“This store looks to be a place where many individual sellers showcase their toys, and the store charges the sellers rent. A huge selection. You'll likely find what you are looking for here. :)”
“Great experience! Tony was super friendly and has such a great variety of collectibles and toys of the kiddos. Went in for needohs and left with so much more. Thank you!”
“As the author of The Grant Colson Thriller Series and SERA Archives Thriller Series, I always enjoy visiting standout bookstores while traveling, and Barnes & Noble in Manhattan Beach is a super nice location.
The store has a broad, open layout with lower shelving that lets you see across the space, giving it a welcoming and easy-to-navigate feel.
There’s a huge children’s area along with a very nice café space. One detail that stands out is the wraparound mural featuring well-known authors, which adds character and makes the interior feel more engaging.
The overall setup is clean and thoughtfully designed, making it a comfortable place to browse and spend time.
I also spent a few minutes in the romance section while writing The Maui Desire Romance Series, and it’s a well-organized area that fits nicely alongside the thriller shelves.
The staff has been friendly and helpful, and the surrounding shopping center is very well kept with plenty of parking, which makes visiting easy.
Overall, it’s a strong Barnes & Noble in Manhattan Beach with a great layout, inviting atmosphere, and a solid selection.”
“Excellent customer service happy with my purchase of my first 64 Impala RC model gentleman at the store really helped me on setting up my car. And as well showing me accessories, they will make my car look great. Glad to find a store close by home to start this new hobby of mine.”
“Walked into Huzzah on an impulse while walking by and was really impressed by the wide selection they carried. The staff was so kind, I grabbed a Jellycat plush and will definitely be back again!”
“Wowww! What an amazing place! I stopped in on my vacation and had the pleasure to meet Mark! So nice and helpful and knowledgeable! Felt like seeing an old friend again. He helped me to buy a Scalextric BMW 330I and I even got to run a car on one of their beautiful scenic 1/32 scale tracks! Lots of fun! I highly recommend this store because they are HUGE and have every conceivable car and accessory you can think of!”
“I've been coming here for almost a year now and I can proudly say that this shop is the definitive place for beginners to start their comic book journey. This store was my introduction to comic books and the owners there could not be any more kinder. Entering a new space can be scary but they make it so user friendly. For any newcomers I would suggest avoiding Wednesdays as that is their busiest day of the week with new comic book releases. So only go if your looking for the newest releases. Any other day is perfect for a relaxing browse or yearning questions to ask. One of my favorite local business in the city.”
“The guys here are great! Very helpful and not rude when you ask lots of questions like most hobby shops. Thank you for helping me out and having too much stuff I need when I stop in! LOL”
“This store and its owner are amazing! The products are high quality, the prices are fantastic, and the shopping experience is very enjoyable. Even my baby loved exploring and playing while we were there.
I'm so grateful to have found a place where I can get great products for my child without stretching my budget. Thank you for making quality items accessible to families!”

If you're a LEGO fan looking for exceptional service and a welcoming environment, look no further than BAM Lomita.”
“This shop is definitely packed full of items, but in practice this means that they likely have what you want in stock! I found that they had several options for all the items I was looking for. I came away with everything I was looking for and more. Notably, they carry packs of disposable diapers at cheap prices, plus cloth diapers! I’ll definitely come back to purchase toys for my child or for gifts, as they carry a WIDE selection.”
“First off, Oscar is incredible! I went this past Sunday and this was my first experience at a Warhammer store. Man, was it fantastic! I’m VERY new to Warhammer, but I have been into the lore and watching games for a little over a year. I paint minis from hobby boardgames and have been wanting to get into 40k for a while. Not only to paint, but to learn to play the game
Long story short, i bought my first combat patrol (Dark Angles), and I cannot be happier. I was nervous to go in, but was welcomed and made to feel very comfortable. I cannot wait to get further into 40k! Cannot wait to return to this store.
If you are thinking about getting i to Warhammer, go here!”
“I went to top canvas on a Wednesday not expecting to find any Sonny angels because they’re so hard to find nowadays. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by an associate named Angel and he was super helpful! The moment he knew I was looking for Sonny angels, he showed me everything they had! I ended up taking two Sonny angels and a collectors Sonny Angel which was cool! He was super dope and just made the whole Sonny Angel experience better! Customer service was 10/10 and I’ll be back for more Sonny angels lol :))”
“Nice shop it has more then we expected very friendly workers very recommended. Kar help us out with everything we needed and explain to us everything we needed to know about every product.”

“I had a great experience at Children’s Orchard. The clothes I gave up were in perfect status and even though i did not get what I was expecting in return I did get a fair price for most of my items.
I traded a big bag of clothes worth $70-$80 to get a shoulder mount and a bilingual toy. Toys were cheap too and in good shape! I will definitely come back.”
“Very cool spot! They no longer have the play room to test out the cars and trucks. However still such an amazing selection to choose from. My son was mesmerized!”
“First time here. This was a very cute store. My favorite was their variety of wrapping papers. They also had a great selection of greeting cards. Would definitely come back to this store.”
“Great experience and awesome inventory. They have a solid collection of Japanese IPs. The prices are fair! Please take your time looking they have so much to offer.”
“Thank you to Dean, he made my first time at Build-A-Bear such a memorable experience that I will always remember. His enthusiasm for what he does is absolutely contagious! I could not have asked for anything else because he completely took care of me. He was patient, knowledgeable, and overall what made me a definite return customer! Thank you so much Dean for everything!”
“I love this store! Their clothes are organic and made in Los Angeles! Super cute and comfy kid's and women's clothing, toys and home/kitchen stuff etc. I highly recommend if you are into the natural/sustainable living or looking for adorable baby gifts!”
“Located Peninsula Shopping Center, Five Below is a specialty discount gift shop chain that prices most of its products between $1.00 - $5.00, with some exceptional finds $5+.
My son goes to Cantonese school across the street, & one of the moms mentioned there's a cute graphic tee that's perfect for our growing Chinese momentum: You're All That & Dim Sum! The tees section was quite large with lots to choose from. I got the dim sum tee for my 8 YO son, & also saw another tee (born to game forced to work... LMAO) that perfectly describes his latest transgression from studying, though there's not much to study or homework for that matter in elementary school.
There's also toys & games, beauty products, candies & snacks, books, etc. They're similar to other discount stores like Dollar Tree & Daiso, but on the higher price tier with more variety & trend-focused products for the younger set.
Customer service is efficient & friendly. I only waited a few minutes with a handful of people ahead of me. Parking is plentiful in the shopping center based on its location & doesn't compete much for spaces with the anchor stores or restaurants.
Five Below is a great alternative for the bargain shopper! And now that the holidays are here... check 'em out for gift giving ideas.”
“I've been coming here since I was a teenager. Now I bring my son and nephews 💙
The man at the counter is always so kind and patient. This store always has awesome toys. 🤗”

“Sam and the team were super efficient from start to finish, when we needed assistance with clients requiring car seats while visiting California from overseas. She even met them at their hotel to ensure everything was fitted correctly. Cannot speak highly enough of Sam and Cara Bambino.”
“I prefer this location over Hawthorne. They are very friendly and accommodating even for returns. Jay was the last person who I had the pleasure of assisting me. She goes above & beyond to be helpful & friendly.”
