My husband and I stopped in Joe's Emporium after having lunch at a local restaurant. We were…read morepleasantly surprised how the store made us feel like kids again! They have every toy that you can imagine records, books so much nostalgia. We have seven small grandchildren and we were excited to find toys that the kids would love to play with, G.I. Joe, Barbie, Old time wrestling dolls, Old hot wheels and other trucks etc. Prices are very reasonable loved being able to find some new toys to keep at our house for when the grandkids come over plus a few treasures for me and my husband. Highly recommend this store Google it and see all the fantastic finds!

Dude will list everything for too high then change his mind at the register and want even more…read more Total scammer. Will try to get you to pay too much for dirty old toys. Clearly looks at "listed" prices and not what things actually sell for on eBay. Sad to see dust covered items everywhere instead of things in loving homes. Horrible business. Edit: super weird of the store owner to break the law (yes changing the price AT THE REGISTER after agreeing to a price is AGAINST THE LAW) then reply snotty to this review instead of being grateful he wasn't reported. Shows exactly what kind of scummy business this is. Avoid at all costs. And saying it's priced for that area is HILARIOUS since everything in there is covered in dust- ya know not selling. Aka not priced to sell for ANY area

The hours are limited which is the only drawback for me personally but I'm happy that I was finally able to make it in, with just 20min to spare before closing on a weekday. I found a couple framed pictures that I thought were unique, with pretty ornate frames in a gold style that I'd been wanting. There were also just cool pics that caught my eye. I wish I had more time to go more frequently to see what's new. The prices were good with the most pricey items being locally made candles but I still bought one to gift as a hostess gift over the holidays and recommend purchasing because they're in Mason jars, have fun names for the scents (something along the lines of Pumpkin Spice Slut, lol) and smell amazing!

My husband is an avid collector of Transformers. And Toy Town has a small selection of it…read more Transformer Blokees are my husband's new addiction so we stopped in to see if any were available. We have gone through a few of the Blokees series so it was cool to see that they have the newest series available. This is my first time in and I was overwhelmed by all the fun things to look at. My toys of choice is Hello Kitty, anything cute and plushies. I did see an option of Hello Kitty figures but I already have them. I was mesmerized by the cute boba and cotton candy plush. My favorite section of the store was towards the front where the smaller toys and gadgets were at. I love playing with little things and there's quite a few options available. My husband ended up getting a few Blokees blind boxes. I got a squishy boba toy. It was just Valentine's day so I didn't have the heart to ask my husband for the 50 dollar plush. I will have to grab it the next time we are in if it's still there. I would say this could have been a flawless experience but the customer service wasn't there. What confuses me is when people work at fun stores like a toy shop like this, a bakery or candy shop and their customer service is meh. With such a fun venue, good think that someone who is checking you out is happy and smiling. Or maybe I'm just expecting too much out of someone. This toy store is dope. Lots of fun things to see, touch and buy. There's a great variety of options so you're guaranteed to find something for that special someone. It makes my husband happy so that's a great bonus point. Maybe the next time we come in, there might some Hello Kitty options and the customer service will be friendlier.

Opened October 2019 this little local convenience market featuring local producers is getting…read morebetter all the time, including more selection in freezer case of local rancher / farmer animal proteins from top quality, pasture raised and sustainable husbandry producers like Malheur River and McIntyre Family. Although this is 30 minutes from our front door, it is our go to when we're looking for pastured pork or poultry products. (We don't eat beef but they have that too.) If they had a good selection of local lamb cuts it would be golden for us - our favorite protein - but it is a harder sell for them so they carry less. (Americans consume on average only 1 pound of lamb / person / year. And about 97 pounds of chicken per person annually. Both are shocking numbers.) We purchased bone-in pork shoulder from Malheur which I boned and cut up for Asado de Bodas (aka Mexican wedding stew, I think, sort of mole meets asado de puerco) cutting off the beautiful fresh fat cap to render down for sauteing the veg, and using the bone to make a pork broth to freeze for pozole sometime in the future. And if you like to cook Italian food, Malheur made jowl bacon (otherwise known in Italy as guanciale) this winter which was sold here and is THE perfect thing for carbonara and Amatriciana sauces. My Brooklyn born hubby is Italian heritage and grew up with an Italian speaking nonna in the kitchen so we have used a lot of guanciale - not in Boise though where it is hard to find - and this is the best we have ever used. Still not carrying much fresh market produce but they have added Acme Bread to the line up and on Saturdays I think Acme rotates in a special kind of loaf. From time to time they have had "meet the maker" tastings on Saturdays for some of the vendors they carry. And here's a tip you'll thank me for - if they have local Morning Star Acres jam on the shelf, buy it. Especially the huckleberry! SERVICE: The owner is on site almost all the time, very friendly, very responsive to FB messaging if you have questions about something in stock and always able to help by phone too before making a trip if you're looking for something specific. SET UP: Small but with a good expanse of windows it is light and bright and well organized with refrigerator / freezer case along one wall, larder / pantry shelving next to that with food products for sale and other items - like local artists and crafters goods for sale- also placed around the store. ACCESSIBILITY: ADA parking correctly designed for van access striping on the passenger side adjacent to building. Small ramp up to sidewalk. All on one floor. Ample floor clearance. The loo fails ADA and Idaho code compliance with counters and towel dispenser too high. The eat in counter has only high stool level seating so inaccessible. The ADA is 30 years old in July and it is past time to get this right everywhere for equal access. (Yep. I have a dog in this hunt since I have had MS since college.) LOCATION: In the Bench neighborhood right across from Idaho Youth Ranch thrift shop and just next door to a Vincent St. Paul sales store. PARKING: Private lot has about 15 parking spaces.

The inside is clean and well organized with a lot of options for vendor spaces. If you like antiques or handmade things, there are vast amount of vendors for your viewing pleasure. Booths are well organized! Prices: since this is a place filled with individual vendors, it really varies by booth. There are plenty of people with incredibly reasonable prices, especially on jewelry! There's lots of wall decor, little knickknacks, old pictures, rugs, soap, quilt, old cast-iron! Overall, this is a wonderful place to check out, you can support a lot of local vendors and artists at the same time. It's excellent that they have cycled the building into something where a lot of people can get their collections out there for purchase.
