100% of your to-buy list all in one place, but quality, selection, and condition of stuff here has been great. Worth your time to come a couple times each season because selection will change. I've discovered brands I now buy new as well, and feel encouraged about the reduced ecological impact of buying used. Occasionally, I'll have off days when I leave with almost nothing, but maybe one in 5-6 visits (and I'm pretty picky)

Whether you are thinking about cloth diapers, organic/low-impact toys, or a good babywearing set-up, the team at Diaper Lab will walk you through everything you may want or need. They won't upsell you, they won't convince you that everything will be fine--you'll get a nuanced, pragmatic opinion on the items they carry and why. In addition, the workshops offered are frequent and useful. We liked the idea of cloth diapers but didn't have any firsthand experience using them (besides thirty years ago, when we...used them), and the workshop we took was awesomely informative. These are NOT your mama's cloth diapers. No safety pins in sight! Having a baby is a challenge.

Also, the customers all wear their masks which is actually amazingly cool. "Sister" has some really great stuff! And once, I saw a "date" happen at the store which I thought was endearing.

This shop delivered one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had!…read more We were looking for a glider chair for our new nursery, and while Bellini Baby Furniture may look like a small shop, the gliders they had were the most comfortable we've tried in the greater Boston area (and we've tried crate and barrel kids, jordan's furniture, pottery barn kids, gliders owned by friends/family...). The gliders were also very reasonably priced (on par or cheaper than some of the gliders we tried in pottery barn kids) with tons of options for fabric customization. Beth was able to get us an appointment on short notice on New Year's Day and was extremely knowledgeable about the glider's make and quality. We ordered the glider close to our due date, but Beth did everything she could to get us the glider within a good timeframe and the delivery was perfectly timed. I would highly recommend this shop to friends and family. You should really stop by!!

We were looking for a glider and had started our search at some of the big name furniture sellers…read more Those companies were very impersonal and told us that there would be at least a 6-month wait for the glider we wanted. Bellini's gave us superior customer service and the wait time for the glider was much shorter. We also liked the fact that they set up appointments when you visit their store so they can actually listen to what you want and help you find the product that fits your needs. We ended up with a chair that really met our needs in comfort and quality.

If you're on the hunt for the largest, most up-to-date Jellycat selection, this is the spot for you. The staff is friendly, helpful, and non-judgmental about adults shopping for stuffed animals (as they should be). In terms of accessibility, it's just a 2-minute walk off the Coolidge Corner stop of the Green Line, and there are tons of available parking spaces behind the store for those with cars. Even if you're not a Jellycat connoisseur, this place is a go-to for little or big ones' birthdays. Everything seems to be super high-quality and trendy while still being reasonably priced.

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.
