Reviews
I love this store, it’s full of beautiful items and the atmosphere is usually pretty good. My last visit as well as today on the other hand, I have never met more unfriendly staff!! I wanted to give it another try and two times in a row it’s not been a welcoming atmosphere. I usually recommend shopping here to friends and family, I will not be doing that any longer.
My favorite art gallery! Free entry, beautiful space, and thought provoking exhibits. We are very lucky to have such an art gallery in Vancouver. Always looking forward to the next opening night!
This Gallery is a gem! Its stunning waterfront location offers breathtaking views that perfectly complement the diverse and thought-provoking exhibitions inside. The contemporary art showcased is both inspiring and engaging, and the gallery’s modern design creates a welcoming and dynamic atmosphere. The staff are knowledgeable and passionate, enhancing the overall experience. A must-visit for art lovers and anyone looking to enjoy a cultural outing in a beautiful setting. Five stars!
Beautiful space and fantastic exhibits. Surprisingly easy to get to from downtown- it is a few minutes walk from the sea bus.
Pay by donation gallery.
Art activity for kids intermittently.
The current display can be very graphic and loud for children. Staff will advise, be aware.

A pleasant pay-what-you-can gallery. The space is beautiful, there’s a photo-booth, and lovely items in the gift shop. A great place to pop into if you’re in the area!
Found out there’re stairs to another level! And the entrance fee is by donation.
Incredible fashion and art magazine selection that's fairly difficult to find elsewhere in the city. The one staff member who helped me out was fantastic too, great vibes all around. Really cool and smartly curated selection of fashion brands from all over. Highly recommend going out of your way to check this boutique out!
Beautiful art gallery located in Guelph's ward neighbourhood! The owners are lovely people and we've really enjoyed getting to know them. We would highly recommend checking out their latest exhibition.
The staff here is so nice! Everyone should come here
THE toy store! From baby to ‘big kids’ (like me), they have such a huge selection of the best toys and educational activities. I’ve made purchases here for my baby, toddler, and older nephews. I find they have the perfect mix of anything you can think of, from the latest and hottest toys on the market, to really cool and unique ones I haven’t heard of (and usually end up buying) and the nostalgic toys of my childhood (e.g., Lite Brite). Shawn, the owner is so welcoming, wonderful, and has great recommendations! Instead of clicking around on Amazon or visiting a big box store, I always try here first because it’s such an inspiring environment and I’ll often discover an even better toy option than what I was originally looking for. Also, there’s a variety of price points whether you’re looking for a Pikler climber, craft book, or magical wand. I could spend tons of time here on my own but I recently took my toddler and we had so much fun! Grateful we have this beautiful and amazing store downtown!
Friendly staff, a local business, and there are always new and interesting things to look at. All things that I love!
Cute Space. Looking forward to seeing the renovations this August.
Friendly and knowledgeable staff who are always happy to help with gift suggestions. They have a great rotating selection of popular toys for a wide range of ages. Their gift wrapping service is an added bonus touch. We're fortunate to have such a great local toy store and it is a family favourite!
I've been shopping here for years and the customer service and selection has always been good and they are a unique toy store. And not just for kids either! We collect Schleich figurines and they are such nice, good quality figurines and always buy them there and nowhere else.There's games and toys of all sorts there and stuff you cannot find elsewhere. You won't find a better, more unique toy store in Northern Ontario, than these folks! The real "learning" toys and games, are here (as well as standard toys/games, big box stores sell). Support local and if anyone deserves it, these folks do. Always a pleasure doing business with them.
This is by far the best toy store in North Bay. Any time I've gone in to buy anything from gifts for family to personal projects, the staff have been super helpful and very friendly.
Everything in the store is easy to find and fairly priced. The wide variety of selection is great, especially for someone like myself, who likes to explore many options.
This is a fantastic local business that deserves more attention from our community. Shop local, and support local businesses like this one.

