“We’re leaving tomorrow, I wish I came here the first day we got here. Not only is their selection extensive and fairly priced but the people who work there are so helpful and nice - specifically David!!! He is so lovely. We brought a ball to him that we got on Venice Beach and needed it deflated to take home. He said no problem and he got the tool. When we checked out, Andrea was super friendly too.”

Products are easy to find and read. Prices are good for the products. You may find certain products here that you wont find at other stores.”

“Fun place to shop and take pictures but BE AWARE that there are absolutely no bathrooms here! We had to go the nearest Starbucks and the line for the bathroom had like 20 people. The public bathroom for J town requires a key but all the stores that we went to inside claimed to not have one. Other than that it's fun but just know there are no bathrooms besides that one Starbucks”

“Wonderful little shop for all your Christian needs. Abundant in Christmas decor, stocking fillers and cute gifts. I stumbled upon this place when visiting Malaga Cove mall and I was so impressed. Ample parking outside and wonderful owner. The only caution I would give is that the place is full to the brim with delicate decorations so be very careful when moving around, particularly if the shop is full. You can easily knock over and even break some of them. Don’t be that person!”

“I was impressed by the sales persons friendly and helpful service. I was told about free and discounted items. They had sold out of Kwazaa videos, but I was still happy with my experience.”
“The moment you walk into this place, you will feel like a little kid walking in and buying a pack of baseball cards or other sports cards. They have a huge variety of all kinds of sports cards and trading cards. I was very impressed by the layout and the amount of selection they offer. The prices are very reasonable and offers deals whether you pay in cash or credit card. They accept venmo, zelle and others.
This is one of the best hobby card stores I have gone in and its rare to find these type of stores in various states. I highly recommend hitting this place up. By the way, they do offer trades night along with vendors night in their facility. This is a one of a kind type of store that offers that capability.”
