I can't say enough good things about this treasure of a toyshop. The selection, decor and location…read moreare exactly right -- it's so cozy and inviting. The staff are definitely the cherry on top. My tween and his friends recently stopped in after a very hard day at school (bomb threat) and was warmly greeted by these kind souls. They had several board and card games open and encouraged the kids to try them out. We went back later to buy a few things, but it was clear that there was no obligation to buy. The enthusiasm and expertise of these wonderful employees can't be overstated. Perhaps they knew that the kids in our neighborhood were stressed out that day and needed some innocent fun; perhaps not.

We received a gift from here in August. When I put batteries in it never turned on. I went back to…read morereturn it and they wouldn't accept it due to covid. When I explained it was broken they still wouldn't take it back or exchange it. We went back a month later and they said it had been over 30 days and still wouldn't take it. Finally a third time going back they agreed to 'make an exception' and let us return the broken toy they sold. Then the assistant manager didn't know how to process a return. Huge time suck. Horrible costumer service.

The fabulous display continues throughout the store, creating a very enjoyable shopping experience. The selection of clothing, books and toys are well curated for ages ranging newborn to small children. I had a lovely chat with the owner who was both friendly and helpful with my shopping needs. She let me know about a clothing sale they were having and provided fun facts about the books I was browsing. (Local authors sold here) I was pleased to see good Spanish book options, and ended up purchasing one as a gift. Many of the items here seemed to be "earth friendly", made with good materials at a reasonable price. I will be back to shop for gifts in the future!

Love the store, most of the employees are cool. But the Anthony Fantano looking guy with the rat…read moretail is a straight asshole. Terrible vibes. Disrespectful to customers. Holier than thou attitude. Shouldn't be working anywhere near a customer-facing role. Walked up to the counter to checkout with some singles, said "hi", he stares at me like I'm an alien from another planet and says nothing. I ask what the limit policy is for the new Pokemon Ascended Heroes blisters, he curtly says "1 item". I ask "1 item each?" since that's how some of the other LCS spots are doing the new release. He repeats "1 ITEM" clearly annoyed. If you don't want people to ask questions about your store policies, either BE CLEAR UP FRONT or FIND EMPLOYMENT ELSEWHERE. Cut it with the vague ass bullshit. You work at a board game/card shop, get off your high horse. If he had simply said "1 item TOTAL", I wouldn't have had to ask for clarification. I wouldn't even be writing this review. He rings me up, hands me my stuff, I say thanks, he says nothing back. Like... why? All the other employees say "you're welcome" or "have a good day" or *something* when you check out. This guy doesn't even have the decency, basic manners or social skills to do that? Why is he behind the counter? Stick him in the basement where he belongs. I've been frequenting this spot for awhile. They have a great selection of singles, and I love flipping through their binders to see what I can find and add to my collection. This is how loyal customers get treated? I'm paying for POKEMON CARDS. I'm not paying for disrespect. Won't be back anytime soon. Y'all don't deserve my business putting people like that behind the counter.

I wondered here after checking out Paige and Leaf Cafe which they are attached to. The store was crammed with interesting stuff to look at. They also have a small table in the middle of the store plus some chairs scattered around the store for seating to do some reading. I saw a sign on the door that they do events for the community and have book authors can by. They have a bargain and 20% section to save some money. It's big inside and I got lost looking at toys and reading excerpts of some books (including the Grimm Fairytales) and spent about an hour here. Overall, I appreciate the amount of variety of items they carry and I think that sets them apart from other bookstores.
