Toy Joy

This is the perfect place to kill time and is worth a browse of their crazy collection. There is a small parking lot behind the store, but it fills up fast. It is just best to park nearby and walk.

If you've nevr been to Toy Joy go for the sole purpose of trying their amazing soft serve ! Not everyone know's there is a little cafe in this toy store , and it's a hidden gem .

An independent toy store since 1987, this uniquely Austin must-see is guaranteed to put a smile on your face. Doodads, whatchamacallits and doohickies cover every inch of this toy paradise.
