My tween and his friends recently stopped in after a very hard day at school (bomb threat) and was warmly greeted by these kind souls. They had several board and card games open and encouraged the kids to try them out. We went back later to buy a few things, but it was clear that there was no obligation to buy. The enthusiasm and expertise of these wonderful employees can't be overstated. Perhaps they knew that the kids in our neighborhood were stressed out that day and needed some innocent fun; perhaps not.

We received a gift from here in August. When I put batteries in it never turned on. I went back to…read morereturn it and they wouldn't accept it due to covid. When I explained it was broken they still wouldn't take it back or exchange it. We went back a month later and they said it had been over 30 days and still wouldn't take it. Finally a third time going back they agreed to 'make an exception' and let us return the broken toy they sold. Then the assistant manager didn't know how to process a return. Huge time suck. Horrible costumer service.

The fabulous display continues throughout the store, creating a very enjoyable shopping experience. The selection of clothing, books and toys are well curated for ages ranging newborn to small children. I had a lovely chat with the owner who was both friendly and helpful with my shopping needs. She let me know about a clothing sale they were having and provided fun facts about the books I was browsing. (Local authors sold here) I was pleased to see good Spanish book options, and ended up purchasing one as a gift. Many of the items here seemed to be "earth friendly", made with good materials at a reasonable price. I will be back to shop for gifts in the future!

I wondered here after checking out Paige and Leaf Cafe which they are attached to. The store was crammed with interesting stuff to look at. They also have a small table in the middle of the store plus some chairs scattered around the store for seating to do some reading. I saw a sign on the door that they do events for the community and have book authors can by. They have a bargain and 20% section to save some money. It's big inside and I got lost looking at toys and reading excerpts of some books (including the Grimm Fairytales) and spent about an hour here. Overall, I appreciate the amount of variety of items they carry and I think that sets them apart from other bookstores.
