“Absolutely amazing! Nate was very kind, attentive and helpful. He broke down to myself and kids on getting started and how we many ways we can go on about Pokemon trading cards. We will be returning here more often to get our trading cards. We appreciate you Nate!”
“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.”
“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 will come here from now until forever for all of my dance shoe needs. They were so helpful in choosing the correct fit for me, as I am not in close proximity to the store. Their shipping was very fast, and they even called me on the phone before shipment to make sure that I was ordering what would work best for me. (as this was my second order and the first one i didnt know what i was doing and totally guessed on sizing and fit). again, thank you so much for your help and knowledge! i can now dance confidently in my Flavias and Stephanies! looking forward to trying some more styles in the future.”

“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 !!”
“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.”
“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'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”
“I came back after 5ish years looking for a Warhammer 40k community.. The guys at the shop were very helpful and explained a lot of what they do and provide for players and hobbyist, and it is a safe clean place to enjoy our expensive hobby. I'm gonna change my review back to a 5 star for this reason.”
“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.”
“Came in to sell Yugioh cards. They were extremely friendly, helpful, and fair. They seemed pretty busy, but were able to get through everything in a reasonable amount of time! I called many other stores whose websites say they buy Yugioh cards, but they (rather rudely) told me they do not buy them any more, so I was very happy to find CardArt! Highly recommend.”
“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!”
“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”

“I was impressed with my visit here for custom plexiglass sheets! I showed up shortly before closing with a shelf that I wanted to recreate in acrylic. The staff measured precisely, gave me my quote, and to my pleasant surprise, cut my project immediately. I walked out 5 mins later with new shelves for my fridge. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely return if I have a similar project.”
“Checked out the shop for TCG product (MTG). Small supply but not crazy prices. Overall really good source for sleeves, toplpaders, binder pages etc, great pricing on those. Super friendly staff, was able to get guidance on what sleeves I should buy.”

“Vince was incredibly helpful! Took me in as a frantic walk in trying to get information on some jewelry to help lay my father to rest. 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!”
“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.”

“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!”

“Phenomenal little shop. The owner and employees were so kind and even shot the shit with me about Kamen Rider (Decade 21 complete is still hilarious!). His prices were very reasonable for the stock he had as well. Even had some Kamen Rider merchandise including a CSM Gaim belt. Absolutely will be coming back and you should go give these guys some love too!”

Stevens Creek were holding onto some stock for me after another store had phone around, and additionally were very friendly and made it a great experience for me. My son was ecstatic with the present so it was a fantastic outcome.”

“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.”
