Toy Stores in Williamsburg, VA

“Fantastic store with very high-quality toys and gifts! Prices are very reasonable and I love to buy from small business when I can. I live out of town, yet they took the time to help me pick out the perfect birthday gift! I’m so impressed with their exceptional customer service. The owner and staff truly care and it shows. I have found my new, go-to favorite children’s store and I’m excited to let everyone know! Great experience.”

“Huge variety of merchandise with really good prices. It almost reminds me of going to a flea market with great prices on brand new stuff. I enjoy walking around and getting ideas for things a week as buying good stuff cheap.”

“Amazing place to browse; they seem to have a little bit of everything! I wanted to bring home some little gifts/souvenirs for my four grandchildren, and this is where I wound up getting them. They have good-quality wooden toys and games, including wooden hoops and sticks to roll them. The lady behind the counter was very pleasant and very patient as I went back and forth trying to figure out what to get for each child, as well as getting a couple of things for myself. I'm looking forward to visiting this shop again on my next trip to CW!”

“Well stocked location. Friendly staff. Nice cafe, very nice barrista, made a perfect latte, fast and efficient. It was near closing time and still great service. We're going back.”

“A Review of Tarpley, Thompson, and Company of Williamsburg, Virginia
By a Fellow Tradesman and Purveyor of Fine Garments, Anno Domini 1694

Good Sirs and Gentlewomen,

Permit me to set down a few words concerning that most reputable house of commerce, Tarpley, Thompson, and Company, whose establishment doth adorn the fair streets of Williamsburg as a pearl upon a silken string. Having long plied my own trade in the noble art of apparel and haberdashery, I hold myself no stranger to the temper of commerce nor to the whims of the genteel public. Thus I speak with authority when I proclaim: never have I encountered a shop so well-appointed, nor merchants so well-mannered, as these gentlemen of Tarpley and Thompson.

Their wares are of the choicest sort — broadcloth of rich hue, linsey-woolsey woven tight and even, buttons of pewter and brass that catch the candle’s gleam as bright as morning dew. The lace, methinks, could tempt even a Puritan to vanity; and their gloves, soft as a dove’s breast, bespeak both comfort and civility.

What most commendeth the Company, however, is their honesty of dealing. They will not puff up their prices nor gild their words with deceit, as too many shopkeepers in this new world are wont to do. Nay — their measure is fair, their cut exact, and their courtesy sincere. A man may trade there and keep his conscience clear.

I say unto all who journey through Williamsburg — whether planter, parson, or gentleman of leisure — if thou desirest apparel fit for respectability, repair at once to Tarpley, Thompson, and Company. There thou shalt find civility, quality, and the pleasing scent of honest trade.

I remain,
Your humble servant in cloth and commerce,
E. B.,
Master Tailor and Merchant of Fine Apparel
Williamsburg, the 14th day of October, Anno 1694”

“Grand daughters love getting new stuffed bears. Also repaired one tired kitty that needed some sewing and a new speaker box. Fun stuff. I hope to get one that looks like my dog.”

“Bricks and Minifigs has become a go-to spot for our family. They have a wide selection of hard-to-find items, replacement pieces, new sets, and retired sets. My kids love to go in and browse, but more often than not, come away with a treasure. While some of these things could be found online, nothing replaces going into a local store, chatting with the knowledgable owner, and keeping places like that in business - the community is better for it.”

“Our Guide, Matt (9/10/24) was extremely knowledgeable and brought history and the local culture to life! Incredible value! Lunch was fantastic! Please pass on to Matt...in regards to statue of George Washington in Yorktown museum (consider Isiah 2:4). Thanks so much for a fantastic day!”

“7/19/22...I love board games, so every chance I get, I stop at one of these stores. I'm the "Queen of Clearance Shopping", so that's exactly where I went to, the clearance section. I found two games on clearance, as well as some 2023 calendars on sale. The cashier was very friendly. She even told me I could save a few dollars by signing up for texts. I appreciated the sale and also saving a few dollars by using the coupon she mentioned to me.”
