My wife and I came in today to take a look at what they had as we were in the area on a date, and…read morewe're not disappointed!! My wife loves her stuffies so walking in and seeing a display stand of stuffables was a treat. We both play D&D on occasion and their dice selection was a lovely surprise for the both of us. And our dream is to one day have some minis for our D&D games, so we'll definitely come back when we're ready to start our collection. They also have play space in the back, but one of the tables was in use so I didn't get a pic of that space.

They clearly care about the products they sell and always go above and beyond to be sure that our questions are answered and requests are met. We've been shopping here for over 20 years and I could not possibly recommend them any higher. Shop local!

The older Gentleman just continued to tell awful jokes to customers and make gremlin noises all over the store instead of helping. We asked if they had the boy version of the play rug on display that was trucks instead of princesses and it was like we asked for a kidney! They both just stared at us and said "No" and continued to just gremlin noise around the store. Avoid unless you want a headache!

My family loves this store. They stock a great mix of less common but high quality toy brands and…read moretried-and-trues (e.g., Lego). We've been shopping at HBP since my daughter was a toddler, and now that she's a tween, she can still find things she likes and wants, which is a testament in itself! I agree that the customer service can be a bit hit-or-miss (some are wonderful, some are indifferent), but I have to disagree with the reviewer who found the store looking less than appealing; I've never seen that, and we're there pretty often. It's also bigger and more open than some of the other locations, and with Jabberwocky and Chococoa next door, you really can't go wrong.

I've been multiple times before and I think the last time they didn't have as many toys because…read moreEaster was the weekend before but it's very cute. It's just in the basement and full of things. Some of them I haven't seen before but some I definitely have. I really enjoy the school section especially the pencils which I think are so cute. I personally like the fidget section because sometimes they have different ones. I do love supporting a toy business mostly because we don't have anymore so it's nice to support the small businesses. I also really love the tokens that you can buy so I think that is really cool.

They are in the parking lot directly to the left of the original location. They have a ton to choose from, from old back issue comics, new weekly issues with subscription availability, toys, card games, and a room to play games. If you're local, or even passing through and love old comics/collect comics or toys, this place is a great stop

This is literally the best-curated kid's store I've ever been to. A ton of books, including a lot I hadn't seen in stores before before but that were classics or classic-adjacent. Cute clothes, cute toys, just everything you could ask for. And the layout of the shop is so good too!! Lots of great little clusters of related items. One nice bonus is like, yeah, it's not cheap kid's stuff, but you also have a million books at list price to choose from. So if you're burnt out on KPT prices, you can get great souvenirs at the same price you'd pay at home. Honestly 10/10, no notes, I would definitely come back if I was ever in the state (even if I were just going to Portland).
