    It's a fantastic store that my wife and I took our two daughters in to get a gift before they left North Carolina for our home. Walk around the entire store had a Lotta good gifts lotta good toys from ages zero all the way up until adulthood it had all kinds of gifts sweet people that own the place they are very nice very knowledgeable and very helpful. The store was really neat on the inside I had a good time walking around taking pictures and my daughters really enjoyed their gifts that we got them. It's a great Store I highly recommend you check it out

    The best toy store in Asheville! I absolutely adore dancing bear and I have been going there since I was a kid. I'm in my twenties now and I still love to stop by there to grab toys for friends and family (and sometimes for myself if i'm being honest). They have an amazing selection of toys and the staff are some of the nicest people ever. If you are a fan of jellycats or calico critters they have so many! They also recently started selling sonny angels which have been great gifts. The atmosphere of the store is so cute and I love that there is always parking available. I also appreciate that they do free gift wrapping! Overall It's just a great place!!

    Great selection of Spot it, which is hard to find!

    Rude staff on phone, overpriced and unhelpful. Try other toy stores in the area first.

    Malaprop's will forever be one of my favorite indie bookstores. I first fell in love with it back…read morein 2021 when I lived in AVL. I liked the name so much because I was the type of person who used malaprops a good amount. It's extra charming because you're able to order something from their cafe while reading your book. This spot is deceptively huge. The different sections are very intentional and beautifully organized. I had an especially great time looking at the "Beautiful Books" section this visit. I ended up falling in love with a short stories book by Chips Hardy that I took home. I also adored their graphic t-shirts here. I am not a big t-shirt person, but always want more graphic tees, so was so excited to love this one so much. I had a really special experience with one of the booksellers here on my recent visit too. I could not find The Enchanted April in the fiction section and when I asked, one of the booksellers got really excited about the author and that book. She passionately told me how wonderful the book was. We were sad to see it was sold out, but suggested I check a bookstore a block over. I love this bookstore and think everyone should make it a stop on an Asheville trip.

    Very cool independent bookstore in downtown Asheville complete with an adjacent cafe and tables for…read moresipping, reading, or conversing. It seems as though it's only open until the afternoon though, as it wasn't staffed when we were there. But there's still plenty of seating if you wanted to sit a spell. The bookstore portion is really well curated with a nice "local" section featuring local writers and interest. I love checking out this section when I travel and there was a ton to dig into here. They also have a good sized kid's section most notable thing is how many books they offer with autographed copies. That means they seem to bring in a ton of writers which is so exciting for the Asheville community. Speaking of community, I peeked at their events calendar and it looks like they have a ton of book clubs in a variety of different genres that meet regularly. So no matter your interest (romance, science fiction, mystery, horror, etc) you can find a meetup. Some are hosted in store but others in local breweries, libraries, and other third spaces in the area. Excellent offerings across the board!
