Choo Choo!! This is the kind of place you can get lost in. Not because it's vast, but because it's…read morepacked from floor to ceiling with things you need if you're serous about model railroads. They can answer any question you have and will take the time to educate you on the things you didn't know about the world or model trains. I loved it! I thought I loved trains until I met these folks. New, used, rare, they've got it all. Get off the internet and go down there to buy what you need in person. It's worth the trip.

I stopped by Central Coast Trains yesterday just to look around and I really enjoyed it. The store…read morehas a nice selection of Kato N gauge track sets, which I did not see on their website. I will be back to pick up one or two once I figure out what I need. If you ask me, browsing at a store like this is much more enjoyable than buying online. The owner was very friendly and I am am happy to support one of the few remaining model train stores.

Huge shoutout to Hobby Headquarters in Atascadero! I was hunting for Pinewood Derby weights and the…read moreteam was incredibly helpful over the phone. They gave me a real-time inventory check and saved me from a redundant trip over the Cuesta Grade--which, as any local knows, is a massive win! It is rare to find a shop that still offers this kind of genuine, personalized service. Instead of a vague 'we might have it,' they actually verified their stock so I knew exactly what to expect. Whether you're aiming for the winner's circle in the Derby or just looking for your next project, these folks are the gold standard. They've earned a loyal customer here--make them your first stop for all things hobby!

Stunningly beautiful store that is filled with so many amazing things. They have clothing, decor…read moreand little goodies for babies and kids that are top quality. Adorable and stylish you'll for sure find something for the little ones in your life. They also carry an amazing selection of clothing items for women. I wish I could say they carry plus size clothing but I don't see much of any when I come in. When I have seen things that looked larger they were more matronly looking. This is the only reason this isn't a 5 star review. They have some amazing home decor finds, as well as gift items and jewelry. They also have a great back room sale section (where the fitting rooms are). You can get some great pieces here for a good deal. You get what you pay for and here you are getting high quality, items that will last forever. I will for sure be back to shop!

It is worth your time coming into this record store. Everyone who works here is so nice and…read moreknowledgeable. They are not the "too cool for school" type of people. Prices are great and a great selection. Sure it is a smaller shop (still a huge selection) but that is only because they have quality not quantity, every record, cd, tape, record player or whatever is inspected before it is put on the floor. Other shops may have a bigger selection however it is records that you would never think of buying. Every record at Traffic Record Store is a gem, from hip hop to country from used to new they have it all at good prices. They do so much for the town. I highly recommend!!

Visiting from Nevada and was walking around and came across this place! I loved it! Great vibe and…read moregreat selections! Right as I walked in there was some cool hand Mande mugs with their logo on it from a local artist! I absolutely loved it! Has to get one for my dad. Sad I didn't find a record to add to my collection, but maybe next time. This place is totally worth checking out if you are walking around! I heard the guy talking to another customer, and it sounds like they can order stuff only and shipped to store. But again, just over heard. So maybe if there isn't something you see, ask to get it ordered.

Beware - this place is a tourist trap! I placed an order through their website and visited the…read morestore on 4/4, only to find out it was a complete scam. The owner actually laughed while telling us he had just warned another customer that the website isn't accurate and that he cancels all online orders. He still has the site up, fully functional, which is incredibly misleading. There are no graded Pokémon cards available--just loose singles. Shelves were filled with opened tins and TCG Live code cards, making it seem like the inventory is being tampered with behind the scenes. It's not hard to password-protect a website if you don't want people placing orders, yet the site remains live, clearly just to lure in unsuspecting customers. We called the store afterward to ask about our refund and were completely ignored--no one answered. Instead of focusing on Google reviews, maybe the owner should focus on updating his inventory and answering the phone. After three days with no communication and no refund confirmation (only a single email stating the order was canceled), I had to call my bank to reverse the charge myself. Total waste of time and very frustrating. If I could give zero stars, I would. Highly unprofessional experience
