“Elijah was so knowledgeable and friendly! He helped show us different legos we were interested in, and really took the time to talk to us and show us everything! Very kind and thoughtful! Give this man a raise!”
“Incredible store. If you are looking for custom off the beaten path toys, this is the place to go. Prices are great, and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Great variety, well organized and fun to visit. My Talking Hans and Farmer Fett figures look fantastic in my collection.”
“The staff were wonderful! I was looking for something specific and the lady knew exactly where to find each item , closest to my descriptions.
The bear I made was a gift to my best friend's sister, as my best friend had just passed away. We dressed the bear in his most typical choice of clothing, added his voice and a coffee fragrance (he loves coffee).
The staff were all extremely helpful and caring! Fantastic service. I'll absolutely be returning!”
“Incredible! The people are nice and helpful and I love that the shop is downstairs and the tables are above it. Too many game shops are crowded third spaces that make shopping miserable. I’d give this 6 stars if I could.”
“I go in for one thing and leave with 20 other things just cause the great deals they have I mean you really can't em pass up... Bad ass Adidas shirt for $6... I said six single dollar bills y'all.... Carhartt apparel in there Nautica. Deals deals deals”

“I didn't catch the woman's name, but she was very kind,helpful, informative and I felt honest about the hot wheels I was asking her to appraise. I would definitely recommend o'smileys based on my experience there. I felt she was very honest about what I had and the value they hold. 100% recommend. Plus if you like vintage toys, they have a pretty substantial collection.”
“Really fun wild card store to go to. Never know what kinda random stuff you'll find for pretty reasonable prices! Big shout out to their book section which is pretty big and most of them are like 3-5 bucks!”

“I love this place so much! As an autistic and ADHD adult, I was able to find several sensory tools that have been very helpful for me, including some that I didn't even know existed. One note for neurodivergent adults shopping for themselves, this place does feel very childish. That isn't a bad thing necessarily, but it can be slightly uncomfortable for those of us still struggling with some internalized ableism (myself included). I'm looking forward to visiting this store again! Would make a great birthday trip for myself!”

“What a gem to find! Just went in for a minute and stayed an hour or more! Had to bring my Great Nephew when he came to visit. He loved it too, any kid would, amazing selections and unique items. Lots of skill building puzzles and sensory ideas. As a stroke recovery person there were lots of exciting things to explore. We will be back again with my Great Niece! Spread the word on this hidden diamond!”

“My friend got me a few bags of wax melts from this shop as a gift and I enjoy them very much! Great quality. And if I'm ever in the area, I will definitely stop in for more!”
“I used to bring my kids (20 and 15) here when they were young, and always loved it. I just babysat a two year old for a couple weeks, and we brought her. This place is still doing what it always has! Yay!”
“I stumbled across Stoney’s on my walk around Mainstrasse and I’m so happy I did! She is the most welcoming shop owner ever and all the art and boardgames and toys plus her eclectic style makes for a very unique store worth stopping by. I’ll definitely be getting presents there for all my nieces and nephews from now on!”
“Was going out of town to visit nieces and nephews, got three toys from this store as I had in the past. Came home and heard that the bubble blaster didn’t last a week. My niece called and emailed store with no response even though I had receipt’s. I really want to support local but the store did not stand behind products and I was embarrassed that the toy I bought didn’t last 7 days.Update- stopped in the store after owner replied to my post. Brought receipts in and they sent a replacement out.”
“What a wonderful experience at Learning Express shopping for my friend's daughter's birthday gift. They have Birthday Boxes... so you are able to get exactly what they want. I called and Emily let me know what was in her box, worked with my budget, and it was gift wrapped!!!! What amazing customer service!!!!”
“Very friendly staff. They helped me research an item and search other GS. It is a little disappointing that GS doesn't allow you to order all of their items online but it is no fault of these locations. Very clean and organized store too!”
“This place is amazing. Tons of fun to be had in the store for free and complimentary coffee for dad. Great selection of unique toys as well and friendly staff. Probably the best toy store I’ve ever taken my kids to”
