    If you're looking for a store with owners who genuinely care about their customers, then look no further than this one. I recently found myself in an emergency situation and was in dire need of some assistance. Luckily, I stumbled upon this store and was met with the kindness and compassion of Ms. Paula and Linda, the owners. These two women are some of the most kind-hearted people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. They knew exactly what I needed and went above and beyond to make sure that I was taken care of. I cannot express my gratitude enough for the attention to detail, professionalism, and love that they showed me and my family during a difficult time. If you're looking for a store with owners who truly care about their customers, then you won't be disappointed with this one. Thank you, Ms. Paula and Linda, for being such wonderful human beings and for running a store that truly makes a difference in people's lives.

    Nice selection of kids toys, shoes and clothes. Though, it is uncomfortably crowded with merchandise which makes it hard and overwhelming to shop in there.

    THE PLACE TO GO for children's clothes! Amazing boutique selection at frugal shopper prices! Why bother with the hassle of the mall & department stores! Stay & play in Del Ray!

    Ordered balloons from them for my son's graduation and Linda and Rob were a delight to work with. I love to support local businesses and this one is definitely worth supporting. Great store 😊

    The owners Linda and Paula literally "saved the day" for my little one year old's baptism! I had been in the store once before and had purchased a few beautiful items so when my SECOND online order for a baptism dress fell through by sending an email the day before stating my shipment would be arriving late, three days after the baptism, I went into panic mode. I had all my friends and family in town for my little one's first birthday party (on Saturday) and her baptism on Sunday! I realized I had to find a dress after the party on Saturday and before Sunday morning!!!! I dropped by Purple Goose to see if they had anything and Paula and Linda immediately felt my urgency and upset and searched the store for any dress appropriate for the occasion. I did not have my little one with me because she rode back with my husband for nap time, so I had no idea if they might fit. These lovely ladies let me take all the dresses with me, four to be exact, with a sweater, a pair of bloomers etc. and said if one fits great come back next week and pay for it, if none of them fit then just bring them back! Seriously?!? I tried to leave my card but they didn't even ask for my number. These small business owners know what it takes to distinguish themselves from the department stores, online baby stores, even the overpriced, snobby boutiques around the area. Not only did one of the dresses fit perfectly but it was beautiful and my baby looked like a little angel. The ordered dress arrived the following Thursday and it was not nearly as beautiful and detailed as the one from Purple Goose. And it was more expensive!! I will forever be a loyal customer of the store and love the magical feeling when you enter and the amazing customer service!

    Omg. The owner is to die for. I’ve never walked into a child’s boutique that’s beyond lovely and then become enamored with the owner who is as sassy and funny as she is smart and knows her business. I’ve never just lived going into a place excited to see the owner just to at worst leave only with a bellyache from laughing. Great place great taste

    The staff/owners are so cool! My daughter grabbed my leg as tight as she could and said "thank you mommy" when she tried on her beautiful new coat! You guys are amazing so happy to meet you all.

    I went here for children’s shoes and a little service in getting them properly fitted. I found a cute selection of shoes and much more.
