“This location is alright when it comes to prices and selection. Primarily a plastic model maker of fixed-wing aircraft, I have had occasional luck with cool finds. Most of the time I come here for their paint selection which is again, alright. Their staff is friendly enough and their selection of parts for things like RC planes and cars along with larger plastic models for moth military and sci-fi is good. I recommend stopping in!”
“I was about to drive my son anywhere in San Diego for used Pokemon cards, and Honey Hole was right down the street in Escondido! He's stoked. Pick out a stack of cards for a few bucks or select collectables at the price range you want.”
“I've been a regular here for nearly eight years now. Pair a Dice has everything I want from a game store, and it's also a perfect place to meet up and play games, even if you don't intend on spending money.
Absolutely love this place and I hope it continues to do good business.”
“Purchased an Associated CR12 from this location. Have used for other misc. needs for building my race cars. Willing to order what you need if they don't have it. Great little shop for bashing.”
“My two daughters are fencing there and they love their fencing center! You can not only learn how to fence there, you also make a lot of good friends there, the most important thing is the coaches are really really good and nice! We love San Diego Fencing Center. Once you join the fencing center, you are like joining a big family!”
“Superb customer service, inviting atmosphere & business aside, the owners are kind people that have given great conversation each time I’ve visited. Also, they have an awesome selection of bullion, I’ve found some really neat stuff each visit.”
“I always want to buy everything in the store. If you're bored, just go to Michael's. Want your kids to stop whining about screen time, just go to Michael's. Want to give your mom a gift that isn't quite perfect, but will give her a big smile, go to Michael's”

“Easily the best experience I had here. I needed special adapters and pieces that weren’t common and they had parts that I needed. Santiago and his team took their time helping me, I didn’t feel rushed at all. We took awhile trying to figure out which pieces or options would work for the use I need for my co2 tanks. In the end I walked out with 2 possible solutions so I will definitely be back once I find the solution that works out for me, for more fittings. I will definitely recommend this place for all your welding supply needs or any help with finding the right parts that you need!”
“Went here recently to check out the store. I haven’t played Warhammer in over 15 years but wanted to see what kind of selection this store has. I have friends who remain in the game and really enjoy it. This store has a great selection and really helpful staff. I spoke with Alex about the state of the game and the updates between Fantasy and 40k. He caught me up with product releases and ways to start up a new army. Overall great store if you’re looking to get into any of the Warhammer products.”
“This store feeds my creative soul. I love coming here and going up and down the aisles, whether I'm seeking inspiration or on a mission to find specific items for my creative projects. My modus operandi is to search the website first to get ideas or to see if what I want is available in-store. Even when I order online and then drive over to pick up my purchases, I end up roaming the store to see, What else do they have? Staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive. The shelves are well-stocked with a wide range of products in numerous categories, and I can't recall ever leaving here empty-handed or uninspired!”

“There are not many independent toy stores left but Geppetto’s really throws back to the bygone era of my childhood. Great selection of really neat toys. They have everything from big brands like Lego and Mattel products, to more unique and mindful and specialized toys that help develop the mind. Very spendy. Nice people!”
“I'm giving this location 5 stars because what the employees have to put up with, I truly don't understand majority of the people that come in here acting like it's some sort of thrift store trying to make a deal in a RETAIL store it's absolutely ridiculous!! The fact I've seen grown adults throw temper tantrums cause they want something honored blows my mind and makes me think that the people here haven't been to a store before or have done there own shopping. I truly can't express how such a nice neighborhood being filled with some of cheapest people I have ever seen in my life disgusts me. I'm sorry for the employees who look like they are mostly high schoolers getting yelled at by adults who should know better, way to set a example Encinitas, I've seen a grown man yell at a worker there for paint for rocks! Every time I go there someone is always trying to get prices lowered and the poor cashiers and supervisors can't tell these overgrown spoiled brats no. The workers are fine but the customers here can truly be disgusting and spoiled babies”

“The framing department is great. They must bring in huge profits with their advice and expertise. I have redone all of my paintings. I am sad that Elizabeth has left, but her male study is exceptional. Make sure you don't lose him. I don't know who to go to otherwise.”
“I just wanted to give Michaels in Vista 5 stars all the way around. Every time I go in, all of the employees are pleasant and the shopping experience has been excellent. My recent interaction with Fred who works in the frame shop was also 5 stars as well. He was very professional and interested in providing exceptional service. Great job everyone!”
“Big store. Clean and organized and very helpful associate at the front of the store. Although this store didn't have what I needed, the associate looked up another location and found the stickers I needed. I appreciate your help!! Thank you”
“Store is big, clean & well stocked. Staff were helpful & welcoming. I was unable to get the 2024 charms needed to make graduation money leis & this was the second store I visited for that purpose.”
“I wish there was more then 5 stars. They deserve it more then anything DAVID thank you for all your help very much appreciated!! They will take care of you guaranteed!”
