“This art supply store was super stocked with all materials I needed for my college level painting class. The two helping me, Cheryl and Georgia, were both so kind and understanding as it was my first time being in the store helping me find my items and eve giving me a free tote bad. While checking out, Cheryl even signed me up to get 10% off all purchases because I am a student. I will definitely be coming back to restock my supplies later this semester!”
“So somehow I never actually left a review for game Kastle, despite playing Warhammer there weekly for almost 2 years so here's me rectifying that!
This store is amazing. Friendly, knowledgeable, and welcoming staff, great community, great selection of games (they have so many board games), and a very good selection of paints (at least for Warhammer, don't know about non-wargame applications). The fact that it's a bit out of the way for me coming from Bethesda is outweighed by the fact that it's just an amazing game store. If you're interested in any of the games they hold regular events for, please consider going and supporting them.”
“A lovely game store with nice staff and people are always here playing various types of games throughout the week!
Bonus: open late 11pm nearly everyday!
It also sells snacks and drinks!”
“Love this place . One of the only stores you can buy exclusively ceramic supplies at on the east coast. I mix all my glaze from scratch I can always count on clayworks having whatever I need to mix my glaze no matter how experimental I’m feeling . I wish they were open Monday and Sunday but if I ever need something urgently on a Monday I can drive to Baltimore to their other store. I also highly recommend taking classes at clayworks studios in Baltimore where I taught for a number of years. They have an excellent studio space and it’s located in very close proximity to the Baltimore clayworks supplies so you will never run out of clay to work with.”
“This is a fantastic hobby store. It is the only hobby store that is metro accessible and within driving distance in the DMV area. They have a large amount of tables that can serve as tabletop gaming tables or card tables, they have a huge range of products going from your classic Warhammer to historicals, Star Wars, and other genres. In addition to that, the staff pride themselves on creating an inclusiveness atmosphere where all are welcome to game, and cleanliness of the store. I highly recommend for anyone on the DMV area to make this store your hobby place.”
“Great store. 1st time visitors and enjoyed the choice of products available. In fact so much I called family to invite them to shop and support. The staff is helpful and friendly.”
“Nice little place with a fun selection of kits, mostly military Tamiya. Primer i got from here is the cheapest iv been able to find yet works better than any iv used before.”
“I was in town and David’s shop was in easy walking distance. Had an extremely nice time, and actually came back a day later. Very knowledgeable and I am very pleased with my purchases. Importantly, while there I saw him interact with a number of other customers. Like me, he treated them with patience and answered all questions in a friendly manner. I hope to get back there!”
“I love Michael's. I also appreciate being able to shop unimpeded with clerks lingering around. I was able to take my time to find the yarn that I wanted to crochet with, finding new crochet hooks, crochet needles for sewing projects together, and locating all of the charms for the bracelets I've made for myself, my daughters, my friend who came with me, and her kids.
Checkout was a breeze, although I think the only issue I had was the last time I was there, I placed all of my items in a strategic pattern from least expensive to the most expensive. I had them all lined up on the counter to scan and some middle aged clerk took it upon herself to come over to grab all of my items to scan them herself. This annoyed me. So much so that I started to just walk out with buying anything when I had a little over $150 worth of items on the counter and paid for everything single one of them each and every time I go into that store or any other Michael's for that matter. I'm fine with self checkout. In fact, I prefer self checkout and not having people touching all of my items. They were already touched previously by the clerk who had to take them to the counter for me. I spend hundreds of dollars on crafting items because I love my hobbies of crocheting, beading and jewelry making, sewing fabric into something nice and obtaining other embellishment items for sewing, wood burning projects, and more. Outside of that one lady, I otherwise had fun perusing and shopping in the store.”
“As a scultor, mixed media artist, and business owner, this is my favorite store for a level 3 heavy-duty canvas for my art and siser htv for designing T-shirts and sweatshirts.”
“Michael's had many of the craft supplies that I was looking for and at good prices. I also love how they always offer great coupons for reward card holders.
They also now offer baloon services which is a great addition because who doesn't need ? every once in awhile.”
“Michaels at Silver Spring was a treat for my grandson and me.
We particularly went to purchase art supplies and we were satisfied with our purchases.
The service/ reception person
was also helpful with info about the store, our first time visit”
“My fav lgs , friendly people and players Yu-Gi-Oh on Wednesdays at 7 tournament style , Thursday night mtg commander at 7 , Warhammer on Sunday and occasional DND sessions just ask the owner , not a huge selection of stuff but friendly playgroups although be warned the Yu-Gi-Oh players are GOOD lmao so be prepared for a challenge”
“Alamo FLAG company in Virginia have whatever FLAG you may ever need for any event or occasion! The customer service is excellent and they go far and beyond assisting. me. I have had a flagpole set up At my home, and I’m getting two more for some friends. Great company to deal with! Would highly recommend!”
“I went to this store with my two young boys who have recently gotten into Pokemon. The owner was very friendly and kind. We were able to go through a huge box of bulk commons and they were thrilled with finding some unique cards. I think it was 10 cents per card for bulk commons. They also have a retro looking coin operated card vending machine too if you like the thrill of getting random cards.”

