Toy Stores in Monterey, CA

“Great selection of candies and Asian snacks. If you’re looking for a quick inexpensive gift for someone this is a great stop too. I recommended the Brown Sugar Bubble Milk Tea”

“Oh man I love this place. Reminds me of the comic book store on Cannery row way back in the day. All kinds of figures, huge selection of comics, books etc. Typical cover pricing, lots of new issues lots of variety. They real good about having all of the different figures in each line, not just one or two. Great way to kill like 3 hours.”

“They don't just sell gag gifts here, they have a number of fascinating items that allow you to actually do magic! I got a svengali card deck (one of the best trick decks), dice bomb, wonder bubbles (turning a bubble into a glass ball), and a couple other smaller magic tricks the shop owner threw in for free (ie. cutting a rope in half, then turning it back into one piece). I honestly thought this was basically a kids toy store, but I really enjoyed the experience without kids. It wasn't just shopping, it was a whole magic show too. And not just one where I got to see amazing tricks, but where I was also taught all the secrets! Yup, if you buy it, the owner (Will Roberts) will show you how it's done, and let you video record it too. The entire staff was super friendly and helpful during my time here this past weekend, and I can truly say I got way more than I expected from my visit. By the way, they do special events here as well, making it an even cooler venue, the oldest magic shop in California (and supposedly haunted too!?!)”
