I was looking for a certain plant. After wandering around , I found it without a price tag. I went…read moreback to the register and asked the price. They didn't know and couldn't find the price anywhere. So that was a lost sale. Then I bought something with $5 as their sign requested but they didn't have any $1s for change. There were all these flies inside the store and it smelled like overripe fruit. I won't be back.

Beanstalk Toy Shop is everything you want in a local business…read more They don't sell cheap, typical imported plastic toys here. This also isn't one of those boring educational toy stores that sells things kids don't want to play with. This place is something special. You can tell that everything here is lovingly hand selected- from wooden toys made in the USA to educational toys imported from Europe. Many toys are on offer to play with, and children can often be found doing just that- a good sign in a shop like this. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and exceedingly willing to help you make a great selection. They really understand their products well and also have an uncanny knack to service special or odd requests. Every time we've visited, we've purchased a toy that was adored by it's recipient. If there is a special little someone in your life, you ought to get them something from Beanstalk Toy Shop. They will love it!

Finally got a chance to check out this great little toy store in Melrose. I was very impressed…read morewith the selection they had. The Playmobil section takes up an entire wall and they have toys of a slightly higher quality then some of the big box stores. They have a large selection of Melissa & Doug products as well as other toys for babies and toddlers. The main reason I was there was to check out the Lego bricks and sets. There were plenty to choose from be it the Duplo sets for kids under 4 to the larger Star Wars and Lego City sets. The very nice woman behind the register also said they can special order Lego sets if I had any specific ones in mind. You will find the prices are slightly higher then larger retailers or online shops, but if you're down for supporting local business then this is a great one to support. The store is extremely clean and very modern looking. I never had a local toy shop growing up but I'm glad I am able to bring my children to this one. If you're looking for quality toys and crafts, look no further than Beanstalk Toy Shop.

Amazing game store that caters to a variety of hobbies. Just a few notes from someone who has been…read moregoing to all of the locations (since they opened or if they have been more recent) for about 10 years: - They never open and reseal product. I have never seen this one time in my entire time in the stores. Whoever said that in another review is lying. - Prices are compared against the market and 99% of the time, the store will give the customer the best price they can. - They have the most generous trade-in sale percentages of any store around. Having spent time with the owner and founder, most of the employees, and a good amount of the customers, I can say that this store is hands down the best games/hobby venue around. Truly care about providing people and families with a place to compete and have fun.
