“This place is awesome! They handle all my PSA needs no problem! (I do 300+card subs) and they have a great selection of Pokemon and Sports. I have a whatnot stream thats Successful and when I want to buy cards for myself I come here!!”
“Very nice place I’m so happy I went to visit. I’m a big Lego fan and it was a great experience with the staff and the legos there. Highly recommend if you’re a Lego fan !”
“What a great service from the first time I came there knowing nothing about sewing machines. Kim showed me all the different features, Lendel helped to choose the machine and taught me how to sew, Dave helped to fix my machine very fast when thread got caught inside. Other ladies are always very helpful, I wish I knew everyone’s name. Feeling very thankful to find this store.”
“Absolutely love Pot of Gold! Tom, the owner, is super nice and always so accommodating. The store has an amazing selection, tons of great stuff for collectors and fans alike. It’s my go-to spot for all things Pokémon, and I recently found my dream card here—Ancient Mew! Highly recommend stopping by if you’re into trading cards or just want a welcoming place to browse.”
“I saw Crush Comics on a YouTube news channel about the burglary, so glad you were able to track the lowlifes down and had them arrested, looks like they were America's Dumbest Criminals who thought no one would investigate and find them on ebay, pretty stupid.”
“Ray is a great guy! He helped me with what I needed for my baseball football and basketball card collection from my childhood. It’s refreshing to see that there are old school stores like this!! If you have needs for your collection, he has everything!”

“After my popcorn excursion I decided to stay out a bit and go to Michael's, enjoy the fresh air. I've been watching Bob Ross lately. I find him to be very calming. He's inspired me to tap into my artistic side. I did not purchase anything. I just perused the art section and beading section to get an idea of what I want to start with. Anytime I had a question there was a staff member nearby available to answer my question. Pricing varies by the level of quality you are seeking. Eager to get into my new hobby.”

“My wife and I went to the Pleasant Hill store today.The customer service was amazing.The employees had great suggestions and showed us samples and made recommendations.They custom cut exactly what we needed in just a few minutes.We highly recommend this store you won’t be disappointed!Special shout out to Betsy?”
“I came in having trouble finding a challenging item. I had been to several stores with no success. Upon entering Michael's, I was greeted by an associate. He then gave me details on some of the places I could look in the store for inspiration. After some browsing I asked another associate where to find a specific animal. I walked to the isle and grabbed the exact item I needed. Upon check out I asked for an associate instead of self check because that is what I prefer. The associate who checked me out was fast, friendly, and able to answer my questions about merchandise. I left feeling wonderful. I am a very happy customer who will gladly return again. The store was clean, organized, well stocked, and items were easy to find. This store is being managed very well!”
“I came in with my three little kids in need ofSoccer cleats. The lady and gentleman working at the store gave us all their attention until everyone was fitted with new cleats. I really appreciated the help, service and the patience of everyone at the store.”
“Good customer service, friendly staff, and informative responses to questions!
We came in looking for a less available board game and the employee there was able to help us find the specific one we were looking for.
When we called in later to buy some more card sleeves, they were also very helpful in making sure we got the correct sleeve sizes.
Fair pricing with other board game shops across the Bay Area too.”
“Great staff and well stocked Michael’s .. my go to when I lived in San Leandro the last visit here was back in 2018 ?.. I loved this store .. only con was the store was kept way too hot! .”
“So much to explore in this well stocked Michaels! I enjoyed browsing and found other things I didn't have on my list. Very clean and well organized facility. I would return!!!”
“Steve and his team at Games Unlimited are exceptional, creating a delightful shopping experience. I love taking my son there, as it far surpasses Games of Berkeley, for reasons I cannot mention publicly. The staff here is welcoming and attentive, ensuring a comfortable environment for my 3.5-year-old without any overwhelming surprises. Their helpfulness transforms toy shopping into a genuine pleasure.”
