“Love this place great place to chill out. Definitely always helpful staff and I love the Cookies and other pastries. Very quiet, but it never seems too busy which is great for me but I worry about the longevity of the business. I always try to buy a book every few times I visit because of this.”
“This is one of the best gaming/hobby store in the Country. It has a community that is supportive of one another and love including new-comers. I have traveled across this country and can give examples of how awesome this place is. I will miss it and those I met here and hope to come back for some games or two in the near future.”
“I was looking for the next book in a series that I'm reading, they didn't have it.. but I loved just walking around looking at everything they did have.. I will be back..I saw some things that I needed.”
“I love this store. Haven’t been here in a long time as I don’t live close but I made it a point to stop in with my son. It’ll take you back in time a bit.”
“I absolutely love this store! I have always had the best experiences. The staff is so helpful and kind. They really take their time with the customers and always point us to the perfect toys. The last time I shopped here really showed me how well run the store is. It was such an organized and easy process. I highly recommend shopping here!”
“Had the pleasure of meeting DC (shop owner) probably 15 years ago. So humble, hardworking (pretty sure he wears all the hats!), and willing to share his knowledge. Called him recently to thank him for his recommendation many-year-ago for Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing after I read The Killing Joke and Watchmen (if memory serves). I’ve never been more hooked on comics! Also, from time to time I see some unfortunate reviews—possibly from folks that don’t really understand how comic stores are run/the pressure of being an owner. In my experience, the best shops are run by people like DC, who have a vast knowledge of comics, but are also very self-sufficient (do everything to run the store themselves). So just realize, this owner is amazing—don’t be afraid to ask questions! If he’s locked into the computer for a moment, he’s just wearing one of his many hats! It doesn’t mean he doesn’t notice you. I think he also understands that some clients like to search without someone looking over their shoulder. I also think, the more comic shops you explore, the more you’ll realize just how special More Fun Comics is. Now I’ll get off my soap box ☺.”
“The Idea Factory is a gem and a special place amongst the tourist scape of New Orleans. Punny shirts and shot glasses made in China are a dime a dozen. From the art and the artists that are showcased within to the gentlemen that keep these doors open, I cannot think of another space around the City of New Orleans that has made such an impression on my curiosity. Dave and Bill have become wonderful sources of conversation for me, who travels for work for long periods of time. I would go as so far to call them friends. If you are in search for that unique piece to bring home, look no further than the Idea Factory. Most items are made of wood and are unique, almost one of a kind! You can find kinetic sculptures, clocks, puzzles and toys. Dave, who owns the Idea Factory also keeps a fair number of antique books and photography for sale that fit into the decor of the Idea Factory that gives this incredible space an old Americana feel.”
“Mrs. Stacy, Mrs. Frances, and Mrs. Dina and the guys who helped us load our stuff were amazing, patient, and very involved. Great customer service, amazing prices, and great hospitality. 1000/10!! We will definitely be back and shop.”
“Had a wonderful time with my 4 year old. Saturn made her first experience magical, helping choose the exact friend. The other two ladies were just as lovely, helping to find the exact outfit and checking us out.”
“We love visiting this lego store. I take my boys whenever we are in town. The employees are always friendly! There have been a few times where we aren't planning to purchase any Legos but my kids still like going in a checking out the various sets and playing with whatever is available on the floor. Thank you!”
“I love once upon a child. Prices are affordable, the brands are amazing, and the clothes are in great condition. This is the only pre owned store my children will pick clothes from, this makes life so much easier for me.”
“We have visited this store multiple times. My daughter loves the jelly cats and other stuffed animals. The music in the store is very calm and soothing. Nice vibes”
“My daughter and I had our first ever visit to New Orleans for the Eras Tour! While we were there we got to do some shopping and popped into Pippen Lane! My daughter is 8 and loves all things that sparkle and loves her accessories even more. Pippen Lane had EVERYTHING you could imagine for all sorts of fun occasions; including the Eras Tour! The staff was so friendly and seemed just as excited for us for the Eras Tour as we were! They made our experience feel extra special. As we were checking out I had mentioned that we don't have anything like their shop out by us and they let us know that they have Instagram and the ship!! So excited to be a returning *virtual* customer until we make our way back out to New Orleans!”
“This place is possibly the cutest shop on the street! Curated perfectly. I actually bought online and went to pick up and ended up walking out with more!
Side note - my cars battery actually died (thought it was something worse) right in front of the store and the wonderful owner offered so much help. Held my belongings and waited by my children while loaded the car seats in the Uber. Impeccable customer service to say the least!”
“Stuffed animals and toys. They have a surprisingly good book selection, for kids and classics for adults, along with some souvenirs like pins, shirts, hats, etc.”
“This store is a must for those gifts for little people! The prices were reasonable and there was such a wide selection of options - from clothing to stuffies to a plethora of books.”

“Baby One was a huge surprise children's clothing shop in the midst of stores geared towards souvenirs and foods of New Orleans. The selection of baby, toddler, and older kid clothing was amazing. Outfits ranged from the festive Mardi Gras colored t-shirts to the more sophisticated outfits from Bonne Jean. The pricing was very competitive with online stores and it felt good to support a local business with our purchases. The owner was friendly and the store was very inviting. We loved it!”

“Best purchase ever. Costumer service so great. I spoke with someone on the phone as well as on IG. The response time is very fast. The shopping was so easy online. I really wanted to go to the actual store, but I couldn’t find the time to be able to fly in. I ordered offline and received my cars within a week. Everything about the cars are nice. I brought them from my twins first birthday. My babies love them. The speakers are really loud and I can hear my babies playing the music from across the street. Cars are very spacious. The window of the car is pretty big also, my friend was able to put their names on it. I will be shopping again in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.”
“Best staff in the business right here. Manager is someone I've grown to respect for following rules and putting those pro members first!!! I'm not a video gamer just a card collector. I only come here now cause my boy all about business. Thats whats up!”
“This Ollie's can get a little chaotic at times but if you can stay focused on what you need as opposed to what you want, this location does it's job. Just make sure you use the restroom before you go there. Thank me later.😒”
