    Such a fun learning toy store for kids and teachers. I didn't have much time to walk around to get look at the entire selection of toys but I was impressed. The toys are all interactive and help kids learn all sorts of things. From reading time, counting, math and critical thinking skills. There was also I nice section for teachers, decor for the classroom. Little prizes and toys you can give out to students. I found so many things for my niece for Christmas. I like the fact that these items are not just toys but they are learning tools. There is also an art section with colored papers, paints and brushes. Book section in the back. And all the items have age recommendations so you can pick the toys for your child's age group. Even as an adult I found this store fun to walk through. I noted some items I will come back for Christmas gifts.

    Club Teachers Anyone..

    I still enjoy coming to this place at the beginning of the school year. I come here, not only because they always have exactly what I need, but they always have good sales and teacher discounts with membership in their Teacher Club. (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/lakeshore-learning-store-san-diego?select=ej7rhunO0mYDTpdItMozRA#ej7r) I picked a class set of desk name tags with useful curriculum information on them, and I picked up some Common Core supported materials in writing, reading comprehension, and vocabulary development. They were all at reasonable prices after the discount was applied. Oh yes, with a check in, you will receive and additional 25% off on non sale item. I did, yippee! The employees are very helpful and very friendly at the register. Now I need to focus and start preparing for the upcoming school year..

    On sale!  Whoo hoo.  Perfect for organizing my tyke's art and large portrait pictures!!!!

    Wow... Literally any teaching tool is available here! I was super stoked because I got the coolest art and scrapbook portfolio to organize and keep my tyke's large masterpieces.... ON SALE! I scored because they only go on sale twice a year. Yep... I got two. Check in for a discount on one non-sale item. Great place to buy games! They also do free activities for kids on Saturdays. See pix. And super nice folks work here.

    Only $4 I bought 10 in all different subjects!

    I am so excited I found this place! They offer a great selection of workbooks and games I am seriously gonna stock up!! But parking is simple and you get a 20% coupon for checking in New items are arriving April 15th!!

    This store is pretty cool. As I walked in, the store had some door buster sales. There was so many items for kids, mostly educational including books, flash cards, crayons, etc. Pretty cool if you have kids or nieces and nephews. As I walked further back in the store, there was kinetic sand that kids were playing with. A lot to sample out here. There were employees assisting customers if you had any particular questions about the items they carry. In the back, crayons and colored markers were on sale. Aisles were organized and clean but it's difficult to maneuver in the store especially when there are a lot of people in the store. Once in awhile the store will have activities outside in front of their location with arts and crafts. The kids get to take their creations home once they are done. Pretty cool store!

    This might also be a teacher store as there were classroom decorations and workbooks on one side of the store.

Staples had a good quality, but Blick's were very high quality AND cheaper than Staples. This was the first time that I shopped at this Blick as they recently moved into this former Joann store from their India Street location. While this store is a little more out-of-the-way, it is a wonderful size for Blick, and all on one level. Items are easy to find and nicely displayed, making the store a joy to browse in. If they don't have it, you probably don't need it. They also have some fun not-exactly-art things, but fewer books than I remember being at the India store. Lots of easy parking.

I remember art stores were filled to the brim in inventory. With online sales perhaps competition is greater. Watercolor, oils, gauche, acrylics paint selection was magnificent. I hope they stock more 100% Cotton watercolor paper. The choices were slim. The manager was very friendly and helpful. Blick is on the higher side of art materials but there is a student and teacher discount. Thank you!

In 2025, shelves were cleared out and there were broken items or Christmas trees up for grabs. Well, I now have a second tree lol! I could not pass up this deal!!! A $600 tree for $150?!? I was super excited because it looks real and is beautiful. I'm so excited to decorate at the end of the year. I was impressed by the girl at checkout. She wasn't flustered by the crowds. The tree I was waiting to get packed for me ended up being packed and sold to someone else due to poor communication. She immediately made sure I knew what else was available and any additional discounts she could ask about on my behalf. Loved that! They were putting out Valentine's day and St. Patty's day stuff in December. I thought this is crazy but I will definitely be there next week for the Valentine sales. I love all the coupons weekly and the variety of crafts. You can't go wrong at HL.

    For a couple of months I've been searching for gemstones and geodes for my son's birthday, and I…read morerandomly stumbled upon this place while driving through the area. I am NOT disappointed -- the variety they offer is incredible. The moment I walked in, the energy was amazing. I made it about halfway through the store when a man in a beautiful blue polo shirt approached me with a fan of SuperLotto tickets. He told me to choose one. I pointed to one, and he laughed and said, "It must be your first time in here. Take one for yourself." I honestly thought it was a magic trick He asked what brought me in, and when I mentioned it was for a kid's birthday party, he explained that everything is sold by weight. He handed me a basket and told me to fill up the container with the colored gems and rocks. So I did... plus more. I walked the aisles at least 7-8 times because I just couldn't decide -- everything was beautiful. I spent way more time in there than I planned to. It's a family‑owned business, and Shlomo is such a kindhearted man. He even offered us a Nutella dessert. The whole experience was warm, welcoming, and honestly unforgettable. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this place. I'm definitely coming back with my son so he can "dig" the place too. A true hidden gem. I picked up a few large gems, 20 geodes, a basketful of gems, heart shaped rose quartz, a cat bronze art. well worth it! I was drawn probably because he shares the same birthday as my best friend!

She probably spent around 15-20 minutes with us. I got a sterling silver dolphin cuff/bracelet which they happily polished for me. It seems to be very good quality- they even offered that if it broke I could always bring it back and they would solder it back together for me. It takes a little while to find the right size/style but it is worth it! I will definitely be coming back.
