The owner will order anything that you need if they don't have it in the shop, and I appreciate the range of price points - there are fancy gift sets and cheaper items if you are just looking for something small. Excited to go back for my holiday shopping soon.

We came looking for items to use for a holiday craft activity for our kids and we were overwhelmed by the variety of items on display. We had priced most of what we'd purchased on Amazon, and the prices really were comparable. There is nothing like seeing the items in person to gauge whether or not they are really what you need (several things we had ordered on Amazon actually ended up not being usable upon receipt). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable and we left with bags full of everything we came for. Thanks again!

I was trying to find a new Sodastream cartridge for my fiancee's VERY ancient Sodastream, and the owner generously encouraged me to bring in to the store. Not only did she help me determine what model cartridge I needed and ordered one, she personally gave me an older cartridge to use in its stead until the new one arrived--truly above and very beyond. In addition to exemplary and personal attention, they have some interesting, diverse, quality products. Most of their products--particularly for the home--are high quality and very eco-friendly. In addition to housewares and such, they have great gift items for adults as well as for kids, cool, unique greeting cards, and some unique surprises, such as a surprisingly good candy/truffle assortment and a random box of vinyl. Fun and friendly shop to stop in, and very grateful it is in our neighborhood!

My awesome little friend Max loved his evil blob containment device, and he still hasn't made it to the store yet. Brought a friend who was visiting from Los Angeles here the other Day and he was such a sport he tested out the cape on top of the cape tester machine. Given that he's a creative and works with tons of kids I figured the experience would be priceless. End result: it was. He ate it up. Can't wait to hear how much he loves the Time Travel Mart - in Los Angeles, and the Pirate Supply Store in San Francisco. Dave you're an incredible guy!

Just take a peek into the tutoring room in the back with all of the happy kids and volunteers. If your date doesn't think you're cool because you know about this place - dump them immediately). Pick up Scale: N/A (Bring your own friends the people here are fun to talk to but not a place for mingling). Strong Suggestion: Take the train, walk a few blocks, enjoy the restaurants nearby. GREAT afternoon activity, lots of fun things to see and do nearby.
