“Very helpful and friendly staff. Got a good quality oversized balloon for a special occasion. Staff was helpful with suggestions and combinations. Service seems better than other Michael's stores I've been to in other areas.”
“Excellent selection of art supplies, fair prices with regular sales, nice local business to support. Tons of canvases, one of the last true art supply stores around. Helpful staff, kind, upbeat environment.”
“Love it here. Everyong is always friendly and knowledgeable about the various hobbies on offer in the store. Great for a conversation about tools, models, games, etc. Prices are competitive and they have a wide variety in stock.
Good group of folks here. ?”
“The Coin Corner is a wonderful place to visit and shop. Dave and Sandy (and dog Penny) curate an excellent collection of historic U.S. and foreign coins along with the standard fare of gold and silver bullion pieces. Even little kids can get started collecting coins from a bygone era or finding an international coin to include with a school project. Service and knowledge are above 5 stars.”

“My boyfriend is really happy with his new TRX‑4M. He already has the TRX‑4, but he’s been wanting the mini so he can take it anywhere. I got it for him as a surprise birthday gift, and this store made it so easy. They held it for me, and I really appreciate how professional and helpful they were. My boyfriend is very happy, and this made his birthday even better.”
“I’ve been coming to WBU Yorba Linda for 20+ years. The staff have always been extremely helpful and they carry so many wonderful items that are unique and beautifully made for the yard/home. Thank you for providing so much for a wonderful hobby.?”
“Keith is great. Great prices on yokomo parts. He is an authorized dealer. He has a beautiful drift track and I got to take a pic of my daughter with one of the spots on his RC drift track. Thanks man.”
“Pretty cool shop! There’s a section of Gashapons in the back with some really cute figurines. About $3 for a token and lots of figurines. Definitely recommend checking out if you’re coming to/from Frank & Son Collectible Toys.”
“Rolled up to start my journey into poverty Hammer 40K. It was a really good experience, they let me practice on models to paint as well as assembly so that way I could feel more confident as I start working on my own set. Set. And they threw a good chunk of swag my way. This is the store to come to”
“My visit was during the Christmas. The store was clean and still very organized. The team members were knowledgeable (I don't know if they were seasonal or not) despite being busy with guests. Those at the register were very patient with helping the guests and very efficient in moving the line along. There knowledge (and craft ideas) and efficiency is why I've always enjoyed coming to that store.”
“First time ever coming here. I had a wonderful time checking everything out and even getting some stuff I had been looking for. Definitely recommend checking it out.”
“Hobby Lobby offers such a large variety of items and meets my needs. I would love to see a great selection of latch hook rug kits with peaceful, hopeful scenes and uplifting messages, if possible.”
“I have been to this store a couple times and it's always a fun place to browse and check out the Merchandise. Everything from All Military Branches with Hats, Clothing, Uniform Insignia and loads more stuff like Survival Gear and gadgets. It's a Fun place to check out and it's Big Store.”
“This maybe the best comic book store in Orange County. Large store with a very friendly staff. Every time I come in they engage in the usually pop culture banter I enjoy when I visit any comic book store. Some stores get annoyed if customers chime in but not these guys. They have a lot of back issues that are well organized and easy to find. Lots of collectibles for sale especially a large choice of action figures.”

“Their place nearby Disneyland is fantastic! They got nice merchandise, pins AND trading cards to buy from here in the US plus Europe, Hong Kong, Shanghai and mostly Japan. Turns out my friend works there, and she is very sweet, and tne items are so cool, I can get an eye catch on those. I wish Disney gives this place a sponsor as a perk. How cool could that be? Anyway, I enjoy this shop and I am looking forward to go there again.”
“Had a pretty good experience after coming from Franks. Their selection of Pokémon cards was organized and the staff was able to help me choose good options for sealed and sets to start collecting in this rough market. Also got a nice vault-x binder that was much well priced than online.”
“This store had an amazing supply of small bottles of paint and spray cans of paint that I have been unable to find elsewhere for my model repairs of military ships. Now that I have found Gear Box, I am happy to have a reliable source for hard to find supplies.”
“Very nice and knowledgeable staff. They were well stocked with parts and were willing to take the time to talk to me about my setup, options and best practices. It’s always nice to be somewhere with people who are into what they do.”
“The staff here are very helpful. They understand magic and offer very competitive prices. They have magic singles, sealed product, and accessories for some of the best prices I could find. The only drawback is cash only but honestly it keeps me on my budget so I don't mind. Check their Facebook page for store updates.”
