“Javier in Framing is exceptional. He is thorough and polite and amazingly fast. He is certainly my choice for any future projects I have. Very happy to have chosen Michael's and worked with him.”
“Amazing store, they are extremely helpful, and have an amazing inventory of parts and niche items right in the store that can be tough enough to find online with shipping!”
“The staff made the visit quick and easy. I'd called ahead to inquire about a book, and when I came in, they led me right to the series I was looking for, grabbed the book, and brought it right to register. The whole interaction was no more than a few minutes. Very easy!”
“Came in with limited knowledge doing some Christmas shopping, the man behind the counter was friendly and knowledgeable and was able to help me out, the prices seemed fair as far as I could tell.”
“Always a fantastic experience, friendly knowledgeable staff, great deals and great conversations. Hang on to your wallets tight, always very easy to go over budget at yellow jacket but the prices and the card availability is virtually unmatched in victoria.
Support you FLGS and come check em out!
Keep up the great work guys!”
“Met Ryan for the first time today - excellent guy. Very knowledgeable and wasn't trying to push sales or anything - genuinely just loved his job and his hobby. Love that atmosphere he gives off .”
“What a wonderful store - not just junky beads that you are left to figure out by yourself (I went to 2 of those) but staffed by thoughtful people who offered to help. The beads and stones were real - they knew what each kind was. I wanted something specific and they really dug into their stock not only to find what I wanted but to offer advice on the assembly (which they did for me - I had a 2 hour timeline). I'll visit again next time I'm there. Genuinely nice knowledgeable people.”
“Very knowledgable and friendly staff who helped me find exactly what I needed. The store was well-organized, with a great selection of high-quality jerseys and other merchandise. Have been there several times and prices are pretty good especially the sale prices.”
“This is a beautiful place to stop while in the Oak Bay neighbourhood. There is a wide selection of toys for every child. The toys are interesting, unique, and some are even educational. There is a life-size playmobil statue in the store which is a wonderful feature. There where affordable, adorable stuffed animals, outdoor toys, and classic toys that most adults would recognize from their childhoods'. They had a great accessory selection, which included included elegant tiaras. This store has toys for children of all ages, and the staff was friendly and helpful.”
“Mike was wonderfully helpful and patient as he dealt with many customers at the same time. We had a great talk about collectibles and he helped me out with a birthday present. I would go back there.”
“Great store for art supplies they don't have everything but most things. Especially since art supplies are hard to come by on Vancouver island, unless you travel to Victoria downtown.”

“I like going in on weekdays because its usually quiet, and the drinks are reasonably priced, a rare find in Victoria these days. This is the best spot in town to play pool, and easily accessible by public transportation”
“The balloons were easy to find in the isle, 18 inches is larger than most other stores have, but not as large as I was hoping for when inflated at home. Decided not to get them inflated with helium, but got 8 packs (at 5 per pack, that's 40 balloons total). The hardest part was deciding what colors to get. Ultimately went with 2 packs each of petal pink, gold, black, and silver. Decent price for the number of balloon per pack.
Michael's should consider stocking larger sizes, of 24 inches+.”
