“Fantastic customer service. Ashley went above and beyond to answer our stroller questions during a busy weekend. I didn't realize you can schedule a stroller consultation and I will definitely be back to do so. Ashley was knowledgeable, helpful and I knew she'd help me make the right choice for our family's needs. Can't wait to go back.”
“If buying a present for someone, be sure not to skip the complimentary gift wrapping. They're so speedy and do an amazing job -- they'll even use rubber stamps to fill out a cute little gift tag for you!”

“The nicest man in the world owns this store.
We were visiting from South Carolina and this wonderful man gifted my wife some children's books for her elementary school students when he found out she was an educator. His wife is a talented author and her books are amazing.
The store had so many cool items and trinkets that were fairly priced. If there is anything you need from your visit to Sausalito this is a must stop.”
“100% recommend visiting if you are looking into car seats and strollers.
Daisy is an expert at car seats and was able to explain the characteristics of each one and the differences between them to a pair of first-time expectant parents that were still dizzy from looking at all the choices online. Daisy also had fabric swatches for color/material options and helped us do a test fitting of the floor model into our car before making our choice.
Mika helped us with strollers and definitely helped us avoid making a wrong pick. She started out by asking a set of questions to figure out what style of stroller worked best for our lifestyle (totally different to what we thought we wanted when walking in) and then had us test out strollers in their demo area until we found one that made sense to us.
Pro-tip: They will do private appointments outside of store hours so call beforehand if you'd like dedicated help. We walked in on a Saturday afternoon and they were able to help us while juggling other customers but your mileage may vary.”
“I pick up a new kit every time I walk in here! Always something new, his stock is always rotating. I don't think I've seen the same kit on his shelves twice. Everything from entry grade to perfect grade unleashed, and reasonable prices (especially with the additional 25% off). Not just Gunpla, but also kits from Evangelion, One Piece, DBZ, Star Wars, and others. Keep in mind, it is primarily a Gunpla store if you're looking for anything else. The staff also has given me great advice on my builds, as well!”

“Ace hardware is my go to hardware store before Home Depot and Lowe's for certain items but for bigger jobs like sheet rock or lumber building materials I'll go to Home Depot but some of the bigger Ace Hardware stores carry everything I would need. I would recommend Ace hardware.”
“Amazing selection and very friendly and helpful staff! They constantly restock and have a wide selection of items, including books, clothes, costumes, shoes, toys etc.”
“A wonderful little shop filled with treasures. Clothes, jewelry, scarves, toys, books, knick knacks, buttons, beads, aliens ... there is something in every nook and cranny, all in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. ?”

“A kids game store in Sausalito. Very much aimed at the preteen and younger crowd. However, they do carry the Klutz Rocks and Minerals Kit that I have not seen before. They unexpectedly have a small assortment of about 20 bins of loose rocks/crystals/stones for kids and adults. They are right across the street from a crystal shop.”

“The Katachi, store is like being in Japan shopping; it really gives you that kind of feeling, the service by the two kind and professional guys who helped me; Hendson Hwang and Sean Campos, they were not only nice but very knowledgeable, so next time when you are in San Francisco go to Japan Town and stop by Katachi, the store is awesome.”

“A very small store for the serious anime- Japanese manga type figurines/ models and other collectables and some lower cost stuff for kids/ collectors on a budget.It's one of the few I know in the general bayarea that specializes in the trade and one the few that offer some of the original Japanese heroes collectable stuffing around SF”

“This store is spectacular with so many wonderful, loving and ambience feelings shopping in here. I am an adult without children but I love the little one in me. Thank you so much for sparkles.”
“I had never went to Build A Bear before and I just so happened to be in San Francisco during the FIFA event. I strolled into Build A Bear despite seeing the poor reviews before I entered and I had low hopes. However, when I walked in, we were greeted by the lovely employees at the front. They guided us on how to build the bears! I wanted to appreciate Eziyah and Kimmy for their work on my grandchildren’s bears and making them feel special! After the amazing experience Build A Bear gave us, my family and I walked out satisfied and happy! Even with the reviews about the employees, it was hard for me to believe them after my experience! Thank you so much!”

