“It's my favorite place to go and the best wrestling related go-to place for any wrestling fan.Yesterday, I got to meet one of the all-time greats, Mick Foley. I'm grateful to have a location close by and be able to meet these wrestlers that otherwise, I would keep wishing to meet. Thank you, David, for making these experiences memorable and running it smoothly, making it a pleasant experience all around for everyone.”
“Such a delightful store. It smells nice, has nice music, and of course a wonderful selection of quality toys for babies and kids. A perfect place for shower or birthday gifts”
“My kids and I fell in love with this little toy store. Great variety of so many books, games & toys.And the employees working there were so kind and amazing!We will definitely be coming back here :)”

12310 Penn St, Whittier“Can't say enough about this place. I took my 6 yr old son and 8 and 7 yr old nephews. When they walked in, they literally said "is this a dream?" They were blown away by the selections. They could've spent hours in there. With a fixed budget in mind, they were able to pick several cars that were very reasonably priced. Going to a big box store maybe cheaper but you don't get the selection or experience at all. Manny helped us through the whole experience and elevated it so much with his friendly demeanor, and knowledgeable explanations of each car the kids picked which made them feel like they had the most special cars in the world. Completely recommend and can't wait to return. Thank you!”
“Best bookstore in Long Beach. Always find something so special here. As a former independent, secondhand bookstore worker I always look for a store with careful and thoughtful curation. You can find rare books, the best selection of art books, and so much more, it’s a huge spot. Looking forward to being a regular.”
“This place is awesome and I definitely recommend going here if you want to take an rc car and drift. Keith the owner is such a knowledgeable and super helpful person that takes his time to help you with whatever he can. In my situation I had an rc car with several issues and he did everything he could to try to get it running without even asking me for anything in return. Bless his big heart and I hope that he gets a bunch of people to go here. It is such a chill spot that plays good music and makes you feel like a local hangout spot where you get to race what you are passionate about. If I could give Keith more stars I definitely would his customer service is beyond good!”
“The team at Bricks and Minifigs Anaheim is awesome. Whether shopping in store or online my experience has always been outstanding. When I relocated this summer the saddest thing about leaving California was I wouldn't be able to shop in store anymore, but l have been able to get a lot of my Lego needs/wants through the online store. Shipping is always quick and very reliable. 5 stars all around!”
“It was my first time being in that store with friends, it's pretty cool. They have many figures ranging from a multitude of series and different media. They also have some funko pop figures, so if you're into that, it's also in that store as well. Although I did not buy anything, I do plan to go back and get myself a nice figure. Would recommend if you're into comics like Marvel, DC, etc. And if you're into Anime and Mangas like Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, My Hero and many more.”
“So today was my first visit ever to a comic book shop and today is my first visit to Phat and I had a blast! The staff here are awesome and I would 100% be back again!”
“Very competitive pricing. The owner Kevin is super kind and informative, and willing to answer all sorts of questions.I would recommend browsing their online shop first to get an idea of their inventory. Their stock is up to date and they have kits available (such as wfm) that may be sold out at other local stores. In-person sales are facilitated via cash or zelle only.Glad to support a local gunpla shop with great prices, I only wish I found them sooner :)”
“Everyone here was extremely helpful! I don't know anything about model trains and the gentleman that helped me explained everything about the train set I picked out and wanted to make sure I knew exactly what I was getting! I would definitely come back here and recommend to anyone looking for a train or train accessories. I love supporting local small business and I'm glad this one is run by someone who is knowledgeable and helpful.”
“Great book selection has a few chairs for quiet read, very helpful staff always attentive and have great recommendations on what to read next or what to get you started.”
“Went to browse ended up leaving with some AOT funkos with a scene as well. Along with gear 2 luffy and my favorite a Sergio Perez & Car Pop Ride. Today was a discount sale and even then the guy really hooked me up. Definitely going back!”

