    This Miniso is quite large especially given it's in downtown Palo Alto. I have a lot of fun browsing here. There are a lot of trinkets, toys, and generally useless stuff but it's fun to look at and I do buy some stuff occasionally like blind boxes, storage organizers, etc. Their stuff is cheap but some of the stuff is definitely on the higher end like $10+ for some blind boxes etc. It's no Daiso! I am impressed by the amount of licensed merchandise they have here like Frieren, One Piece, Hello Kitty etc.

    Affordable, adorable and dangerously addictive, Miniso is sort of like the Chinese version of Daiso with a sprinkle of extra cuteness. The Palo Alto store is predominantly focused on cute plushies, toys and mystery boxes from your favorite IP. The place is large and stuffed to the brim. It's clean but it's only just opened so hopefully it stays that way. The staff is friendly and cheerful. It's on University so parking can get tricky during peak times. Overall, if you are looking for cute plushies, this may be the store for you

    Cute store! This Miniso is actually the biggest store that I've been to. They carry a variety of things! It's my first time seeing a store that has Canmake makeup and a variety of other Japanese makeup! Even dasique and other Korean skincare brand. The store is very extensive. We also purchase some cute hello kitty car freshener. It's located in downtown Palo Alto and they recently had their grand opening last week!

    Of course downtown Palo Alto wouldn't be complete with a Miniso. My kids love this store as it is your one stop shop for your trendy Asian goodies. From stuffies to blind boxes, various imported chips and snacks, Pocky, and even Pocari Sweat! They also have better iPhone cases, lanyards, and charms than the nearby phone shops. If you're new to the area and exploring downtown Palo Alto... this store is a mandatory stop.

    This is the biggest miniso I've been to! They have such an assortment of products for makeup to skin care to plushy's to have anything you can think of. They also have a lot of character Collabs so if that's something you're interested in this is the place to be. Everything is very affordable and very useful. They offer products that you don't even think you need but until you see it then you realize who I need this. Highly recommend this place to check out if you're in the area. Service is a little slow. We waited in line for a really long time where people in front of us eventually left the line because the people at the registers took too long. But overall, the selection is amazing. I highly recommend it hence the four stars!

    One of the largest Miniso I've been to. Thea have variety of collection including a whole 2 rooms for makeup!!!! Yes. You heard that right. I was able to find the bouncy thick sponge blender with the help of their staff and they are very friendly. Got 2 of these for $9.99 which come with a case. What a steal!

    miniso just opened up recently in downtown Palo Alto and they have so much cute things! Blindboxes galore and plushie heaven, with a huge canmake/ Japanese beauty/skincare section. Probably the neatest and most spacious miniso I've ever been to! There's more space to walk around aisles. They have whole sections for Sanrio, Disney, Smoko tayto, anime stuff from Naruto, One Piece, Demon Slayer, Jujustsu Kaisen, Pochita from Chainsaw Man. The cashier was super nice and friendly and she helped me with using the current coupon for blindbox promotion. There's alot of cute blindboxes I haven't seen before like the anime ones and Disney ones!! if you shop here often definitely worth to make a free account to stack up points and get discounts when you reach certain points. Really cute place to get gifts, plushies, blindboxes, and home items!

    One of the newest Minisos in the Bay and one of the best at that. This was my first Miniso experience and I got lost in the store for 2 years wondering around and looking at the things they had. I can see the appeal of Miniso! I am a fan!

    I got an RJ tote bag for 15.99 and many more.

    Cute store with a ton of variety. We needed a toy for a birthday party and were in and out in 5 minutes. FYI they 'don't do' gift receipts.

The place is larger than it seems from the outside, with multiple rooms and aisles of toys and gifts for all ages. This includes blocks and wobblers for toddlers, dolls and figures, dress up and jewelry items, miniature cars and vehicles, dinosaur themed products, board games, card games, mad libs, stickers, arts and crafts, science activity sets (like Rainbow Unicorns STEAM fun project), sports items and bike accessories, and so much more. Everything well organized into different sections, and even each section thoughtfully organized too. Such as the jigsaw puzzles labeled by number of pieces and age appropriate, making it easy for customers to find what they need. The selection of games and puzzles was extraordinary, with so many unique options, I wanted to get something for myself! But I have self-control. I ended up just buying an origami plane kit for one of the kids. The stuff here is on the pricey side, and I wasn't trying to splurge. Service was professional and friendly at the front counter with minimal waiting necessary, even on the weekend before Christmas.

My friend and I were seated at a table directly outside the small storefront, eating lunch in the shade on a warm day. Out of nowhere, a woman came out and harshly chastised us for sitting there, loudly claiming we were blocking her door (we absolutely were not). She continued to berate us, saying things like, "Who in their right mind would think it's okay to sit here?" She unlocked the door, and continued ranting and she stepped inside. As she came back outside, she would not stop. The whole encounter felt aggressive and completely unnecessary. If she had politely asked us to move, we would have gladly done so, though again, we weren't blocking anything, and the table was already there when we arrived. For such a small local business, I expected more kindness and respect toward people in the community and potential customers. Unfortunately, based on this experience alone, I wouldn't feel comfortable recommending this shop to others.

I went from a quick browse to walking in and staying a while. I browsed all the items and loved every inch of this store. It's a perfectly curated space. Every area has been well thought out and has a lot of different items for everyone. I didn't come in thinking I'd leave with anything but ended up finding a birthday gift a beautiful book about the ocean for a kiddo. I also found these tiny boxes that you turn and they play a classical song so that came with me too. I wanted to buy all the cards! I saw a woman walking around and let her know that her space was beautiful curated. She was very kind and I later learned she is the owner. She rung up my order and after asking if she had any wrapping for my book she found some leftover and wrapped up my gift. Gwen was very kind and has taken a lot of consideration on the items she displays at her store. They are beautiful and unique items in this store. I believe the price I paid was worth the unique value. There are signs posted to not take photos of the items inside the store so I couldn't get any while I was there but trust me the space is beautiful and the items one of a kind. I will definitely return and recommend anyone to come visit and find that unique gift for the special people in your life.
