Huge shoutout to Hobby Headquarters in Atascadero! I was hunting for Pinewood Derby weights and the…read moreteam was incredibly helpful over the phone. They gave me a real-time inventory check and saved me from a redundant trip over the Cuesta Grade--which, as any local knows, is a massive win! It is rare to find a shop that still offers this kind of genuine, personalized service. Instead of a vague 'we might have it,' they actually verified their stock so I knew exactly what to expect. Whether you're aiming for the winner's circle in the Derby or just looking for your next project, these folks are the gold standard. They've earned a loyal customer here--make them your first stop for all things hobby!

Beware - this place is a tourist trap! I placed an order through their website and visited the…read morestore on 4/4, only to find out it was a complete scam. The owner actually laughed while telling us he had just warned another customer that the website isn't accurate and that he cancels all online orders. He still has the site up, fully functional, which is incredibly misleading. There are no graded Pokémon cards available--just loose singles. Shelves were filled with opened tins and TCG Live code cards, making it seem like the inventory is being tampered with behind the scenes. It's not hard to password-protect a website if you don't want people placing orders, yet the site remains live, clearly just to lure in unsuspecting customers. We called the store afterward to ask about our refund and were completely ignored--no one answered. Instead of focusing on Google reviews, maybe the owner should focus on updating his inventory and answering the phone. After three days with no communication and no refund confirmation (only a single email stating the order was canceled), I had to call my bank to reverse the charge myself. Total waste of time and very frustrating. If I could give zero stars, I would. Highly unprofessional experience

Most of them are incorrectly stored with absolutely no sleeves and with atrocious warps and scratches. Though, they do have old shellac records, which I thought was pretty neat!

Kind of reminds me of the ole Woolworths, but not as diverse…read more More crafts & household odds and ends, than Hobby stuff, but it still useful for some items, like doormats. For some odd reason, they typically have many types of doormats and various other "thing-a-ma-gigs", like analog wall clocks. It is best to go when they have a 50% off sale, and then you can save. They do serve a diverse crowd, and one can see Cal Poly students of all types, including international students. The younger crowd goes mostly for dorm furnishings, while the older locals go for fabric, plastic flowers, and crafts. The service here is really nice at checkouts, but you can feel kind of neglected in store...but not as forgotten as in many Big Box or discount stores. As far as where one wants to shop, it is not like Amazon has moral superiority, over here. At the very least, HL does let you touch the items that one contemplate getting. This is more important when one wants to hang a clock in ones living area for example. Many clocks and other items have deceptively rendered near-fake pictures on Amazon for many items, not to mention fake reviews. It is kind of fun to stop in here for targeted missions that could also include World Market, Nordstroms, and off course Sprouts. If one is on a discount mission, then the nearby Ross's, Five Below, and a short drive to the nearby TJX, Home Goods, Dollar Tree, & Grocery Outlet can take up a whole weekend of time.

Not being familiar we asked the sells associate being the counter what was Dragon Ball Z as not everything had packaging that identified it. The sales lady showed up a picture and said anything with this hairstyle. We picked something up and asked if this was it as it looked similar and she stated no, it was something else. Instead of coming out from behind the counter to try and help us, she continued to just stand behind the counter. Had she made the effort to assist us, we would have purchased more items other than the one thing that actually had the name on it.

Got past my ability and went to the shop to return the speakers but you are unable to get a refund so I figured I'd let them have a crack at fixing the audio because I didn't want to be out the money. Booked an appointment for 8 am drop. Both the owner and the son were there and refused to acknowledge me because it was before 9am. I literally wanted to talk to them about possibly replacing the deck and spending more money in the shop as well as installing a subwoofer. After I was ignored by the owner and dismissed by his son, I decided to go with my gut. I took back the $300 worth of speakers and will now be taking my money to a professional shop.
