Took my niece there for her birthday and while yes it is a pricey for a doll, it was worth the money. She loved walking through the store and looking at all the displays for all the dolls. The waiter at the cafe was amazing and made sure to speak directly to her. We loved the entire experience.
Very cool toys store for children. Not really adult or teen friendly as the selection is not so exciting to me.That said, there was a few item I purchased for myself and my son that were very cool. I got the BAT from the last Batman movie! YEH.
This place has definitely been around forever. I love vintage toys and weird finds, so this place is definitely a great option for browsing through dusty collections and finding something special. Treasure hunting, if you will! Their stock is also generally very affordable, and theres tons of it! Up to the ceiling, even! Thanks for being a great local business.
They have great collection of toys specially for infants and toddlers.Did lot of shopping for my 10 months old.You will get multiple options to choose.And enjoy.Not a bad place for younger kids.
Please support stored like this! Unique educational toys are worth giving to our children. Go to Café Salmarie after!!!
While their merchandise is a little more expensive the store itself has soo much more variety than big box department stores. The customer service is excellent and during Christmas they offer complementary gift wrapping too!
Awesome toy store with convenient downtown location by work.
This little store as curated the best stuff- everything there are classics and favorites!
I went into Ambassador Toys thinking Id like to buy a MacLaren double stroller (since I love my MacLaren single stroller). Ron was extremely knowledgeable about double strollers. I ended up buying a Valco Baby Snap Duo. Its wonderful! Easy to drive, super light and portable, and with lots of lovely features. I am so glad that I went to Ambassador Toys instead of just buying a stroller online. I purchased a much nicer and more suitable stroller.
I love coming into ambassador on a lazy weekday afternoon! they have a ton of toys and games from my childhood, as well as an excellent selection of newer games. it always takes me forever to leave once i set foot inside...be prepared to spend more than just a few minutes in here!
Daughter loved this toy store selection. Not many toy stores in the area and luckily there was one in the ghost town on the wknds Embarcadero.
Cute spot, with a wide selection of toys! The employee was super helpful as well.
Thank you Dave Eggers, for bringing piratittude to our fair city!Such benevolent and kind pirates you are. We need boatfuls of you:)
Love this place, has amazing selection of all ages and the price was totally worth it will go back
Cute and expensive toy store that caters to professionals who are in a hurry and yet need a gift. Many very cute toys, including a very overpriced series of animal puppets. The store was nicely organized by theme, including the alcove where science projects, star trek and Star wars were grouped.
We love this toy store,, As a Local 55 year friscan, this is by far the BEST toy store in the city hands down.Free wrapping, great Toys, Personal Service,,, And yes you may pay a Little higher price,,, but with NO long lines, corporate garbage, and they offer Easy No question asked returns,, We support Local stores, and this by far is one of the best in the city !.. Our Kids love it just as much,, And we look forward to doing our holiday shopping there every year since they opened,, THANKS SO MUCH for being a TRUE home style toy store!
The store has been there for ages and continues to attract loyals and new customers with their wide and useful variety...
A small store, but the service and the selection are really nice.
Great toy shop! love the mix of old and new toys. i would always choose ambassador toys over a major giant toy store.
My sister asked me what the demographic for this kind of store is. My response: children, nerdy men who like comics, and me.
Good service. Good selection. Good wrapping.
Great shop n people! Beautiful gift wrapping for free
Not many toy stores in the area. This one has many items that are traditional fun items (i.e. yoyos, pogo sticks) for the pre-iphone set. Also, the shop has a large great crafts assortment, and a very friendly staff. Excellent location for FiDi and Ferry crowd
Great store, big selection. Perfect for quick gifts
Interesting toy shop for the kids.
Good toys everywhere!
Cute little toy store....good selection given the size of the store...a little bit on the expensive side but great for small little gifts
Packed floor to ceiling with toys! Helpful staff, though pretty traditional - the first thing they asked was whether the toy was for a boy or a girl.

Typical urban you store.

Cool stuff
A shop with a variety of retro toys and educational toys in a small space. Assortment of items different from Toys R Us, like a traditional toy store.
A small toy store with a not very large assortment, but it seems that it is better not in San Francisco.
