Well, alas, it's not the HomBom of yore which I would've rated with 4 or 5 stars. This HomBom has a decidely smaller collection of toys and is missing the educational items that I routinely bought at the old HomBom, as well as the great and delightful variety of interesting items the other store boasted. You will get lots of personal attention at this store as the staff approaches making toy recommendations like pharmacists make theirs. I do hope the toys "prescribed" to me will be a hit with the kiddies and their parents.
I just visited the new Homboms Toy Store at 1470 1st Avenue. Its located between 76th and 77th street now.
The store is super nice. It's bright, has many new toys, books and games at very reasonable prices. The owner of the store knows every toy, and is very knowledgeable. Give Homboms a try. You won't be disappointed.

Used to go all the time until the sisters were rude to me and disparaged me for being worried about covid. Selection is just ok and it’s also a bit pricey. But if I had been treated with respect I might still be a customer.
Went in today to grab a gift for my niece. The attendant was very helpful in helping me find a range of appropriate gifts for her age. The store is small but the gifts are mighty! They don't fill the store with uninteresting gifts or shelf fillers--they really know what kids like!
Went in with my family to get some gifts for some friends and family kids. It was a blast the sisters were friendly and knowledgeable they were so awesome. If I lived here in the city I'd make them my go to for all you purchases.
I’ve been in this store several times buying stuff for my grandchildren.
Every visit was a pleasure. Even during the crowded rush of Christmas.
It’s just what you want in a neighborhood store.
Good choices in toys. And the staff was helpful and friendly.
As for any negative reviews.
It is, what it is.
Go in with attitude. You could leave with attitude.
I went in with a smile.

Excellent selection of new and traditional toys, great customer service when looking for a gift, and specifically the toys for kids from 1-5 y/o are top notch. Support a local business and don’t buy everything on Amazon!
