Within 5 minutes of walking into this store I was a raving fan for life…read more I needed a gift for my 6 year old nephew and came here because of the reviews. Even walking in with high expectations, I was blown away by the level of service. George, Kemesha's husband, was working the store on his own today. When I walked in and I asked for his help to select a gift, he apologized that his wife wasn't there. Then he called her. He put her on speaker phone and she guided me to an amazing gift. I could have looked at the shelf all day and not "seen" it. She wanted to give me another option too -- and I appreciated her integrity in that, but this first one was perfect! Next was gifts for my nieces and she directed me to a selection where literally everything was so perfect. And there were things there that I would buy for myself! When I mentioned I also needed a gift for another nephew, whose birthday is in a couple of weeks, she encouraged me to come back. She said that she could have recommended something in stock, but that she was getting more merchandise next week and didn't want to just sell me anything. This store isn't exactly around the corner from me; it was a detour to come here. Shopping online would be more convenient, in theory. But some things are more important than convenience. There is a level of care in how Kemesha and George run their store that cannot be replaced. Within 5 minutes Kemesha and George won me over as a raving fan client for life. This is a business run on integrity and caring, and I'm thrilled to give them my business. PS - I rarely take the time to write online reviews, so consider that for what it's worth to you.

We have been using this store as our go to when we need presents for a birthday or other similar…read moreoccasion. As the parent of an elementary school student, we typically go there quite often. The manager, Nancy, is very sweet and a whiz at wrapping anything in the store. We are members of the rewards program and have made use of many $10 rewards certificates. This business has two locations, Westport and Stamford. We like to support local businesses and have chosen to shop them despite some lower prices at cheaper chains like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. We achieved a $10 rewards certificate just prior to the local school closures and statewide lock down. Clearly, during the lock down and the pandemic as a whole, we have done our best to avoid crowds and low ventilated areas. There have also not been ANY birthday parties since March. Today, we took the opportunity to venture into the store to get a present for a close friend (again, no party). After completing our shopping, with Nancy's help, I was astonished to learn that my now expired reward would NOT be honored. I tried to call the corporate office three times to speak with "Nick", but I was sent to voicemail each time. During the pandemic, I have been given extensions on airline miles, travel points, hotel reservations and various other rewards, coupons and now expired benefits. On their website, this company has a tab that claims to support local communities. If they truly want to support communities, the policy of not honoring rewards that expired during the pandemic must be scrapped. The day after we shopped, Nancy called me personally to say that she had spoken with corporate to fight for the customer rewards. Her persuasive efforts apparently worked and she reported that, the next time I come to the store, my expired pandemic rewards would be honored. She is great at her job and I hope she is treated as she deserves to be.

I shopped today - the service was terrible because the saleswoman was focused on her cleaning and…read morenothing else. I have three young grandchildren with August birthdays and ended up buying just one item. When I walked in (I was the only customer in the store), I remarked that the store layout has changed, but the salesperson didn't ask me what ages I was shopping for or explain how the store is organized. I found a book I was going to purchase and noticed two pages were torn, which I pointed out to the saleswoman. She first said that's because the book isn't new, but then acknowledged it is new. I had to request that she look in the back for another book (she said she didn't have another). I found a toy in a box and left it on a table, and the saleswoman said she was cleaning there and would put the box at the front. I asked about another type of toy and was told it wasn't available. Tired of mumbled responses from a woman with cleaning spray in her hand, I gave up. At check-out I requested the present be wrapped, but I changed my mind when I saw the wrapping paper is thick brown paper that looks as though it should be at a fish or meat counter. I used to go to this toy store pre-COVID, and yes it could be a little chaotic. But the updated store is too far the other direction, not welcoming. I have six (soon to be seven) grandchildren age four and under, and the store wasted an opportunity to serve a repeat customer.

Naturally we went in here and not just bc my son saw a pinball game he really wanted - for a very fair price I have to say. They had a lot of nice things for kids and babies.

It was a really nice store and I may def go back to support this mom and pop shop for toys bc I found the prices to be fair.

When I showed you at the store, all of my balloons were popped except 2. I was told by the young lady working that the balloons were deflating and there was no note to say I was coming to get them (missing note was not my problem). When I asked to speak with the owner to get some sort of credit, I was told I could REPURCHASE new balloons or call the next day to talk to the owner, which would have been today. When I called today, I was hung up on multiple times, and told it was my fault I did not get them on the day I said I was. I asked for a refund or store credit and I was told no, there was nothing they could do to help me. Meanwhile I paid for the balloons so no matter what fashion they were in, it was my prerogative to decide what I wanted to do with them, not for the store to pop and throw my money in the garbage (just short of $60). Terrible customer service especially for a small business who needs community support. I shopped in there often and am extremely disappointed by the lack of service I received over the past two days. That is not a way to treat paying customers!
