Not a great experience, would not return or recommend. Stopped in today while walking through the area after visiting Parisien Gourmandises, and found some Blockees Transformers for my son. We usually buy them at comic bookstores, and was surprised to find them at this toy store, happy to support a local business, My son decided to buy a box which has 12 individual boxes in it... there was another box of 12 behind it so he wasn't cleaning out their inventory and there wasn't a sign saying there was a limit per customer (these aren't Pokémon cards, nor are they a limited production product. It's is a mystery toy box) when we get to the register, as the clerk was ringing us up the other employee comes over and says they can't sell us the whole box of 12 because she doesn't want to get in trouble with her manager for selling them... weird... she says she can only allow us to buy half. I was confused and she says it wouldn't be fair to other people who want to buy them, again a whole other box of 12 is sitting on the shelf. I said ok, I'll buy half and my husband can buy the other half, she says no, the limit is per family... what? I said ok, at this point you're just making up your own rules (which they are allowed to do, but at the register it seems unfair and unprofessional) There was no sign posted saying there is a limit and there's a whole other box set on the shelf. That's when I asked to speak to the manager and she says she's the asst manager and the highest ranked in the store. Insert eye roll! Luckily another woman in the store said she'd buy the other half and I paid her outside the store. We are from Northern California and we like to support independent bookstores, TCG card stores and comic bookstores. WHENEVER there is a limit per customer that information is POSTED and we respect it, this was NOT THE CASE. On many occasions my son has purchased these mystery toy blockee boxes and NEVER has a limit been implemented, let alone implemented AT THE REGISTER! Tbh I would have left them all there and not spent a penny at the store, but that wouldn't have been fair to my kid. It's simple, if you have a limit per customer, it needs to be posted!

Great store! They have lots of trending toys for all ages. We came for Needohs and Jellycats, and they had a good variety of both.

Cute little boutique toy store. They have a few locations, but this one is in such a great location in downtown La Jolla. Purchased the 1st Christmas present for 2026 already, as well as a few Jellycats! Highly recommend to stop in & browse!

Really cute place with lots of quality toys that I hadn’t seen already. Jelly cat plushies, special Lego sets, Douglas plush toys, the haribo gummy bear bag! They have an excellent assortment of puzzles as well. And within walking distance of the shore!
