“I was very excited to find a TCG and Sports Card shop in Milpitas. They are located on Main Street right across from the Sandwich Shop. The gentlemen that own and run the store are inviting and are great to work with. The store carries multiple popular TCG and sports cards. This includes Pokemon, Magic the Gathering, One Piece, and all major sports. They carry both singles, slabs and sealed product which makes it a very good location as a one stop shop. I mostly purchase Pokemon cards, so i will only comment on these. Their prices are in line with market pricing. This goes for sealed, slabs and singles. They do carry vintage, mid era and modern cards singles, which it caters to a larger group. For sealed product, they usually have the current sets available and occasionally have some products of older sets. ETBs, Booster boxes, and the various tins/collection boxes are readily available. They recently started to carry Japanese booster boxes, which has been great for myself. Overall this is store provides a great value, as a one stop card shop. They carry something for everyone. Employees are great and will work with you. I never felt out of place as someone new walking into the store, which i feel is the biggest compliments a hobby store can have. I would recommend to anyone, whether you are already deep into the hobby or someone completely new.”

“This is the best location I've visited hands down! This location has more inventory than i'm used to. There were a great deal of items that were on clearance as well! The t shirt section was STOCKED! They even have colors I've never seen in stores. I've become so accustomed to empty shelves at this point. This location is what other Michael's should strive to be.”

“Good variety of products from different series! I came for pokemon and the seller was nice to negotiate with me when picking up multiple singles. Be sure to check conditions if it matters to you. Maybe could use a little more organization or space.”

“The best Pokemon card shop in town. They have a pretty big selection of graded cards and binders to help complete your collection. The people who work there are great ambassadors for the hobby. The shop is a fun hangout spot--check it out! Oh, and ask for Buddha”

“This store...where do I begin? Open your imagination to include all the many needs you never would have considered possible to be fulfilled by a plastics retailer. Whether it is a display box for memorabilia, a picture frame of museum quality, a replacement part for a boat, clear roofing for a pergola, an All-Gender restroom sign, mold making materials, fiberglass for boat and car repairs, signage displays...I could go on for awhile, still failing to capture the extent of this store's possibilities. The service is fast and it is done professionally. A mistake, while uncommon, is corrected with haste. The price - for the quality, speed, and accuracy (that is, in how they turn what was once only a dream into reality) - is well worth it. TAP is unmatched in the plastic retailer marketplace; no other store can come close.”

“Picked up a cookware here. The older gentleman who works here is the most precious thing ever. As I was heading out, he shared with me how to use my tamagoyaki pan and to “YouTube” videos to learn. I also overheard his interaction with a child who broke something she purchased. And this man tried to calm her down, even saying he will give her another one/whatever she dropped and broke.This is a neat store to check out. Lots of interesting old anime stuff, like magazines, manga, DVDs….you can spend quite a bit of time looking through their inventory. They also sell a fair amount of other Japanese goods such as tea and sake sets, plates.Prices are fair. And the exact pan I got here was $2 cheaper than another Japanese store around the corner.”

“What a first-rate shop! The owner and staff are great folks. There is a chill vibe. The supply of prebuilds seems extensive and they have lots of parts available as well, RJ was helping someone find just the right part while I was there. It seems like a community shop.”

Staff is knowledgeable and can make good recommendations based on what you are looking for. They also have a game area where you can play the scheduled games.”

“My family and I have been to Nor-Cal a few times now. My son and I are modifying our crawlers. Words cannot express our gratitude and appreciation and how supportive the staff (and even the regular customers!) are willing to help my teenager with his questions. They are very friendly and take the time to explain what is happening and how to fix the issue with the RC. They are part of what encourages him to continue with this hobby and to keep learning. It's really nice to see my son learn and in turn let them know that he is taking in all of their knowledge and advice. We are so happy to return now on a regular basis because of the friendly atmosphere and expert knowledge and support a local business. We highly recommend Nor-Cal Hobbies for their knowledge, patience and family friendly environment.”

“Came here for some card supplies and got exactly the help I needed. Looked around and they offer quite a variety of supplies, cards by the pack (or box) and some sports memorabilia as well. I asked a few questions and they took their time answering them and let me browse around without pestering me even though I only spent a few bucks. My only suggestion is to be careful with some of their autographed stuff, as I didn't see the accompanying certifications you'd expect nowadays (PSA/JSA/Beckett).”

“Game Kastle Santa Clara has won my loyalty with their outstanding customer service and fair pricing. The convenience of purchasing a physical copy of a board game at retail value, without the dreaded wait time from shipping with Amazon, is a game-changer. Most other physical stores often charge a premium, but Game Kastle keeps their prices reasonable. The staff is not only friendly but also impressively knowledgeable. They gladly provide recommendations, making the shopping experience enjoyable and informative. While the only downside I've noticed is the occasional lack of sales on popular board games, the overall positive experience far outweighs this minor drawback. Game Kastle Santa Clara has become my go-to destination for board game purchases, and I highly recommend it to fellow enthusiasts seeking excellent service and fair deals.”

“The geek store of my dreams! I've been here so often, the staff recognize me. From anime to Disney to jurassic park. Boxlunch has plenty of geeky merch to choose from. Prices online are almost always better, but you can pick up in store. I wish their LOTR & Star Wars selections were larger, but what I do find I enjoy.Staff are extremely friendly! I've enjoyed all of my interactions here. Discussing our favorite Fandoms, latest TV episodes, or simply laughing over my BFs silly jokes. It's always great.”

“If there is anything that makes retail shops look attractive, it's how tidy and organized the departments are - a slight adjacency to customer service . Michaels in Cupertino is organized and so far - has commendable customer service (as long as they're smiling when they interact, I'm sold). The staff at the register and on the floor are helpful even during the holidays. Every shelf has a variety of great selection (even new to the arts and crafts items are here!). I've been coming to this store for years, but not often, and there are the occasional customers with their unruly kids knocking over merchandise or just running around the store like a playground - I know this is something the staff cannot control but this creates an inconvenience to other customers as these little people have no clue about good behavior. One time I had to give my "I'll eat you alive" look to a little girl who pushed against my cart while she was running. I think that kid will never leave home after that. I digress. The framing department seems to be the busiest area in the store. Each time I had to go use their bathroom (clean), there were always customers waiting to be helped. I take that as a good sign? There are always great sales going on with their yarn and beading supplies. I'm happy. Their clearance items are of great value and if you get in during the right time, you'll even get to purchase $10 wholesale boxes from previous seasons. I shop here, usually at random...not a great idea. Parking is easy and the strip is a one-stop-shop with the Safeway and Ulta next door. Even a RDFL (Ross Dress For Less). It's time to conclude this thesis. It's an easy 5 stars.”

“This is a great addition to the stores at Valley Fair Mall. I have a 9 year old and I myself a 9 year old trapped in a 40yo body. Stores like this really help break things up among all the boring clothes, jewelry and shoes. It helps fill the void of stores like KB Toy stores from the 80s/90s.I would say most of their toys lean more towards Japanese Anime such as Naruto, Dragonball, Transformers etc.Pricing is fair. You can probably get it online for $, but you'd have to wait and can not guarantee authenticity. Because of online competition, they have all sales as final.The service and people working here were very friendly and you can tell were happy to work in the store and help customers.”

“You want me to check myself out? No way! One reason I like to shop Michaels is because of friendly employees. Give me a big enough discount I might use self check. But I doubt it!”

“Michaels has almost everything I want craftswise (the only thing I couldn't find was a weaving loom) and their yarn selection has really improved from last year!”
