Reviews Summary :

Customer reviews convey mixed experiences at this store. While some praise it for its selection and friendly, knowledgeable staff, especially during the week, others criticize the weekend staff for being unhelpful and unfriendly, particularly to families with children. The store is noted for being the only option in Southern Orange County, which some view as a double-edged sword—providing a rare resource, yet leading to somewhat premium pricing. Overall, it is recommended for its variety but with caveats regarding peak time service.
