“Ever since they reopened, I find myself there more and more. The store is much cleaner, added a few modern touches- such as self-checkout, and now carry balloons that can be filled with helium onsite. I love having Michael’s so close to home.”
“Drove from Apple Valley and stumbled across this store by accident. I visited on Thursday, April 27 2023 well after 11am. The sign said closed and the store was dark inside. 4 stars for tardiness. Once I'm able to go inside to shop, I will update my rating.”
“I needed some jewelry appraised for an estate. Steven was fantastic. Appraised multiple pieces in a timely manner and provided in-depth explanations for his assessments. Will visit again for my appraisal needs.”
“Reopened after a fire. Spotlessly clean with nice staff. Couldn't believe my eyes when they had Halloween fully stocked in July, but my go to Michael's.”
“I’m writing this because somebody said the “old man will try to rip you off”. That is not true at all. Coast Philatelics is one of the few old-school stamp collector stores. It’s a family-run shop, and they’ve have been in business since the late 70s, I think. He sells everything cheap because the stamp collecting world has gone downhill. There just aren’t as many stamp collectors as there used to be. I love this place, it’s a little hole in the wall that’s floor to ceiling with stamps, accessories, unique pieces, and collectible paper. There used to be a lot of places like this back in the 80s, but this is one of the last. It’s worth your time to go in. (The shop is open limited hours, as the owner takes care of his health concerns.)”
“Stopped in to check out The Creative Play while visiting from out of town & super glad I did! Really enjoyed getting to talk with Lonnie about his shop & check out the collection. Even got lucky with the pack of cards I bought, pulled a hit from my favorite team! Overall 10/10 experience, can't wait to collaborate on a custom framed piece in the future.”
