“Great customer service, clean, welcoming. Went in to buy a basketball. I was greeted promptly by a young man named Jakai I think. (I'm sure I misspelled his name). He was super helpful, friendly and competent! He even added more air to the basketball without my asking. He also showed me around the store which was super clean and well organized. The prices weren't as horrible as I they thought they would be considering it's right in the middle of Brookline village! I would shop there again because of the great customer service, cleanliness of the store, and nice atmosphere.”

“This place is so cool....especially the upstairs where it is filled with all kinds of gaming systems you can play for a small fee. My son can't wait to go back.”

Fortunately, a team member by the name of dolph gave us all the information we needed. He gave great customer service, answered every question we could think of and even gave us some stuff to think about in terms of what we might want in a stroller. He was very patient and kind, you could tell he really wanted to help, it relieved a little of the pressure of picking your first child’s stroller lol. If your in buy buy babys Braintree location. look for dolph, hopefully he still there. He was great and a big help for two newbies.”
