We had a wonderful experience at the store. The clerk Linda was so helpful and knew all about the toys. As grandparents we are delighted to have a place where we can get well-made toys that are so thoughtfully curated.

This book and toy store is a real hidden treasure. The stock they have is really well thought out and they have so many special toys and books. The lady who runs the store is really sweet and happy to offer help and recommendations. She happily chatted to my two boys about their upcoming birthday parties and answered lots of questions from them both.
We can’t recommend this store enough. Also they have parking right behind which is good to know with the current construction chaos in Marda Loop.

Today, we went to the Marda Gras and stumbled upon this nice shop with great friendly staff. The lady at the front window welcomed us and made a great impression such that we went into the store to find another equally nice lady at the counter, who advised us on the toys we were looking at and also gave us great recommendations. On top of that, she made our shopping experience a great joy and we are really happy we visited this shop. We will definitely come back again and would recommend it to everyone. And if the ladies are reading this review, thank you for the great customer service - my wife and sons are delighted by your hospitality.

Normally love this place, but after going on Saturday with a very impatient 3 year old right when your website hours say you open at 10, to see 11am on your door, come back an hour later for you to still not be open and have to manage full tantrum is not fair- please update your website hours and door signage for when you actually do open which is for now a mystery.

My mom used to take me to here after I went to the dentist (same building) and she'd let me get one new animal figurine to play with. Awesome store with a ton of memories!

Great store. Great selection and the person working there was great help. They were opened on Xmas Eve and the nice lady helped me pick a few books for my neices and nephew. I'll definitely be back..
Not sure why people say it's "expensive".. the prices of the books are printed on the book.. they don't adjust the prices.

Neatly displayed, clean and bright premises. The prices reflect the location. The choices are limited, also due to space, but for what it is in the area, pretty good option.
