Toy Stores near Pleasanton, CA

“The staff was very helpful in our search for a goat herder mini figure and the Pet groomer . We were able to mail them to my brother and sister in law in Nevada.”

“The manager was super nice! We got the birthday bear special.. pay your age. The place was packed this morning but the manager made super to make each person feel special during their turn and didn't rush the process which was nice.”

“Very nice place I’m so happy I went to visit. I’m a big Lego fan and it was a great experience with the staff and the legos there. Highly recommend if you’re a Lego fan !”

“I go weekly to this place for ukulele lessons. Stan, my instructor is fabulous. I’ve owned my ukulele for probably 25 years and have attempted three different times to learn how to play it. Each time I was managing a difficult instructor who was absolutely lousy at teaching. Stan has got me really progressing amazingly. He’s very encouraging, very affordable, and just an all-around great guy. Plus the store he works out of is darling. I highly suggest you stop in and check it out.”

“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.”

“My brother and I came in randomly on a coffee run and came across Mantiques. 2 49ers jackets caught my brothers eyes. Coming back 2 more times, he finally decided on bringing these 2 jackets home. These guys have a great treasure box of everything you can think of. They also have a great welcoming set of door open to anyone passing by. Don’t forget to get a free toy at the door when you leave- “ONE PER KID. BIG KIDS OK TOO” ?”

“The owner and staff at this place are always nice and welcoming. I like their selection of Magic the Gathering product and the variety of card sleeves that they have in the store. I like to check in once in a while and look through their draft chaff and buy singles for decks I am building or just want to collect. Overall, I've been popping in and out of the store since around 2016 and I've always had a good time there. I recommend checking this place out.”

“i see that a lot of the negative reviews mention the prices of the toys being too expensive and i just have to add my two cents. there’s a LE about 45 minutes from me, and their prices are pretty much the same as the one in san ramon. i don’t think the prices are too high at all, i think they’re extremely fair and also not always under the control of LE. for example, i go to LE purely for jellycats. jellycats are relatively expensive no matter where you buy them, but LE always has an amazing selection and the first time i ever went to the one in san ramon, i found a jellycat that has been retired for so long, and is very rare and hard to find, AND THEY WERE SELLING HIM FOR HIS RETAIL PRICE! that is amazing. just a different perspective”

“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!”

“They have amazing stuff but as other reviews said despite of being inside an outlet a lot of merchandise still very expensive but oh the other hand you can find amazing deals and prices. The only problem are the sizes because you can find smaller or larger ones, it’s rare to find mediums.

I bought a 101 Dalmatians backpack in $13 which I think is amazing. There are cups and thermos under $15.

Staff aren’t as kind and helpful as the reviews affirm.”

“Talk about a nostalgic trip! Knowing about this from a recent Toy Expo, we stopped by this location not knowing what to expect. It was a exactly what you would expect from those that love toys as much as us. There was so much to see and you had to move items to make sure you didn't miss a thing. There were folks in the store, laughing, hanging out and it made it seem so much more welcoming. There are cases of items as well as items just on shelves and we definitely got lost in time. When it came time to pay - they hooked it up with great prices and we really look forward to coming back to see what else we may have missed.”

“First time in here & overall it's tidier than dollar store or Ross. Most things are $5 or less. I was happy with cute plush pillow, $1 bday cards, cheap snacks, fidget toys & Valentine's Day stuff right now. There's some books, cosmetics, lots of candy & toys and art supplies. Overall some good stuff not quite 5 stars because there was one only poor woman handling like everything. Shout out to her for staying polite & helpful throughout.”

“It baffles me why this place has one star reviews.

I too read all the one star reviews and was skeptical but I took a leap of faith and I'm glad I did.

I called in to see if they had the NUNA Exec car seat and spoke to Gina. She was very cordial over the phone and said she'd call back to check her inventory and I was on my way there regardless to peruse what they had. Ironically she called me back as soon as I stepped into the store. The store itself is very well organized and had a variety of items for sale as well as display models of strollers and car seats. (Side note, she has it CLEARLY stated on their website to make an appointment for demo's so be smart or call in to see if they can accommodate you)

I went in thinking I knew all the ins and outs of the car seat I wanted but I was sorely mistaken. Gina went out of her way to show me all the features/bells & whistles of the car seat I wanted, and even demonstrated how to properly secure it with the seat belt. She was to the point and didn't waffle around and that I truly appreciated.

Albeit it was a SMIDGE more expensive compared to how much Bloomingdales or any other big box retailer would sell it for BUT with the level of service I personally received and knowledge Gina had about all the products she carried in her store, I was very happy to pay a little more and will definitely will be back!”
