“I was there on Thurs, Jan 8. In the afternoon. I was just buying a few things. And the man managing the registers (a young, tall, black man. I'm describing him so he gets credit.) was such a kind, nice, courteous. guy. Just one of those people with good energy about them. I wish stores knew more how important it is for people at check out to be friendly to customers...and what a difference it makes. They don't have to be over friendly, but some people that check out, don't even acknowledge you. It's just as important as the product and price point. It's your experience at the store.”
“We bought the Nuna Lumn from Bebeang Baby, they ship and deliver the car seat very quickly. Our kid loves the car seat, installation was easy. Highly recommend buying products from Bebeang Baby!”
“Loved our experience here! Had zero prior knowledge of strollers, and needed one in the coming days before baby arrives. Not only do they take the time to explain all the different products, they were patient with us when we were going back and forth between brands. Plus side is they are great with communicating on your order and not shy with letting you know about ongoing deals! Thank you Kyle and Eunice, highly recommend Queens Baby!”
“By far the best hobby shop around NYC, has been for ages, not many left. Amazing selection of rc cars, planes, boats, model trains and loads of diecast cars of all makes, models and sizes.
Worth the trip, staff are also super friendly and helpful.”
“Came in here on a whim with my 3 year old looking for cars and from the moment we walked in the staff was so friendly, helpful and kind. We spent a lot of time there browsing before my son finally decided on his cars and never felt rushed or unwelcome. Truly a gem to find and they had so many collectibles, figurines and other toys.”
“Went here a few months ago and was blown away by the spaciousness! Definitely more expensive than the other arcades and be prepared to spend more money. However, the merch and plushies are official and licensed, as far as I know this is the only arcade in flushing that does not have bootlegs so that may explain the higher price tag. I will say, I really liked the Lunar New Year promo they had and they should definitely have similar events more often to offset the difficulty and high cost-but at the same time, it's still skill and luck based!Machines are definitely harder, but ask employees for help! The last time we went, we were trying to win a derpy looking dinosaur, and it was very difficult (claw was too weak and plushie was very big and chubby) and the worker helped us reposition. The app did glitch and take away 2 tries for us that we weren't able to play, but the same worker helped us (I never got her name but she had glasses!). She was very encouraging and sweet and helped us win it!”

“I love shopping here and the employees here are very friendly and always helpful . People who have made complaints about how they are treated poorly maybe they should have stopped and think hey maybe I deserved the poor treatment from the employee/s and don’t be a stickler and always expect to be greeted the minute you walk in.You are not a KING or anything ?. So be mindful of your actions first before pointing fingers at others.”
“The owners know all their products and are very experienced with importing merchandise that otherwise might be difficult to attain here in the States. From Transformers to Gundam, from Power Rangers to Ultraman, from One Piece to Jujutsu Kaisen, they’ve quite literally have it all. My brother and I will be frequenting this spot quite a lot in the near future and I hope anybody that is even remotely interested in shopping collectibles or hobby items that you will give this place a chance and fall in love with the atmosphere as did my brother and I!!”
“I celebrated my daughter’s 3rd birthday this past Saturday, and she is still talking about her amazing party! The owner, Danielle, was incredible throughout the entire process and made everything seamless. She went over every detail to ensure my daughter’s birthday was absolutely perfect.
The two ladies who worked during the event were so helpful, professional, sweet, and incredibly welcoming. They made sure everything ran smoothly and that our guests felt comfortable.
My guests loved the venue, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking to host a special and memorable celebration!”
“I absolutely love the pharmacy! The attention I receive is unmatched. I appreciate the communication about my refills and the staff is so friendly. Best pharmacy!”
“This is my favorite. Barnes & Noble. I ever went to. It felt like a luxurious resort setting with a nice outdoor area. It was a great retreat someplace I could imagine spending a lot of time just hanging out at. I’m glad I’m a few towns away. I’ll probably be back.”

