The toys from here last forever - they're meant to since most of these are used in classrooms/schools. Quality and long-lasting toys mean that you can give them away to family members or friends later, and they'll still be of great quality! As a tutor, this is an excellent store to buy quality teaching supplies (laminator, cardboard paper, glue sticks, gems, etc.). On some weekends, they offer fun/free arts & crafts activities for kids - keep an eye out for the store flyer or texts/emails for these events. They always have sample toy sets out for kids to play with or try out before buying - perfect to keep their little hands busy while parents/teachers shop! They have lots of sales or coupons throughout the year as well. The staff is so kind and helpful - shoutout to the team for their continuous quick assistance and support! Parking lot is small, but we never have trouble finding parking.

I…read morecame across Misto Lino a quaint well decorated merchant that offers a selection of various items, and trinkets at a cost that may be outside of one's budget. Your purchase there would be worth the price paid as their items are well cared for, and I feel are worth the cost. Their inventory consists of a unique variety of items also home goods too! If you are ever in the Lafayette area I highly recommend stopping by this amazing establishment. One would not be disappointed. I will add that the staff there is very friendly, and I myself have engaged in conversations with each of them simultaneously. These ladies are awesome, having dynamic personalities. They are: Marilynn - Sales Associate Melinda - Sales Associate Sandy - Sales Associate Happy Hunting, William K.

She said something that didn't make sense about it and I didn't think to check what she actually sold me until I was home. I was quite dismayed and shocked when I saw that she traded the beautiful item I selected for one of lesser quality. It was quite deceptive and I still can't believe she had the gall to do such a thing to an unsuspecting, paying customer. I will not trust that woman again. Buyer beware.

As there are MANY candles and home decor goods, I proceed to open a jar at the register to explore the scent when she abruptly and rudely said "Don't open that! It's honey! The candles are over there!" Go figure. I doubt I'm the last adult person to mistake a jar for this, given the store merchandise ALL around (you don't see foodstuff, you see pillows, tchotkes and candles, not jars of honey that could be spilled). Needless to say I left thereafter and wished her good luck with business. Treat your customers with better service and respect. She was rude. I won't be shopping there, nor recommending other locals to shop there either. Inventory and decor style still the same from its inception years ago. Curious to see how long they remain in business.

Items are more pricey than the big chain stores but it's okay because when I need something in a pinch, this shop is perfect. On another occasion, I stopped in for a specific type of birthday card that they didn't have when I eyed the Chinese New Year red envelopes. The price? A couple dollars for one. Yikes! Parking is generally easy and free. The staff is friendly and helpful. Please support this local business. Go in and browse the goodies here.

They have journals, planners, planner refills, Crane stationery, and a selection of fine gift wrap. You can find Claire Fontaine and Rhodia products here, as well as a few European and Japanese brands. I can usually find what I need here without assistance, so I don't really have much of an opinion about the customer service except to say that it's not exceptionally warm personalities at the register. This isn't important to me, but if it is for you, this is not a place where the staff will hold your hand or check on you actively. Still a solid little neighborhood stationery store, and very different in terms of stock and character from its sister store in Berkeley's Elmwood Neighborhood (I shop both).

Even hats with Martinez on it, they were super cute. You walk in and you really see a lot of different items. All the way in the corner there was an area of pickled items, pickles, yummy yummy! The store was extremely clean and it's definitely a place that I would get someone a gift that's different than anything online. You can tell that the items are newer, nothing seems to sit on the shelves so I'm happy to see family owned business flourishing! I love giving back to my community and buying local.

This Dollar Tree is a drag. I've been coming in here on and off for the four years that I have…read morelived in this dusty, dull little town, and I leave disappointed, every time. Why are the shelves so poorly stocked at this location? Moraga is supposed to be a rather tony/shi shi little town, as evidenced by the many luxury cars and upscale homes, so one wonders why the pickings are so slim here. Shelves are better stocked at other Dollar Trees I've been to. The people who work here seem generally pleasant, unhurried, cordial, and willing to answer a question, so that is one "plus." But it gets old fast when you come in for the hundredth time and can't find half the items you were hoping THIS TIME would finally be on the shelves. Do better, Moraga Dollar Tree.

She even had to fill up balloons while trying to get the customers through. I had to make a return and the cashier tried radioing the manager for almost 10 minutes without a response. During this time, I just stood at the end of the register while she checked people out (and kept radioing the manager). While waiting, I noticed two people outside cleaning windows and sweeping. I asked the cashier if that could be the manager. I went outside and sure enough the manger was out front with another employee who was sweeping. When she answered that she was the manger, I felt like I was inconveniencing her by asking for help. She asked me for my receipt and looked me up and down, then told me I couldn't make an exchange because she doesn't take returns from other dollar trees. Her whole demeanors was abrasive and short. She didn't acknowledge the cashier or apologize for not having a radio or checking in. FYI, I was trying to exchange one print of contact paper for a different one and purchase more of it. She didn't acknowledge the fact that I stood there, unable to do what I needed to do for 10 minutes because she didn't check on her store. I expected a bit of professionalism, especially when being told I can't make a return.
