Accidentally left my reusable water bottle in the shop on Sunday and tried to call a half hour after leaving to ask them to hold onto it for me to pick up later since I had other plans where I couldn't go back immediately. The call went to voicemail and they never called back. I went back at 4:50 PM (their posted closing time is 5 PM) and they were closed already. I tried to call again and no one answered. They didn't open again until Tuesday. I came by to ask about it and they said it had been thrown away by one of their employees because it had spilled and no one came back to claim it. Who throws away a reusable water bottle? Obviously it's someone's property and any reasonable person would think to hold it for at least a business day or two. I had called the store several times to ask about it and all of them went unanswered. I even tried to call back right after receiving their text that it had been thrown out and that didn't even go through. I had said it was frustrating that my property had been thoughtlessly thrown away and the store owner retorted that it was frustrating that someone else knocked it over onto their cards, as if it was my fault. Not to mention that their binder cards are grossly overpriced. Don't shop here read more

PokeStops is honestly a really solid shop. They have a ton of Pokémon, One Piece, MTG and other collectible stuff, and every time I go in there's always a lot to look through. Store is clean, people are cool, and parking is super easy which is rare around here. Definitely recommend checking it out. read more

Rude front desk staff. We had a few questions and he didn't even bother clearing some concerns out that we had, like you work there for a reason be kind, professional and respectful. Also this is my opinion . read more

For all parents not sure how to find out the cost of the cards go to https://www.tcgplayer.com All the single cards are over double the price. $3 dragonite vstar for $15 and a $20 lapras for $45. Sure I made the decision to not buy because I know how to check the prices but I feel horrible for the people getting into the hobby and without knowing paying these insane prices. All ETB at least 20$ overpriced too. And the vibe the workers give just makes you not even want to try and negotiate. Been to almost every store in the valley and this is the only one I will for sure not be returning to. I hope some parents can see this so they don't get ripped off. Sucks they're just gonna comment on this trying to justify it instead of being real about prices. No false information here don't hit me with that sweet super awesome cease and desist lmfao. Have a nice day! read more

*THIS IS A REVIEW FOR THEIR ONLINE STORE* I initially bought 10 marnie battle boxes. They said they only had 7 and sent an email stating that a refund for the 3 was on the way. I didnt receive the refund at that time and would have never noticed because i assumed i would get it and didnt check Instead of 7 marnie boxes i got 4 steven and 3 marnie battle boxes. I requested a return and that is when i noticed the missing refund. So i pointed it out and they sent the refund for the 3 marnies and the refund for the 4 returned stevens For some reason, this store keeps claiming that the 1st 3 marnie box refund was an accident and i need to pay them back. Weirdly they want me to buy more stuff from their store as the method of payback. After repeated attempts to show them that nothing is amiss and i have finally received the correct refunds they are threatening to report me to the police and sue me. Now they are claiming that they accidentally sent me three refunds and are making various other bogus claims. At this point i believe they are just trying to extort money out of me. No idea what the in store experience is like but i can't imagine that with the kind of customer service where you are in danger of being frivolously sued that it is a business worth supporting read more

It took me a while to write this review because I wanted to really think about what to say. Overall, I think this shop is great -- they have a wide variety of packs and singles, which is definitely a plus. However, I did notice that some cards are priced higher due to popularity rather than being based on market values from TCGPlayer or PriceCharting. For example, I was looking for a Mew card that typically goes for around $17, but it was listed at $52 here -- likely because Mew and Mewtwo cards are fan favorites. It's a bit disappointing if you're trying to build a deck and buy singles affordably, though of course, you can always check out other shops. I think this place could be even better if prices were reviewed or adjusted at least once a month, since card values change frequently. Otherwise, singles that stay overpriced might just end up sitting as dead stock. read more

They have great inventory and the staff is very helpful, every time I come here I am never disappointed

Met with Sean and had a great experience in the shop. Collections are legit . They also have plushies and other Pokémon related items from different generations and collabs. Prices aren't scalps at all. Worthwhile to visit for any collector. Also heads up they're getting an official certified league status . So that's awesome ! Thanks again Sean will come back often. read more

We visited Poke Stop in Tarzana, right off Ventura, and had such a great experience! The person working there was incredibly knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about Pokémon. My son asked at least 100 questions, and he patiently answered every single one with so much enthusiasm. We loved the store -- it has a great selection -- and we ended up buying some amazing cards and gifts, mostly because the seller saw how excited Michael was. Highly recommend this place for any Pokémon fan! read more

Pokestops - The best Poke store - Toy Stores Near Me - Encino, California

Just started up my collection again and wanted to see if any of my cards were worth anything come to find out my cards were fakes big deal, I asked how you would be able to notice out of curiosity in case I decide to purchase any cards from anywhere else, come to find out you need 6 years of experience and also own a bodega of a poke store to notice if cards are fake or not first and last time here so shoutout toy mania!!!!for the great advice and NOT having such unprofessional people working there. Just based on how customer service is here and also on the other reviews I wouldn't be surprised if this place lasts another year. Wouldn't be surprised to hear back looks like they have time to comment back instead of helping customer's professionally read more

I did some digging through my old Pokémon card stash and wanted to see whether I should grade some of the nicer cards I had found--maybe sell them on ebay or something. I called and was immediately assisted by the owner (I'm presuming). He was helpful in giving advice on the cards shown and seemed very willing to help. Overall a great experience. Would recommend! read more

Amazing service and experience!! A great selection and the owner is so nice and is willing to work with you!! Super close to the house, definitely coming back for more packs! read more

This place is awesome! Pokémon was my jam growing up so when I saw this place pop up, I had to stop and check it out. I was blown away the second I walked in. Feels like a true Japanese Pokémon store in the heart of the valley. If you like Pokémon or ever heard of Pokémon, you need to come here! read more

Absolute BEST Pokeshop in the LA area! Sean was so personable and knowledgeable! We had a great time shopping and just chatting with him about the cards, games and merch! Definitely stop in if you're in the area or in the search for any poke gear or gifts! read more

Amazing ! Been waiting for the store to open up and it did not disappoint! The owner was so kind and helpful for what my boyfriend and I were looking for ! Definitely will be coming back they have so many goodies you won't regret it ! read more

Hey everyone, if you really do love pokemon come check this place out. From Great slabs to some adorable collectibles.

