I always try to support local businesses, especially children's stores, but unfortunately my experiences here have consistently felt unwelcoming. My most recent visit was while shopping for my daughter's upcoming 3rd birthday. When I walked in, neither of the two employees in the store acknowledged me. After a while, I received a very cold greeting from one of them. During checkout, I commented that it was nice to see they carried adult clothing as well, and the owner responded with, "We always have," in a tone that came across as harsh and dismissive. On its own, this interaction might not have been a big deal, but it reflects a pattern I've experienced over the years. I've repeatedly found the atmosphere to be unfriendly, particularly in my interactions with the owner. As a parent who regularly shops for children's clothing and enjoys supporting local businesses, customer service matters. I want to spend my money where customers feel welcomed and appreciated. Because of the consistent lack of warmth and customer care I've experienced, I've decided to take my business elsewhere. That's disappointing, because I genuinely prefer supporting neighborhood businesses whenever possible.

I use to shop this store frequently for my first before covid, prob once a week. I traded in a lot…read moreof my daughter's clothes and found a lots of HA, mini boden, etc. I recently went back as I've had two more children (boys) to try to find some good picks. It's a completely different store with a different vibe. For starters the prices are high, $119 plus tax for a used Woolino sleep sack, you can get one new from the company or amazon for a few more dollars. Another thing is that they no longer sort clothing by gender. This is incredibly annoying when shopping for boys clothing as there is prob 75% girls to boys clothing in consignments stores. I'm guessing this is due to people over buying for girls and girls not making their clothes as messy, this was the case with my children. This comment isn't designed to attack people who want to dress their children GN, it's more an annoyance that it takes significantly longer to sort though the clothes which is tough when you have 2 kids in tow. Perhaps brand back the gendered cloning and have a third GN section.

We had a great experience at The Original Childrens Shop getting our little guy's hair cut! At…read morethree-years old, this was the first proper hair cut he had had. My wife had trimmed it herself before, but after growing his hair out quite a bit it because too long and too much for her to try and "tame." After an extensive search, we landed here. Boy were we glad! Rachel was our stylist and she did a marvelous job, all around. We were nervous at how our son would do this first time. He can be shy, he can get spooked at something new like this, and we were ready. No need to worry. Rachel made sure he was comfortable and knew what was happening the whole time. They had a cute little red car chair that he could sit on (although he opted for sitting on my lap the whole time - which was fine, Rachel didn't mind). She was fast, accurate, and knew what she was doing. Have 20+ years of children's hair experience, she knew how to keep our guy entertained ... feeling safe ... and timed perfectly for not taking too long as to bringing on a bored toddler. The cut itself was great too. Stylish and modern, she did a great job at trimming/cutting his hair and layering it so as to bring out the natural waves and curls. Our son liked her, like the experience, and by the end was ready to sit in and try out the red car chair! Ha! Looking for a children salon? Look no further then The Original Childrens Shop. While you're there, be sure to check out the clothes, books, and toys they have there too. And while you're in the neighborhood, check out the other nice locally owned shops on the same street!

I ended up buying a lovely toddler jumper for a friend of mine back in Texas and I liked the cleanliness of the store with its easy layout.

Beyond that, their customer service is superb and sincerely appreciated.

I shop. For baby clothes. Seems premature, I know.. I don't even know what the little bugger is yet (I will tomorrow!), but go ahead and stop me from buying whatever cute things I find.. Just try. I walked into Bootyland the other afternoon, not knowing anything about it. What an awesome little shop! Tons and tons of great new and gently used, kids and grown people clothes. Lots of local designers, along with some not so local brands. I was thrilled when I saw that they have loads of OshKoshB'Gosh overalls (the real vintage ones!) in stock! They've also got some awesome looking vintage clothes (I'm talkin' 60s florals and prints, people) if you really wanna make your kid look dated, er.. I mean cool. Along with tons of really fun kids clothes- 'Babylegs' and Matthew Porter's 'Red Panda' line of baby tees and onesies, they also sell children's shoes and women's Yoga apparel. Really nice people working.. relaxed atmosphere. I cannot wait to come back once I know if I should be buying everything in pink or blue!

I don't think it's fair to give one star for one bad employee, so I'm updating to three stars (for now). The whole experience left a bad taste in my mouth, but I appreciate the owner taking the time to write and explain the situation. I'll definitely give City Mouse another go in the near future, especially since the holiday season's coming up. ORIGINAL REVIEW: Cute shop, deplorable customer service. My parents aren't native English speakers, so they have an accent, but no one has any problem understanding them. The young, blonde employee treated both my parents like they were basically idiots. My mom needed help, so she called out, "Excuse me" several times, and not once did the employee pop her head up to offer help. When my parents went up to pay, she acted like she couldn't understand them and basically treated them like trash. I'm always down to support local shops, so I've spent a pretty penny at City Mouse over the past few years. I can confidently state that I won't ever shop there ever again. There are plenty of other children's boutiques within/around West Seattle that I can support instead.

The prices are high, but that is to be expected from a boutique store. The service and experience merit the price. There is also a small consignment area to the left of the register with very nice, reasonably priced- items that look brand new. We got some Tea clothes gifted to us from City Mouse and the quality is excellent and they clothes are so darn cute!
