“This is one of the best shops I've ever been to. The staff is off the chain good; knowledgeable, helpful, but not intrusive. You can tell they put a lot of thought into the shop as a whole, but the book curating... *Chef's kiss*
The gaming section is really cool, gorgeous dice. For any of your occult, witchy, or just cool weird gift needs, it's amazing. I just wish I lived closer.”
“Clay at Main Street Coin made evaluating and selling my coin collection easy. He was patient and informative as we examined and evaluated my collection. There was no pressure to sell, just clear explanation about what I had (or didn't) in my collection. Clay even helped me with some foreign currency from about 12-15 countries that I wanted to unload. I was anxious about what to expect from the process, but left feeling positive about our transaction. I recommend the services of Clay/Main Street Coin in Hyde Park.”
“The flags are great. Made in the USA like they should be. More things need to be made in America to continue to make this country self sufficient. The young man than worked in the store was very knowledgeable and helpful. Buy American!!!!!”
“Osborne Coinage Co. makes some of the finest products that I have ever laid my hands on. I am a humble member of the Barlow Bearcat Club & the coins that they minted for us are stellar. They are in "Proof" quality & if you know anything about coinage, you understand that proof coins are the finest quality of coins produced. They are meticulously produced in small numbers and handled to a specific set of guidelines, which ensures the highest quality standard for coins. To make what they made & to do it in the time they did is almost unimaginable, if I am being honest. This speaks volumes to their unwavering dedication to quality and customer service. If you are interested in getting some custom coinage produced, look no further because this is your company.”
“We were left a massive collection in an estate, with little to no idea what we had. After emailing all the major "National dealers" that advertise in Linns Stamp News, Randy was the ONLY one to get back with us and help us get an idea of what we had. After several emails and texts, Randy agreed to come look at the collection. Ultimately we came to an agreement to sell the collection. Randy was the perfect dealer for us. His willingness to help us and his personal handing of things from beginning to end was perfect. Couldn't give him a higher recommendation! Thanks Randy”
“My first visit to Knit On! was a success! They have such a huge selection here, a whole room of your natural fibers (like wool or cotton) and another room of acrylic and baby yarns. I was amazed at the selection given I am a beginner and have only shopped at Michael's Crafts for yarn. It's clear the yarns are high quality but they have some at every price point which is great. This place is so much better than the big box store where I've had a hard time finding a selection of wool yarn and things like safety eyes. Knit On! had everything I'd ever need for a project and a lot for inspiration too. There were some baby lovey kits and kits for scarves and other fun creations. There are cute pins and jewelry too! I liked how it was all well organized. The proprietor Nancy helped me and was very kind. She showed me where everything is and let me browse as I pleased. She also wound my yarn into a cake/ball for me and let me know they offer knitting lessons if I'd ever like to try! I enjoyed the visit and will definitely return for any special or nice project I want to make.”
“Passing through while on vacation and stopped by this excellent game store! Excellent selection and it was great to see some people gathered to play a game. I would definitely return in the future if I'm nearby!”
“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.”

Hobby Shops
“The one and only place I will go to in Cincinnati for buying and selling precious metals. The owners (Brad and Mike) have an incredibly vast amount of knowledge regarding coins and currency and the prices they buy at and sell to you is more than fair (and incredibly transparent). I even take our 3 young children there from time to time and Brad and Mike couldn't be any more kind and patient with them as they peruse the collection. Coins Plus is (some pun intended) truly the gold standard for coin shops in Cincy.”
“I'm pleasantly surprised that a box store like this has professional in-house framers with some knowledge! I appreciated the framing work they did. They were helpful & efficient in the process.”
“They have been able to assist in filling out my coin collection. They will not be making available the quarters with the women in history. Otherwise, all of my other collections are complete.”
“I had such a great experience here. I came in on a whim looking for paint but not knowing exactly what I needed. The salesperson was very nice and listened to my needs. He then recommended several options and helped me make the right choice. I am extremely satisfied with the help I received.”
“Not sure why anyone interested in model railroading in the tri-state would go anywhere but Allied Rail. They are knowledgeable, friendly, have good prices on everything, and literally have anything you need for model trains, regardless of age. And if they don't have it they can get it. I wouldn't go anywhere else.”
“Stopped in to get some Pokémon cards for my kids. I was extremely impressed with their game selection and the game knowledge is unmatched! I will absolutely be returning!”
“Best place in the area to go when getting into hobby. Can’t recommend it enough, the store manager is always willing to talk any and all things warhammer and gives excellent painting advice. He’ll even walk you through painting your first model to help set up good basic fundamentals before starting yourself!”
“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.”
“So other than a couple super specific things that they don’t carry and I wish they would (i.e., metal sectional frames, canvas stretchers, blank stencil sheets, Montana spray paints) they have a great selection for most every crafty project you can think of. I usually go in with a purpose to pick up something or other, and leave with that along with supplies for at least two or three new hobbies.The absolute best kept secret is the “practice/ooops/abandoned/sample sale” frames in the back of the custom framing area (on the wall by the work table and employee work area) - they sell these professionally made custom frames for just $8 apiece *regardless of the size.* While there are no guarantees as to what they’ll have in rotation at any given time, I have picked up some downright massive high-quality frames as well as several matched sets for next to nothing on multiple occasions. The app is a good source of rewards and discounts, especially if you’re an educator, veteran, or first responder. Can also be worth swinging through the kid section for less expensive versions of certain craft supplies.”
“I came in to sell an item and Hunter the manager on duty was super kind and helpful. He made it a smooth process and I will be sure to come back to this location.”
“Never been here but was surprised on how much is hidden in the little store. Dave was super cool and explained how the game nights work. Additionally, the card ordering kiosk is super handy for seeing if they have what you're looking for when it's busy”
