“Absolutely amazing! Nate was very kind, attentive and helpful. He broke down to myself and kids on getting started and how we many ways we can go on about Pokemon trading cards. We will be returning here more often to get our trading cards. We appreciate you Nate!”
“I had a bad experience last year, but it was also an overreaction on my part. Best card shop in the entire Bay Area. Their pre order discounts are pretty awesome and they have PSA drop off events. Ty Mojo!”
“All staff are very friendly and helpful, they have a great variety of card games and other products available that you don't see everywhere else. The tcg community there is very fun to be around and are always helpful with any questions one might have. The atmosphere is very chill and inviting and is a great place to hang out and meet new people. I personally play one piece at their locals and have met a lot of great people who have become friends. Would recommend this local shop to any who are around the Bay Area.”
“I needed a cushion for my new recumbent bike seat. Bob's had exactly the kind of foam I needed and the immediately cut it to the exact pattern I provided. I could never have done the cut as cleanly or quickly. Special thank you to Juan for great customer service!”
“Small arts and crafts store in Japan Town. Limited off street parking in front of the store. I was able to find a push pin and a ikebana container. Store keeper was very friendly and helped me locate the items. They sell other items such as bowls, tea sets, chopsticks. Would definitely return to this store.”
“The wife and I took the time to travel most of California to see the RC tracks up and down the state after Christmas. This facility and staff are a great stop for anyone with interest in the sport of rc. They'll take the time to teach you all the moving pieces of the car so you can set it up for your driving style. We really liked their rookie Tuesday educational course, it's a great way to familiarize yourself with rc equipment and put yourself in a situation similar to a real race without the pressure. We had a great time and would definitely stop back if we were in the area. Highly recommend anyone stop by and learn a thing or two. The staff are super friendly and helpful.”
“I came back after 5ish years looking for a Warhammer 40k community.. The guys at the shop were very helpful and explained a lot of what they do and provide for players and hobbyist, and it is a safe clean place to enjoy our expensive hobby. I'm gonna change my review back to a 5 star for this reason.”
“Came in to sell Yugioh cards. They were extremely friendly, helpful, and fair. They seemed pretty busy, but were able to get through everything in a reasonable amount of time! I called many other stores whose websites say they buy Yugioh cards, but they (rather rudely) told me they do not buy them any more, so I was very happy to find CardArt! Highly recommend.”
“There is a lot here for every hobby! From warhammer, to paints, to card games (i.e. magic, lorcana, ect) to board games, and dnd and other figures. Very nice atmosphere and welcoming vibe. The workers and store manager are very knowledgeable about anything you ask from them, so wonderful for new hobbyists!”
“This review is specifically for their custom framing department.
My husband and I got married in New Orleans and purchased a print by a local artist during our wedding weekend. I finally got around to framing it and went to the Michaels location off Coleman. I was thinking that I could get a frame off their shelves, but I quickly realized that the poster had uncommon dimensions. I had no choice but to get a custom frame for it.
I was assisted by a young gentleman, who was very friendly and helpful. I'm the worst when it comes to making decisions. I have to analyze every little thing, and then I get stuck in analysis paralysis. The associate was so patient with me, and he didn't rush me through the process. I also feel like he didn't limit me on variations of frame colors and matboard. He brought out everything to ensure that I had considered all my options. I relied heavily on his guidance and settled on an elegant thin silver frame with a blue mat.
I called Michael's a week after the expected due date and was informed that it would be ready the following day. I was glad to see that the gentleman who helped me with my custom frame was the same person checking out my product. He carefully laid the framed print out, and I was stunned by how amazingly cohesive the frame and matting looked with the overall print. It was honestly perfect.
This was my first custom frame job EVER - not just from Michael's. I was so pleased with their customer care and execution that I would not hesitate to go to Michaels Coleman custom framers!”
“The framing Manager does AMAZING work. She usually has a wait of 2-3days because she does such great work! Ask for Meg! She's the only one I trust with my art.”

“I would recommend TAP Plastics to everyone! David, Mike, and team were so very polite, helpful, and extremely skilled in helping us to get our Indian Idol of Lord Ganesh mounted onto a new base, and framed with a transparent structure.
They spent a lot of time perfectly taking measurements, taking the idol off of its original mounting which was very very hard to do, then mounting the idol onto a new plastic white platform made by TAP Plastics, and then encasing it with a clear plastic cube (also made by TAP Plastics). They presented the idol with a very modern and clean look - which is what we wanted - simple and elegant. Everyone tells us, the idol looks better than the original encasing it came in. Very grateful to the team - thank you so much!
Will be coming to you with more projects for sure! The shop has a lot of cool and colorful items on display - making you want to visit it again and again!”