“Revolution 9 is such a cute shop! I stopped by yesterday for the first time in about ten years. It was nice to see how very little had changed in all the ways that matter. Going down the list: Attentive customer service? Check. Excellent selection of fun, nerdy, and political gifts? Check, check, and check! If you have Star Wars, Tolkien, Harry Potter, or Studio Ghibli fans in your life, Revolution 9 is a great place to shop for gifts. I got my fiancé a funny "Greetings from Tatooine" postcard and found a My Neighbor Totoro insulated lunch bag for myself. I love the friendly and welcoming vibes here and will be sure to wait less than ten years for my next visit.”
“I bought 2 fabulous outfits for my grandson & granddaughter today. I thought the store had a nice selection of high-quality items, and found the staff was helpful without hovering, allowing us to wander. We will be back.”
“Nice little arcade and toy shop (some action figures, Trading cards) Many rhythm arcade games but also saw some fighting arcade games like Tekken and Marvel vs Capcom 2. Again, small place, limited games but good for quick Arcade play time.”
“I love every single item in this store! The owner has terrific, eclectic tastes, so you never know what you'll find here. Wonderful selection of vintage and classically designed toys, collectibles, and antiques. Easily my favorite store in the Bay Area, and a top 10 nationally.”
“they have really nice stuff and you can see it’s very high end materials and finish. We bought two special edition rabbit dolls to put on our travel bag and pulled out a mystery limited edition black bunny!! They also have so many original labubu so if you have a Time Machine to a year ago you’d be a trillionaire😂”
“Hidden gem for board gamers. They have a great stash of well selected board games. Yes it’s basically piled high with stuff and it’s not the most comfortable shopping experience but that’s part of the charm.”
“Best educational toy store I've encountered in the SF Bay Area. From Five Little Monkeys in Burlingame to various Barnes & Nobles' toy sections, I find most stores have the same products I already know of from Amazon.This store had Melissa & Doug educational learning mats, Bruder Caterpillar branded construction vehicles, die cast cars - and gift wrapping for everything.Additionally, the store was an experience for kids - Haba train sets, Calico Critters homes, this was better than Disneyland for many toddler aged kids.I should've taken more pics of this place - mine don't do it justice for the expansive, modern, clean layout.”

“Ok, so I really only got to spend 20 mins in this place, but boy howdy, don't take your teenage daughters! There is SOOOOOOO much stuff that they would go crazy for! They have really funny tee-shirts that are only 5.55! Man, I'm for sure going back, but I'm bringing my girls with me!!!”

“A wide variety of toys, clothes, and stuffed animals. Love fiddlesticks! Recently had a great experience where two ladies by the names of Naya and Samantha helped me pick out a gift for my niece.”
“Adorable quaint shop in the haight district STACKED with blind boxes of Sonny angels, smiskis and etc!! It feels a bit unreal stepping in here, whole interior filled with mini boxes. The interior is very bright, with white walls and light/pastel colors everywhere, feels like being flashed in the eyes. The interior is quite tiny, and the staff are friendly and helpful. It is cheaper than most other retailers!! The smiski hipper I got was 15.50, wbile most other places sell it for 20+, and it's legit! Edit: I also bought some smiski straps ($10) and some regular series, about 13.5-14.5. I would DEFINITELY check this place out for authentic figurines!”
“Perfect little toy store in the mall that has something for kids most ages. They have a decent selection of board games as well if you're looking for something for an older kid (or kid at heart). If they don't have something in stock just ask and usually they are either able to put you on a list to be notified when it arrives. Staff is very helpful every time we have gone in there looking for something specific.”
“I actually really like this shop in Japan Town. They actually have some of the best blind boxes for toys that I've ever seen. They story is on the larger side which is great, but it can get busy on a weekend so get ready to play bumper shoulders with a bunch of random folks. Still staff is pretty friendly. If you like Japanese cute toys, then this is one of the better spots outside of Japan.”
“Great selection of jewelry, I think the prices are fair and added up correctly on the receipt. Bracelets had prices on them while ringsI didn't see tags on. I asked about some bracelets and they said they were made of rhodium which is great since they won't tarnish but arent expensive. The ladies did watch and take everything I was interested in and moved it to the counter, but it was no problem. Overall found some very cute pieces including some in similar styles to designer.”

“Tantrum sits inside the Mill Valley Lumber Yard like a secret passage between a Scandinavian design catalogue and a child’s imagination.
There are hand-wrapped gifts, odd little European treasures, mid-century colours, and enough beautifully designed nonsense to make sensible adults suddenly develop strong opinions about wooden mushrooms.
What Tantrum understands perfectly is modern Mill Valley: parents want charm, children want fun, and everyone secretly wants a toy store that looks like a Wes Anderson frame with excellent lighting and ethically sourced finger puppets.
Also appreciated: the family-business honesty of admitting they once hung the sign backwards. In a town where many shops feel carefully curated into calm neutrality, Tantrum still allows itself personality. Bright, slightly chaotic, cotton-candy-fuelled personality.
You walk in for a birthday card and leave holding imported stickers, a tiny French rabbit, three things made of felt for reasons nobody can fully explain, and mild financial regret. Which, to be fair, is usually the sign of an excellent toy store.”