“Mind Games says that it is the creative shop for minds at play. In some areas they are highly successful. They have the largest and most diverse collection of jigsaw puzzles. I have a friend who loves jigsaw puzzles and she would thoroughly enjoy the store. I also really liked their sword collection. They had a beautiful collection of swords hanging near the main desk. There were a few cute animated toys, such as a small race course near the front entrance of the store. I did feel it was really small, even for my young grandson. I was fascinated by this toy bird that continued to fly circles around the ceiling near the entrance. Service was great. I was offered help as soon as I entered the store. They were very nice. I didn't ask any prices, so I can't really speak to the cost value. I would call this a niche store. It is for people who have an interest or niche that they are in search of. I am still wondering about that bird flying overhead. Pretty cool toy.”
“It was really impressed with the atmosphere of this store. I ended up buying 3 DnD books worth about $150. I heard that they're one of the oldest game/hobby stores in the country.”
“Well stocked with everything for crafty projects and picture frames. Good prices when there's a sale. They added self checkouts. Tabo at checkout was very helpful and efficient.”
“Went there to get some fabric medium and couldn't find any. Brianna took the time to look for it. Couldn't find any for that brand, so she was able to find another brand. It's been a long time since an employee had gone all out to help me. Great job Brianna!”

I went in today (November 2, 2025) and this store is definitely NOT temporarily closed like Google says!
Wow, fully stocked with awesome finds. I called beforehand to ask if they had an item I needed, and they actually answered the phone, followed the prompt, put me on hold, and came back confirming they had it. ??
The Christmas and balloon selection is amazing! For a smaller store, the layout is on point clean, organized, and surprisingly better stocked than our Michaels stores in Orlando, Florida. ???
If you’re in the area, this location is absolutely worth the stop!”
“Born in the state of Maryland but live in the state of New York. Owner of selected coins brought from a Russian & German antique shop. New York coin dealer suggest to where I was born. Thank you.”
“Went to this GameStop a couple days ago to trade in my Spider-Man edition PS5 and upgrade to the PS5 Pro during the Pro Week promotion. The total trade-in value came out to a little over $450, which made the upgrade much easier.
The staff were extremely patient and helped me reset my old console in store, which I really appreciated. We also had a nice casual conversation while everything was processing, and the overall experience felt very friendly and relaxed.
I mentioned that I didn’t get a chance to preorder Resident Evil 9 Requiem from GameStop, so I missed the promotional tote bag, and the employee actually gave me one for free, which was a really nice surprise.
Shoutout to Darius and Allen (sorry if I spelled the names wrong!) for the great service. This is definitely one of the better GameStop locations I’ve been to.”

“Neat little tabletop gaming store that host events regularly. Staff were very nice and helpful and you can tell they all genuinely love and care about their jobs.”
