S'il Vous Play is a charming toy store in the heart of Cleveland Heights - Cedar Lee District. This toy store is located in a historical Tudor building, former firehouse. It's a magical store that I wish I had to play at growing up. I can only describe it as an immersion into the pages of a fairytale, it's that cute of an aesthetic. You'll see when you visit!
Store: The store has two whimsical levels. The first level often has handmade decorations or twinkly lights. The second level has a gorgeous city mural. There is plenty of natural light. There is sufficient room for the kids to play on the second level and also shop. You can also linger outdoors at dainty tables.
Merchandise: The store sells toys for boys and girls of various ages. From dinosaur games to doll houses, you'll find so many things here. Toys are very high quality and very unique. A lot of toys are European made. There is predominance of wood toys and educational games. You won't find the basic boring and overplayed toys. You simply won't find toys like these anywhere else in the city. I don't have kids but stop by to shop for Christmas kid drive donations. It's always so pleasant to shop here and tap into my inner child.
I feel that the prices are very fair considering the quality of the merchandise. They also sometimes have great sales.
Service: The owner Mariah and the team at S'il Vous Play are such lovely people. Kind, attentive, and always welcoming.
Events: The toy shop offers birthday parties. I can't think of a more magical location to host one to be honest. And the location is so photogenic! Many moms I have met in the community had a lovely experience with birthdays here.
The toy shop is very involved with the community and you'll find them at various events. Bring the kids to the Heights Music Hop in the fall for music and fun. Look at the store's social media for more happenings.
For moms and non-moms, there are monthly women's circles hosted by the Little Scraps of Magic. The circles include tea, conversation, sound bath, and a space for womanhood. I mostly visit the store for these circles and they are soul medicine. They allow you to check out the store, tap into your inner child, and connect with local women.
Parking: Parking is available onsite, it's free. Overflow parking is right next door.
I can't recommend this store enough. It's just so beautiful, well designed, and filled with treasure. I highly recommend shopping here for your kids, your loved ones' kids, and checking out events. It's a true gem! read more
