“Just left my first 5* review for the roseville ca location & i had no idea we had one here in nevada until recently and wow so cool! It was such a treat for the kids after school. Great store, great people.”
“OMG, please go visit and see for yourself - truly a destination and NOT a chain toy store. I'm a grandmother and took my visiting granddaughter. We were greeted by an engaging owner who kindly guided us to the perfect purchases. The butterfly princess dress has been worn non-stop, and her new dollie is her best friend. THANK YOU for offering educational and inspiring offerings that will certainly engage young minds. P.S. she had to tell mommy all about the store and the nice lady!”
“My son went to celBEARate his 1st in style +get his (Pay your Age) 'Happy Birthday' Bear (normally a $14ish stuffed animal value)! The nice thing being a mom of a toddler is you can go anytime during their birthday month vs only the day of, which is convenient as the days leading up to/surrounding my son's actual September birthday were chaotic, occuring 1 day after my wedding (side note he arrived early on our original wedding date+we reachedule while I was pregnant ?).
SERVICE/ATMOSPHERE: The store was busy, but we still got his stuffed bear in a fairly quick timely manner. He enjoyed seeing the wall of stuffies in the meantime. Only downside is its a small store for how busy it can get+ you may have to stand off to the side until other customers clear out. Having some level of patience is nerded. The employee helping us this day was sweet/friendly. As a parent I liked how they have a cute process of making it fun/sentimental with stuffing the Bear+with the heart you insert. (Ill be honest it had been like 22 years since I was in a Build a Bear myself, but I felt it still had some level of a magical feel to it with getting a somewhat 'personalized' stuffed animal there).
COST/FEATURES-WORTH IT?: We did pay to add a smell good SCENTiment heart (cotton candy-cost $5) and a light up 3 mode heart ($7.50). In total his bear (no clothing/no $ on carrying bags.. as he hugged it the whole way out) cost $19.62 after tax. While you can see the heart light up, you do have to kinda move the fluffier furr to the side in the birthday bear. You can smell the cotton candy heart up close, but in full transparency,
I feel that the smells/light featudes are for the initial experience and don't know if I would do the smell good SENTimenatal heart again or the $7.50 light up heart (If you do it maybe save it til they can understand and remember going+feel the love surrounded the building/dressing of their stuffie) (NOTE tshirts can cost $7-10ish), dresses and other items seem more. It obviously DOES get pricey as some stuffed items are like $30-$40 for the stuffed animal alone. I probably would do the sound option OR customizable voice message VS chosing a light up heart/smell good heart.
Obviously, It wouldn't be the place I get my kids' EVERY stuffed animal or even frequent yearly (in my personal opinion). With that being said, I still would rate the place/company 5 stars. I feel its an experience a kid should at least experience once as our stuffed animals are a cherished/sentimental part of our childhood. If you grew up frugal like me, something I can recommend for a build a bear or stuffie purchased elsewhere that you/your kid loves, find thrifted baby/toddler clothes for super cheap at a yard sale/thrift store to dress it up (including dog colors+tags like if a pet).. It was a considerable way to save money for me growing up/pay a fraction of the cost. Regardless, still consider 5 stars as a fun experience for little kids .”

“I absolutely love this place! So many options for new and older comic books for a variety of fans. Plus a ton of items for tabletop players. And with great customer service, this is definitely my favorite comic book shop.”
“Cute little store with cute little knickknacks, this'n'thats, and odds and ends. Also some whitty tshirts! Reminds of a hot topic, at least in layout, just aiming for a different theme than edgy/pop culture. More so sassy zillenial tumblr type, at least, that's the best description I could come up with.”
“I had my ears 2nd holes pierced here and they helped me with my original holes, I had scar tissue and skin grow over the hole after I had a spider bite on my earlobe, and they were able to re pierce it! Helen, the store manager was absolutely Wonderful! It was all super sanitary, and it's not the same "guns" as it used to be at Claires, it's a cartridge and the earring itself actually pierces your ear.”
“It's pretty much like shopping at Temu but in person. Most of the stuff is cheap junk but there are sometimes hidden gems. They have a good candy selection. The place was disorganized, but as it is December, I don't blame them. The staff was friendly.”
“Awesome selection and love the staff! I spend way too much on my TCG addiction, but they charge reasonable prices and they always have exactly what I want, whether it's Lorcana, Magic, Pokemon or just sleeves (I'm convinced they have every color of Dragon Shields). This is, by far, my favorite local game store!”
“Daniel was so awesome. We had problems with an online order. The CSR was unhelpful. So I went to the store. Problem : we live 3 hours away from Reno, the closest store. Instead of saying sorry can't help you, come back another time, he was so kind and understanding about our situation. He spent the time it took to check in with his manager to resolve our issue. I appreciate him so much and can't thank him enough. He's a rock star :-)”
“Haven't been in a game stop in years. Stopped in and Kevin immediately chatted me up. After a couple of questions he recommended the game that has fully brought me back to my love of gaming. I couldn't be happier!! Thank you for keeping amazing customer service alive!”
“The employees have always been friendly and have done their best to make sure any questions we have are answered. It would be nice if they had more than one employee working at a time, but maybe I'm just not going when that happens.”
“I have never been to the store but I called about these Labubu things that my step daughter wants. The lady who answered the phone Cassy was VERY knowledgeable about them. She even told me how to authenticate them. If I ever need to go to a toy store or ask any questions Toy N More is the place to go. I have been in customer service for approximately 25 years and Cassy did it right. She was kind, knowledgeable, hopeful, and helpful. She is a perfect example of customer service!? The owner should give her a raise or promotion.”