“Great store to buy or even just look at nostalgic items. Be warned, you will end up buying some cool stuff.I also ended up having my vehicle serviced at the same place. My car was well taken care of, and I was treated fairly. I will be back again with my other vehicles, and I will recommend this auto repair to all my friends.”
“Incredible pharmacy and staff!! They are so caring and they provide an amazing service. Especially Kayley, who is an intern, is the best, she is always so helpful!!Thank you OnPoint Pharmacy for everything you do!!”
“Came here with my husband on Sunday and it was so nostalgic for us. It took me back to my childhood and I enjoyed walking all throughout the house. Dan was really nice and chills and made us feel comfortable.”
“I know what you're thinkin': can all these five-star reviews be real?! Look, I can't speak for the others, but this one sure is!We went into TP Toys looking for some toys that would keep our 8-month-old occupied on her first long road trip. Kemesha, the owner, walked us around the store and helped us find some gems. We even doubled back for a new Duplo set just 'cause it was so dang cute.We live a couple towns over, but we'll definitely be repeat customers! I see why they've been in business almost a decade - what a lovely shop!”
“Awesome place , definitely recommend going for more than one visit
2026:great store i really enjoy coming here i vist twice a week to see what they have in stock , definitely recommend”
“KJ’s corner is truly what gives small businesses their good rep. not only is it a nice clean one-stop-shop, but also super local and friendly too. Their variety of options on balloons is what really caught my eye. Karli has the talent of bringing a vision to life (which can be hard to come across these days). Also a huge plus is seeing the cutest dogs while you shop! 10/10 would recommend coming here, and I will most definetely be coming back for all my gift and balloon needs !!!”
“Great selection of gunpla and other anime figures, very helpful and kind staff. The woman at the cashier today was super super helpful and very kind, I wish I got her name. She totally made my day!”
“Nice little bookstore, not an enormous selection, but they have a lot of current books, and some best sellers, and you can always ask them to get the book you're looking for. I usually find at least one book I'm interested in. Good children's section in the back as well, with cushions for the little ones to sit at and read. The people working there are always very friendly and helpful.”
“Love Womrath's!! They have a small selection, but they are always able to order any book I need! I would recommend going here for books than any other place! Everyone is super nice, especially Barbara, and it's great to support local businesses!”
“Been Coming To This Place On And Off In City Island For Years.
Paul The Owner Is Fantastic !! And Nicole Always Welcomes Uou In Eith Open Arms...And Her Doggie Pal Nonook Always By Her Side.
Always So Many Different Items To Buy...Or Just See
Love Them ?”
“On one of the worst days of my life where my son was just out of control - two women who work at this store - Vickie and Stephanie showed me kindness and compassion when most people just judge and ridicule . I will never forget them and what they did for me yesterday . This company , this store , and the people working there deserve nothing but the best . These women were two angels and Lego is a good company with people that care about the special needs community in a real and meaningful way”
“Awesome toy store! Always filled with amazing items. Perfect for when you need a gift for holidays or birthdays! Staff is always friendly and the wrapping option is a nice touch!”
“Karen was such a help in choosing gifts for my brother (an adult with multiple disabilities). He and his group-home housemates were delighted with her choices and one of the staff thought they would be perfect for her special-needs relative. I was glad to pass along your address and Karen's name.”
“Birthday gift for my son and he was thrilled!! Price was great and better than Amazon. Shipping was free. They keep Lego sets and lots of choices. He went straight to it after school today too.”
“These people absolutely rock! Just heard of them today and went, loved the experience the gentlemen went above and beyond to help me find a charger for my revo 3.3 after I looked everywhere and no luck. and also got me a quart of fuel for a good price. Came all the way from Bronx New York costumer 4L now!”

“I get a bit nervous when shopping online at a retailer I have never used before. I could list a number of places NOT to use.
PopnGames was excellent. I received my shipment only a few days after ordering. It was packaged well and in great condition.
Recommended.”

“No weekend is complete without a run to 5 Below. It's always for something that's needed like a phone charger cord and then I wind up seeing so many other things that I feel like I must have. This location is usually pretty well stocked and the staff is friendly. Every once in a while they're short handed up front but they seem to make it work. On this trip I got pillows and a throw for my guest bedroom because they were super cute and affordable. I also bought another bookcase/organizer because I used one of theirs for my pop up shop set up and it works really great. Even though some things are more than $5 most of my items were actually $5. If you have a very small child, I'm warning you they have lots of cute toys and a lot of candy especially near the checkout so either prep them before you go in or don't bring them.”
“This is a wonderful store beautifully stocked with many attractive and fun toys. The owners are very welcoming and create a fine atmosphere. Very impressive!My 5 year old son always looks very forward to visiting there anytime.”
“Learning express is the perfect toy store to go and get a birthday gift since they wrap!! Love it! And the girls who work there are always kind and ready to help!”
