It's just that my preferences are kind of focussed now and they are selling to a higher audience. So good for tenn! They also have a lot of board and card games. Friendly staff and good location. You msg find yourself reconsidering a few items based on cost but that's more an industry thing than anything to do with the shop.

Nice wooden toys, cool lego, a really sweet collection of cuddly puppets in friendly fabrics.

She had cute little felt vegetables to "cut" or shop with, dolls, beautifully handpainted hair barrettes.... I picked up some non-detergent detergent Eucalan for my wool (apparently it has lanolin so don't use it on anything else as it will attract grime) and will report back. I used to use some strong perfume-y detergent but it is now making me nauseous.

They have many of the standard toys, but also keep up with the trends so that you can find that particular one your child may be asking for. They also have a lot of special toys that you may not have even heard of, and staff members are always happy to help you find the perfect toy. The store is family-run, and customer service is beyond excellent. Although there has been a movement to shop online these days, what people don't realize is that you will lack is the personal advice and confidence knowing you picked the RIGHT toy for your child with their help. I am a big fan of supporting (excellent) local businesses - you won't be disappointed with Jouets Choo Choo!

This store carries a lot of high-quality toys and games that are fun and educational. While the…read moreprices are a tad higher than what you might find online, say on Amazon, what sets this store apart is its customer service. The first time I visited the store, I was looking for a birthday gift for my husband's coworker's kids (whom I had never met). The gentleman I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and spent a very long time showing me different types of games and toys for children in that particular age group. He seemed to speak from experience, as he had two children of his own, and gave a firsthand account of what he liked about each game. In the end, I was drawn to a Camelot brainteaser game where you had to position and build blocks that matched a picture on the card. I later returned and purchased my son's Playmobil set here for Christmas; again, the woman serving me was helpful and friendly. I am impressed by their service, and will return in the future when I am in the market for more unique logic games for my children.

I scored a 1000 piece puzzle for 4$!! The first floor is mainly kitchen stuff, stationary, CDS/DVDS, and the hottest books of the moment. The second floor is adult books. The third floor is toys and kids books. I don't read much in French, so I often skip the second floor. But the third floor is so fascinating. They have so many puzzles and new board games, I love browsing. They have a tiny section of YA books in english, it will mostly be the popular titles. I love it here. It's so cozy and inviting. I wish they had some small areas where you could sit and enjoy basking in the glory of their products, but I probably wouldn't buy anything if that was the case. It is next to a Starbucks so once you've bought something, you can go grab a coffee and start reading!

Although I hate to call it a bookstore, as it sells so much more: The main level has toys, kitchen stuff, journals and stationery and cards, school notepads and office/workspace stuff, calendars, gourmet teas and chocolates and reading/book accessories. There were some small glass plates here that I regret not getting as gifts; at $6 each, they easily liked like they cost four times at amount. And there were some funky glass cheese platters as well that I regret not buying. Dang, I'm going to have to go back..... The upper two levels are comprised of French books for sale. This is a great store. Prepare to spend time here browsing.

The owners really have an issue if you enter and do not buy anything. I have bought 2-3 times books from this store before and I have entered quite a few times without buying, triggering frown on the owner`s face. The last time I was there my son wanted to see a book. We opened the first page and just read the title and the first sentence aloud to get a sense and see if it sounds interesting. Less than 10 seconds later the owner came and started screaming at me in very broken French that this is not a library and they have come here from China to make business. The book was in mint condition and while I tried to explain that I am just looking at it and considering buying a book, and that all the book stores normally are fine with customers looking at books before buying them, I was interrupted again and showered with another blurt of anger from both the owner and her husband so I left quite disappointed at the lack of basic customer service skills. Don`t touch any book otherwise you will be treated to a nice selection of broken French explaining you why you cannot enter their store unless you buy something. I guess in some parts of the world that is called business....
