The teacher is always friendly and patient as she explains the days activity with smiles. Lakeshore can be tricky for both parents and children as they have a plethora of learning toys, games, puzzles, books and teacher treasures. This is both bad and good because it is tempting to purchase everything in sight, however it makes for a fun time allowing children to explore all the items displayed for hands-on fun. They can be pricy but always have discounts available either at the craft center, through their text message alerts if you sign up, or often times discounts in house featured at the front of the store. We typically spend 2 hours playing here and reading books. They have only one restroom, but it is spacious and has always been clean. They do have some affordable treats near the register that are fun for treasure boxes and rewards. The back area is a TEACHER paradise with many fun supplies ass well as a laminating machine :D We always enjoy our visit and thank the staff for being friendly even when it gets crowded. L.

Shop local when and where you can! Of all the indie book stores, this one has the most selection. I…read moreeven found the book I was looking for! Nowhere focuses on local, cultural, LGBTQIA, and overall a very diverse selection of books. They also host big events like speakers. Nowhere is about the size of your average Half Price Books and as someone else said, it's like stepping into a grown-up Scholastic Book Fair. Socks, bookmarks, cards, they sell so many things. Towards the back they also have a coffee shop! I need to go back and order a cortado for my review series. You can tell this shop is well-loved. It was extremely crowded. Staff remained in excellent spirits providing top notch customer service. I fell in love with this shop immediately. I was already a fan based on word of mouth. But experience the shop for yourself - you must do it. I can't wait until my next visit.

Love a hybrid business. This independent book store and coffee shop has most things I could ask…read morefor: wifi, coffee (and non coffee drinks), snacks, and seating. Their displays of books are well curated, and they have some knickknacks and gifts for that eccentric person in your life. I do wish the cafe had some gluten free options (pastries looked and smelled so good. The whole area smelled like butter.). And would like an alt milk option that isn't nuts, soy, or oat based (like coconut milk!). Free parking in the back.

Barnes & Noble is always a great time!…read more Frankly I love coming here to discover new book titles or purchase their B&N limited edition books. Shopping books through Amazon or other online retailers can be very easy, but there is nothing like walking through a book store and seeing all the different titles in just one place. Compared to other locations, this Barnes & Noble is not as busy and I like that is just one story building. I also like that they have plenty of spots all over the bookstore where you can sit and they also have a pretty nice size Starbucks. There is also plenty of parking and accessing this plaza is super easy from 410 or 281. Overall, I love coming to this store! The staff is always super friendly and they have an amazing selection.

Probably my favorite location…read more The layout of this location just makes so much sense! Every genre section branches off of a 'main hallway' and you can see over all of the shorter bookshelves so the store is really open and easy to peruse through. They've had what I came in looking for each time I've been, it's been clean and organized every visit, and the café has a ton of Starbucks, Cheesecake Factory, and other more popular chain brand products to choose from if you need a pick me up during your shop as well. Give this bookstore a visit! It's absolutely worth your while!

Wonderful Daiso! I've had these in the last couple of cities I've lived in. It's a great place to…read morebuy inexpensive but nice small items; they have a wide selection of household goods, toiletries, toys, kitchen ware, stationary, crafts, stickers, gift wrapping items, Japanese snacks and drinks. They have some Disney and Sanrio brand items as well. So cute! Their prices are posted with the yen conversion, throughout the store but if not marked, everything is $1.75, but recently they had a price change to $2.25. The items are still definitely worth it and high quality. Their bigger household items are priced as marked. I noticed recently their holiday goods went on sale after the holiday as well. A lot of fun gift items or ideas for favor bags. Nice service and clean, well organized store.

As a first time customer, it was very overwhelming, but the pricing is very easy to follow with signs posted in all the aisles. I was pleasantly surprised at just how much variety the store has and I found some very useful items for my house, including some cute coasters and a set of chopsticks with a spoon. The staff are also incredibly helpful and will answer any questions you might have. I will definitely be going back to Daiso.

You can search their inventory online (and make purchases) through AbeBooks.com. Besides hardcovers and paperbacks, they also have a selection of CDs and audio books.

Besides everything being imported from Japan and the prices in Yen my review is not based on this…read more This review is based on the complete and under lack of customer service at the checkout counter. The young man that was at the register didn't acknowledge my existence after I greeted him, was watching something on his phone, never looked at me, in my direction during the entire transaction. He spoke to the young lady next to him when she was talking about someone else. As I was leaving she wished me a good day. I held back what I wanted to say, smiled and said thank you and left. I sit hear writing this review fuming. I'm actually going back into this store to give them a piece of my mind and see who the manager is. So if you want imported crap from Japan that take away American jobs and cost more due to tariffs and want crappy customer service or shall I say ZÈRO customer service, by all means spend your hand earned money here.

Daiso is so cute!…read more I've been to this location a few times since it's opened and always leave with a handful of goodies. Plushies, office supplies, home goods, Asian snacks, you name it, it's probably there. It's always well stocked with a few associates walking around to help you if you need anything, and there are yen to USD conversion charts posted through the store to help you price check things. I'd highly recommend stopping in for cheap but interesting gift stuffers and snacks! If nothing else, it's fun to peruse through everything that's there and pick up one of their cute $2 reusable shopping bags.

They were very knowledgeable about the stationery and even showed me their own pens/notebooks. The pens were on the pricier side BUT the price is well worth it.

I got my favorite pair of earrings here from a local vendor (mom and daughter) and I get compliments all the time. I also got a present for my friend here and she loved it.

I asked if they carried 2 different items and they answer without even looking up from what they were doing. I asked if they can order it and one answered she can try to order it individually and put out a pen and paper for me to write my info down and quickly walked back to her computer not once making any form of eye contact. I always try to support small local businesses but I will gladly take my business elsewhere.

Super charming shop with many items to choose from...great gift shop. They have a plethora of greeting cards, candy, travel mugs, stuffed animals, glasses, etc. to name just a few. It is quite enjoyable to peruse the items they are featuring at the time. One of my main attractions are their sales racks - 90% off, 75% off and 50% off. I scored some 75% off gift bags with hearts on them and the word Love which I can use all year long. The store staff always greet you when you come in and point you to where you need to go. Sometimes, they even walk you to the area. Overall, great shopping trip! Look forward to returning in the future...
