“Been here a few times and the shop owners always greet me like family. I can never walk away without buying anything from this shop. Prices are really fair and they have a wide selection for retail rippers.”
“I popped into Comic Quest last night on a whim, wanting to dive back into Magic: The Gathering after a long hiatus since high school. I wasn’t quite sure what to expect, but let me tell you, I left super impressed!
From the moment I walked in, the staff were incredibly welcoming and helpful. They took the time to explain how the game has evolved over the years, which was a lifesaver since I was pretty rusty. They also filled me in on an upcoming pre-release event – sounds like a blast, and I’m definitely considering joining!
What really stood out was how patient and enthusiastic they were. They gave me some solid tips on how to get back up to speed, which made the whole process a lot less intimidating. Plus, they recommended a starter kit that I ended up purchasing, and it’s been great for getting back into the game.
Overall, I had an awesome experience at Comic Quest and I definitely recommend them!”
“As always it was a great trip to treasure chest collectibles:) Picked up some singles and a Arceus Figure Collection Box for the cosmic eclipse pack at a Great Price as well! I was planing to look for the new crimson haze singles but while i was looking, the owner gave me a pack to open and i pulled the lana's assistance SAR from it :D Such a nice place from vintage to modern pokemon cards. If you haven't already, go check this place out! Have a Great Day!”
“This place is great! I can't believe how much memorabilia they have. Stan the owner was very helpful and knowledgeable. He even gave my son a Troy Gloss baseball card for free. I definitely recommend!”
“Not only is it a safe and inviting store. They also have the best prices and give the best offers Compared to every other Coin and Jewelry exchange store in Orange County. You're likely to get 25-50% less at other stores. Christiasn is just a stand-up guy!”
“A crazy little store in the heart of Laguna that has a great selection of art supplies and other things.I was surprised but the school and community requires it.Many thanks,”
“The new interim store manager (Evan) is very friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about introducing this incredible hobby to anyone who walks into the store. Great location, and I can’t wait to visit again.”
“I’m from NY and have visited this shop while visiting a friend who has moved out here. Of the two times I’ve visited I can tell the owners are passionate about gaming. Magic and Monsters has loads of singles, booster boxes, accessories, and collectibles for all the top games ( magic, yugioh, pokemon) the store is kept clean and doesn’t reek of nerd BO I’ve been all too familiar of smelling at other stores over the years. The owners were also robbed and still keep up a friendly positive attitude which I commend them for. Tournament prizing and sign-up prices are standard. Singles prices are also competitive with TCG Player . Good store for a visitor. Can’t speak on if it’s the same experience consistently however.”
“Hobby Lobby is the epitome of a well set up and managed store. They a clean, well kept up, organized store with tons of good quality stuff. They are larger than most other stores and have mostly everything you could ever need. Maybe the best part of the store is two things, 1 they have mostly everything you could need for any hobby. And two they do holiday decorations like no other. Almost no one can touch their Christmas selections. That is their super power.
And it’ll you want to decorate rooms with wall art and decorations, they rock that too.
I can say there are specialty stores that can offer more for example, art supplies are owned by Art Supply Warehouse or models at Brookhurst Hobbies. But they are far away and that’s all they specialize in. No Hobby Lobby is everywhere, convenient, and has almost everything you could need for almost every hobby there is. And you can decorate any room is almost any style.”

“I love this store and Lisa is very help full and nice. And for that remark 3 months ago taking care of yourself and helping your family should always come first.”
“I love the repertoire of merchandise they have, there is a wide variety of departments with good options at very good prices and their holiday offers are incredible”

34181 CA-1, Dana Point“This place is the reason why my jewelry making skills have skyrocketed. I can spend all day in here, I'm so sorry if I only buy a few things but I just can't help but stare and touch all of those BEAUTIFUL stones!! I've learned so much about different semi precious gems through this store, as the woman who owns it has an insane collection of strands of things you've never even seen before! And i can't help but notice she has different strands of things, even the same beads, every time I visit. Speaking of this woman, who I'm assuming is the owner, she is a pleasant, beautiful woman who knows her craft VERY well. I love it here. I wish I could go here every single day. As soon as I hit the lottery or something, this is my first stop!!! I love you OC Beads! I do splurge sometimes so here are some of the gorgeous stones I've bought from here. There's laramar, Morganite, blue Moonstone (expensive but worth every penny), pink opals, LOTS of rhodonite (my favorite) and various pendants. I really really love this store very much!”
“Extremely helpful. More expensive than I thought for matting but the sales person was very helpful in coming up with an affordable set up for a framed & matted gift for a friend of mine.”
“Great little store with very accommodating staff! The plushes are on the pricy side, much cheaper to buy it online or in stores like Target. But the variety is great and the overall vibe is a 10/10”

25462 El Paseo, Mission Viejo“This store is always very organized & the staff is very helpful. Jake, especially, is very professional & takes the "extra step" to assist customers.
Great customer service!”
“Michael’s as a corporation and company is nosediving, but at least the employees here are great, earnest people just trying to help artists and crafters create.
PS CHANDLER IS GREAT”
“Amber Connelly the cashier was simply amazing. She took care of my complicated return request with the utmost respect and care. Beyond that, she even went out of her way to walk me over to the aisles and explained the different options available for my mother's first art class. She was helpful, genuine, and representative of the awesome reputation Michael's has. I will definitely be making this my go-to store for art supplies.”
“Frames came out great but I was never notified they were ready. I had to call in several days later after the predicted time to ask if they were ready and turns out they had received the frames earlier than the expected time frame. I never even got an email they were ready either. Regardless the employees were great, I think their systems should be updated to make their lives easier.”
“QUICK STOP ! Our first time here. My wife and I popped in here around 2.30pm on Friday to pick up a couple of things..some brilliant white fabric paint and a couple of baking accessories. It was as dead as a cracker inside despite the parking lot being jam packed. YOU GOTTA WONDER !”
“I am a huge fan of Michaels. Especially for your framing needs. There is so many selection of frams to choose from as well as the option to customize it. Staff here is super friendly and very knowledgeable. I like when the staff cares and helps you find affordable solutions to your framing needs. Other sections of the store not as organized but I tend to check out their Clearance aisle for fun.”
“Love love love Somerset Studio. Have considered a number of their other magazines as well. It's been very inspirational for me as a mixed media artist.Just recently I sent in a small artwork for consideration in one of their issues. Will see how that goes.Excellent magazine if you love arts and crafts!”
