DARLENE'S REAL SWELL TOYS

This is a cute and adorable little gem of a place. It's a ma and pa store high atop the valley in the land of 4 seasons! Yes, I said it; we never approved of the "live up" logo designed by some back east marketing group! 😂

Anywho, Ma even had a fresh baked cookie to share with us! ❤ This little store is sure to have something that you'll have to have before leaving! And don't let its size deter you; even after being inside, I feel like I'll need to go back again because I know there's things I missed around one of those corners!😂

In town for work and decided to stop in… wow! What a cool place. Tons of really unique toys and gifts! They were extremely nice and helpful as well. I will definitely stop in again next time I’m in Tehachapi.

This place is fantastic! My kids refer to it as "The Old Toy Store". The focus is definitely on edutainment.
Darlene herself is wonderful and loves talking with children. She's very much a grandma.

It brought me back to my childhood. It is organized with a lot of merchandise. All the great toys! Oh and the owner Darlene is fun and enthusiastic.

If you're looking for something ordinary don't come here. This store has the most complete selection of gifts you won't find in the big box stores. This is a well thought out inventory.

Took my three of my Grandkids to "pick their own gift" from the huge storck display of toys. What a joy it was to watch them explore "all" the merchandise .......and finally choosing exactly what they wanted!!!

Real sweet toy shop, decent prices, good selection.

Cute toy shop with toys you won't find in other retailers. Some retro toys!
Worth checking out!

I felt like I was going back in time. They had most of the toys for sale that I used to play with 6 decades ago!!!

Visited this past weekend with my husband. Wonderful store and Darlene was awesome! I only wish that I had bought a few more things for the Easter baskets I'm putting together for my grandbabies 😍
Can't wait to come again and visit soon!

Really cool toy store! The owner is extremely kind and they had a great selection of toys!

perfect litte toy shop. plus the owners are nice! the toys are a bit too pricey though. but other than that, this place is fun and you should definitely go here if you go to tehachapi. :]

Fantastic toy store! I came in looking for a birthday present and found the perfect book. Good selection of toys, books and throwback novelties. The layout is also nice, with lots of individual nooks and corners, giving this toy store a unique feel. If I'm ever in town again I'll be stopping by. Thanks for all of your help Darlene, and best of luck!

Grandma was in town and wanted to buy my daughter a toy so we went in to Darlene's and I knew from previous trips they would both have a blast. My daughter loved playing with the train set up. It was hard to pay her out but we all left with smiles on our faces. She "galloped" out of the store on her new horse on a stick toy. Happy toddler, Grandma and Mom. The owners are always kind and helpful. Patience is a key quality they have. You never feel rushed and always leave happy. They have something for everyone.

Was a wonderful toy shop and loved the sweet owners! Highly recommended for quality toys and old fashioned toys too for all ages!

My kids always LOVE going here. Darlene is always at the counter ready to show us something in the store that's really neat. She picks some really fun toys and books to stock! Highly recommend. A great "mom and pop" toy shop

Upon seeing your reply and investigating further, it seems someone had created an online store using this business name and information via the SHOP app. Thank you for your prompt response as i was able to report the fraud to my credit card agency. Will be sure to visit if ever in the area.

Awesome store, I love the Geodes, and the vintage toys. The owner is great as well very friendly and welcoming environment.

Love visiting this store with my son. It has that beautiful charm that the owners bring and they have an amazing selection. You can't get that experience from Amazon ;)

Absolutely magical toy store! The unassuming outside of this small store hides an amazing variety of unique toys. We could have spent hours inside. The owners are super friendly and helpful. If you have children, take a chance, venture across the tracks. You won't regret it.
