“I've had 12 custom framing projects done here in the past 2.5 years, and I could not be happier with how ever single one has turned out. The whole framing team there is awesome to work with and they are kind and professional. If there has been any issue with any of my projects, they've been totally willing to work with me to make sure it's fixed. I really appreciate them and I wouldn't go anywhere else. I also love their large selection of frames, mattes, and other choices for custom framing.”
“This place truly stands out from others very welcoming and friendly and you’ll be all taken care of pretty quickly, this business has a very positive and professional team”
“Always a good experience here - even when returning a glass carboy bought new yesterday that came out of the factory carton sporting a gouge in the glass (bad juju).”
“Visited and bought some books, Vallejo paint, and an Eevee mini for the wife. It was a packed store with a lot of fun finds! Prices are fairly priced for most of the store and I'm sure there are gems if you look ahead enough!”
“This coin shop and its owner are the best in the business. Peter (AND his staff) are very knowledgeable, professional, patient to answer a myriad of questions, have a fantastic inventory, will share with me directly what a distributor is charging to purchase the coins I am looking for, charges very fairly for coins he sells--the list of positives for this shop go on and on. Sometimes when I can't make it into the shop to ask questions because I can't fit it into my schedule Peter is always happy to answer my questions over the phone. His advice is so helpful when I am trying to make a decision on what to buy and when.
I can't say enough good things for the positive experiences I have had at Northshore Numismatics. Thank you, Peter!”
“I went to exchange a faulty screen printing kit, they were courteous and understanding. I appreciated the customer support. Will come back again for more supplies!”
“Absolutely knowledgeable in all sports cards and memrobilia. They welcome you and give you the best advice on selling. They are so good with trading and buying cards. Would recommend them to anyone who is in the hobby or just starting to getting in it. First class establishment.”
“Very cool owners and a nice little shop! They were super nice to my mom who called ahead of time to double check that product was in stock! Will definitely be going back for future purchases! :)”
“Our family loves Battleground! They're one of the few places that still carries Lorcana cards, and we're so happy they do. They're very kid friendly, and are always so kind. They've consistently gone above and beyond offering answers and solutions. Brianna has been especially wonderful, and has even given our daughter free promotional cards and stickers. They make our day every time we come in, and we're so happy to have such a great local game store so close by!”
“Fantastic store, spent over 1 1/2 hours looking around at the great selection of HO items. Was thrilled to find a Boston and Maine rail car and landscaping accessories.......so much better than shopping online. Very helpful salespeople.Very much worth the trip down from Maine!”
“Fair is Fair and when buying something as a customer or selling your own items that is what you will get...no hustle but all honesty!
Thank-you Charles, it was a pleasure being a seller with you”
“I’ve never done needlepoint before but decided to stop in and check it out, and I’m so glad I did. Lauren walked me through everything with so much patience and enthusiasm. She helped me pick out the perfect canvas and made sure I had all the right supplies without ever trying to upsell me. The whole team was so friendly and welcoming. They even taped up my canvas and got me completely set up to start. I never leave reviews, but this shop and the wonderful ladies who work there definitely deserve the praise. Highly recommend!”
“Knowlegable and trustworthy- Harvey, the owner, is certainly knowledge of coins. He was direct about the value of items left to me by a family member and paid immediately upon pick up of the collection. The impressive part of the interaction was that Harvey called me after he was back in his shop to say that he had found additional valuable coins under a velvet box insert and he was sending me an additional check for their value. That is a trustworthy trustworthy business person!”

“I just want to give a special thanks to the two wonderful staff members who filled and arranged a massive quantity of helium balloons for me last weekend. I know it was a lot of work and I really appreciate your patience and kindness. The balloons looked amazing (my 5-year old was overjoyed) and they are still going strong 5 days later despite the cold weather. Thank you!”
“What can I say...I LOVE Michael's and find myself feeling happy whenever I go there. They have every decorating, crafting, art, baking, party supply item you could possibly need. The prices are great. The staff is nice and helpful. I especially love coming in during fall, Halloween and Christmas times as the decorations are always so fun to look at.”
