“I called this store looking for the Graduation Jelly Cat and Victoria was so incredibly helpful. She didn't have it in stock, but she went out of her way to check the other store and when they didn't have it, she kindly gave me a list of other stores that sell Jelly Cats. Low and behold, the first one on the list had it so my search was over! Thank you for making my friend super happy (She wanted to buy it for a friend's daughter, but it was out of stock just overnight). Thank you again Victoria!! Hope you have a lovely day!”
“We explored several options and even tried placing an order through another Cheeky Monkey store to arrange a birthday gift for my friend’s brother and his wife, but nothing worked—until we contacted this store and spoke with Andrew League.
Andrew was truly incredible—a real legend. He went above and beyond to ensure the birthday presents were delivered on time. Not only did he personally deliver them, but he also included a thoughtful message with each gift.
When no one else could make it happen, Andrew found a way. He was exceptionally resourceful and showed genuine care for his customers. We are extremely grateful for his help and sincerely hope his company recognises and values his outstanding dedication.”
“88 Cardhouse is one of the best card shops in tbe Bay Area. They have ample gaming space, run frequent deals on pre-orders, and carry international products, too.”
“Incredible consignment store for kids - I get aaaaall my kids’ clothes there and toys too. Everything is great quality and great value. I’ve also sold a bunch of stuff and got store credit. Brilliant initiative.”
“Stumbled upon this local bookstore when we were in the area. It was a small but cute bookstore with lots of books and toys for kids. Found many interesting items here.”
“Tons of books and other things to browse and buy. The staff are friendly and the store is we'll kept. There's plenty of parking, and you can find all the new releases you've been looking for, as well as books that you've never heard of but are sure to grab your attention.”
“Darling, I sashayed into Illusive Comics and Games expecting the usual dusty comic cave, but WHAT A DELIGHTFUL SURPRISE! This place is serving LOOKS and BOOKS, mama! The stock? *Chef’s kiss* absolutely divine. Comics, games, accessories they’ve got it ALL, and I mean ALL. From superhero fantasies to tabletop realness, this store is giving me LIFE!
And can we talk about their COVID consideration? Optional masks, required masks in certain areas now THAT’S what I call caring for your community! As someone who knows the importance of taking care of each other, this gesture had me feeling all warm and fuzzy inside my sequined heart.
The staff? *Snaps fingers* PERFECTION! They were there when I needed them answering my questions about which dice would match my outfit (priorities, darling!) but they also knew when to let a queen browse in peace. That’s customer service excellence, and I am HERE for it!
Whether you’re a comics connoisseur or a gaming goddess, Illusive Comics and Games is serving you a full fantasy buffet. Five wigs out of five! ?✨”
“Great local shop with amazing organization! Even the back stock items are curated and organized. Lots of current titles from DC, Marvel, and Indy publishers.
Prices are on par with most local shops. Lots and lots to see.”

“This a temple to cheap party stuff. Awesome variety of stuff for all kinds of party needs - I was impressed to see a full blown Halloween costume store in January.
Attentive staff helps you find your way through the pile and surely enough you will find what you need. Only that it takes a while.”
“Our water in Santa Clara contains substantial ground water which frequently doesn't taste that great so we've been buying five gallon bottles of drinking water for nearly thirty years. I discovered Jenny's recently and couldn't be happier, you buy a twenty five dollar card and it costs 25 cents per gallon, better than most dispensary machines. I wish I knew about the store when we hosted birthday parties for our children it's filled with all sorts of five and dime items and lots of things young children might want. Certainly worth taking a quick look, wish I had done it sooner.”
“ive been going to linden tree since it opened (when i was a child!) and im still always awed by the kind and thoughtful touches around the store. for instance they have the most child friendly restroom i’ve ever been in. we are lucky to have you in los altos!”
