“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!!”
“Just went in on a mission for my daughter for Easter and I cannot say a wonderful every person working there was to help find everything I was looking for. Everyone was extremely kind helpful treated me like I was spending a million dollars. Being in retail myself it totally made my day. Thank you.”
“Been here a few times now. Definitely has a sketchy vibe to it, as the building looks abandoned, there's almost never any cars in the rundown parking lot, and the shop is down a flight of stairs to the basement. However, don't be fooled -- a little diamond in the rough going on. Once you walk through the door, they have an impressive array of all things collectable. I've gone specifically for sports trading cards, as they have a decent selection with more each time we've gone. The staff there (and owner) talk with us each time we've gone, and are very personable. If you're looking for in-person browsing and selection over Amazon blind purchases, I highly recommend stopping in.”
“If you like Legos and slamming clams. This is the clam slamminest place around. Muff city i tell you. More beave than Montana. If you like your taco all jammed up with cottage cheese and smelling like a salmon brick swap USA is your place”
“Having a few hours to kill on my way to the airport, I chose this shop on a whim. I'm very glad I did. They have a phenomenal manga selection, one of the best I've ever seen. I was able to fill several holes in my collection. While the prices aren't exactly low, they are fair. Should I find myself in Connecticut again, I will be sure to stop by.”
“My husband and I brought our daughter to this ADORABLE toy shop and it was so much fun to visit! Incredible selection & the staff is so friendly! We left with a stuffed animal, book and stickers! So cute! We will definitely return. Highly recommend!”
“they did great, they all deserve 5 stars. asked us if we wanted the stuffed cat to be redone since the face was weird rather than just giving it to us. customer service is awesome, very pleasant.”
“Just learned that they are opening a new store in Newington on Berlin Turnpike in the old big lots building in 2025! They’re planning to open one in Rutland, VT too!”
“Probably the cleanest and most well-organized Five Below I've ever seen, which makes it easy to find whatever I'm searching for. Staff is friendly and warm, but not overbearing -- this is especially impressive considering how busy it was!”
“Always fun to go in and check out the new things that they have. The staff is always friendly and willing to help if you are looking for something in particular. Love this store and it is my go to for cards and gift wrap all throughout the year.”
