“Hands down, the best shop I have been to anywhere. Whether your visit is to buy, sell, or trade in all manners, they are tremendously fair! Super friendly and always a great inventory to choose from. Don't hesitate to give them a visit!”
“I never walked into a shop that sells figures and been "wow good prices" until today. Also the worker was helpful with some questions we had which we appreciated :) not local but I definitely want to come back here one day”

7407 La Jolla Blvd, La Jolla“Barry was extremely responsive and empathetic to a miscommunication, helped me fix it, and has likely the most impressive and diverse inventory in existence. His pricing is also reasonable. He is prompt, kind, and extremely shrewd on historical details, market characteristics, and in dealing with both objects and people. Buying or selling, this is the place.”

5630-A Kearny Mesa Rd, San Diego“I'd like to share the wonderful buying experience we had at Olhausen Gamerooms. Brian provided first class service from showroom to delivery. First he patiently answered all of our questions as first time pool table buyers. In the showroom we could actually see the table we would be getting, and were able to order one customized to our exact preference. He accomodated a last minute change on the felt color and the final delivery and installation was very professional and timely. The table plays true and looks fantastic! This is the right place to shop for and buy a pool table.”
“Vertex has really grown and has continued to be a reliable and fun social setting for RC drift! Be aware that RWD is required; but they have rentals if you don’t yet have a drift RC car! ???”
“First time at Geppetto's toy store in La Jolla. What a find on Yelp! We stopped in to get gifts for the grandkids but I found quite a few things that I wanted. Geppetto's had games, toys, fidgets, gadgets, plushies, dolls, and everything else that a little toy maker could imagine. We bought a travel game for the grandkids called Guess Who. We also got some stocking stuffers for future use. Really had a good time perusing all of the toys.”
“I always want to buy everything in the store. If you're bored, just go to Michael's. Want your kids to stop whining about screen time, just go to Michael's. Want to give your mom a gift that isn't quite perfect, but will give her a big smile, go to Michael's”
“This store feeds my creative soul. I love coming here and going up and down the aisles, whether I'm seeking inspiration or on a mission to find specific items for my creative projects. My modus operandi is to search the website first to get ideas or to see if what I want is available in-store. Even when I order online and then drive over to pick up my purchases, I end up roaming the store to see, What else do they have? Staff is friendly and helpful. Prices are competitive. The shelves are well-stocked with a wide range of products in numerous categories, and I can't recall ever leaving here empty-handed or uninspired!”

1935 Calle Barcelona, Carlsbad“There are not many independent toy stores left but Geppetto’s really throws back to the bygone era of my childhood. Great selection of really neat toys. They have everything from big brands like Lego and Mattel products, to more unique and mindful and specialized toys that help develop the mind. Very spendy. Nice people!”

8990 Miramar Rd #150, San Diego“Every single person Who works at Ease cares about their job and it makes all the difference.

7644 Clairemont Mesa Blvd, San Diego“Very knowledgeable group of people in this store. From RC cars to drones and model building these guys are a great spot to check out. Huge inventory and if they don't have it they will get it for you. I just wish it was closer to my house but thats my problem.”
“I'm giving this location 5 stars because what the employees have to put up with, I truly don't understand majority of the people that come in here acting like it's some sort of thrift store trying to make a deal in a RETAIL store it's absolutely ridiculous!! The fact I've seen grown adults throw temper tantrums cause they want something honored blows my mind and makes me think that the people here haven't been to a store before or have done there own shopping. I truly can't express how such a nice neighborhood being filled with some of cheapest people I have ever seen in my life disgusts me. I'm sorry for the employees who look like they are mostly high schoolers getting yelled at by adults who should know better, way to set a example Encinitas, I've seen a grown man yell at a worker there for paint for rocks! Every time I go there someone is always trying to get prices lowered and the poor cashiers and supervisors can't tell these overgrown spoiled brats no. The workers are fine but the customers here can truly be disgusting and spoiled babies”
“Went to sell 4 semi-rare date coins today. I had a pretty good idea what I wanted and what they were worth to a coin dealer. I was in no hurry to sell. Had a great conversation with John and could not quite come to a deal. We ended up $200 apart on $5000 with of coins. He was fair and I could completely understand where he was coming from. He even called a colleague to tell them about my coins. I left feeling valued and respected. I was not the least bit disappointed. Though, I think he was. He really tried to make the deal work. The customer ahead of me had about $20 worth of common date stuff. John treated him the same as he treated me. That was nice to see. Next time I am in town I will bring some other coins in that I want to sell. This guy knows what he is doing and is friendly and fair.”
“I was introduced to this store by some friends and wow, I am impressed. They've got tabletop games and dice, they've got miniature combat game stuff, They've got a glorious collection of board and card games.... there is even a pre-owned game section with some pretty great options if new games are out of your budget.
There are also tables for playing your own games or one you borrow there. No one made us feel even slightly unwelcome for playing several hours worth of games.
It's clean to include the bathroom and the music is great but not too loud. The staff know their stuff- I had a few questions about stock and they could answer without looking for most of it.
10/10, this should be your local store.”
“Josh, a framer, was incredibly helpful! A few years ago I purchased a custom frame from Michaels and when I went to replace the photo, the matte was glued to the foam board. I went into the store for some guidance and Josh spent nearly a half hour salvaging the matte so that I wouldn’t need to purchase a new custom size matte to fit the frame I purchased from them a few years ago. Excellent service! Thank you so much, Josh!”
“What a great business with friendly staff. They helped me search through many cases of Morgan Dollars and helped authenticate a few of my own. Highly recommend First National Bullion”
