Visited September 26th..see receipt…read more This place is off Broadway in Chico. After having amazing suishi at the Rawbar we walked over to this shop which is just a few steps away from the restaurant. They have so many toys! Stuffed animals! Puzzles! Jewelry! They have house decor items and some yummy smelling candles! This place is packed with so much stuff that the kiddos will have a blast looking at all the toys! You could spend hours in here! They also have nostalgic items which I love ( bought a mood ring and some funny gum). In the back of the shop is the Yo Yo Museum which houses the largest Yo Yo and Yo Yo memorabilia! Lovely shop with kind employees!

I love this place. I've got three kids and my philosophy has always been; buy clothes that are…read moregently often as possible, as kids grow like weeds! And as long as there is a nice selection of fashionable clothing in like-new condition at way less than half the price, why not take advantage of that? Of course sometimes you have to really look around for something. Other times, you walk in and find a bunch of great items all at once. Like any consignment store sometimes it's hit and miss. But for the most part every single time I've been in I've found at least one great item. Most often I walk out of there with a bag full of clothes! Bring your own bag of course. There have been a few consignment stores here in Chico over the years and I've always had good experiences with them. I've been going to Apple Blossom Baby for many years now. The owners are awesome! Not only are they friendly and honest people but I also happen to believe in their philosophy on a lot of things. They have an awesome work ethic and run a wonderful business filled with a lot of positivity. They hire great people as well when they're not doing the work themselves. It appears to me that they take pride in their work and appreciate their customers as well.

So much better than the two other once upon a child's I've been to in the Sacramento area.

I sold some items there and while you get less than you would selling them yourself, I don't mind because this is easier. Overall very happy and will definitely be going back!

UPDATE: Once again I wish I could give ZERO stars! My mother purchased an item for me and inspected…read moreit in the store. When she got home and sent me a pic, she noticed there was a hole in the seam. When she purchased, she used a $10 reward of mine. She went to return the item and they said they don't give the reward money back. I am furious! If I return something to kohls, I still get my rewards cash back. I've returned at other OUAC locations who also use Five Star to track rewards & I've received my rewards back just fine. They manually gave me back my rewards but apparently this store doesn't do that. There was one time their reward system was down so she wrote my number down to give me my points manually when the system was back up. So why can't they go in and manually give me enough points to give my $10 reward back?! My mom did the return without calling me to inform me they wouldn't give my reward back so I pretty much paid them to take the item back when you take into consideration they didn't give my $10 back. All that money spent to earn a $10 reward and now it's just gone. I'm so over this location. When I called the store, she said they were currently training a lot of new employees so things may be slipping through the buy counter. I'd like to point out I've been seeing things with holes and stains for a couple months now so that excuse doesn't fly with me.

I have been seeing adds for this store and finally brought my 3 year old in to check it out. He had…read morethe best time! The girls working were so friendly, they even let him scan his own items when we were ready to check out. I'm so used to being in stores in Chico feeling like bringing my child is annoying to the people working there and had the exact opposite feeling here- it was refreshing. Thank you Learning Express!

Every person I sent into this store to purchase something for my daughter's birthday was told the box was sold out. They are supposed to call if the box sells out - that never happened. The owner called and assured me the box sold out and was not misplaced. After opening her gifts, she did not receive a single item she chose for her box. This was disappointing to a 6-year-old who was really excited to do this birthday box thing. I'm back to buying birthday gifts for the many parties we attend for my kids' friends at Target or on Amazon. And every parent I speak to will hear about our experience.

Even the classics and poetry sections were practically entirely white, the only non white poetry book I found was by Rupi Kaur (bleh) and it was stuffed into the back of the last shelf. It's 2025 people, beyond time to diversify our bookshelves The reason I am giving this 2 stars instead of 1 is because the prices are good. If you only care to read mainstream romance books it may be a good place to check out.

I explained this to the friendly clerk, who then brought out the owner to speak with me. Unfortunately, he turned out to be the rudest, most disrespectful and dismissive person I've ever encountered at a store. He launched into an angry loud diatribe against me, apparently thinking i was trying to sell him comics, which was never my intent. Without ever trying to find out why I'd come in, he vented angrily, then turned his back on me and walked away. I've never felt more disrespected and misunderstood in any local business. Such a person really should find a different line of work.

He screamed "Great! Then go sell it online"! Cause he through his arm as he was speaking! Like wow! I will never shop here i have in the past but I never will again!

What a nice antique store. And big with an upstairs and a back building! One thing I was looking…read morefor was sheet music for Bookguy and they had some, but it was inaccessible at the time I was there. I saw lots of beautiful, nicely priced furniture, costume jewelry cases, vintage clothing, soaps, chalk paint, and vintage household goods such as dishes and bakeware. We only spent an hour looking around but could easily have taken a couple of hours or more. Since anything I bought would have to be packed in a suitcase or carry on, I decided there wasn't anything I couldn't live without at that time. If you're ever in Chico CA, this is a great stop for looking at antiques.

Like most antique stores there were some absolute steals while others are really expensive but overall we felt the deals were fair.

The scenery and atmosphere in the café are very calm and soothing. Excellent lighting too, making for a great reading area. And now the rest of the store. The selection of books and magazines is impressive at this store. I love going down the aisles, taking books off the shelves and sampling them a little before making a decision. There are chairs out in case you want to sit and read for a while. It's wonderful that Barnes & Noble is still around, because I just love book stores. In our digital age, they sadly are practically becoming extinct. On to service, I have yet to have a bad experience with employees at this location. For value I'd say the prices aren't bad. They often have sales going on.

I left a previous poor review my first time going here because of the poor service and the constant…read morefollowing of employees under suspicion of theft. Since then, any time I go in it's only gotten worse. The only nice staff I encountered was those are the cafe. But my small group and I were very obviously followed, watched, and stared at when we went in today. The staff at the register, and older man, was also extremely rude and flat, clearly thinking we were getting away with stealing or something and was mad at us. Listen, I work retail. I get when people steal, it's frustrating. But profiling young adults and just obnoxiously following and watching them to the point they feel uncomfortable and don't want to come back is uncalled for. We were not stealing. We actually made decent purchases each. Do better. Treat your customers with respect. Not everyone is stealing, stop treating us like we are. This was certainly my worst and last time coming to this store. I'd rather make the hour trip north to Redding then come back to our local store.
