Inside, curated sections of adult horror old and new, novelty books, and my favorite: ghost books (etc.) for kids! We walked out with one of my favorites, Gustavo the Shy Ghost, but I could have purchased the entire store. It's small but the employee was super nice and I'm sure everyone loves working there. The Gustavo book, hardcover and gorgeous, cost an expected 20 dollars. I'd be happy to spend all my money there, really, please stay open. This shop really adds to the already high charm of Mystic.

I asked the only person there if there were more shirts, as I was buying souvenirs, she continued to stare and I had to repeat myself. I should have left at that point but I wanted to bring back a souvenir. I FaceTimed my girlfriend to ask her if she liked any of the shirts. After I hung up, I got one and put it on the register to checkout. I asked the person if there was a card minimum for purchases. (In case I wanted to make another purchase). She said no and continued to stare at me. After an awkward silence and a prolonged ogle - she continued the check out process. I was told where to sign and she stepped away from the counter never thanking me or ending the interaction. I asked her if she was the owner and she responded with yes. I asked for her name and she said it was, Dale. I left the store visibly shaking my head on the way out. This was the most uncomfortable customer service interaction I've ever experienced. TL; DR. Don't support a place that treats it's customers in such a way that would leave you physically uncomfortable. Visit one of the other pleasant stores in the area!

Well if you or anyone you know happen to enjoy any these things, this is the store to visit. Definitely one of the coolest toy store around. Actually toy store isn't even close to being actuate. The World Store is more of a nature, science store for playful geeks of all ages. Lots of dinosaurs stuff about Parasaurolophus, Triceratops and of course Tyrannosaurus and their friends. Models, stickers, books and puzzles of the extinct critters. Also plenty of cool books and games about more contemporary creatures. Very creative and fun stuff including great bird houses, toys and foolish t-shirts and hats. Lots of scented candles and pleasantly little stinky things so the store always smells nice. The World store also has neat maps and books about geology, meteorology, archaeology and great plastic globes that act like beach balls but with the names and locations of the world's countries on it. So your little geek can learn where Turkmenistan is while he or she is playing on the beach. An absolutely great, fun and educational place for everyone. The inventory always seems to be changing with new and sometimes bizarre items. I've found it's extremely easy to spend a lot of time and money in the store but I've never regretted it.

I do wished there were some more Ninigret/troll/Rhode Island-themed souvenirs, trinkets, or postcards at the shops. That said, I did purchase beaded earrings for $20, some glass mini figurines at $6/each, and a hair clip for $14. I felt that all the prices were comparable to what I'd find at pop-up markets in RI.

I don't like being accused of stealing, so I put my items back and I walked out real quick. I am highly unsatisfied with the way I was treated.

I was long overdue for a treat, so I paid Amber a visit this past weekend & my heart grew three sizes that day. I heart Amber, her energy, her taste, her philosophies, her creativity, & her genuine, infectious laugh. Every bit of Nico Scout reflects Amber & every bit of Amber is reflected in Nico Scout. What a selection of products! When I don't know what to get someone as a gift, I go to Nico Scout. Amber has done the hard work of thinking & collecting & curating, so that I can just show up & get inspired. I always find something for someone, & it's usually something I never knew existed. Last year I found an incredible book in the store about Black American musicians & the conception of jazz. I didn't know this book existed & didn't know I needed it until I saw it. It came home with me, of course, & was a perfect gift for a good friend of mine. Books, clothes, knick knacks, art, pottery, plants, homewares, etc. There is so much goodness here, running the entire gamut of price. There's something for every person & every budget here. I am so glad this little paradise exists & I can't wait to see what Amber has in store for 2025 - I hear that workshops might be on the horizon? Sign me up, please.

I don't dislike e-readers, but there's no comparison between browsing in a real bookstore and browsing online. This store has an amazing selection of books and you can tell that what they choose to sell is carefully done. You're not going to find the trashy beach novels that you can get in the book rack at CVS. This is a store where they carry books that appeal to people who love books. They also have art supplies, which came in handy when I needed some stuff to do a little painting out there. I wish I had a store like this on the mainland in my town. Hopefully they'll be around for many years.
