    Site was very well stocked with many great items to choose from!! I had come in to see what was available as I had not planned on making a purchase. The employees were very attentive and even asked my group if we had signed up for rewards and to check what discounts we had available. We only walked half the store. I had a few items to think about purchasing in the future. There's only so much Jack Skellington you can buy before it's too much. I didn't get to see any Loki items so that was a bit of a bummer. Had I walked the entire store, I bet I would've found something!!

    This is a very cute and interesting store at the Irvine Spectrum mall where I wandered around today. I forgot to do my Yelp check in because I was so enamored with all of the exciting candy and novelty items and wanted to buy some but didn't have time to wait in line. I took some cool photos though and I will be back soon!!

    Located in the Irvine Spectrum, this store is fun for anyone who enjoys popular or cult television shows and movies or all things Disney. A smattering of anime stuff is also on the shelves. The merchandise seems to change as certain films are released or as specific shows get "hot" on social media or in the entertainment media. There are a large amount of shirts but also a variety of other items that are branded with images or catch phrases. Some of the shows/movies I recall immediately are Harry Potter, Dumbo, Dr. Who, Friends, Star Wars, various Marvel characters (heavy on the Captain Marvel stuff right now), Lord of the Rings, Rick and Morty, Lilo & Stitch and dozens more Disney & Pixar classics. Also something called Kingdom Hearts, which I was unaware of until now, that combines Disney characters with anime. It was really fun to browse here and I saw several things I will come back to purchase as gifts but this time left with a single shirt for my nephew's birthday.

    Purchased some Pokemon Christmas Ornaments from their website. Item shipped in a bag. The box was destroyed during shipment. Company responded with "We are sorry to know that you recived (misspelled on a generic response e-mail) a damaged box. We will be happy to assist and would like to know that Funko Pops! are shipped in poly bags after the outer box, which is a shipping box and is not designed for display. It is designed to protect the inner contents during the shipping process, and we fully expect it (like all shipping boxes) to be subject to wear and tear in the shipping process. ​ We are unable to offer replacements or accept returns for any damaged shipping boxes. Please click on the link below for further assistance. ​https://www.hottopic.com/customer-service/faq/exchanges-returns/" What a joke.

    What an awesome store! Yvette (sorry if I spelled your name wrong) help me out while I was shopping around. It was my first visit and she let me know that it was a sister store to Hot Topic, honestly love this store a lottttttt more. More of the pop culture kind of stuff. They had an amazing sale, tees and tanks for $10 and the jackets and sweaters were 50% off the lowest ticketed price. Also, anything under $10 was buy 2, get 1 FREE! The variety was great! Comic book character based items, Sailor Moon, Sanrio, Disney, Overwatch, Stranger Things, etc. I had a blast looking around and seeing what they had. I became a loyalty member (free) where I can earn points and even use the rewards program online. I spent about $80 for a lot of items and got two $15 coupons to use at a later date. I also donated $1 and got this really cool box holder to hold onto everything. I can't wait to come back!

That being said, I am kind of put off by the staff that I've encountered on two trips. As I was checking out yesterday, I asked if edikted had an app or an email listing in hopes of maybe getting a coupon. The clerk turned towards I would assume to someone who was in higher authority and he shook his head no. As I started my way home, I happened to look it up and they do in fact have an app that offers a welcome coupon that you can stack. I thought that was incredibly misleading on his part. I absolutely am in love with the pants I got, but I ended up buying them online. Even with my coupon, it ended up being $10 cheaper than in store. I had to make a whole other separate trip to return my first pair. This could have all been avoided if you were clear about the app. There is a possibility that they weren't aware, but I find that hard to believe if you're in higher authority you wouldn't know. I work in customer service and totally get being overwhelmed. But this felt strange. Not particularly good vibes that would make me want to shop here again.

    I cannot emphasize enough, how much I enjoy going shopping at Garage at Irvine Spectrum with my…read moredaughter. This is always a daddy-daughter experience, one which she and I will always remember forever. We come here at least 2-3 times per week. There are so many reasons why we enjoy shopping at Garage, and why specifically at this location. Let me begin with the first reason - the employees. We know them by name now. There is Joby, the quintessential manager and leader, who has incredible empathy, sharp wit, powerful communication skills and strong leadership acumen. Most recently, my daughter lost her gift card for a substantial amount, and Joby was able to resolve the situation in a wonderful manner. Then there is the always wonderful Britney, who literally says hello every single time we walk in, and converses with me when my daughter is trying on clothes in the impeccably clean fitting rooms. Britney's vibrant and pleasant demeanor make us feel welcomed every time. This coupled with Maddie's outstanding zeal and energy, as well as Sophia's pleasantness and efficiency, make our Garage visits incredibly happy. Both Maddie and Sophia speak with me, I partially suspect to make sure that I am not uncomfortable in all girl's store; however, I also believe that they genuinely wish to engage in conversation. I usually quietly stand in one unassuming area of the store, so as not to interrupt anyone, who is either working or shopping; however, consistently, either Maddie or Britney will come up and either speak to me, while I am waiting for my daughter, or to both of us. My daughter engages in dialogue with the team here quite a bit, and feels very confidence in doing so. Britney has commented several times on how my daughter is mature for her age and a great kid - and I completely agree. It is nice to have some positive female role models for my young daughter. Also, I have read some of the other reviews for this location about body shaming, and neither myself or my daughter have felt this way. There has never been any commentary or dialogue, either direct or implied to make us feel otherwise. In addition, the team at this Garage location is so diverse in all of its variety, that I am challenged to find how this could possibly even take place, as the team embodies the demographic of the diverse constituencies it serves. In closing, the clothes are a little too edgy for me, after all, I am a middle-aged conservative father, but they are so fresh and cool, that my teenage daughter can't get enough and her friends at school always positively comment on them. I estimate that I spend approximately $1,500-$2,000 per year at this Garage location. We both look forward to our next visit at Garage Spectrum, which per my calendar, will probably be within the next 24 hours :-)

But the website said this location had 14 in stock. Asked a different worker (asian girl) and she went to the back and brought back an x small top and explained that the small sizes might still be in the shipment boxes, which makes sense. Really appreciate the help and clarification.
