Mr. Mopps' Children's Books & Toys
About this place
The toy shop people send you to for the thing you cannot find anywhere else. Browsing is half the outing.
How kid-friendly is it?

Berkeley's beloved community-built tot lot: fully fenced, a wooden play structure with a mural-covered clubhouse, and a steady rotation of shared sand toys. The default morning meetup for North Berkeley toddlers.
