Candy and toys,O My. I really liked the next to impossible to find old school candies and toys I ate and played with as a kid. T.W.Bonkers is full of nostalgia. I highly recommend a stop into this shoppe when your in Old Town Placerville.

We visit this store every time we're in Placerville because they have so many fun things and also quite a bit of nostalgia for toys from my childhood. I haven't tried the extensive candy collection, but it's for sure extensive and tempts me every time

Wide selection of candy, chocolates and ice cream. This place also doubles as a toy store with a wide variety of those of being STEM. A small selection of children's books also available. Friendly staff that provide a cool ghost history of the town.

My wife and I were super excited to see a toy store and needed to go in. It's a cozy little store with a lot of cool toys for the kids. If you're in the area, definitely make a stop and pick up a couple things for your children.

This wonderful toy store started small and is only growing and getting better every year. My mother always buys her "Toys for Tots" selections at this shop every Christmas. It's nice to have a useful and imaginative store on Main Street with such a happy atmosphere.

A visit to TW Bonkers is exciting for all ages! Rediscover toys of your past as.well as amazing fun family games and affordable toys your kids will love for years. Always something unique and surprising to find here. Love the taffy and old time candy! Also, owner Tony genuinely cares about his customers and goes above and beyond in customer service. His staff are equally as amazing. ❤️

This shop is part of the charm on Main Street Placerville! Kids love the environment, and there are demos of Many toys for them to experience. The owner encourages them to interact and he is so fun! Prices are fair and unlike big chain stores, when I need help finding a gift for anything from a baby shower (great non toxic toys), to big kids (games, fidget cubes, spinners and magic tricks), the friendly employees always help me find the perfect thing every time!!!

I brought my 8 year old in to shop for his birthday. We had such a fun time perusing this fun eclectic store! My son had an awesome time picking out treasures for his special day and when he told the cashier it was his birthday, the man informed him that he would be getting a free candy at check out! My son chose a slide whistle lollypop for his free candy, and the man slipped another extra candy in the bag as well! It was a perfect birthday outing for a boy and his Mom.

I love this store! Toys from the 70's and 80s and great candy that isn't in every store that sells candy. The things i loved the best was their salt water taffy and jelly candy! Plus great customer service so without a doubt I will definitely go back and I would recommend.

Tony is so incredibly helpful and generous. We've taken our son in there multiple times only to leave with toys that he Cherishes and loves. It's great to come to a toy store that feels like a toy store from my childhood...when you felt a sense of delight and magic! Great to have a store like this in Placerville!

This store is absolutely magical it reminds me of the original Willy Wonka movie. Such a creative reflection of what we all want for our children to experience. Young or older you can go into the store and you will be in a world of pure imagination. Candy from my childhood, my folks childhood and my Grandma’s childhood. Toys for every interest your kids are into or didn’t even know existed. Such an amazing variety. It is a must stop when you’re in Placerville!!

We love T.W. Bonkers Toy & Candy Emporium. My little boy and I regularly stop in to see what unique toy or game we can purchase this time... They carry a great selection of toys and games, they even sell yummy hand-made chocolates and have an amazing candy selection, (reminds me of when I was a child). They recently opened a retro arcade at the rear of the store, Pacman, Donkey Kong, Air Hockey and more… Tony and all of the employees are friendly and more than happy to assist. We’ve been regular customers for the past 8 years and are looking forward to many more great years ahead!

There are some really creative and teaching toys. They have a great selection of candies. Fun decor and helpful staff. We bought a mixed bag of salt water taffy and not much of it made it 🏡. We took a few pictures, so look there too!

My 4 year old BEGS to go in this store. Such an awesome experience, toys out for all to play with, and they answer all questions and will even sometimes break into a new toy if there isn't one out to check out. There is something for everyone, stocking stuffer type toys, awesome wooden and eco-friendly toys, classic toys that are of good quality, and the best fidget spinner selection around. And putty and slime too! The owner and manager are both AWESOME as well. A classic rad toy store, the kind of place that helps make childhood magical. LOVE THIS GREAT lil' toy store!

My son loves this toy and candy store (and his parents love it too). Great selection of quality toys you're not likely to find at a big box store. My son loves the Hape train display and I'm enjoying the salt water taffy selection a bit too much. There are a number of retro elements to the store ranging from it's toy and candy selection to the mini arcade in the back - be sure to come with quarters and enjoy some Spiderman pinball, Street Fighter, Donkey Kong, Ms Pac Man, or Centipede.!

T.W. Bonkers is the best toy store ever! I’ve done business with Tony and known him as a friend for decades now and he is one of the most upstanding, good natured, caring, and creative individuals I know. And, he has a fantastic sense of humor. I highly recommend his store to anyone living in town or just passing through. Placerville is lucky to have Tony and T.W. Bonkers in their town!

The perfect toy store - unique character, organized, clean, friendly and fun! I wandered into the store to buy something for my niece and nephew. Usually I associate toy stores with Toys R' Us which is to say, chaotic, loud and messy. T.W. Bonkers is quite pleasantly the opposite of that. The place is very clean and organized and you can tell that the owner (who works there) really cares about creating a fun environment -- stocking the store with popular toys, but also unique gems that you likely haven't seen before. The owner spent a good 10-15 minutes talking with me about what I was looking for before going on to do the same thing with the next customer. You can tell when a shopkeeper cares about their store and their customers, and T.W Bonkers is an obvious example of this.

I've been here twice at about the same time of year. Both times I bought birthday presents for my granddaughters. They have some pretty cool, unique gift items for kids that you just dont see everywhere. They also, have a lot of candy that I try to ignore!

My girls beg to go into the toy store every time we are on Main street! Tony ( the owner) is great, a kid at heart himself! We buy great, unique, birthday gifts at T.W. they are always the hit of the party!

Tony has done so well in creating a fun and exciting toy store with a toy for everyone-and now in the candy store, it's every kid's dream! My kids love it there and my son, Drayke, has found a friend in Tony. I love saying "yes" to my kids when they ask to go there; it's always a wonderful experience.
