LIMELITE

"They have a great selection of items! The only thing that made me uncomfortable is the fact that the owners were following us the entire time. Made me feel like I was doing something wrong but I was shopping :(. The owner’s daughter was super sweet, she’s at the register. But be warned that you will literally be followed around. I understand that you need to make sure no one shoplifts but that is way too excessive. I own a business but do not go to the length of following my customers around. Sorry but I was not comfortable here."

"I felt like very uncomfy and left soon because from the moment we entered the store the owner was watching, following us, and the staff was talking about us. It felt like it was def a race thing because they didn't do it to the white people there. Very disappointed."

"I visit this shop every time I am in the area and always end up buying something. They have such cute things and frequently get new items. One of my favorite stores in the area!"

"I was so excited to visit this store!!! They have a nice selection of blind boxes (it’s hard to find Sonny Angels, so I am thrilled they had some!), plushies, stationary, and just cute gifts in general. The shop is pretty small and can be difficult to get around, but I know they had to recently change locations. The owners were so lovely and kind, they offered baskets and helped me with some questions I had, and thanked me for coming by. I hope to visit again in the future!"

"My family and I were visiting New Jersey and being from Canada it's much harder to find Sonny Angel dolls. However Limelite came up on the Sonny Angel app as a location close to us so we decided to check them out. I don't know what I was expecting, but when we arrived to the shop I was blown away with their large selection of cute and lovely items! Items with Kirby, Sanrio, Pokemon, Studio Ghibli, Sonny Angels, Anime, Jack the Skeleton, snacks, and more! (tbh I didn't even fully explore the store, because I knew I'd want to buy everything lol). We were on a mission for Sonny Angels though, so we asked the owner and they happily showed us right away. Another owner even greeted us and brought us baskets for our items. Such nice service! We shopped for the Sonny's, taking our time because they had so many series it was hard to choose lol. Definitely a good problem to have :P. When we were done, we checked out and the owner was so nice and cheerful, chatted with us about Sonny Angels, our visit and the shop. Very easy going and kind people. We ended up loving our visit so much, and wanted even more Sonny Angels (they are addicting to get!!) we managed to drive back before leaving New Jersey. Our second visit to the store was just as good as the first. We loved it here and I would be back every week if I lived in the area, no joke! :D Side note: I'm not too sure where all these poor reviews are coming from, not once did I feel uncomfortable in the store or "watched." The shop is a little on the smaller scale in terms of size, so the cash register isn't far from most of the merchandise. If anything, the owners may watch to make sure you're satisfied with your experience and are attentive. As they did bring us baskets when they noticed our hands getting full. I don't know about anyone else, but that is amazing service, totally do not expect that from any store and it was a nice touch. The owners constantly were nice and smiling, the vibes in the store were so good and calm. I could shop in there all day. My family and I are also POC and did not experience any of the racial claims the other reviews have made. SO if you're in the area, and want to find the most adorable items, you should stop by! I highly recommend them and you can see for yourself how lovely the shop and owners are. "