“Awesome card shop! Jim and his son are really nice people! They are so welcoming, friendly and are always excited about helping you when looking for the product you want. They are very knowledgeable! This store always has the best products and plenty of them, at good prices! I feel good buying here to know that I will be getting a good product and that I get to support such a nice guy in Jim! Really nice family owned business with kind-hearted people!”
“Very friendly owner. Great selection of boxes in a variety of sports and categories. The owner was very knowledgeable. Very simple shop that is straight to the point.”
“I like this location a lot. I could spend all day in here thinking about what new projects I want to start (and maybe actually finish!). The employees are friendly, knowledgeable, and are always happy to help. Also, I think the rewards program is great! I've gotten so many great coupons and vouchers to pay for my endless need for crochet supplies. (Everyone who knits and/or crochets knows that it always takes more yarn than you think, even if you already got extra! ?)
Overall, it's really a great store, but I'd be remiss to not mention a few minor grievances I have. First and foremost: CROCHET HOOKS! Where did they go?? It seems that the hook isle hasn't been restocked for at least 5 months. I'm always losing my small-guage Susan Bates in-line aluminum hooks with rubber grip, and I constantly need to buy new ones. There aren't even any alternative brands for anywhere near a reasonable price! I need all sizes 4.0mm and below.
I am loyal to certain brands, as are many customers. And that brings me to my second grievance. Why are all the good brands of yarn being supplanted by a crappy low-quality brand called Loops N' Threads. I need Caron Simply Soft (a few skeins here and there on the shelf, but no variety and the quantity is always scarce!). The other brands I like are the Caron "pound of love", but this store does not carry enough color variety or enough skeins that are the same dye lot. That is also true about my other favorite: Lion Brand. There is less variety every time I go. No consistency. Another important crochet supply I can't find at this store are waterproof foam blocking boards that fit like puzzle pieces. Am I missing something?
Don't get me wrong - I still love this store! When I'm bored, or I am babysitting my 6-year old niece, I go here and ALWAYS find some cool project to do, book to read or game to play. They carry many unique products and I always find novelties, gizmos and gadgets. I was very happy to find all kinds of slime kits (because that's our favorite!),beads, paints, coloring books, model kits, cake decorating gadgets, origami paper, stationary, clay, colored pencils, *gel pens*, paint markers, storage containers, candles, holiday decorations, lights, CANDY ?, and so much cool stuff for kids (to get them to stop staring at screens all day!).
My only other comment, and it's controversial to say this, but here it goes:
I HATE PAPER BAGS. I cannot carry home pounds of yarn and other stuff in those useless bags. Oh, you want me to pay for a cloth bag? We'll, I certainly would if you had them in stock. Last time I was there my only option was to buy a $5 durable plastic bag. I shouldn't have to pay for bags, in my opinion. What if I had purchased a canvas, white yarn, drawing paper, or something fragile and I walked him in a light drizzle? I'll tell you from experience that I never make it out of the parking lot without my bag tearing and my purchases sometimes getting broken or ruined. What are you guys thinking?? Give your customers a darn plastic bag! Maybe I'll be able to USE it and even RE-USE it! It's so absurd that you refuse to provide what is a standard, super-reasonable, necessary expectation at ANY OTHER STORE. I usually bring my own bag, but my trips here aren't always planned, and on my unplanned trips always result in more purchases, so... yeah...
I need quality plastic shopping bags, <4.0mm Susan Bates crochet hooks, blocking boards, and more variety of quality yarn brands, like Caron, Lion Brand and most importantly, Caron Simply Soft. Then I'll give you 5 ? s.”
“Although the store had everything that I needed, store personnel only pointed to the potential location of the items. Good supplies, poor associate interaction and support.
Several sale items were not priced.”
“Very nice little shop. They were friendly and helpful with the questions that I had. They didn’t have anything that I was looking for but it’s worth a visit for any collectors.”
