“very helpful knowledgeable workers with great attitudes! Lots of really cool decorations and a huge dragon figure in the store. You’ll probably find what you’re looking for and then leave with lots more ❤️. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Their brand of yarn, I LoveThis Yarn, both acrylic and cotton is some of the softest yarn I've ever worked with. Plenty of color choices, too! They didn't have enough on hand of a color I needed, but I asked for a Raincheck, and had the yarn by the next week. They even honored the sale price.”
“The flags are great. Made in the USA like they should be. More things need to be made in America to continue to make this country self sufficient. The young man than worked in the store was very knowledgeable and helpful. Buy American!!!!!”
“Clay at Main Street Coin made evaluating and selling my coin collection easy. He was patient and informative as we examined and evaluated my collection. There was no pressure to sell, just clear explanation about what I had (or didn't) in my collection. Clay even helped me with some foreign currency from about 12-15 countries that I wanted to unload. I was anxious about what to expect from the process, but left feeling positive about our transaction. I recommend the services of Clay/Main Street Coin in Hyde Park.”

“I didn't catch the woman's name, but she was very kind,helpful, informative and I felt honest about the hot wheels I was asking her to appraise. I would definitely recommend o'smileys based on my experience there. I felt she was very honest about what I had and the value they hold. 100% recommend. Plus if you like vintage toys, they have a pretty substantial collection.”
“This shop was great! Staff was knowledgeable and made great recommendations for Christmas gifts that my family members loved. Definitely try out the mystery dice gum ball machine. We got fun patterns to add to our collection.”
“Alright I guess. Bought some of the coins I brought in but no explanation for how he came to his prices for my stuff and no personality to speak of. I hope he was fair for what I got for them. Apparently he knows every fair price for any and all even somewhat rare or out of the ordinary coins. But if I had significant doubts or issues I didn't have to let them go either. Maybe a little more friendliness or any sort of explanation would have been nice. Especially since he didn't have anyone else to help. But. Otherwise I can't really complain. Easy in easy out bam bam bam. If that's your thing”
“Workers in the arcade are amazing and run the arcade with a passion, they have a very good selection of games arcade, video game consoles, dnd, and tcg events and they care for the customer's experience.”
“My first visit to Knit On! was a success! They have such a huge selection here, a whole room of your natural fibers (like wool or cotton) and another room of acrylic and baby yarns. I was amazed at the selection given I am a beginner and have only shopped at Michael's Crafts for yarn. It's clear the yarns are high quality but they have some at every price point which is great. This place is so much better than the big box store where I've had a hard time finding a selection of wool yarn and things like safety eyes. Knit On! had everything I'd ever need for a project and a lot for inspiration too. There were some baby lovey kits and kits for scarves and other fun creations. There are cute pins and jewelry too! I liked how it was all well organized. The proprietor Nancy helped me and was very kind. She showed me where everything is and let me browse as I pleased. She also wound my yarn into a cake/ball for me and let me know they offer knitting lessons if I'd ever like to try! I enjoyed the visit and will definitely return for any special or nice project I want to make.”
“The one and only place I will go to in Cincinnati for buying and selling precious metals. The owners (Brad and Mike) have an incredibly vast amount of knowledge regarding coins and currency and the prices they buy at and sell to you is more than fair (and incredibly transparent). I even take our 3 young children there from time to time and Brad and Mike couldn't be any more kind and patient with them as they peruse the collection. Coins Plus is (some pun intended) truly the gold standard for coin shops in Cincy.”
“Went in for the first time recently. Good selection of items but Chris was the real star. He took the time to look my truck over and let me know what needed repaired as well as resoldering the battery connection for me. Will definitely be back!”
“Phil and his shop are awesome. I been selling here for 10 years Silver and Gold. Always treated wonderfully and talked shop and politics. I recommend this store over all I have been to in 50 years. It’s fun to just walk around and enjoy the many items in shop!! Thanks Phil for fair prices and being a friend…”
“Honestly the husband needs to be around when I'm here because otherwise I'd spend so much money it's not even funny, I enjoy it more on it's less occupied days,.”
“It's a card shop and that's mostlyit. The tabletop games are selective, but the card selection is massive.
Huge playing area, constant events.”
