Magic Beans is a new, independently-owned toy store in Coolidge Corner. This colorful, whimsical space was designed by a team of parents, and it shows. It is a well-thought-out store with an outstanding selection of both time-tested favorites and brand new discoveries. There are excellent choices for everyone, from newborn to adult, and the prices are surprisingly low, especially given the location.

The staff is both knowledgeable and helpful, and the indoor playspace is usually bustling with activity, both planned and spontaneous. Giftwrap is complimentary and there is a rewards program for frequent shoppers.

In addition to toys, this store has an unbelievable baby gear department with a fantastic selection of strollers, car seats, carriers and more.
