“This is a place where all your nerdy, anime loving dreams come true. Staff is very nice and helpful all the time. Overall a great place to shop for your nerdy/geeky crafty needs.”
“Highly recommend Rumi's Kitchen. It was my first time there and the server showed me the ropes to their menu and everything was so good. Reasonable pricing too and the portion sizes are LARGE.”
“This place is a rare find. Besides the Gamestops store out there The Game Zone is a Tier 1 level gaming store . Friendly staff, well knowledgeable on all levels of games , and anything related to gaming.. and Pokémon!!”
“Took my son here for the first time, he has been asking me since he saw their table at NA day event. He’s very into Pokémon cards right now. As we were browsing one of the gentlemen gave him a Halloween pack right away. We bought 3 packs and had a good conversation. As we were about to leave the 2 guys gave my son a whole stack of holographic cards for free. There ended up being a holographic gyrados in that stack of cards and my son has been hoping for that card in every pack he opens, it made his day. Great customer service and highly recommend. Great people. Thank you again!”
“I love that B&N is pet friendly. It's a great place to visit, browse for my next read, and take the fur-baby for a climate controlled walk through the aisles. If you or your dog get thirsty, you can stop at the Starbucks in the store for a drink and sit at the cafe tables or comfy chairs. My dog loved her pup-accino. Side note, taking a dog to such locations is also great for dog training, provided you hold the leash tight and remain aware of other dogs and people/children who may be fearful of dogs.”

“Absolute gem of a store. One of a kind. The employees are friendly and knowledgeable. They've ordered specific comics for me to the shop. They've kept me updated when they arrive. Fun store to walk around and get lost in nostalgia. Wouldn't get my comics from any other shop. Even if I was in a life-threatening situation, I'd still pick Zapp! Comics. Thank you to everyone who works there! Zap to the extreme!!”
“Great experience, very kind and helpful staff that seem happy and get along well with each other and costumers alike. I will say with Five Below as a whole it’s so frustrating that they changed their whole setup to be self checkout style, but now require a staff member to scan all your items. This is fine (especially for loss prevention) but the checkout should be rearranged back to a queue style. It’s kind of uncomfortable for the cashier to be looking over my shoulder at the pin pad while I put in my pin (by no fault of their own). Policy and setup should reflect the checkout style from corporate down”
“Just ordered chaise lounge outdoor tufted cushion replacement . It appears this is exactly what color and dimensions I want . Looking forward to receiving this order . Company has good offerings but a little more trouble to get through to placing order . Thanks !”
“Who doesn't love a bookstore! Thank goodness BN still exists! Otherwise, I would not be able to share my love of books and bookstores with my grandchildren. The best part for all of us (well, for me) is the toy section (telescopes, microscopes, you name it, it's there). The Grands also loved the children's book selections.
I must also mention the staff! They were very helpful and pleasant. In a world where customer service is almost nonexistent, I must give compliments where they are due! Please keep up the good work and great customer service!
Training is everything!”
“My husband Mike and I have been going to Level 1 Games for Magic the Gathering Commander nights on Thursdays and Saturdays for the past 6 months now. We love the friendly and welcoming community that Em, Cynthia, and the rest of the Level 1 team have fostered and have a blast every time we go!
Whenever we are looking to buy new cards and new decks, the customer service experience is professional and personal, and they have a great amount of inventory to choose from weekly. And they have all the best accessories like sleeves and deck boxes to choose from too!
We would recommend Level 1 to any MTG players out there looking for a truly fun and kind community that will accept them at any experience level they are at. We are so grateful to have found Level 1 Games and look forward to being a part of the community here for a long time ?”