“Always a great craft store for me and my mom when we need more yarn for our crafts. We end up getting more than what we need but no complaints since we always use it all.”
“My fascination with magic started at Walt Disney Elementary in Mrs. Arneson’s kindergarten classroom, where she showed our class a coloring book that transformed blank pages into colorful images with a touch of magic. When we begged her to reveal the secret, she told our class that the magic store down the street, Best Magic, was the one place you could find this mind-blowing book.
Every time we drove past the store after school, I would beg my mom to stop, but she would always say, “Nathan, we’ll go next time, we’re too busy today!” Unfortunately, I moved away from Anaheim a few years later, never having gotten my hands on that magical coloring book.
Almost 20 years later, I finally stepped inside the place that had lived in my imagination since kindergarten. Right away, we were greeted by the adorable shop dog, Mr. Wiggles, who seemed just as excited about magic as we were. Michelle kindly showed us around and shared the history of the store, and Kurt—a former employee and magician—performed a few tricks and even showed us ones we could learn ourselves (with enough practice, of course). And yes, I finally got the magic coloring book that amazed me nearly two decades ago!
Best Magic is exactly the kind of place you hope still exists: a welcoming local shop filled with tricks, costumes, makeup, gags, and genuine people who love sharing the art of magic. I would highly recommend Best Magic to anyone who loves the art of magic. The wait was well worth it, and I cannot wait to come back again.”
“Great price for Disney souvenirs!!!Came back again for more Disney merch!Ask for Kenny real cool guy.Another year (2023) to Disneyland and a stop at Mystical Gifts and Souvenirs!”
“This is one of my favorites store of geek stuff. You can find so many cool things here, but the biggest highlight is definitely the clothing and bags. The jackets look very stylish, with a hip-hop-inspired vibe, bright colors, and lots of unique details and accessories. These are the kinds of pieces you simply won’t find in a regular store.
I was also really impressed by the quality of the T-shirts. They come in different fabric weights, from lighter to heavier materials, but all of them feel well-made. Love the quality of prints and embroidery.
Besides clothing, there’s big choice of cute merchandise as well. They sell official Genshin Impact bags that are excellent quality, with sturdy zippers and durable inner lining.
There are also lots of creative tote bags featuring a wide variety of designs and prints.
Of course, the store also has a huge selection of pins, keychains, stationery, small toys, and even creative keyboard keycaps.
This place feels like a little paradise for anyone who loves creative products. You can easily spend hours browsing. As for the prices, I’d say the clothing is definitely worth the cost, because the quality fully justifies the price. And when it comes to everything else, the overall quality is consistently very good.”
“Walked in thinking it's just HG walked out with RG RX78 v 2.0 and Deathscythe Hell. The store is up to date with new releases and wall to wall kits with tools at the end.
Hats off to them for being so friendly and able to answer all price questions.”
“Probably one of the friendliest atmospheres among gaming stores I've been too, The staff is knowledgeable about most of their products and the space in the store for people to hang out and game is Plenty.”
“I usually order online then pick up in the store. The products are always ready when I pick up. Today I had to make an exchange because I had selected the wrong color yarn and Mr. B was very helpful getting the exchange corrected. Great service.”
“Great little card and collectibles shop. Bought a few packs of upper deck. Pulled my dream card here. Had some affordable packs for the kids to buy. They pulled some pretty cool stuff too.”
“Great shop and very well organized! Came in and there were tables so people can play and relax. Picked up a few trainer cards for my personal collection but will come by again very soon!”
“Cool shop , has tons of Disney , Pokémon , and memorabilia would recommend, as for sports cards their selection is small , lots of old cards , don’t carry anything from current year”
“I went here last Thursday as part of an adventure looking for LCSs in the Whittier area after recently moving. I was very happy with my experience. The shop is clean and inviting, with a large selection of bargain cards, raw cards, and slabbed cards across both sports and TCG.
Their inventory was solid, with a majority of modern cards and even some “junk wax,” which I can’t help but buy whenever I see it! The two working that day were Rich and (I know I’m going to spell this wrong, sorry!) Kaylin. They were both very friendly and easy to talk to.
While checking out, I mentioned to Kaylin that I was buying the junk wax for my son’s birthday party so his friends could open packs. He went out of his way to give me a few shop-assembled packs of baseball cards and a pack of penny sleeves to help get them started. That was incredibly thoughtful and meant a lo, it’s awesome to see people who care about getting younger kids interested in the hobby.
Overall, an excellent experience, and I will definitely be back!”