“Great service, Brad was very knowledgeable and gave a very fair price for the coins that I sold. He explained the values to me as he appraised them so I felt informed about what the collection was worth. Will definitely go back if I ever get more coins to sell and would recommend this shop to anyone else looking to buy or sell coins!”

“Been coming here a lot lately and it’s always a nice experience. Store feels very comfortable and has good vibes. I’m mainly interested in Pokémon cards and this is one of the few hobby shops that has a good selection of both modern and retro Pokémon cards. Staff are always kind and attentive. It’s nice to have such a good hobby shop in the mall.”
“I'm pleasantly surprised that a box store like this has professional in-house framers with some knowledge! I appreciated the framing work they did. They were helpful & efficient in the process.”
“If you want to have a lovely experience browsing canvases and fibres, find Jackie-Os (inside a beautiful jewelry store). Heather is delightful and absolutely knowledgeable about needlepoint. She also takes interest in what you are working or ready to stitch. A vast selection of silk fibres and canvases. I will definitely stop here again.”
“We recently had our home painted and had a piece of artwork that needed to be updated. It had experienced a minor accident several years ago, and the frame had been damaged. It was originally framed at Michael’s in the late nineties and had held up remarkably well. I was helped by Save. I brought paint samples from the room, and some ideas. Save showed me several frame options and helped me find two complementary mats. We also agreed on floating the top mat to add a bit of depth. We worked through the final details, and I left it to be worked on. I received a call on the day that it was promised and picked it up. It turned out remarkably well. The new frame and mats really brought it up to date and it was truly stunning in the room.”
“Best place in the area to go when getting into hobby. Can’t recommend it enough, the store manager is always willing to talk any and all things warhammer and gives excellent painting advice. He’ll even walk you through painting your first model to help set up good basic fundamentals before starting yourself!”
“Best for large-scale train parts. O size is most likely ho is small amount. Both new and used sold here. Nice atmosphere. Great for first-time or seasoned pro. Lots to look at.”
“I always receive wonderful service at this micheals, I would especially like to note that Tiffany and so helpful, she shows the kindness and care that I look for in a customer service employee, and honestly she deserves a raise. She was super sweet and helpful to both me and every other customer I saw cross her path in the store. Tiffany you rock!”
“The workers at the store are very nice. However, they do not have fabric. We came looking for fabric since Jo-Ann Fabrics is closed now. The internet said that Michaels has fabric, but this particular one does not.”
“So other than a couple super specific things that they don’t carry and I wish they would (i.e., metal sectional frames, canvas stretchers, blank stencil sheets, Montana spray paints) they have a great selection for most every crafty project you can think of. I usually go in with a purpose to pick up something or other, and leave with that along with supplies for at least two or three new hobbies.The absolute best kept secret is the “practice/ooops/abandoned/sample sale” frames in the back of the custom framing area (on the wall by the work table and employee work area) - they sell these professionally made custom frames for just $8 apiece *regardless of the size.* While there are no guarantees as to what they’ll have in rotation at any given time, I have picked up some downright massive high-quality frames as well as several matched sets for next to nothing on multiple occasions. The app is a good source of rewards and discounts, especially if you’re an educator, veteran, or first responder. Can also be worth swinging through the kid section for less expensive versions of certain craft supplies.”
“Was going out of town to visit nieces and nephews, got three toys from this store as I had in the past. Came home and heard that the bubble blaster didn’t last a week. My niece called and emailed store with no response even though I had receipt’s. I really want to support local but the store did not stand behind products and I was embarrassed that the toy I bought didn’t last 7 days.Update- stopped in the store after owner replied to my post. Brought receipts in and they sent a replacement out.”
“If anybody is into cars like models or RC this is the place u wanna go to. I felt like a kid there. A perfect place to learn about them too & even practice racing your RC cars on their track.”
“Morgan F was beyond helpful!!! She opened the door right at 12pm and I spent the next hour asking her so many questions. She was so patient and knowledgeable as I navigated my purchases. As someone who is getting back into gaming but also has a 5 year old nephew who is into gaming, I wanted to make sure that I bought the best console and games to maximize the experience and Morgan was amazing!”
“I totally recommend this place! I went to a couple of other places first but I just wasn’t satisfied with their offerings. Queen City rare coin made me feel confident and comfortable selling my jewelry. The staff were kind, helped me through the process and they paid cash! If you are looking for place to sell your stuff, this is the spot!”
