“Amazing place. Sells at market price and sells a lot of good stuffs. Staffs are super friendly and amazing with customer service. Would always come back for more cards.”
“Jason and RJ are Great. Best RC shop around. I took an RC car there that I wanted to upgrade. Jason and RJ told me that it really wouldn't be worth it and to save my money. That is really refreshing to hear in this day and age...honesty goes a loooooong way in my book. They have a huge selection and hard to beat prices. The pricing is very close to Amazon, plus you know you are going to get quality products when you buy something from J&J customs. Highly highly recommended ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”
“Amazing service!!!!! If you are considering purchasing a sewing machine, serger, quilter or embroidery system, GO HERE FIRST! I tried out 1-2 systems in each manufacture line. Nice to be able to test features first and compare prices.”
“Easily the best priced events in the Bay Area, with good prizing to boot. Very lively place, friendly employees, and my personal favorite, Standard MTG events every week! Great gem for standard events especially”
“I had a bad experience last year, but it was also an overreaction on my part. Best card shop in the entire Bay Area. Their pre order discounts are pretty awesome and they have PSA drop off events. Ty Mojo!”
“I absolutely recommend this place if you like old before 2010s animes and manga. The store has very rare and old posters, mangas, and DVDs for ridiculously good prices. stuff you can not find online. Mangas are in English and japanese. The owner is really kind and will look in the back to pull out any extra books he has related to your interests. I never seen such an extensive and well maintain collection of old mangas for sale. I love this place even more than the stores in San Francisco Japan Town. They also have sets of beautiful handmade ceramics and traditional Japanese wall arts.”

“Must visit for kids while you are in the Bay area.
It has a wide variety of stationary and other things for kids.
Store for all ages !!”
“This toy store has been around for decades. Friendly, knowledgeable staff with a plethora of inventory. Support your local small business. This is what America was built on. Forget the big box corporate stores. The Wooden Horse has all your toy needs. I’ll be back!”
“I was in the store for the first time today. It was an amazing experience. Christine must have brought out a dozen pairs of shoes and helped me with the tricky buckle. She was patient and also fun to work with. I now have two brand new pairs of shoes at a reasonable price and that fit well.”

“I've been a semi regular visitor and buy/sell coins here. Excellent customer service and I really appreciate the sharing of info as I'm still somewhat new to collecting and gold coins. Thank you”
“Went there to look up some frame customization. Brenda was extremely helpful and laid out all of the options to us. She even shared valuable insights for what kind of frames to get. Interaction with her is extremely pleasant.”
“Such a cool place and raceway but most importantly this place has the friendliest and most helpful staff that are passionate about RC racing. Looking forward to coming back here more with my nephews, absolutely great atmosphere.”
“I took my 13 yr old son here looking for some Warhammer 40k kits. The staff was super helpful in suggesting what items to pick up first. They also made us feel welcomed in the store.
Thanks for all the help. We will be back.”
“We sell Pokemon card games. I bought a sleeve that seems to be a US exclusive design. The store staff will talk to you in a friendly manner. Thank you very much.”
“Super glad to say that Kandy is my go to spot for all my kpop necessities and cute things. The staff here is great and super friendly! Accidentally came here when they were closed (sorry!), but a staff member let my friends and I in anyway. :) Kandy recently opened up more space and I’m eager to see how much they grow with all their new events and more!”
“If there is anything that makes retail shops look attractive, it's how tidy and organized the departments are - a slight adjacency to customer service . Michaels in Cupertino is organized and so far - has commendable customer service (as long as they're smiling when they interact, I'm sold). The staff at the register and on the floor are helpful even during the holidays. Every shelf has a variety of great selection (even new to the arts and crafts items are here!). I've been coming to this store for years, but not often, and there are the occasional customers with their unruly kids knocking over merchandise or just running around the store like a playground - I know this is something the staff cannot control but this creates an inconvenience to other customers as these little people have no clue about good behavior. One time I had to give my "I'll eat you alive" look to a little girl who pushed against my cart while she was running. I think that kid will never leave home after that. I digress. The framing department seems to be the busiest area in the store. Each time I had to go use their bathroom (clean), there were always customers waiting to be helped. I take that as a good sign? There are always great sales going on with their yarn and beading supplies. I'm happy. Their clearance items are of great value and if you get in during the right time, you'll even get to purchase $10 wholesale boxes from previous seasons. I shop here, usually at random...not a great idea. Parking is easy and the strip is a one-stop-shop with the Safeway and Ulta next door. Even a RDFL (Ross Dress For Less). It's time to conclude this thesis. It's an easy 5 stars.”
“Yea I came in today and I ended up buying a dragster myself I can tell you I recommend this place definitely coming back for more stuff it's better price than what I seen online so definitely worth it”
“What can I say? If it's plastic and fantastic they have it or can get it. Zip ties cheaper than Walmart. The always fun discards/trimmings bin. Neat little bottles with a variety of tops you can pick and choose from spray to drip to (non-sharp) needles great for dispensing things like oil for your bike. I'm pretty convinced this place inspired the movie "The Graduate". They'd been around for about a decade and a half by the time that movie was filmed so I rest my case. *Plastics*”

He was extremely knowledgeable and had all the tools needed to test each piece of jewelry I had. He went out of his way to help me and gave me his honest opinion. Thank you!”

“Michael’s always has what I need for my crafts. Stores are always clean and staff is very helpful when I need them. Also, can’t go wrong with their rewards program. It’s saved me so much money especially being on a fixed income.”
“I went in to buy a little art project in a box and planned on it being $10 I was super stoked when It rang up on clearance for only $3.00 They always have great savings, coupons, promotions. Also, their staff is always really helpful and friendly.”
“I would say STILL the go-to place for all things art & craft, and ingredients for handmade stuff! They stuff is not cheap - in price or quality - and they do carry premium brands however, I don't think this is the place for the upper level artisan to get their supplies at - mainly for everyday, basic and intermediate crafters”
“This is a huge Michaels and it's fully stocked too. I went in here to look for a tape measure and was surprised to see how big this Michaels is. Everything is also neatly stocked and there's a cart when you need it Service was ok. They have someone near check out to see if you want to self pay or wait for a cashier. It's faster to diy check out. I would definitely come back to this Michaels!”

“I Love Michael’s, clean friendly and carry’s most of what I need. Rewards program is a plus especially when you get that special discount coupon that works on sale items and don’t forget the voucher.”
“Found this shop while traveling. Super friendly service. Great selection of Gunpla and other figures, even some you can't typically find on shelves anymore. It seems a little chaotic with how everything is everywhere, but after browsing it made more sense and felt like a treasure hunt. Pricing was competitive, even on the out of print or rarer items.
Do yourself a favor and support this gem! I wish we had stores like this in Maryland. I'm glad I found it.”

“Came here for some card supplies and got exactly the help I needed. Looked around and they offer quite a variety of supplies, cards by the pack (or box) and some sports memorabilia as well. I asked a few questions and they took their time answering them and let me browse around without pestering me even though I only spent a few bucks. My only suggestion is to be careful with some of their autographed stuff, as I didn't see the accompanying certifications you'd expect nowadays (PSA/JSA/Beckett).”

“American Precious Metals is a great place. I have gone here since I was a teen. Every time I have pawned or sold or purchased, I learned something new. The Dad was awesome, and so is the son. It's part of San Jose American Precious Metals”
“Shoutouts and thanks to Rudy and Andrew for the top notch service for my trade-ins. The place was packed with great selections and a sweet arcade. The owner likes Japanese collectibles across the board and so if you’re into that kinda thing it’s a must-see. Great store and looking forward to doing business again soon.”
