Hopscotch Children's Store is my go-to whenever I have a kid's birthday party or baby shower to…read moreattend - I always know I can find something cute and fun there. My favorite gifts to give for baby showers are those indestructible books that you can wash with water! They seem to be pretty popular and Hopscotch usually has several different titles from that series. The last time I visited in September 2021, the inventory had expanded quite a bit since I was in the previous year. They have lots of toys, games, apparel, bath and body products, and accessories for younger kids (newborn to about 5 I would say). I didn't notice many options for big kids (12+). I did notice that there are a lot of items in the store that I've never seen before, but I also don't regularly shop at other children's stores. I like that they stock locally made and sustainable items. I also like that you can shop on their website and pick up at the store! They offer curbside pickup, which is great for those not wanting to or unable to go inside. If you're buying a gift, they will bag it up with a cute flower and tag which is so helpful, especially when I sometimes am purchasing a gift on my way to the baby shower, ha!

I absolutely love wandering in Vault of Midnight and coming in for little gifts for my friends!…read moreIt's a bit overwhelming to try and find something if you're not a big comic book or graphic novel enthusiast but even as someone who appreciates it, you can ask the staff at any point and they will be more than happy to provide recommendations or point you in the right direction. I've never gone wrong with purchasing a gift here and I definitely will come back. They even have a punch card for loyalty which is amazing. Parking is a little tough since it's right on Monroe Center and street parking but I haven't had a big issue. I'm a huge fan overall and encourage people to stop in if they haven't!

The price of their comics are really good they have a 1$ comic selection that is great and the rest of their comics are 4-7$ and they have plenty of graphic novels. I greatly recommend this place.

They have selections of trading card games, comics old and new, and toys and memorabilia for nerdy franchises going back decades. Stepping inside feels like searching for buried treasure at times, but when you find it, it's well worth the hunt--and you've probably found multiple interesting items along the way.

Captain Harassment and his Bizzaro world is not a place to visit…read more At the second we stepped in this business my family and I were treated like thieves. The owner let one of us use their restroom but then proceeded to hover over the door and harass them for taking to long. They also followed us out after and said very sarcastically "well at least you got to take a dump" then proceeded to lecture us saying that my family member didn't leave the fan on or spray fragrance. My family member has IBS and was very embarrassed. The owner then replied to a previous review that a friend of theirs got robbed a year back and he tried to say we were trying to do the same to him. We just wanted to see your store of overpriced crap and you basically made us leave because of your preconceived prejudice. Get a camera if you're so scared of someone stealing. Also grow up and understand you have a street store that is open to the public. It is not illegal for us to just look around old man.... Read through the reviews and you will see this isn't the first time he has treated his customers like this.

Love Schuler! I've been here in the past for a meeting, but never for the cafe. They have tons of…read moreinteresting things and all sorts of gift ideas. On a Thursday afternoon I was looking for a change of scenery and popped in to work from the cafe. The line was long and the pastry display was pretty depleted, but to me that means the food must be epic. It was busy when I arrived. I placed an order for a Baklava, the featured sandwich, and an iced coffee. The Baklava was amazing. The featured sandwich came with a bag of chips, and the iced coffee was good. Overall it was the perfect spot to pop into and work for a few hours.

No full arts in 10-15 packs can happen, but pretty suspicious when the packs are already looking and feeling weird. You could tell they tried to replace the hit cards with cheap half art EX's. The best piece of evidence was when another person bought some packs before me and came right back because some of the packs were already opened. Don't know about the comics but huge scam for cards.
