TLDR: Fantastic toy shop with a huge and carefully curated selection. Wide variety of price points…read moreand fun for all ages. A few play areas plus a coffee shop. This toy store is the bee's knees! I thought I was taking my kids to a place for them to have fun but I ended up loving it as well. Aside from constantly running around to put back whatever my 2-year-old pulled off the shelf, I had a great time. Here's why this store rocks: SELECTION/CURATION: Fantastic selection. The store is pretty large and full of so many different things. There are your usual suspects i.e. dolls and dinosaurs but you can also find more unexpected items like a great selection of kites or a big shelf of finger puppets. The items seem very carefully curated. I noticed that a lot of their toys are from established quality brands or from overseas. Bought a little wooden magnetic train that was made in Ukraine. PRICE POINT: There are things at various price points. $100+ and under $1. So don't worry about your kids begging for a toy because there's a huge shelf of small toys (plastic bugs, balls, miniatures, and so much more) that are anywhere from .50 to $10. PLAY AREAS: There are several small play areas for kids including one that's more geared toward babies and toddlers. Aside from that, the whole store is a play area. Just do your best to clean up after them, obviously. BATHROOMS: Great bathroom situation. There are gendered bathrooms plus an all-gender bathroom. Each bathroom has an awesome diaper changing station with... drum roll please... FREE DIAPERS AND WIPES. I've never seen that before. So awesome. ALL AGES FUN: Honestly, this store is fun for all ages. There is a large rack of wacky sunglasses and a section for whimsical hats (obsessed with the Medusa hat). There are more grown-up toys like board games and puzzles (Rubik's cube and much more). There's a cabinet of collectible Matryoshka dolls. There are fun nostalgic items like a Sea-Monkeys kit. So much fun stuff to explore. COFFEE SHOP: There is a coffee shop attached to the store. It's super cute and filled with art from local artists for sale. Always awesome when you can get a coffee to give you an energy boost so you can be better at chasing after your kid. There are also two large chess sets available for use. Ultimately, this place is fantastic. I plan on bringing my family here anytime we need a gift for a birthday party. Amazon gets enough of my money already -- I'd be glad to support this wonderful shop and show my kids an awesome time while we're at it.

It was a small establishment packed with a variety of options. They have something for everyone if you ask me. The value is definitely pricey. My son bought an Iron man action figure for $35.

Although this store is a teeny tiny retail shop that has clearly outgrown its space years ago and…read morehas more of an on-line presence versus a large inventory actually in the retail space, we were happy to stop in and chat a bit about the Japanese toys we seek with the owner when we swung by. Not sure it would render a visit to go out of your way to this Austin location unless you were actually in the area, but we personally were glad to stop by. It is located amongst residential houses and next to small boutiques and various small businesses in the area. So not much of a store and maybe just call versus stopping in if you are seeking something. Or better yet, save yourself the trip and just visit their online store.

I decided to buy some collectible horror stuff while my kids decided to get random items. While we were in there browsing we noticed that they have an ice cream shop that's called yummi joy. They have a variety of sweets and treats that you can purchase. My oldest decided that he wanted ice cream so we got him ice cream in a cup. He enjoyed it. Overall Toy Joy is cool place full of toys, gadgets, and collectibles that you can look at or buy. We enjoyed the atmosphere and checking out what they had in the store. Plus they had Yummi Joy which had a variety of yummy items to buy if you are in the mood for a sweet treat.

The store's entrance has slightly been taken over by blind boxes, but if you step to the other side, there are so many exciting toys all over the place here. It's always a thrill to step in and find a little trinket to take home with me. A true toy store. We are lucky to still have some like this in Austin. RIYL: Childhood wonder

Little Limbo may not be large, as the name suggests, but it's really about the quality of items for sale here. I was able to find a lot of really awesome gifts for friends and couldn't help but laugh at a ton of items because they were either sarcastic or goofy. I dig that. The children's selection here is on point. I don't have any kids in my life, but if I did, this would be the kind of store I'd shop at. They have funny onesies and quirky and colorful toys, that you can just tell are from local artists and is unique. In addition to lots of cool kid's stuff here, they have a few home decor and accessories, some graphic tees, books and trendy greeting cards. I found a Michael Scott greeting card, which was perfect for my best friend. Five stars, indeed.
