There was no seal or tape on either container. When we opened them, one was clearly not in new condition. The face was almost completely rubbed off, which made it look like it had been used or handled quite a bit before being sold to us. It was really disappointing, especially for my kids and considering the price. These same dumpling squishies are now sold at the dollar store for around $3, so paying $14.99 for one that appeared used was especially frustrating.

I went there looking for some items for my nephew that will be born soon. I was warmly welcomed as soon as I walked in and the service was excellent! They have a great selection of baby and children's clothing, shoes, baby gear, toys, bibs, burb cloths, books, and more. The items are reasonably priced and there are lots of high quality items that are gently used in the store so you will have a great selection to choose from. I also really loved how well organized and clean the store was. It made it easy to find what I was looking for and know where everything was at. I ended up getting three pairs of pants/leggings and a bib. This place is amazing for both those that have kids and those that don't but want to love on and support those who do. They even have a carousal outside, which I thought was perfect! They also have a rewards program if you are a frequent shopper there. Highly recommend to all!

It pains me to have to write this review. I've been a comic book collector in the Bay Area since…read morethe 1970s with over 45 years of experience with local shops. I used to consider Batcave one of the 'better' comic book stores. I first started going to the store in 2019 when my wife and I would make the store one of our main destinations to buy back issues when we were passing through the area. This store used to be something my wife and I looked forward to visiting. Unfortunately, that has changed. About a month ago, we made a special trip to Santa Rosa to pick out some back issues. We had not visited in a while and we looked forward to it. While browsing the back issues, I found that I needed to use the restroom. I saw a fellow customer go into a door that appeared to be a bathroom. There was no sign on the door indicating that this restroom was not for public use, etc. When the customer walked out, I went in after them. It was extremely gross inside with a mop partially blocking access to the toilet and I felt uncomfortable touching anything. The next thing I know, the owner was yelling at me aggressively through the door and pounding in a violent manner. He shouted, "The restroom isn't for public use!!!" I walked back out past the owner, apologizing profusely while he glared at me. I explained that I saw another customer go in to use the restroom so I assumed it was for public use. I told him I was extremely sorry, that it was an honest mistake and that it wouldn't happen again. The owner didn't respond, just scowled at me. I heard his wife loudly yelling, "(insert expletive insult here)!!!" I proceeded to put the back issues I had picked out back in their boxes. I no longer felt comfortable spending my money there after being shouted at and insulted. It was a mistake anyone could have made considering the door didn't have signage saying not to use it. But the owner's reaction was over the top and extremely aggressive over something so small. I went to find my wife, explaining what had happened when I showed up without back issues. She was extremely upset and unbeknownst to me posted a review saying that the owner's behavior was unprofessional. She was not ok with the way I was treated after so many years of going there. The owner could have responded to her review in an professional adult manner but instead he chose to throw a tantrum in his response, claiming that I had left urine on his floor causing a biohazard. I thought that was the end of it. However, it wasn't. A few weeks later, I was attending the old school Berkeley Comic Show. I walked up to one of the booths and started looking through a long box. Suddenly, a hand came over the box, blocking my view. A voice yelled at me, "you are NOT welcome here! You need to keep walking! You are banned for LIFE!" I walked away calmly, caught off guard by his unhinged anger towards me. He was shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to get the attention of the other vendors at the convention and his customers - anyone who would listen. He was trying to embarrass me and get the other vendors to turn me away as well. Thankfully, the other vendors paid him no notice. He was shouting about what a piece of garbage I was for using his bathroom, how pissed he was because my wife had written a negative review, he kept going on and on. I have honestly never encountered anything like this behavior in my forty five years of comic collecting. The level of anger coming from him was out of proportion for what was a simple misunderstanding. All I can only think that the owner must be an extremely unhappy and bitter person to hold such a grudge over something so small, that he would try and ruin my convention experience by embarrassing me to other vendors. Needless to say, I will never be shopping at Batcave again. I would encourage others to do the same. I wasn't even going to post this review until I was harassed in a public space by the owner. I only hope that the owner gets the help that needs, whether that's attending anger management courses or possibly going into a different field of business.

While the prices are a bit higher than the typical secondhand store, the quality, variety, and condition of items here make it worth it. The shop is packed full of vintage and antique glassware, jewelry, mirrors, decor, cameras, lighters, silverware, blankets, furniture, and so much more. I could walk around for hours (and I did!). Despite how much there is to see, the place is very thoughtfully organized and displayed. The building is large enough that it doesn't feel overcrowded like some vintage places can feel. Highly recommend if you're looking for somewhere to find one of a kind items and unique decor.
