“Wonderful experience! We stopped in here after looking around at a few place and we knew right around we didn't need to look any further. From the customer service to the product, we love the whole place. My wife was able to find the furniture she was wanting & they had a lot of small decor that we picked up as well. Very impressed.”
“The ladies at the store are amazing, very sweet and helpful. If you love purses and don't have the alot of funds this place has affordable prices. Good selection on Lululemon. Highly recommended place.”
“Visited for the first time this weekend and I loved it, thankyou for purchasing some items I brought in, the lady working was extremely efficient and clearly let me know what to expect. Great store”
“It's hard not to like this store! They're actually is something for everyone and when you start walking through it you realize there's much more to this place than appears when you come through the front door. Every friend and relative I've brought over has absolutely loved it and bought things that they couldn't live without.”
“I would have to give this 5 stars. Walking in you get a greeting every single time. As soon as you walk in it’s literally like a treasure chest. You find the nicest cutest things. You can walk in just to look but you walk out with some great goodies and the prices are good. This family owned business is a indeed a treasure.”
“Such a cute store! I had the pleasure of meeting the owner while I was shopping, so kind, energetic, and helpful! Definitely recommend stopping by, I can’t wait to go back!”
“They do have a list of what you have so who ever said they don't they are a liar because they do have to. All you do is give them is your that I'd number that they give you. They always take care of me always with care.”
“Though I haven’t found furniture to fit my needs every time I visit this store, I have always had a great experience and enjoyed not only walking through to look at the interesting pieces, but the owner’s thorough knowledge of each item and its history. The pieces I have purchased for my home (a large sideboard and nightstand among others) are beautiful and in great condition. Perfectly fit my taste and style. I stop in every time I’m close by because the inventory changes all the time and you never know what treasure may find it’s way back home.”
“I’ve been shopping at Once Upon a Child stores since before 2014 and started visiting the four Jacksonville locations regularly around 2016. Out of them all, this Mandarin location is the one I visit most often when I make the trek from Nocatee to hit Trader Joe’s and Whole Foods. I remember when this store was originally near Trader Joe’s — the new location is a bit farther, but that’s perfectly fine.
Over the years, I believe this location has changed ownership a few times, but it has consistently remained one of my favorites. The prices here are very reasonable, especially on brands like bamboo and Lilly Pulitzer — often much lower than the airport or Orange Park locations, and definitely better than the Kid to Kid store just around the corner.
While I usually sell my higher-end items online, I bring my everyday brands and toys here because the process is easy and fair — and I don’t have to meet strangers in parking lots just to make a few extra dollars. I always make sure my items are freshly laundered, neatly organized in a container (not trash bags), and complete with all parts. I truly believe that kind of presentation makes a difference. If more sellers took a little extra time to prepare their items this way, they might have better experiences and offers too.
I also want to give a special mention to the gentleman who runs the store — he’s incredibly kind and helpful, and has even carried large items to my SUV more than once. It’s that kind of personal touch that keeps me coming back. I try to stop in about once a week when I’m in the area.
My only suggestion for improvement — and this goes for most resale stores, including Kid to Kid — would be to tone down the air fresheners. Strong scents can be overwhelming for those of us who are sensitive to them.
Overall, this location continues to be one of my favorites for both buying and selling children’s items. Always a great experience!”
“I don't go as often as I would like to go. I always find great deals when I do look through the racks. Love the fact that most of the clothes are gently used (or new) and don't have to worry about bringing home worn out stuff.”
“Super cool shop! Refurbished, re-purposed, antiques, and more. I appreciate all the collections of trinkets, furniture, and decor. This place has a lot to see, so stop by and take some time to enjoy this quaint establishment. The lady at the counter is sweet and very helpful. If you're looking for something specific, just ask - and visit often as new goods are placed on the floor all the time. One thing I should have purchased a few years ago (and STILL think about) was a carved Oak dresser mirror that was painted with black chalk paint in the space the mirror usually goes, and the chalk handwritten message read "Friends don't let friends shop retail". I should have purchased it! It was so awesome! Don't do like me - get your goodies when you see them because they will not last long in the shop!”