“I was impressed with my visit here for custom plexiglass sheets! I showed up shortly before closing with a shelf that I wanted to recreate in acrylic. The staff measured precisely, gave me my quote, and to my pleasant surprise, cut my project immediately. I walked out 5 mins later with new shelves for my fridge. The price was very reasonable and I would definitely return if I have a similar project.”
“Super glad to say that Kandy is my go to spot for all my kpop necessities and cute things. The staff here is great and super friendly! Accidentally came here when they were closed (sorry!), but a staff member let my friends and I in anyway. :) Kandy recently opened up more space and I’m eager to see how much they grow with all their new events and more!”

“Checked out the shop for TCG product (MTG). Small supply but not crazy prices. Overall really good source for sleeves, toplpaders, binder pages etc, great pricing on those. Super friendly staff, was able to get guidance on what sleeves I should buy.”
“My wife and I came into this store on Sept 7 to browse and found many things we loved. We left with some Disney clothes, pins, and stickers which were reasonably priced. Great service, selection, and value here!
Also, there are often sales and coupons that you can leverage for a better deal. Their clearance section also usually has some good deals/finds too.
We also wanted to recognize Lillie for her awesome and helpful service. She kindly and patiently helped clear up the confusion we had about stacking codes/coupons and enabled us to get a great deal on the items we purchased. Thank you, Lillie! 10's across the board! =]”

“Vince was incredibly helpful! Took me in as a frantic walk in trying to get information on some jewelry to help lay my father to rest. He was extremely knowledgeable and had all the tools needed to test each piece of jewelry I had. He went out of his way to help me and gave me his honest opinion. Thank you!”
“This is a huge Michaels and it's fully stocked too. I went in here to look for a tape measure and was surprised to see how big this Michaels is. Everything is also neatly stocked and there's a cart when you need it Service was ok. They have someone near check out to see if you want to self pay or wait for a cashier. It's faster to diy check out. I would definitely come back to this Michaels!”

“Phenomenal little shop. The owner and employees were so kind and even shot the shit with me about Kamen Rider (Decade 21 complete is still hilarious!). His prices were very reasonable for the stock he had as well. Even had some Kamen Rider merchandise including a CSM Gaim belt. Absolutely will be coming back and you should go give these guys some love too!”
“Small craft materials and tools right where you needed it, immediate and easy access. THE Most friendly staff in the area! Always friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful staff with lots of smiles!”
“I was getting last minute balloons and one of the workers was just SO KIND. I wish I remembered her name but she was working the balloon station and it was Valentine's Day. I had figured I'd get some at Dollar tree but didn't realize it was Valentine's since I was focused on the birthday party and they were out. Google sent me to Michael's and she was so kind and accommodating! Even let me leave the balloons with her as my son desperately needed the bathroom and they told me where it was. Bathroom was decent.
I'm definitely going to just pre-order balloons from there going forward given that it's reliable and they were so good to us! I know my emergency isn't their problem, but they still helped me get to the party with the balloons basically on time!”
“It was a frame job!
Really, I was there to get something framed. Katie did a great job of helping me and explaining the options. She's clearly experienced and knowledgeable.”

“I was looking for NFL cards on my son's behalf while travelling, so I was absolutely delighted with the outcome from visiting back in August. Stevens Creek were holding onto some stock for me after another store had phone around, and additionally were very friendly and made it a great experience for me. My son was ecstatic with the present so it was a fantastic outcome.”
“Nice shop for those who are looking for HO or N guage models. There is a very very limited selection for O guage. Staff was nice. They have a very large selection of scenery materials like ballast.”

“American Precious Metals is a great place. I have gone here since I was a teen. Every time I have pawned or sold or purchased, I learned something new. The Dad was awesome, and so is the son. It's part of San Jose American Precious Metals”
“The best coin shop around. Tons of quality coins. Excellent selection. The guy who runs the place is super knowledgeable and helpful. If you don't see what you're looking for ask because they may have it, it might just be out of sight. Good fair prices.”
“My first time at Vic's coin shop it was kind of weird they had no inventory. The gentleman was professional I didn't get a name. I was disappointed nothing on display. This the first coin shop I ever visited I buy on line and decided what the heck I'll go check to see what's in stock. I'm giving a four star because the guy was respectful.”
“Some Michaels craft stores are kind of a depressing wasteland that look like they were abandoned years ago, but this location is quite nice. Shelves are well stocked, the store is clean, and the selection is impressive. It is still kinda impossible to find an employee if you have a question, though.
I was in to grab some fake flowers for a bouquet, and they had everything I could have wanted.”
