“We have become obsessed with the Toy Nest! My 3-year-old asks every day to go and it's SUCH a win for me because we have a tiny apartment, so being able to borrow toys and not have to store them in our space has been so nice!
Lisa and the rest of the staff are super friendly, helpful, and genuinely care that my daughter and I have a great experience every time.”
“Everything i walk in here, i see so many 80s toys it reminds me of my childhood. They have comics, manga and lots of newer toys and collectibles. Staff is helpful and knowledgeable.”
“The best local store! I love going there to buy my Pokémon and one piece products and accessories to play Tcg, they also have a huge selection of funko pops. I also love to spend time playing cards there, they have a lot of tournaments during the week. The workers are also really friendly!”
“Shop lego stores all the time for my sons. Stopped in today with my youngest to kill some time while my wife had an eye dr appointment. The staff was assembling a display lego set and let my son finish it. Kept him busy for an hour and made his day on top of it. Thank you.”

My kid had an amazing conversation with her about the Dreamzzz lego sets. I really appreciate how she sparked my child's imagination!”

234 W Broad St, Falls Church“A shoutout for the curbside service. We were going to a birthday party, but my kid fell asleep in the car. I called the store. They helped pick the toy, gift wrapped it, and brought it to my car. All done within 10 minutes.We also visit frequently when my kid is awake to pick up birthday presents. The store has great toy selections covering a wide age range.”
“Nice little place with a fun selection of kits, mostly military Tamiya. Primer i got from here is the cheapest iv been able to find yet works better than any iv used before.”

8090 Tysons Corner Center, McLean“Took my granddaughter here to celebrate her birthday. This is a large store and overwhelming at first. There are 2 levels. Several play areas. And lots of dolls! The restaurant and salon areas looked cool, but we're closed when we were there. We will definitely go back to experience those. Employees were friendly and helpful, but gave us plenty of space to enjoy the experience.”
“This is a wonderful little store with all kinds of anime stuff. If you're looking for authentic Genshin Impact merchandise, danmei merchandise, anime figures, and blind boxes this is your place! The cashier was really nice and sweet too.”
“I went to 5 And Below today for a gift and was helped by a beautiful young lady with the name of Manel. I was greeted by her and she helped me put together a Wonderful gift for my Granddaughter. She was very helpful and was attending other customers while checking me out. Will visit again.”

3428 Connecticut Ave NW, Washington“Lovely store. Lots of great, interesting gifts to choose from. Wish I could have bought more things, but was on a budget. ? The owner was very kind and helpful. Will definitely stop by again when I visit DC.”
“Lil Waffle said "if they just stayed put at the register..." As if they don't have two floors of toys to stock and clean up after your poorly supervised children. You just want this small business with 4 rooms, 2 floors, and 3 exits to sit at the register and wait on you? Then when you leave, they can just spend the whole night doing everything else required to run a business. Even Walmart cannot stand by their 45 registers waiting for you, Walmart makes you check out yourself and then audits your work ethic on the way out. Idiot.”

10385 Main St, Fairfax“The staff is consistently helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable, the storefront and game room are pleasant and comfortable, and the product selection is excellent—the RPG selection going well beyond the typical D&D-5e-only is a great feature.”

2005 Mt Vernon Ave, Alexandria“This charming children's shop carries high quality children's clothing for special occasions and everyday, with the best selection of children's shoes in the city of Alexandria (Hunter, boys leather loafers, Native, See Kai Run, saddle shoes, Keen). It is a classic store but also has new trends. They are one of my go-tos for holiday pjs, classic items like wool or rain coats and well-made, long lasting shoes like rainboots and saddle shoes. Now that my boys are older, it is a good place for sacrament outfits for first communion or cotillion clothes. I love their selection of unique gifts and it is one of my boys' favorites to pick up a Jelly Cat stuffed animal, Melissa and Dog classic wooden toys or cute hairbows and jewelry. At the holidays, they are my go-to for Thymes fir candles and monogrammed items. They monogrammed my boys' heirloom baptism gown with their names and baptism dates through the in-house Del Ray monograms and expanded to Del Ray Balloons. They used to have a terrific consignment corner and their sales are the best, where I stock up on the next size up. The owners Paula and Linda know long-time customers by name and have great customer service and know host to hustle, surviving the pandemic with innovation and grit.”
“Nice collection of better toys. Very helpful and knowledgeable staff. Free wrapping of even difficult items like stuffed animals. Easy access to parking, very safe area.”
“We’ve taken our 1 1/2 year old here a few times and we all enjoy looking at the huge variety of toys offered. The owner is incredibly nice and personable. The prices are decent too. Will definitely keep returning to this store!”
“Popped in to pickup something for my nephew while walking home. Great service, helped me find something for his interests, and beautifully gift wrapped the item.”
“Absolutely gorgeous children’s clothes! The store is always very well put together and clean and tidy whenever we come. Probably the best place to get children’s clothes in the galleria. The store is never too busy but the staff is always kind and helpful. Perfect place to pick up a baby shower gift!”
“Ahmed, is absolutely amazing with customer service. He took the time to show my father, the correct cable and ear AirPods for his phone. he is an asset to your company.”
“I’ve been coming here for over 15 years and everyone has always been great! Today I was helped by Casimir and I was very impressed on how dealt with me with such great efficiency. He was naturally interested in being as helpful as can be and was enthusiastic and didn’t sound dull or uninterested. Made sure to let me know about all offers and promos they were having. GameStop should be proud of him. I can totally see him owning his own business one day. Lately I have felt like there has been a curse on me because of all the problems I’ve been running into and thanks to this guy a ton of emotional weight has been lifted off of me. Thanks Casimir! You’re the man!”

1100 S Hayes St, Arlington“Moved to the area a while ago. This is my closest gamestop metro accessible. Diego is a breath of fresh air to this location. Went above and beyond with recommendations, multitasking, communication. Focused on building relationships and community. Extremely excited for retro game selections to increase as well. Major kudos to Diego.”
“I brought in a bunch of games to have checked out and sold. The process was very simple, but I called/emailed first of course. This place has such a nice atmosphere! Haha, it made me want to keep the games I sold! I’m a little old person now… and well, I just don’t have the time to game like I used to. So, I’m glad I got to sell the games at a fair price :) Great store and friendly staff.”
