Calico Toy Shoppe is a prominent toy store on Winslow Way, the cute walkable main street of…read moreBainbridge Island's downtown. We managed to hurry past it on the way to lunch, but I knew there was no way we were getting back to the ferry without going inside. Not with a two-year-old, a five-year-old, and my mother in our crew. To our kids' credit, I wanted to get them a souvenir, or at least allow their grandma to buy them something small with my supervision (she can't be trusted on her own). The store was colorful and appealing, and I couldn't deny my boys the pleasure of a quick, moderate visit. Calico was well stocked with toys and games, and my two-year-old immediately went for a giant cement mixer set that would board the ferry out over my dead body. I told the kids and my mom that they could buy one toy each, and that it would have to be something we could easily take home. There was a large selection of stuffies at the front of the shop, and I strongly encouraged them to find something in that area. Our older son obligingly picked an adorable baby turtle, but his brother refused every little stuffie I offered. Instead, he found a cheap disposable pinwheel that cost $3.99. He's been obsessed with fans for about half of his life and apparently, the pinwheel counted. My brother and sister-in-law got a couple baby toys for their babies and we went on our way, all the kids happy with their loot. We've been home for over a week and the baby turtle, now named Baby Turtle, has a place of honor in our five-year-old's bed. The pinwheel pops up in random spots in our house, sometimes waved with aggression in front of our faces. I liked Calico Toy Shoppe and would definitely shop there if I lived on Bainbridge Island. I'd recommend stopping in if you're visiting with kids. It's a great place to pick up a little souvenir.

I did a lot of Christmas shopping here because I like that their toys are educational, quality, and unique.

This is very poor customer service especially if the merchant isn't checking quality of product before selling.

They stuck around even after FAO Schwarz left downtown. I think it became hard running a toy store in Downtown Seattle. High office vacancy, low foot traffic, Seattleites not having kids. This store may have been running off fumes after covid too. People who work in the area probably felt the same way when Elliott Bay Book Company moved out of Pioneer Square in 2010. I used to come here on my break. Then I changed jobs and it was harder to visit. It's sad to know this store closed and I wish all the employees the best.

I happened to be having a lunch at the Mexican restaurant next door and chose to walk into this business after I finished my lunch just because they were there. I've eaten at the restaurant next door many times and I've never thought about going into this toy store in the past. They have a lot of fun things in the store. Probably something for everyone in basic kinds of games. I settled on a puzzles as well as a Trivia game. They had a really good special going on where you could buy a puzzle and get 1 for 50% off. However, I didn't take advantage of that because I just wanted the one puzzle. The store had quite a few shoppers in, and was a bit congested. Good for the business, and expected this time of year. But, I actually was in-and-out of the store so fast that I did not spend enough time to assess all of their offerings in order to have made a really good judgment. I'm very happy they were there to support my last minute Christmas game shopping need for my family and friends.

When my 3 year old and I entered the store, we were asked what we were looking for. I said we were…read moreChristmas shopping. There was a small table with a stool next to a tower of cars. My son immediately was drawn to the cars and put a few on the table to look at them. I was looking around the store at things I could buy my son and also for anything that might delight my husband. The woman working, went over and started snatching the cars from the table my child was at. He had placed six cars on the table top. I came back over and told my son to help put the cars back and that he could only look at one at a time. I sat in the adult chair at the table and asked him which car he liked the best. (I was going to buy him one along with a Playmobil Pirates set.) The woman came back and asked if we were ready to leave. She had a horrible attitude and said that children are not welcome AT ALL TOY STORE. I cannot imagine a worse attitude for retail, let alone being a toy store so unwelcoming and rude to children. We left immediately without purchasing what we had planned to buy and as I was buckling my son into his car seat, the woman (she was older with a bad blonde dye job) had the audacity to stand at the door of the shop scowling. Never again.
