“A great place to just chill and read, have a cup of java, very easy to find what you need!! My favorite store!!
Also got to meet my favorite author last night, Douglas Preston!”
“Newtown HQ, you have my heart <3 This store is so lovely and has such a wide collection of all cute things I want to gift and buy for myself haha
I came on my birthday to get a couple of blind boxes and was obsessed with the ones the owner recommended. Such sweet hospitality, felt so welcoming. Will be back soon!”

“I recently celebrated my birthday in American Girl NYC. I'm a young adult doll collector from Europe and I'd been dreaming of getting the full AG experience since I was 8 years old. It was all I had hoped for!!I went with my best friend and the service at the New York Cafe was brilliant— our server, Christian, was incredibly nice and fun, and made our inner child feel positively spoiled. A true professional! Special thank you to him and Keyshawn for singing happy birthday and making our experience so much better. I had an amazing time and made some lovely memories. Until next time, American Girl!”
“FAO Schwarz was a nice toy store. It is large and well organized, and the staff is friendly and helpful. We went here for the Jellycat Diner, and I have to say that it was very fun and cool. However, if you want to experience it you need to make a reservation a month or two in advance. Also, there may be a line to get in as we experienced, so just keep that in mind when planning a visit here. A negative is that it can get quite crowded inside, but other than that there isn’t too much to complain about. I would say it is worth a visit if you are in New York and love toy stores, or are especially a fan of Jellycats.”

“Love to go there - amazing selection - but you have to understand the experience. It contains a HUGE selection of games, and RPG books. Might be the most in NY State outside of the huge Millennium games up in Rochester. I've found items that have been out of print for years, or had small production runs.
BUT...
Stacked in huge shelves that stretch from floor to ceiling. It takes a while to read through everything! With tiny aisles that barely have room for one person to walk down. If you're claustrophobic, be warned!
It's almost all at MSRP. Not a place to get a bargain or a deal, generally (that said, they do have a bargain shelf at the back of the store. Right hand aisle, left side all the way back).”

“the most special little pocket of a craft store i had ever hoped to find. forget michael's, artist & craftsman supply has an immense variety of what you need to make art, and you'll be supporting small business! i went in just for some spools of embroidery thread, and not only did they have a huge spectrum of colors, but i must have left with two armfuls of craft supplies - as someone who loves to always be creating new things, that's how i know I'll be coming back forever!!”
“Great gift shop, has all the regular stuff you’d want to find, but the prices are fair, and the staff are very friendly and kind.
We even got a holiday gift of a free magnet.
Kevin who I believe is the owner is super nice and definitely deserves the credit!”
“It was a great experience as the cashier and everyone in the store was very friendly and chill and the wide amount of comics and manga's, toys, and others is just great and I'm happy on my Asuka soryu figure. Great experience defiantly recommend!”
“Johana was very kind to my child . She asked them questions so she knew what book they were looking for, and she gave them very good choices to choose from. My child was completely comfortable around her. This employee is very nice, and welcoming with her customers.”
“Beautiful store! Everything was clean, and organized the staff was very kind and friendly.
The kids had so much fun, especially at the Build a Minifigure station where you can build 3 minifigures for $9.99. They loved choosing all the different parts and putting them together.
It's a lovely place for kids. Mine didn't want to leave and wanted to take half the store home. Definitely worth stopping by if you're in the area.”
“The cashier was super friendly and super helpful! She gave a simple and clear directions for the book I was looking for. The store is super clean and the little hand written blurbs about certain books are a great window into what the books are about. Great place to go book shopping!”
“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!”

“We ordered Curved Organic Balloon Columns in our school colors, and the name of our school, for our Gala and they were absolutely perfect! In fact, they were better than we could have asked for. Thank you so much to Tiffany and the Balloon Saloon team for all of your help! Tiffany, specifically, was fantastic and got to our order inquiry promptly which was greatly appreciated as our event was fast approaching. We will certainly work with Balloon Saloon for future events!”
“Great local comic book shop in the fashionable Greenpoint Williamsburg area just a few minutes from a subway station.
The shop is not large but full of back issues as well as newer comics, cards, and toys.
I come mainly to chat with the friendly staff and use their very convenient comic book pressing service !”
“10/10 experience the selection is wide and unique for the small space. You can find toys for all ages in there at a decent price! Plus I was being indecisive over a fidget toy and they let me open and and play with them after asking of course! They even tried it out themselves 😆 I also found some good needoh type of squishies in here got a hyland cow for 4 dollars and my fidget spinner for 8! You can beat that right now at all. My daughter got 2 sensory toys as well and she was very happy about it. Definitely recommend this shop to everyone and can't wait to come back on my next trip to the city.”
“i freaking love this place. really great place to buy last minute gifts or when you need a little treat after a long week. i love taking visitors here too.
i’ll never forget when i asked if they sold those blind box cat hats & they didn’t have them on display at the time, but they brought them out from the back for me :)”
“It was a pleasure to visit this place. The owner and I have had a relationship for more than 30 years, and he is truly the best technician. He always knows exactly what I need, and most importantly, he is very honest with his customers. His integrity and expertise make every visit a great experience. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for reliable service!”
“If your a Disney fan or your kids have a buzzing stop here in a lighting speed.
To tell the story to your kids after their get their toys.
As their one is a magic experience you can not miss.
Lovely things to see And get.
For yourself or family.”
“Sometimes you don’t need endless choices or big shiny stores. Sometimes you just want something real.
This is one of those authentic local shops that truly deserves support. It’s a neighborhood staple with heart, character, and a genuine purpose behind it. You can feel that this place matters — not just for business, but for the community.
And if you’re shopping for kids? You’re in the right place. They have more than enough toys to make little faces light up.
Highly recommended if you value authenticity over hype and want your purchase to actually mean something.”
“Biggie's is great! The owners are super lovely and run it themselves. Their dog, Biggie, is super cute. Often there's people playing chess outside- it's pretty rad.
Inside is a vintage lovers paradise, or more specifically, a vintage smokers dream. They specialize in refurbishing old lighters, ash trays, and smoking sets. Trust me, they're awesome. If you're not a smoker, they have old magazines, game sets, and old-style soda. If you'd like to become a smoker but are scared, they have candy cigarettes. Sick!
Anyway, I like to pop by whenever I'm in the neighborhood. You should pop in, too.”
“I love this place
The workers are amazing especially the ones that work on Fridays
Amazing people good vibes inside the store feels like a community together always have product with amazing prices .
Thank you !”
“I was here years before as a tourist and bought some very cute cloths for my niece :) I'm very happy to see your store still existing because it was right when the pandemic hit the city. Wish you guys all the best!!”

“I am writing this review for the online customer service. Out of all the physical and online stores I went ahead and ordered everything I possibly could for my baby from albee baby exclusively. Their good deals, fast shippings, amazing rewards program, and most importantly customer service support was what I liked the most! Elon, the representative, was THE BEST representative ever. He was very knowledgeable, caring, very detailed oriented and he is the main reason I ended up ordering everything from albee baby. He helped me a lot , thank you Elon”
