The next door bakery had closed earlier, so I decided to check out this indie bookstore and gallery instead. Ended up finding a lone copy on the shelf, Oregon Coast by Barbara Tricarico. Perfect souvenir keepsake. Nice collection of titles and gift items, pleasant counter person.

I've been coming to this bookstore for years…read more I love the ambiance and the selection of books has always been unusual and quite broad even though it's not a huge store. It seems like their selection of gift items has expanded over the years. It also seems very thoughtful, classy and includes many unique and fun things. Puzzles, art supplies, coloring books, journals, t-shirts, and jewelry were on display along with the books. They also carry cool postcards that are a step above the regular ones available everywhere else. I've scored some great deals here as well. They offer remainders and the last two times I've been here I've scored cool history works at great prices. Service is quiet and calm, but warm too. In other words, they let you browse as much as you want, but also seem accessible for help and/or questions. I love coming here when I'm in the area!

My Mom used to shop here, so when she passed away we wanted to donate her books. We called just to…read moreask if they take book donations and we were hung up on immediately which is enough of an answer. I double checked the website and it outlines what books they will accept?

I use the delivery service. Its normally a huge help since shopping has become nearly impossible…read moredue to illness. My spouse works during the day and has our one and only car. For about the last year we've started getting so much spoiled food. The produce has been really the worst. Its moldy upon arrival or within 24 hours. Yes they will refund you but then youre out of the item. Theres a minimum charge of $35 or pay a delivery fee aside from paying the monthly service fee to have delivery. I cant justify a second fee to replace a rotted 70 cent onion I needed today. Now if your chosen item is out of stock and your substitute is out of stock the shopper will pick. When that happens, the choice is nowhere near the item I picked and without fail, always more expensive. The approve or reject time window is down to a few minutes. Our order this last weekend was awful but I dont think its the shopper. I barely caught a totally different substitution. The screen refreshed once and 36 items were all "shopped" at the same moment. The temp hold amount has gone from $10-$20 above the total to now between $60 and $75 above the total. Its not a container deposit, thats a separate line item in the total and my substitution choices are the same price or less. I know the actual cost even if I were to get substitutions, so how do they justify that much plus holding it for a week? Ive even had Walmart charge me twice on the same order plus the temp hold. The worst one on an order that was less than $200. We were charged twice and Walmart took OVER $500 out of our account. And it wasnt a one time mistake. Its happened twice in less than a year. I am so tired of the BS from them. Ive contacted the corporate office, the BBB and left so many feedback forms. Nothing changes and I've never been contacted or even received an acknowledgement.

Went into the store today looking for some modeling materials, polystyrene sheeting and tubing. The…read morestore looked so small from the store front, but doing models I know what I need can fit into a small area from stores in my past. I walked through the doors and it was just a wonderful wonderland for any sort of modeling hobbyist. From RCs to modeling supplies. Trains, planes trains and automobiles. The store is surprisingly large inside by just being a deep, long store. I was very very surprised to find each section has an attendant, like stores from long ago. They knew exactly what I was asking for and where it was. I was only disappointed because I had to pry myself out of this amazing store before I went broke. I will definitely return for modeling supplies on the regular. They have a large selection of models and a surprisingly large selection of trains. I am not into RCs but they look well stocked from planes to cars. They have everything you need as far as modeling supplies, and lots of options. I cannot recommend this store enough. I can even see this store being a tourist stop, as it's just so well stocked and the employees are knowledgeable and very friendly.

Never been here despite growing up in Eugene, and my mom occasionally mentioning that she went to…read morehigh school with the owner. This shop has been in Eugene for almost 100 years and has been in the hands of a single family (though I think in 2024 the ownership will change). I wonder how many other businesses have remained in Eugene for that long--especially that have remained in a single family for so long (maybe Dot Dotson's?). On my recent visit home I dragged my mom here with the kiddo. The shelves were a bit bare, which was a little sad and I think probably a result of online shopping. But they had some games, modern board games, lots of train stuff, remote control toys, and so on. I bought a cute little stuffed bat for the little one because it was the one she showed interest in out of those I showed her, and it made her laugh when I moved it around and its wings flapped. Haha. I know that Eugene Elites did a volunteer event here which is so awesome. It's great that the shop partnered with them on it. Support local businesses!

Replay Toys is one of the best examples of a mom-and-pop store specializing in the nerd culture and…read morecollector scene. The store has a new great location and you will really feel welcome whenever you stop by. The owner is very personable and enjoys having discussion when the store is having a down-time or lull. For being a store targeting the nerd culture, the store is also kid-friendly and a treat for youngsters as long as they are halfway respectful. The prices are very reasonable/fair on most items and you won't feel your wallet hurting too bad (as may be the case at other retailers and events of this scene) and the inventory is consistently fresh. They also buy and do credit for items you bring in too! Highly recommend if you are in the Eugene, Oregon area and need to get your geek on! Definitely a delight for the nerd and collectible community of Oregon.

With the demise of the big-chain toy stores, finding a "regular" toy store can be a challenge…read more You'll find boutique toy stores, vintage toy stores, toy & hobby stores, etc But luckily Elephant's Trunk fills that need for just a straight up regular toy store. They have a good range of stuff, from baby toys on up to stuff for older kids. Coloring books, blocks, toy cars, fidget-spinners, little guitars, and everything in between. It's a big store and nicely designed, so it's fun to walk around and check things out. Of course it's very kid friendly. Given the 5th St. Market location, you probably won't find any bargains. That being said, the prices seem pretty reasonable. It's definitely worth checking out!

This toy store is truly one of my favorite in Oregon. It has a good selection of classic children's toys like Playmobil, Hot Wheels, and Brio. They also have a great selection of children's books and puppets to help foster a child's creative learning. As a side note they also have a few of these classic coin-op rocking animals including an elephant and an Oregon Duck-the mascot for the local university. The staff was great and very knowledgeable about activities appropriate for certain ages and developmental levels.