A very cute, local store. Unfortunately, their service is nonexistent. I’ve been several times now and each time, the staff has not acknowledged me. Why would I be interested in spending my money at a store that can’t even be bothered to say hello to me when I walk in, OR at checkout?
I guess Shoppers Drug Mart will remain my go-to stationary store 🥴🫠

Store itself has good variety of playmobil toys and lots of learning toys too. Also they organize birthday parties. We had one and it was exceptional! Highly recommended for the group of kids activity or birthday party. She was amazing with kids and keep them smile the whole time. Thanks again
Creative Learning was my favourite toy store as a child and now it is my favourite toy store to shop for my daughter! The staff are so helpful and knowledgeable when shopping for age appropriate gifts and toys. They have a great assortment of items that the children in your life will be sure to love.
The woman who works at this store did not say a word to us and we were the only people in the store. On top of that, she was on the phone with someone (unsure if it was business or personal) and then proceeded to follow us around so much that she followed us OUT OF THE STORE and watched us walk away. Never felt more unwelcomed.
Amazing toy store! HUGE selection of quality toys, books, games and more (the kind that last). The staff are exceptionally knowledgable and always have a smile. I have been a customer for years and my kids love exploring the store. We have attended birthday parties on their lower level and events that they hold which are always a blast. I love that I can either shop online or walk in and browse, they offer things like loot bag creation for your parties and free gift wrapping for your purchases and I recently bought a foam machine and they provided complimentary D batteries for it. HIGHLY recommend them.
Unique, well curated space with welcoming and knowledgeable staff. Worth stopping in for a showing.
The owners are so welcoming and knowledgeable about all the beautiful pieces.
Beautiful space and curation!
I love everything about SOOP SOOP. Amazing selection of fashion and art magazines that can't be found anywhere else in Toronto. The coolest clothing from such cool brands (read: not cheap). Great location, and the store owner (or at least I'm assuming she is) is so nice, knowledgeable, and ever so stylish. I could spend hours in that store:)))))
Incredible customer service! I called to place an order for pick up since I live out of town. A family member was going to pick up the gifts up for my niece and nephew and wrap them for me. They kindly offered to not only wrap my gifts for me, but put a tag "from Auntie Sarah" on.
Thank you for going the extra mile!

I bought a top online and the shipping to Spain not only arrived on time, it was really fast! They included a cute note and a sticker in the package. I'm so pleased with both the product and the service.
Great little boutique in the Ossington and Dundas area. Great selection of over seas fashion magazines you’ll have a hard time finding elsewhere. Highly curated fashion pieces at a variety of prices. Would recommend.
ONly person i trust to buy my Art from, Very happy with his Art that he sold me ....
Lovely lovely store - so many unique things and clothes that are very classy. If you're looking for that something special this is the place to go! Staff is friendly and helpful 👍👍
Friendly customer service, great suggestions on gift ideas. Applause for whoever does their window and interior decorations. Books, gifts, clothing, hot beverages & snacks can be found in downtown High River.
The store owner Christina is so welcoming and knowledgeable about fashion. The store has such a distinct vibe and charm that is hard to find elsewhere in Toronto. In my opinion, it's a perfect blend of kitschy minimalism and Brutalism!
really cool store but the costumer service awful! they do not even acknowledge youwalked in the door. they say nothing to you at all. not even a smile
I recently visited to view the Dr. Seuss show. It was a wonderful experience, enjoying prints of such classic works. The owners were friendly and informative.
I have unfortunately not had the opportunity to visit their physical shop, however their online customer service is fast, and very respectful. I made an online order, and my items were packaged neatly and carefully to avoid any damage. Highly Recommended shop for the gems they carry.
Liss Gallery is wonderful. The proprietor is fabulous. Catch the Dr. Suess Exhibition well worth the visit.
The person working there was extremely friendly, and answered all the questions I had, and the exhibit was amazing
I remember this gallery owner. She had a gift shop in Montreal selling Eskimo art to American tourists. She called it a gallery but it was at best a gift shop. Not unusual she surfaced in Toronto selling amateur art. Not an addition to the Toronto scene. Pretentious about her knowledge. Drivel really.
First time in this store and I was surprised by how much they have there. Super friendly and full of beautiful home items, jewelry, and clothing etc.
really small but quaint gallery: went to see Dr Seuss’ artwork, loved it, just wish there had been more
The Liss Gallery is a small gem of a place in Yorkville. I bought a beautiful print of Dr Seuss' Cat in the Hat there. It inspires me whenever I look at it. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful. Great place I would recommend it. I am looking forward to going back to see the exhibit of Dr Seuss' 60th anniversary Cat in the Hat and How the Grinch Stole Christmas prints.
This is an awesome local clothing shop. I came in for the first time today and they were in the process of moving the store to the location a couple of steps down, so there was a moving sale. I was able to get a pair of Cheap Monday jeans for 50% off. The staff was so amazing, very patient with me and providing exceptional service. I love the selection they have in the store too. Will definitely come back!
Visited for the Dr. Suess art work which is phenomenonal.
Such a cute store. Has a little everything for everyone.