2150 E South St Ste 111, Long Beach“Great variety of items. Too much to list. I got a brand new helmet to wear for skating or cycling and knee pads. And a bunch of those jibbitz for my cross. It's worth popping in and checking out.”
“Great store. They have teacher supplies, classroom decorations, school supplies, learning games and toys and a ton of workbooks. This is a great store for teachers, homeschoolers and parents.If you sign up you can get discount coupons in your e-mail and save on toys or games. If you're a teacher of any sort, or just looking for educational supplies, you'll find them at Lakeshore. They have a large selection of classroom supplies and the best learning materials. Teachers will find bulletin board decorations, really unique, colorful and hard-to-find cutesy stuff. You don't need to be a teacher to enjoy the store. If you're a creative or artist, you might find it just as amusing. Every Saturday 11 am- 3 pm they offer free c crafts. Nobody obligated to buy anything.Lakeshore is clean and organized. Good prices.Great resources and service! Staff members are friendly and courteous!”
“One of the few of these around...It's spacious and has plenty for anybody interested in reading just about anything.The staff all are friendly and helpful. There's a great kids area. And you can get coffee or a pastry inside. It's fun. It's definitely run down just a bit and could use some detail work as far as refurbishment. But that's just from heavy use because people still love books.”

“I love coming to awesome collectibles! They always have the best products! I love coming here especially for my Disney merch addiction? they have the cutest backpacks, the cutest pins, everything! I’ve bought a few Disney wallets here and they’ve lasted me me for so long! Also the staff us super kind and welcoming, security is also super kind and always making sure everyone is good!”
“Cool place with really cool collectables. This place is filled with tons of collectables: action figures, toys, Funko Pops, Disney pins, and other cool stuff. Prices are a little high, but it's to be expected, as it's only a hop, skip, and a jump away from Disneyland. Also, I'm sure inflation is a factor too. ????Per my experience they will not accept any haggling, even if it's a few dollars off, so to me that was a bit off a turn off. They should be more understanding that in today's age where everything is priced at top dollar, if they want to make some more sales, they should be willing to let a customer haggle with them, especially if they're willing to spend a decent amount of money and by multiple items. In a sense, like buying in bulk. That's my only knock on the place.Merchandise = awesomeLocation- decent area and close to Disneyland tooCustomer service - meh....”
“Amazing spot for all skill levels of Gundam builders. The staff were super welcoming and helpful and I found my new spot to satisfy my hobby needs. Thanks so much for welcoming me into the Gunpla world.”
“Came in for some magic cards about a week ago and left highly impressed by the customer service, friendly atmosphere and vibe of this store. Met Noel for the first time and felt like I was meeting up with an old friend! He's super cool, extremely generous and knowledgeable. Don't hesitate, come and visit this cool spot. Highly recommend this LGS.”

The little lady with the kuromi lanyard helped my boyfriend and I through the process and made us feel so great about our experience ! Thank you to the staff for an amazing experience ”
“Awesome store that will help with purchase of products that are not in the store. You’re able to look at a wide selection of aviation products before you buy. One of the only remaining pilot shops in Southern California I’m little biased.”

Candy is a small selection but also carried today's current candies like Mr. Beast chocolates and throwback abbazabbas. Sodas of different flavors and current hydration Prime. This place.is definitely worth checking out.”

5545 Stearns St, Long Beach“this five below is in a pretty decent sized plaza. there's a target and a trader joe's right next to it, so the parking is fairly easy. i was surprised to see how big this five below was. the compton and hawthorne locations are a bit smaller than this one. i've been here twice and have seen way more items than the other locations. this one's clean and neat for the most part. i love coming to five below to find some gems for a good price. they have so many things like toys, books, stuffed animals, home decor, & more. the candies are also pretty good too! i didn't need any customer service but there was a ton of people working that day. like i'd say more than 15 workers! i'd definitely come back to this location whenever i'm in the area”
