I've been a regular Geppetto's customer for a number of years now.

I used to take my kids here to a toddler playground and of course no visit can be complete without visiting the store. The store workers are knowledgeable and know all their products well, happy recommend a game or an age-appropriate toy. The sections in the store are well curated by age groups and interests. They also provide a complimentary gift wrapping, which is super helpful. My kids always find unique and interesting toys that you normally won't find at Target or major toy stores. They do have seasonal sales and give out coupons from time to time.

The guy working there was super helpful and fun to talk to. I didn't realize they had so many nostalgic board games I would have wanted but I controlled myself and did not get but we do love games.

I'm sure next time we are in the area we will run in and see if we find something else to enjoy.

Parking is never a problem as this Hallmark store is located in a huge strip mall. 5 stars!

Tamara Houghten (owner) had success with her first store and has now opened this location in Encinitas and one in Carlsbad. So much cute stuff here and I was made to feel welcome which always helps me decide if I will spend any money or not. I love that Tamara offers an online shopping presence as well for those of us that don't live near by. So many categories to choose from including lotions, candles, chocolate, jewelry, and pantry gifts. They also support independent artists. You can't miss this shop as it is right on Encinitas Blvd. Street parking only. Be sure to stop by and say Hi should you find yourself in the neighborhood.

I stopped by to pick up a card and some birthday decorations. They have great prices for gift bags, tissue paper, and balloons.

This is always my go-to spot whenever I'm in need of some last minute decorations.

They checked in to make sure I was finding everything okay. I found a few things I was interested in and tried them on. I loved one item. J.crew Factory is great for their basics but they really have a lot of cute dresses, skirts, pants and more. The quality is a little different from the non factory store, but I've still been happy with items I've purchased. There is definitely room for shopping at both. I went to the counter to make my purchase. The cashier was helping someone else so another employee came to help me. He was really welcoming, upbeat and helpful. My sale was quick and easy. I had a terrible experience at the San Marcos store and haven't been back since so I was a little apprehensive. After this visit, I will definitely return in the future. The service level is what I am accustomed to having been both a J Crew and Factory store customer for years. As an added bonus it's much closer to me than the other locations.

Whether I'm browsing for books, looking at gifts, or just wandering around, it's one of my favorite places to spend an hour or two. The employees have always been friendly and helpful, and there's plenty of parking in the shopping center. It can get pretty busy, especially on weekends, and the checkout line can move a little slowly at times, but that's really my only complaint. I also love the café. Grabbing a Starbucks drink and a snack while I browse is part of the experience for me. It's a fun place to spend time by yourself or even go on a casual date. One thing to keep in mind is that the café does not accept Starbucks gift cards, which was a surprise to me. Other than that, I highly recommend this location.

They also still have a cozy Starbucks inside with the OG 90s/2000s decor. Okay, onto the whole reason I'm writing this review. TDLR I was gypped into joining their rewards program. I go to check out and am asked if I am a B&N member. I say that I am not and the cashier proceeds to inform me of this "special offer" they're offering to non-members today only. All he asks is my name and email. In hindsight, this was a red flag and was most certainly a gig to get me to sign up without explicitly saying so. Low and behold, I get handed a rewards card and the receipt reflects my new membership. I immediately phone into their support line (there's no option to do this yourself online) to deactivate my account. Hey, I get it. As an employee you have to always ask people to join. However, please just do the honorable thing and be straightforward and respectful if they decline. I can deal with persistence. What I do not appreciate is deceit. Slimy experience. I will not be back.

I have never been so disgusted by a manager's behavior in my life…read more Today, I witnessed Jerry openly yelling at employees and speaking to them with absolutely no respect. It was humiliating to watch. The way Jerry talked to those employees was as if they were broken machines instead of human beings. What was even more disturbing was that the employees seemed completely used to it, which makes me wonder how often this happens. As a customer, I was shocked and extremely uncomfortable. No employee deserves to be treated this way, especially in front of customers. A leader should build people up, not tear them down. If this is the kind of management your company allows, then there is a serious problem. Jerry's behavior was unprofessional, inappropriate, and unacceptable. I will be reporting this to corporate because employees deserve far better than being publicly yelled at and degraded while trying to do their jobs.
