“I want to thank Brian so much for his help yesterday. He took a lot of time with me to help me pick out a brake cue. He custom weighted it for me. This is my third visit to his store and his knowledge has guided me through multiple purchases. I'll be a customer for Life!”
“Store could be a little nicer inside but has actually pretty fair prices, especially for the figurines. They're roughly the same as what you can get online, and if you factor in shipping, they're often a bit cheaper. Nice place for any hobbyists :)”
“First time at Geppetto's toy store in La Jolla. What a find on Yelp! We stopped in to get gifts for the grandkids but I found quite a few things that I wanted. Geppetto's had games, toys, fidgets, gadgets, plushies, dolls, and everything else that a little toy maker could imagine. We bought a travel game for the grandkids called Guess Who. We also got some stocking stuffers for future use. Really had a good time perusing all of the toys.”
“Hands down, the best shop I have been to anywhere. Whether your visit is to buy, sell, or trade in all manners, they are tremendously fair! Super friendly and always a great inventory to choose from. Don't hesitate to give them a visit!”
“I always want to buy everything in the store. If you're bored, just go to Michael's. Want your kids to stop whining about screen time, just go to Michael's. Want to give your mom a gift that isn't quite perfect, but will give her a big smile, go to Michael's”
“Had some errors happen with online orders and when I went to pick up in-store, Nick went above and beyond to help resolve this issue quickly and efficiently while having a friendly open nature. He created a simple solution that was beneficial to both Micheals and myself. This great customer service made my experience more likely to shop at Michaels, thank you Nick!”
“Went here today asked the people about RC cars as I have one ordered they told me everything I needed to know. I was also able to rent a RC car for $25 Had a blast learning To hold a drive everyone there is helpful and friendly.”

“Barry was extremely responsive and empathetic to a miscommunication, helped me fix it, and has likely the most impressive and diverse inventory in existence. His pricing is also reasonable. He is prompt, kind, and extremely shrewd on historical details, market characteristics, and in dealing with both objects and people. Buying or selling, this is the place.”

“It was an absolute pleasure doing business with Sunward Flag Company. First impression was wonderful, beginning with Hazel and followed by John. John and his capable assistant repaired the flagpole at the Veterans Association of North County. Their attention to detail every step of the way was truly outstanding. We are so thankful to Sunward Flag Company and highly recommend them.”
“Lori at the framing department was extremely helpful and friendly. She made my christmas gift look beautiful and was able to complete a rush order. Thank you so much Lori and Michael’s! You rock!”
“I'm giving this location 5 stars because what the employees have to put up with, I truly don't understand majority of the people that come in here acting like it's some sort of thrift store trying to make a deal in a RETAIL store it's absolutely ridiculous!! The fact I've seen grown adults throw temper tantrums cause they want something honored blows my mind and makes me think that the people here haven't been to a store before or have done there own shopping. I truly can't express how such a nice neighborhood being filled with some of cheapest people I have ever seen in my life disgusts me. I'm sorry for the employees who look like they are mostly high schoolers getting yelled at by adults who should know better, way to set a example Encinitas, I've seen a grown man yell at a worker there for paint for rocks! Every time I go there someone is always trying to get prices lowered and the poor cashiers and supervisors can't tell these overgrown spoiled brats no. The workers are fine but the customers here can truly be disgusting and spoiled babies”

“These guys are incredible! I went in for a Radio Controller for RC/Drones and they had a great selection. The staff was so friendly and passionate about these hobbies. I'll definitely take buying from them over online any day!
Plus, their prices are solid!
Thanks a ton! Already having a ton of fun with a simulator :). Can't wait to come back and get what I need to keep expanding my hobbies.”
“Buzz was very helpful, patient, and knowledgeable. I'm new to collecting and he actually had something for me that was perfect! Highly recommend this business. Got some rare coins. Love them.”

“I was introduced to this store by some friends and wow, I am impressed. They've got tabletop games and dice, they've got miniature combat game stuff, They've got a glorious collection of board and card games.... there is even a pre-owned game section with some pretty great options if new games are out of your budget.
There are also tables for playing your own games or one you borrow there. No one made us feel even slightly unwelcome for playing several hours worth of games.
It's clean to include the bathroom and the music is great but not too loud. The staff know their stuff- I had a few questions about stock and they could answer without looking for most of it.
10/10, this should be your local store.”

“There are not many independent toy stores left but Geppetto’s really throws back to the bygone era of my childhood. Great selection of really neat toys. They have everything from big brands like Lego and Mattel products, to more unique and mindful and specialized toys that help develop the mind. Very spendy. Nice people!”

“I'm not the gamer that frequents this type of store...
But. I'm a hobbyist, and I work downstairs...
Glad they're here. I use the paints that they carry and now I can simply grab what I need after work any given day.”
“I’ve visited a few gold shops in the area, but First Bullion stands out for their transparency and professionalism. The staff took the time to explain the current market premiums and helped me verify the purity of my purchase on the spot. No high-pressure sales tactics—just fair pricing and honest service. If you're looking to diversify your portfolio with physical gold or silver, this is the place to go”
