Sweet Dreams is a great little store that sells a wide range of items for kids and for those who are kids at heart. They have a great selection of candies and some imported from around the world. It reminds me of the old vintage candy stores with jars of candy behind the counter shelves. They also sell some kids clothing and shoes in the back.
This unique toy store has been around the Elmwood District of Berkeley for over twenty years. They have toys ranging from ages five years to adult. They have some novelty items such as stuffed furry mice and back scratchers and they have a very nice selection of books.
The quality of their items is very good. Any money spent here will be well worth it.
I don't have or know many children, but I always have a good time at Sweet Dreams. It is absolutely delightful--you can play while you browse, and it often seems that the employees are having just as much fun as you are. It's a great place to shop for gifts, no matter how old the receiver is.
PROS: Fun atmosphere
CONS: College Ave. traffic and parking
