“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.”
“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”
“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!”
“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!!!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”
“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!”

“I stopped in here to do some Christmas shopping. Fun fact, the paper store has a lot more stuff that’s not paper related whatsoever… Who knew?The staff is nice and I found them to be very helpful.The store appears to be clean and well stocked.I found lots of great items that will make fine gifts!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!!”
