“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! =]”

“I'm not sure if I can even call it a store but more of a warehouse that is open to customers. It was a bit difficult to find where the entrance was because there was no clear sign out front. Regardless, upon entering there was a small lobby with lower value items in front and a section of the warehouse in the back that you can peruse for a crap ton of gunpla, model kits, and scale figures. The only downside is, nothing is sorted in the back so you have to do a bit of thrift shopping. Still, the guy working the back was super helpful in helping me find stuff. If I'm ever back in Hayward, definitely coming back since everything is reasonably priced and they carry figures and model kits that are hard to find online.”

“I’ve had mostly positive experiences at this store and generally enjoy shopping here.

My only concern during a recent visit was an interaction with the ASM, Janipher. While shopping for fabric, I felt I was given a difficult time and was overcharged on yardage by rounding up to a higher price point when there were not full yards left on the bolt.

I understand that retail can be stressful and staff shortages happen—I’ve been there myself—but I don’t believe that should result in inaccurate charging. I regret not speaking up in the moment, but I hope this can be taken as a learning opportunity to ensure customers are charged appropriately, even during busy or stressful times.

Thankfully Ginger is an MVP and truly kindhearted. She among other team members make this store really pleasant to be at after a long day. She’s been informative, positive mindset, honest and easy to talk with, and getting my fabrics cut here makes my day!

I hope to have more positive interactions and fewer unfair transactions!”

“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!”

“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.”

“A treasure hunt in a shop. I stopped by last week on a road trip and picked up more toys to add to my collection. There's a ton of cool items to look at and booths to dig through. Come by and check it out.”

“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've been gaming at this store for about a decade. Good atmosphere, managers are knowledgeable and have great personalities. This is the place to learn how to build, paint, play Warhammer before branching out and playing with other communities.”

“Sheldon’s Hobbies is hands down one of the best hobby shops around. The staff is super knowledgeable and actually takes the time to help you find exactly what you need, whether you’re just getting started or deep into the RC world. Their selection is solid—cars, planes, boats, parts, and upgrades—and they always seem to have new inventory coming in.
What really stands out is the atmosphere. It’s not just a store, it feels like a community. The drift setup is awesome, and it’s a great place to hang out, learn, and meet other hobbyists. They’re always willing to answer questions, help troubleshoot, or point you in the right direction without making you feel rushed.
Fair prices, great service, and a fun environment—you can tell they actually care about the hobby and their customers. Definitely worth stopping by if you’re anywhere nearby.”

“The choose of sewing supplies was quite poor unfortunately, for instance, they don't carry ribbing (online only). One of the shop assistants was extremely rude - I regretted asking her something. Another girl came up to me and asked if I needed help looking for anything, and was really nice!”
