I'm new to the hobby and was genuinely excited to visit the store for the first time. I needed a…read morefew parts for my brush‑to‑brushless conversion, and I was also open to purchasing an R/C model I knew they had in stock. Unfortunately, the experience went downhill the moment I walked in. One employee immediately gave me a harsh look and stared at me from across the room. I didn't even realize he worked there at first, so I tried to move out of his line of sight. Another employee eventually approached me, and I explained that it was my first visit and I wanted to look around before asking questions. He was friendly and helpful -- I honestly wish he had been the one assisting me the whole time. Instead, the first employee eventually came over and asked if I needed anything, but his tone and body language made me feel unwelcome, as if he wanted me to leave rather than browse. It took the excitement out of what should have been a fun first visit. Bottom line: the store itself was great, but the attitude from that particular employee made the experience uncomfortable and disappointing.

It seems like most items in this shop are less than 50 years old, and affordably priced. Lots of 80s and 90s toys and memorabilia. Even if you're not in the mood to shop, I recommend stopping in just to see all the neat things they have.

My very first visit to a Hobby Lobby ever happened last month when my mom and I decided to drive…read moreout simply because I wanted to check it out. My mom seems to shop here somewhat often but now that I know, I'll be honest: I don't love the overt Christian branding and that alone will never make this store my first choice. That said, I can't deny the variety they offer. No matter what craft you're into whether it be sewing, quilting, painting, home decor, seasonal projects, etc. Hobby Lobby seems to have just about everything imaginable under one roof even if it may be extremely challenging to find/the layout of the store wasn't great... While I'd prefer to shop elsewhere when possible, I can see myself returning if I'm in a pinch or need something specific. I can admit it's a convenient option. Three stars for selection and convenience with some hesitation on the overall vibes and prices.

Hobby Lobby: Come for one frame, leave with fall exploding in your trunk. THAT should be their…read moredadgum slogan! Let me be clear: I'm not what you'd call a crafter. In my head, sure--I'm out here crocheting whimsical potholders and making my own scented candles like some kind of Pinterest sorceress. In reality? I want to wake up with the skillset of a seasoned maker without ever enduring the YouTube tutorial struggle. I don't want to learn to crochet--I just want to already know, you feel me? But none of that stops me from wandering the aisles of Hobby Lobby like I belong there. Because baby, I do. I may not be gluing rhinestones to wreaths, but when it comes to home decor? This is my Super Bowl. No matter the style, no matter the season--modern farmhouse, vintage cottagecore, "my house looks like an antique shop and I love it" chic--Hobby Lobby always delivers. Fall? They've got pumpkins in every size and personality. Christmas? Don't even get me started unless you want to hear me wax poetic about artificial garland and buffalo plaid. Need a random decorative sign that says "Gather" in cursive? Oh honey, they have seven. And I will consider them all. (Who am I kidding: I already own all seven!) Walking into Hobby Lobby is like entering a magical vortex where time doesn't exist and your cart fills itself. I always leave with twice as many items and zero regrets. And while I may not craft, I absolutely curate vibes--and Hobby Lobby is my go-to for all things "seasonal personality disorder but make it stylish." Five stars. Ten stars. A whole galaxy of stars. And a cart full of throw pillows.

This is a great place to go if you like sports, collect trading cards, or need any great gifts…read more They really have everything from sports cards to trading card games on one side of the store, and then sports merchandise like jerseys and clothing on the other side. I went in to browse around and see if anything sounded good before the start of the football season. That was a mistake for my wallet because everything looked like I needed it. They do a great job of keeping everything organized here. Sabres and Bills stuff in different sections, sports cards and trading cards broken down into different spots on the other side. They also have so much room for the events that they hold here. Along with the amount of product they have, they also have some cool pop culture collectibles on display which makes the whole place have a fun feel. Service here is good. Sometimes the value is a little high. Some markups on trading cards could be a little lower but oh well, that's the sign of the times I guess. Overall, if you need a gift or just looking for yourself, D&A's is the place to go!

I've only…read morerecently discovered this place located next to Dominos pizza (which is convenient to say the least if you know folks like me) where local gamers can come, meet friends and compeat in casual and comparative gameplay in a supportive and friendly community enviroment. It may not be a huge location but they host Magic the Gathering and other tabletop options comfortably, professionally and efficiently. They have a nice (and growing) selection of collectables , warhammer minitures , MTG singles accessories and packs and can , from what I've been told pull inventory from their other location. Stop on by, if you're a gamer looking to play this is a great place in Batavia to be yourself and make new friends.

I had a great time looking around at all of the neat stuff! I wasn't in need of anything so I was just window shopping. My favorite find were cans of spaghettios and ravioli that looked totally real, but we're actually safes you could store valuables in. Very clever. Here are some items you can expect to find here: Clothing: novelty tshirts of local restaurants that are no longer around, such as the ground round, Bills gear, Buffalo-themed shirts Costumes and accessories to buy (kids and adults) and rent. Toys / games Glass smoking accessories Gnomes Greeting cards Cards for play/magic Prank toys (candy that actually tastes horrible, fake vomit, fake dirty adult diapers, and a million other things) Novelty drink ware Unique gift ideas It's the kind of store you find one-of-a-kind items you don't see everywhere you go.

A cast mate recommended it when I asked if she knew a good place to find stage makeup. They have a small but solid assortment of both grease and water based paint. Prices were good, comparable or better than what I've seen online plus they helped me choose between grease and water based paint. I was in and out in under five minutes. I'll definitely be back the next time I need stage makeup when street make up is inadequate for my needs. They also have an assortment of costumes, magic items and various other things, but I didn't have a chance to check it all out. Cool place.
