“It is a place where they welcome you very well and the prices are super low. I recommend it to all future mothers and those who are already mothers too. They will have everything there for their children.”
“It is smaller than the Annapolis store in size but not personality. The staff was friendly and inviting. They weren't able to find anything I was looking for, but was able to find something my daughter needed. We had been checking out the University of Maryland and a Koren bbq spot and wanted to stop by, just to say we've been there. Definitely worth the stop.”

“Wonderful store with a variety of games, toys, books, art supplies, and miscellany for children of all ages. Staff is super friendly and helpful. This is my go-to place to shop for creativity and play for the kids in my life.”
“The LEGO store is always a fun place to go to have fun and just look at sets. I’ve been to this store many times before, and my favorite part is the Build-Your-Own Minifigure stand they have.
This time they didn’t have many good pieces, so you gotta come in on different days to make a cool figure. LEGO sets are also a bit pricey (but they always are); 3 custom minigures were $10, basically for tiny pieces of plastic, but I love them so I got them.
It’s a pretty average LEGO store, but the employee Pablo was stand out. He’s very energetic and likes to help out and talk to the customers, and he’s great with kids. He’s the highlight of our visit.”
“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.”
“An oasis of culture, reading, and peace! Large selection of books and magazines, very helpful staff and a café where to drink/eat while reading.
Bookshops are too rare in the area, not to cherish this one!”

“I am so pleasantly surprised by this place! I had no idea what to get my neice and the owner took me around the store and showed me recommendations. All of it is decently priced as well, I highly recommend visiting”
“In these days with a noticeable decline in customer service, this store is a delightful outlier. I was warmly greeted by a friendly employee when I entered, was offered assistance with my large items and she even helped me get them outside once purchased. It was the best service I have received in a long time.”
“Today was our first time ever at a BAB Workshop & we were not disappointed. The whole process is so cute, and the birthday bears are an awesome touch. Jessica was so helpful and polite!”
“Lil Waffle said "if they just stayed put at the register..." As if they don't have two floors of toys to stock and clean up after your poorly supervised children. You just want this small business with 4 rooms, 2 floors, and 3 exits to sit at the register and wait on you? Then when you leave, they can just spend the whole night doing everything else required to run a business. Even Walmart cannot stand by their 45 registers waiting for you, Walmart makes you check out yourself and then audits your work ethic on the way out. Idiot.”

“Lovely store. Lots of great, interesting gifts to choose from. Wish I could have bought more things, but was on a budget. ? The owner was very kind and helpful. Will definitely stop by again when I visit DC.”
“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.”
“Great place to go R/C car racing and the staff is very knowledgeable! Very well stocked with high end parts and entry level as well. Biggest mini z track in the state. Great high bite indoor clay track.”
“Nice collection of better toys. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Free wrapping of even difficult items like stuffed animals. Easy access to parking, very safe area.”
“Children love stuffed toys! And, Squishable's has quite a variety of stuffed toys to choose from. In fact, there were so many, I had a hard time deciding on which one to get. But, the holidays are coming up fast and I am sure I will be back to buy some for presents. There are holiday themed stuffed toys, ocean themed stuffed toys, bears and owls...I could keep on naming them. You get my point. There are smaller squishables and very large ones too. The price is on the higher end, but if you buy 2, then you get one for 50 percent off. Service was good, a nice salesperson behind the counter asked if I needed any help? So, if you are looking for a stuffed animal I would give Squishables a squeeze.”
“Why call it five below if you are going to get new items to sale that more than five bucks & we are still very much in a pandemic something ain't rite I understand making more money but what about #WeAreInThisTogether motto we are suppose to have as a country. I mind as well go some place & pay regular price but than you put holiday stuff half price like then St Patrick Day tshirts & another thing there was a black guy working the Silver Spring location where I visit he was rude pushed my 1 item I purchased for under 5 bucks than snatched the money out of my hand. That's totally unacceptable meanwhile another young lady was on the phone while clearly at work I'm sure y'all pay her to work & not be on the phone I know she was working cause she went back to the register & said I can help the next guest. Yes I pah attention to everything especially when I'm spending money they I don't have again during a pandemic get it rite I will refuse 2 spend any more money here & that's a fact. Oh yes the associate that was rude his number 609026”
“Popped in to pickup something for my nephew while walking home. Great service, helped me find something for his interests, and beautifully gift wrapped the item.”
“The store is small and usually a mad-house. That said, I got my ears repierced there after letting them close up 20 years ago. Done today, they're perfectly centered and look and feel good so far. The woman who did mine had 3 years experience & was very helpful & patient. I was anxious going into it given prior reviews & my original piercings in childhood weren't even, 1 was always too low. I'm pleased w my experience today.”
“I see lots of bad reviews about Anthony but over the last couple weeks going to the Gamestop at Aspen Hill & Wheaton, he's been nothing but respectful and knowledgeable. Really helpful in terms of helping me with Pokemon card purchases.
My only con about the Aspen Hill location is it lacks a lot compared to other Gamestops. Not as many Pokemon and Yugioh card packs and products. The Funko pop selections are much more vast here compared to Wheaton though.”
“Three Littles is my first stop any time I need a gift for a baby shower or kids birthday (or honestly sometimes just a treat for myself). So glad to have this cute store around!”
