Great toy store, helpful friendly staff!! Yes it's a bit cluttered but theres tons to choose from in such a small space, and I thought it was cozy and cute. My only suggestion is to put prices on the items. But even with that, the staff was available and helpful with telling the prices. Great free wrapping too. A little Expensive but worth it! I found things you don't see in big box stores.

If your in a pinch and don't want to drive to far I suggest you come here as they have just about everything imaginable. They have everything literally from dolls to slime. Since they have just about everything that comes with it's own problem the store is very cluttered. Everywhere you walk you have to be extra cautious. Tripping hazards galore. The items are severely marked up. For instance twister will cost you $26.99 at Einstein's attic or $16.99 at target or even $14 on Amazon. I am all for small business but I have to do what's best for my budget.
Once again if your in a pinch head here and while your at it take a walk down main street it sure is a beautiful location. But if time is on your side and looking for a bargain seek elsewhere. Hope this helps.Helpful 3Thanks 1Love this 0Oh no 0 - Les P.Long Island, NY6312Feb 3, 2023
Great selection of toys, and the staff have always treated my family more like individual people instead of random customers.
It seems many of the negative reviews about Einstein's Attic are about wanting more, more, faster, faster, cheaper, cheaper. That's not really what I expect when I'm in downtown Northport. And do we really want that all the time, in every aspect of our lives? Overloading our schedules, expecting instant gratification and becoming more and more impatient? This a place to find a thoughtful gift.
If (and I mean if, because I've definitely had quick service as well when they're not busy) you have to wait in line while someone else's present is specially wrapped just for them, appreciate that unique service and maybe get a present wrapped yourself. Or give yourself a little extra time.
We're looking forward to stopping by again soon!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Nov 8, 2021
Nice local toy store with a very good selection of everything. As people mention, prices are on the higher end but it's about the experience for kids and picking something out in person instead of just getting it delivered by Amazon.

This is a great little toy store. That said, I wish the owners would put the price on the items. My kids and I waited 15 minutes just to get a price while the store worker was wrapping gifts for someone else. We mentioned just wanting a price and were still told to wait, even seeming annoyed that we were annoyed (we had been patiently waiting for 10 minutes at that point). After 15 minutes, in a super crowded store (filled with items which is great but makes it impossible to pass other shoppers), with several kids with hacking coughs nearby, we had to give up and left. I hate to criticize any small
Business but this was not the first time we've spent a loong time just trying to get a price to see if we even wanted to buy the item or should look for something else (and there was a woman behind us waiting for the same thing). The store has a great selection and we love to support local but we truly hope they get a better system and add prices on their items to eliminate unnecessary waiting .Helpful 4Thanks 1Love this 1Oh no 0 - Aug 7, 2020
Parents this place is adorable for your little ones! Yes, it is on the pricey side but its good to support a local business. They had a lot of toys for children of all ages. It was a cute toy store and I just had to buy something for my 8 month old! I would definitely recommend this place for people that need a gift for their little ones. Also, they do adorable gift wrapping for gifts. Only downside is that the prices are too high!

Nice little toy store in Northport has a good selection of games and toys for all ages. The staff is helpful but the biggest complaint is that every item is very pricy here. I'm all for shopping local but I find the same things on Amazon for a lot cheaper. Again, it's a good place to shop local is prices aren't a concern and I'd come back again to pick up any last minute gifts.

Best toy store ever! My daughter and I went there last week and again today! She's 7 and it brings so much joy to my life to see how happy she is in this wonderland. I plan to do all our Christmas shopping here! We can't wait to come back next week! Also all the ladies who work there are amazing. They have everything you could ever want and more

What's with all the haters? I always enjoy supporting a local merchant: They're pleasant, offer suggestions, host good kids' parties (we've been to a few) and support children and schools in the community.
Maybe some people were just having a bad day, not sure. They're a great part of the community with lots of unique gift ideas. What a breath of fresh air in the age of brown boxes delivered by UPS - you can speak with your neighbors and real people in a shoppe.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
