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!

That did not happe. customer service was horrible plain and simple. No offer to fix no offer to replace only Pay them to fix it or buy the parts and fix it myself. such a bummer it is a cool store.

Choo Choo!! This is the kind of place you can get lost in. Not because it's vast, but because it's…read morepacked from floor to ceiling with things you need if you're serous about model railroads. They can answer any question you have and will take the time to educate you on the things you didn't know about the world or model trains. I loved it! I thought I loved trains until I met these folks. New, used, rare, they've got it all. Get off the internet and go down there to buy what you need in person. It's worth the trip.

I stopped by Central Coast Trains yesterday just to look around and I really enjoyed it. The store…read morehas a nice selection of Kato N gauge track sets, which I did not see on their website. I will be back to pick up one or two once I figure out what I need. If you ask me, browsing at a store like this is much more enjoyable than buying online. The owner was very friendly and I am am happy to support one of the few remaining model train stores.

The staff over the years has been so friendly and helpful. The have ample staff to help you with whatever you need. They have lots of dolls, stuff animals, legos, books and I could go on. They also have educational toys/books.I always pick a couple of girl/boy tags off the Christmas tree. Then I ask what is popular for a child of that age. I'm best with younger kids but also pick an older one. They have a sale once a year prior to Christmas so get on their mailing list. I also love the fact that they gift wrap. All the kids know where the gift has come from over the years.

Stunningly beautiful store that is filled with so many amazing things. They have clothing, decor…read moreand little goodies for babies and kids that are top quality. Adorable and stylish you'll for sure find something for the little ones in your life. They also carry an amazing selection of clothing items for women. I wish I could say they carry plus size clothing but I don't see much of any when I come in. When I have seen things that looked larger they were more matronly looking. This is the only reason this isn't a 5 star review. They have some amazing home decor finds, as well as gift items and jewelry. They also have a great back room sale section (where the fitting rooms are). You can get some great pieces here for a good deal. You get what you pay for and here you are getting high quality, items that will last forever. I will for sure be back to shop!

If youre looking for something obscure they'll probably have it or have had it at some point. We purchased a Star Wars Lego set and several mini figures. Service was great.

As soon as we entered, my son had an awe moment. He was told he could build a car to race and he was super excited. A few people were in the room so he waited until they were done building their cars and racing on the track. We sat around talking to the staff and other parents who came into the Glow Room. We both used the restrooms and were happy to find they were clean and stocked. The store overall was clean and organized. We liked looking at the displays and the sets available. The three staff members we interacted with during our visit were super friendly. We liked that they offered party packages and we may have to plan a party on one of our visits to SLO. There are many Lego lovers in our family.
