“Buttercup is such a cute baby store in Pasadena! Annie is super helpful and knowledgeable regarding all things baby, but especially when it came to stroller & car seats. We were able to test out the stroller and car seat in store and ended up purchasing the nuna stroller and car seat and are so excited to use it for our baby to be. Definitely recommend coming to buttercup!”
“I am thrilled to find this gem of a toy store in Pasadena. It is the best I've seen in terms of the quality and variety of toys. Whether you are looking for books, toys for pretending, well-made dolls and stuffed toys, or LA Dodger pacifiers, they've got it. The proprietor was helpful and friendly. And they do validate parking now.”
“My wife have been coming and shopping at Lakeshore Learning Store for many years for her school. She enjoy getting learning martial and other items for classes and the school.”
“This store is magical! I brought my daughter here a few years ago and she never forgot it despite not being back since. She specifically asked to return to this store to get her a celebratory gift. Even though we had not been back for a while, the store was still has magical, if not more! There are things for all ages! We especially liked the calico critters and Miffy merch. The owner, Millie, was extremely kind and patient — despite us being mesmerized for so long that it was closing time. I also saw that they offer gift wrapping services and that is lovely in itself (not just throw it in a bag with tissue paper, it’s the real deal)! Wonderful store, we look forward to returning soon! The Burlington Arcade (the area the store is located in) is also very picturesque and special.”
“Out of towner who visited for an event. The store has two very different halves. First, the game space was more spacious than normal but had the normal game store "things stacked everywhere" vibe that you either love or hate. The second half was the store portion, which had an above average selection without having too much. Ever walk into a game store with so many games you just don't know if any of them are any good? Not that here. The selection is that appropriate balance of curated and broad. Appreciate the stores willingness to host events and keep the hobbies alive, and for that alone I'd never give less than 5 stars.”
“came here for a box of pokemon cards and ended up staying way longer then i planned just looking around. the guy at the counter was super nice and helped me find exactly what i was looking for, even showed me some stuff i didnt know they had. prices seemed fair for a small local shop, nothing crazy overpriced. wish they had a bit more seating near the back though, my legs got tired after a while.”
“Went for pokemon but didn’t have a specific thing in mind and the staff was super kinda and helped me pick out some stuff! Super easy to pick manual cards out too!”
“Natalie was very sweet, kind, and helpful throughout the whole process. Yahir then took over and was absolutely amazing in helping us purchase our refrigerator and arrange the delivery. Yahir did everything he could to make sure the delivery went smoothly and that everything was taken care of. He was patient, professional, and genuinely cared about helping us. We really appreciate all of his effort and excellent customer service. Thank you, Yahir and Natalie, for all your help!”
“They were my first children’s specific resale store and no where else in the city has matched the inventory selection and merchandising standards that they have. I hope you support this local business and take home some treasures at a great price.”
“Cute small shop has a huge inventory of lots of Sanrio products. Pricing is of course "not cheap" (trademark, genuine products), if your a fan you won't leave without a lil something red or pink! Gorgeous handbags, backpacks, pillows, charms, hair assesories, keychains... on & on. Just luv My Melody & My Little Twin Stars! Staff/owners are so darling, helpful, personable & gracious as you enter and exit the shop. Meter Parking in the area is a challenge so if you plan to visit make time and enjoy the walk along all the shopping strip. Food, frozen yogurt, adjacent mall. There's a lot in the area.”