Great service and a good selection of cards. Love coming here with my family to pick out new cards for our battles.

I went in to Pokestops looking for a few specific cards to boost my new deck I'm building. The shop owner (Sean I think his name was) pointed me to the shops binders which were organized and alphabetized. They even had an area with a table for me to sit and go through the binders. Didn't find the cards I was looking for but lots of good unopened product and some cool collectible singles in the case - graded and raw. Can't wait to go back with my 151 checklist and see if those binders can help me fill out my collection! read more

A small store with a medium selection of singles and a good amount of ETBs, boosters, etc and a plethora of toys as well. The staff was very nice and helpful. If you're in the area, it's worth stopping by. read more

Solid people, good customer service and overall good choices. I see bad reviews of overpriced product which is true. But I mean that's how it is everywhere you go that isn't an actual retail store Stop being assholes. We all know how it is. Don't beat em up for it. read more

Great selection of unique cards and Pokémon gifts! Not to mention tin the owner is so nice. Brought my son here for his birthday, the owner generously gifted him a rare card he has been wanting. Thank you for making his birthday so special! We will be back for more purchases! Highly recommend read more

Pokestops rips! Great selection great customer service! Sean is the man! Highly recommend! read more

My kid and her friend went to this store just to window shop. The kind store staff (?) gave my kid some packs and a binder. My kid was very happy and did not expect the freebies. I hope this store gets the success they deserve! read more

I saw a couple of negative reviews but decided to see for myself and I'm so happy I did. The owner Sean is such a cool guy and has an amazing collection. It's hard to find products like this and so I was thrilled to have a store like this, especially so close to home. Definitely recommend stopping in and checking out the collection, 5 stars for service and product selection! read more

A couple of weeks ago I wanted to pick up a pack of pokemon cards for my older son. And saw this place on Yelp. I guess the hours were shown incorrectly so they were basically almost all closed up when I arrived. The young lady that was pretty much just about to lock the security gate for the place was nice enough to reopen back up so I could get the pack of pokemon cards. I appreciated that. read more

Prices are wild. Additionally I think the singles for purchase have been weighed and sorted out because I asked if I could see multiple of the same pack and choose which I wanted and wasn't present with this option. I can't confirm whether my theory was true but it just didn't feel right. As someone who isn't actually into pokemon and used to buy a single randomly when seeing them near checkouts at markets, I am frustrated that even the unpopular singles are so expensive. read more

Sold my collection to these guys, got a great trade in value thank you for being so fast with the deal

Hi I Downloaded yelp just to write this review. I've been collecting for a good while now and these are some of the highest priced singles I've ever seen. What seems to be going on after reading some of the owners replies is that they are pricing the ungraded singles based on what they think they would get if they sent it into psa. I mean I get it but like... that defeats the whole point of psa, price go up after, not before. Even if the card would get a 10 it seems off, like why wouldn't they just grade it themselves and sell the slab for more? Doesn't add up. Sealed products were similarly overpriced, but not as extreme. not 1 star because there's a bunch of fun pokemon stuff in the room and a big snorlax :) read more

WE LOVE THIS SHOP!!! My kids are into Pokemon and absolutely love this place. Great selection and very fair prices. Sean is super cool with the kids and indulges their every question about Pokemon and asking how much every card or box in the store costs. They always want to open their pack in front of him so he can celebrate an awesome "pull" with them. My son recently bought a vintage GameBoy Advance there (better price than eBay) and then when he got games he begged me for 2 days to bring him down to the shop so he could show Sean and "let him play it" : ) . I grew up in a little town where when you went into the stores you knew everyone's names and felt like you belonged there. Pokestops has that vibe. This is a great local business we should support. read more

Drove all the way here. Says they close at 7:00 and was closed at 6:50 by when I got there. read more

Pokestops - Toy Stores Near Me - Encino, California

This place is great for men who have a pokemon obsession. The male owner is rude. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt and say he was tired. Nonetheless TERRIBLE customer service if you're taking young children. I waited a while to write my review because I didn't want it to be charged with emotions. We go to cardboard legends instead, the people there are top tier. This guy most likely thought we weren't going to spend money. He has stuffed animal and gadgets for KIDS!!! to not allow them to touch them is flat out ridiculous. This place is like a Sanrio for pokemon but the owners need a taste of humble pie. They DO NOT VALUE PEOPLE/customers. read more

Cute store, recently opened and the vibes are really nice. Helps that it was a direct bus too. read more

Went in, got some stuff, just to try to support a local shop, then made a comment on social media, which the owner proceeded to block me from, just stating that his prices were a bit steep. He sells everything well above market value. read more

Fun and vibrant spot to get Pokemon cards and other toys. Friendly staff and great for children of all ages to attend and discover the magic. Definitely a fan! Thanks again! read more
