It's a lot smaller than the one at Erin Mills. The selection of music, TV and DVDs are pretty good and up to date (expect for the Kpop albums). There is a small Kpop area. The pricing (in general) is fairly similar, even with music stores that solely sell Kpop music and merch. The staff are friendly and will help you with questions and look for something specific.

This is such a gem I will defiantly visit every time I'm in Toronto from now on. Honestly feels…read morelike you're in a store you'd find in akihabara. Expect figures stacked to the ceiling and very narrow isles it is very evident that this is a mostly online distributor. You would be wise to look at their stock online and do in store pick-up, the capacity of the store is very small like it's rough to have more than 5 customers browsing. There's a phone # on the door to call to be let inside. Which is pretty reasonable considering the amount of expensive merchandise and small capacity. Employees are very helpful! Since there's so many figures nothing is physically priced so you will probably end up using your phone to reference their website the whole time you are there. So if you're planning a trip check their stock online first! From what I saw the inventory is accurate and you will have a easier time knowing what you want already. Pricing is mostly retail sometimes a little inflated but considering you are in Canada and won't have to pay international shipping you can get some pretty good deals on rare and high demand figures. Also they have a fee membership program that gives you a nice % off. They also have a pretty big selection of gatcha and other anime merch which was a nice surprise ^^

This location moved down the street to include a cafe and a sitting area. It still has a very good…read moreselection of toys, stickers, posters, music and stationery. I got poca photocard, a few lomo cards and a matcha iced latte with tapioca. The pricings for the cards were pretty well priced. The matcha iced latte was some of the best I have tried. The girl there was friendly. Service was pretty quick (granted I visited about an hour after opening).

3.5 stars I am a fan…read moreof the store but it's on the pricier end. I suppose when comparing prices for Kpop cds if you factor in shipping online it's about the same. They have a large selection of Kpop cds, plushies, stationary, pins, jewelry and lots of knick knacks. Staff are friendly and greet everyone who enters and leaves the store.

The spacing store is one of those places that I like to keep secret, because not a lot of people…read moreknow about it. And, this is a shame because everyone should know about it. However, at the same time the gifts that I can buy there are so unique that people have no idea where they came from and so you get a lot of social credibility from it. That said, if you are looking for beautiful art prints of all the neighborhoods in toronto, you can come here. If you are looking for passports to Toronto libraries, or cafes, you can come here. If you are looking for children's books about the city, or TTC related clothing and pins, or niche Toronto merchandise, this is the best store in the city. You're not going to find any better patches to sew onto your coats or bags, any better keychains, magnets, books on local history, or even games. The store is absolutely worth your time. And, if you are showing some guests around toronto, it is worth stopping in here too. Plus, it's on such a perfect walking tour of the city that why would you pass it up?

What a lovely shop! Unlike those random run-down souvenir…read moreshops around the city which sell ordinary Canadian things like maple syrup, maple cookies, smoke salmon, or key chains, this shop carries stylish, memorable, and unique items that you want to give others to introduce to Toronto! The store is in an art hub building @ 401 Richmond, carefully selecting Canadian and Toronto-themed souvenirs/gifts designed by local artists. Bought a tea towel with different TTC station signages. It was for a person who was leaving Toronto :) It was a big hit! Feels good when I can give a Canadian gift that I knew would be appreciated, and I would also like to receive from others :).

Visited just before seeing a comedy show and got 2 card holders…read more The shop is really cute. Staff were friendly. Though things are a bit pricy, there were a ton of cute stationery supplies and small gadgets to choice from. Also, it seems like the target audience is more towards a younger audience compared to Hanji Gifts.

ONESIES. The shopgirl was very friendly and attentive! I browsed around for a long while and really looked at everything; there are a lot of knick-knacks in here that my friends/co-workers would like as "just because" gifts. No need for an occasion. Just because! I did kind of fall in love with the fuzzy bunnies. At $28, they were a little out of my impulse buy price range; then my eyes landed on the mink one. OHMYGAWD. I'm not normally into fur stuff... but guys... SO... SOFT! But it was like $100+, so I knew I had to shuffle my ass out of there before I pulled the plastic out. Whew. I got myself a cute pair of socks for $4 and a cat ear headband for $10. The reason I'm docking one star is that the prices seem a little inflated. I know for a fact that some of these items sell cheaper in similar shops on College. But! If you like the shop on certain social media, they give you a percentage off. So that helps. Mao mao!

They have a surprisingly large inventory of items considering their small space, all absolutely adorable! Somethings you might want to keep in mind- they don't restock very frequently (which makes sense because it's quite a small shop!) and certain items such as the washi tape and 6-ring binders only have one copy (and likely won't be restocked quickly)- so if you're eyeing one of those, make sure to snag it!

It seems like a popular store and really easy to browse around. There are so many options to pick from (ex pins, keychain/mini, outfits, regular sized). The pricing is fair for the quality and appeal of the plushies, particularly for those looking for collectible items or gifts for special occasions. You don't feel rushed to pick one(s) you like (including the sticker packs at the cash registers). The staff were friendly and will give these cute info cards associated to what you picked out when you pay.