“Awesome shop with a great staff. Super friendly and also very helpful. Went on FCBD 2024 & they made my experience so good! Brought a friend & he thought it was pretty cool too. Lots of books and collectibles especially Godzilla stuff!!”
“Nice little toy store and a lot more. They also have really cool figurines as well and villages for Halloween and Christmas. They have been around forever. Shop and support small businesses.”
“I love this store Open to 6 different locations.There are some items that you find in all of the stores but each store has different items Some cater to children some the home and pets the workout products have not been as good as they have in the past The gateway plaza has More of a selection. Haven't been there in a. while, So it may have changed. They used to have the candy from back in the day. I don't find it as much anymore.”
“Great selection for the whole range of childhood! Also lots of options in terms of prices and helpful staff. I will always remember the experience of shopping JKA during COVID times - I would just call or go up to the door, give them an idea of what I was looking for, and the staff made great picks for me!”
“We Enjoy coming to this location of Lego store. They have so many different items displayed to see what they look like once they put together. They had a wonderful variety of Lego pens that I have been looking for. The staff is very friendly and helpful in finding what we needed. Also very organized and clean.”
“We were in town for a wedding. It was raining and I needed to keep my 2 1/2 year old grandson busy. I saw Tons of Toys was only a 10 minute drive away so we went. It was perfect. We spent about an hour in the store looking. The cashier lead us to the finger skateboards. He was so polite and patient with my grandson. We left with a pack of skateboards and a rubber snake. Fun times.”

“Great shop to visit if you are into Funko Pops. As soon as you enter, you are surrounded by pops everywhere. Most shops just carry a million commons but Wize Guys carry a huge variety of pops from old to new. Definitely worth a visit!”
“So happy to have discovered Benny's! The products were very well received by the participants at our Women's Seder (stencils used for painting Timbrels) and I found the quality to be excellent. Shipping was very fast and prices are quite fair. I’m glad I found Benny’s! I will definitely order again.”
“Very personalized therapy fromoutstanding therapist. Location is great, facility is clean and open with nocrowding, efficient, pleasant receptionistA plus facility”
“When you walk in here you will feel young again. Two floors of toys, and an elevator! When I finally had the chance to see the store in person, I felt like a kid again. Before I went into the store I had consumed a Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich and my hands were greasy. The staff were kind enough to give me hand sanitizer to de-grease my hands. Whether you are 8 or 80, this place is worth visiting.”
“Everyone at the Secaucus Doll & Teddy Bear Hospital understands how important the objects we leave in their care are. My 29 year old bear was in need of stuffing, cleaning, and repairs. Ana and her team did an amazing job on the repairs while making sure that the essence of Teddy remained. They asked plenty of questions about what I did and didn't want. When I got him back after three weeks, I couldn't help but cry. He was clean, fluffier than I'd ever seen, and still most assuredly my bear. I can't recommend the Secaucus Doll & Teddy Bear Hospital enough.”
“Awesome place. Called ahead because I'm clueless about baby toys. She asked my budget, then put together a themed series of gifts within that budget. In and out in 15 minutes. I didn't explore around too much since I had a specific goal but I'll be back in the future. Wrapped the gift for free too!”
“I found this toy store totally by chance, and the customer service is great! They have a great selection of toys. I was able to order over the phone, they wrapped it for a birthday gift, and did curbside delivery! the staff were so helpful and made the process very easy.”

“I wish I could give this business more than 5 stars. The store is beautiful and the selection of toys is so, so good. Items are arranged very thoughtfully and I especially appreciate how the toys are inclusive of different races and ethnicities (dolls and books, for example). Owner Indira is so lovely. She patiently and graciously helped me navigate a challenging situation with my overtired 5yo! I will be back, for sure!”

“Kind of jammed with boxes, one of two registers didn't work and they over charged me for something with the sticker clearly marked. Wasn't the best experience.
Update- Much better! I'm happy these didn't have self checkout, like the other location near us. Fun stock of stuff you want but don't need, polite staff and clean store.”
“Great place. Great friendly guys. Loaded me early. Returned my call to c if I could load early. Courteous smiling people. This is gonna be a good day. Thanks Goffa!”
“I had a wonderful experience at Papillon Bambino! The woman who helped me was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, making the process of finding my daughter’s baptism dress so special and stress-free. The boutique has a beautiful selection of high-quality pieces, and the attention to detail is unmatched. I highly recommend this shop for anyone looking for elegant and timeless children’s clothing. I will definitely be returning for future special occasions!”
“Excellent engaged staff. Finally have Starbucks and B&N fully integrated. Sorry to see the loss of a floor. Loved how they got me a book I needed in a day or two that Amazon -didn't have...and no pressure to buy it. So, i read 1/2 in the store and enjoyed it enough to take it home. Great experience!! Pleasantly surprised!!!”
