“I took my one year old here to get the pay your age birthday special during her birth month and it was a wonderful experience! The staff was patient, kind, and informative!”
“Easy to just spend too much money, great selection of new and used sets. 6 large bins with random pieces and multiple other specialty pieces bins to pick from. Great stop for any Lego fan in the area”
“Best bookstore ever! My best friend and I went into the store this morning with the intention of buying secret books for one another. Keon and Emily helped us both out and listened as we described each other’s favorite genres and tropes. They helped us pick out multiple options and we ended up buying almost all of them! They wrapped them up to make it like “blind date with a book!” It was so much fun and we can’t wait to go back and do this again! Such an unexpected adventure for a Sunday morning!”

“If you ever want to find super unique toys, games, and gifts for anyone (including yourself), Birdie’s is it. I’m a big game dude who’s been to toy & game conventions and I truly appreciate both the selection of cool things here and also the warm cozy vibes you get as soon as you walk in.
The thing I like most about Birdie’s is that the toys here are things you’re not gonna find at Target, Walmart, or Amazon. You’re getting to see really cool gems that have been sourced and curated and hand-chosen from a variety of less-known, special out-of-the-box places. The store is cozy, it’s personal, and every corner has something that feels like you’re finding a little secret thing you would never have known about otherwise!!”
“Awesome card/game store. Always have cards for cheap and I always find something new in the store. Plus they always help out if a game isn't working for you”
“Go green by clearing out your closets and earning money for your previously worn items. Its good for the planet and your wallet. Always a great selection of quality items, from maternity and infant through teens and adult clothing, shoes, accessories, books and toys.”

“Awesome place, good friendly vibes with a lot of diverse items; comics to cards to action figures. I was on the hunt for a specific Sabretooth figure which to my suprise they had in stock, when no one else did! Very happy customer, I want to go back already!”
“If you're on the hunt for high-quality toys for your little ones, I highly recommend checking out this place. They offer a great selection of fun and season-appropriate toys, from cars to dolls, playsets, and so much more.
Every time we have a party here and visit the store we can't seem to leave without finding something exciting for kids to enjoy at home.
Happy toy shopping!”
“The Paper Store is a fun place to shop… they gave a wide variety of items to look at. It’s a great place to shop for gifts. Staff is very helpful. A little pricey though.”

“Great throwback hobby shop with tons of inventory and good prices. Store has been closed for the past week or so with no message at door or on website, I hope all is well.”
“This place is still on the brand new side and their first day of opening was on 5/29/25, decided to check it out and it was very well organized. The staff were really nice, friendly, and also very helpful by greeting everyone that has walked in as a first time. I’ll be back because it really feels like close to home for me and if I need a supply for crafts which I know they have a low temperature heated glue gun. I would highly recommend more people to check out this place and for the record it deserves a 5 star review.”
“I want to shout out Katie, Sam, Matt and Erik!!!
They were all amazing, with a special shoutout to Katie. It was my 6 yr olds first time at a Lego store and she made him feel special, so much so that he calls her his friend.
It was cool for me as a parent to sit back and watch him interact with her as she made it a point to show him around, talk about the store and what Lego sets and pieces he likes, as well as gave me a lot of insight of how to sign up for an account for perks and where to find the toys he liked.
I have worked in the customer service industry for 25+ years, this was one of the best experiences as a customer that I’ve felt in a while. These 4, especially Katie deserve to be recognized for their amazing customer care.
Thank you for treating my son like the amazing little human he is, we will be back at this store specifically to buy more Lego sets just because of the human kindness they demonstrated. It’s something we all need to share in our lives.
PS, the barcode on the receipt didn’t work, so I looked for the store to write this review because I was so impressed with our experience.
Great job Katie, Sam, Matt, and Erik!!! Keep up the great work!!!”
