If you're looking for gundam, historical model kits, Warhammer, ttrpg minis or just something cool: this is the place to go! I found a kit that has been sold out online for months- total score!! Staff was very kind and helpful. It's a small shop but has great vibes and if you need help finding things- just ask! The entrance is a bit confusing to find; it's through the shared doors in the plaza and up the short set of stairs. Ample Free parking in the area :)

He happened to see a Pokémon in the window and asked if we could go in. I didn't even think it was a shop. He's so glad we came in though because he found some stuff he had seen online that he hadn't been able to find in shops at home. He was super excited and his friends are a bit jealous of his finds. The store itself is well organized and the playing areas are nice. It's not big but they have good stuff for a good price. My husband says a lot of places mark their stuff up super high and he didn't find that to be the case here, so he was happy. The person working the counter was super friendly and of course he and my husband started a long nerdy conversation. He asked him to come back on a certain night but we were leaving Providence this same day so we had to say no. I know my husband wanted to come back. Maybe one day.

If I Could Give Zero, I Would…read more I'm a lifelong gamer. Tabletop, miniatures, RPGs, the whole culture -- it's been part of my life longer than some stores have existed. While on vacation, I went out of my way to visit this local shop because I genuinely WANT to support small businesses and the broader nerd community. I regret ever walking through the door. The moment I entered, the owner couldn't have looked less interested. Not a hello, not a nod, nothing. Just a silent, bored stare like my presence was an inconvenience. Only after I made it clear that I intended to buy a few things did he muster even the weakest, most reluctant attempt at customer service -- and even then, it felt like he was doing me a favor by acknowledging me. The selection was mediocre at best, but I still planned on buying several items to support the store. I picked up some paints and asked about a statement on their Instagram: "No Chuds No Bastards." I asked -- politely -- what that meant. His answer? "It means no right-wing f***faces." Classy. A bit taken aback, I clarified: what about someone who isn't racist, isn't hateful, but is simply more libertarian, pro-military, pro-police, pro-Second Amendment? Would they be welcome? His answer, smug and proud: "No. I hate the police." Why? Because, according to him, police "don't protect lives, only property." This man had no idea who he was talking to -- a law enforcement officer who risked my life at the Pulse nightclub terrorist attack to save members of the LGBTQ+ community. I have literally put my body between innocent people and gunfire. I have earned a Medal of Valor for saving dozens of lives. But in his world, none of that matters. Nuance? None. Respect? None. Just blind bigotry wrapped in fake moral superiority. He ranted against the military too. Apparently anyone who serves, protects, or runs toward danger instead of away from it is unwelcome in his store. Rather than blow up -- which he absolutely deserved -- I simply returned the items, told him I wished things were different, and left. Bottom line: If you are police, military, law enforcement, first responder, or simply someone who believes in basic respect for people who serve their community, stay FAR away from this store. They don't want you there -- and trust me, the feeling will be mutual once you experience the owner's arrogance, hostility, and pathetic customer service. Support literally ANY other local game shop. This one has proudly chosen ideology over community, contempt over kindness, and bigotry over business. It's not worth your time, your money, or your presence.

There are a lot of vintage pieces of furniture that she paints herself, and she also paints furniture that customers bring in. I bought a very cute handmade miniature vase on wire with fake flowers that I hung up in my kitchen. It fits perfectly with the French country theme I have going on in my house. They also have paint nights and artists who do commissions. I felt so comfortable with her that I showed her my work as well. You can tell the owner is doing what she loves by her interactions with me, I imagine she is the same with everyone who walks in the door. I definitely recommend that if you are looking to paint furniture or buy some already refinished, to check this little gem out!

When I saw this shop, I decided to enter. As I walked in, I saw Ashley, the manager, standing near the counter. I asked for her assistance and described to her what I needed. Ashley made some recommendations and showed me a variety of toys that were aged appropriate. She spent a lot of time helping me until I felt satisfied with my decision. I ended up with the 5+ Burger Truck (see pic). If you have small children, this place has everything: fun, educational and interactive. Also, I loved the fact that they have free gift wrap service and interactive toys for children to enjoy while waiting for their moms to shop. Enjoy shopping for your children Moms!
