One afternoon I came in, in search of materials to decorate my nursing graduation cap. Since I had never been to this location, I spent a little longer than I should’ve having to look for everything… since there were no employees to be found. Actually, correction** — there was one employee that I came across. I asked her where I could find the foam letter stickers and she looked at me confused and then quickly told me that they stopped selling them. In my head I was like, «now why the heck would they do that? That’s a popular item for projects/​decorating/​scrapbooking.» For some odd reason, I didn’t believe her, so I ventured around and GUESS what?! I FOUND THEM. –_​_​_​_​_​– I was appalled at how lazy she was, she didn’t even take the time to help me find it, instead she quickly shut me down and said they didn’t have it anymore. I wish I would’ve gotten her name :/​but oh well.
Other than that, this store was pretty organized, clean, and not crowded at all. I was able to find all of the supplies that I needed and on top of that I got discounts! Go to
and find coupons before you come here because they’re so worth it! I used two 40% coupons on my purchases and it saved me a few bucks. Awesomeness!

I was surprised to find that this Michaels is superbly stocked up with anything and everything that I need. I was avidly switching between making adventures to ASW in Westminster or Blick in Fullerton, both of which are fairly far since I’m coming from Anaheim. It is very organized and have a huge supply of everything. The people are super friendly and helpful. It’s basically a creative’s heaven. I love it here.

I’m almost afraid to write this… but this is the best Michaels I’ve visited in awhile! Aisles were nice, neat and clear. Shelves were organized and well stocked. Christmas clearance items were clearly marked and in their place. Hooray! It was a joy to shop here even during the hustle and bustle of the holiday season. I was asked 2 times if I needed assistance and all employees seemed to be happily assisting other customers. The main reason I finally left and paid was because I was hungry! Otherwise could’ve stayed a lot longer. Kudos to the Michaels staff in Buena Park — you guys rock!!!

They had red sharpies. enough said~

I love Michael’s. Excluding the service and pricing, Michael’s is my playground. I feel like an old grandma as I’m writing this but I don’t care. I love all the different crafts they offer, as well as the selection and choices. Also, the 40% off one item coupon that is always available online is such a bonus!
As far as the service goes, I’ve personally never had any issues here. I know a lot of people had complaints about their return policy, but their return policy is pretty fair IMO. Not only that, it’s a company policy so there is nothing the employees at the store can really do. Overall, I always enjoy my visit to Michael’s!

I love this particular Michaels because I found our perfect Christmas tree here!!! On a limb the bf and I decided to go shopping for a Christmas tree after our Thanksgiving dinner. We actually purchased a different type of tree at the Michaels in Fullerton but they didn’t have enough of the frosted branch that I wanted so we came here to see if I could find more branches. My bf decided to look at their selection of trees as I was in the other section looking for my branch and he saw a better tree (Bristol pine) for the same price. There was a sign that said it was out of stock so I decided to ask if we could just get the display tree (Yes! We wanted that particular type of tree that badly lol). The girl at the register was very friendly and accommodating with our request. Long story short they ended up finding the one we liked but brand new (we didn’t have to take the one on display) and we were able to exchange our tree from the other store with no hassle or problem. Everyone here was great despite it being busy and late. Thank you for the great service!

Ok so all Michael’s are pretty much the same right? Overly crowded, messy shelves, teeny aisles, lazy employees, etc…
Not this one! This store is a breath of fresh air, which is why it deserves a review & a high rating. seriously, if you have ever gone to any other Michael’s you would know what i mean about the stores being messy & the aisles being very small. I came here to pick up a couple of items for my DIY halloween costume. I actually spent more than I wanted to in here because they were having amazing discounts on their fall items — 60% off on some stuff!!! Which means I scored this vintage-​ish metal light up sign that was normally $ 60 but got it less than $ 30!
Anyways, the employees are also so helpful. The guy who helped me find the clay aisle seemed to like his job & was happy to help. This is worth the trip if you plan on spending some time at a Michael’s because this one is clean & very open feeling inside.

I used to love the Michael’s location where I lived before, but was disappointed with this one for the past few years until two days ago. I always love the great items they have, but customer service means more than product selection for me. They have the nicest guy there who was very helpful and he was the only person to ask us if we needed help. Nobody has ever done that before at this location. I think his name is Donovan. He went out of his way to make sure we were finding what we needed. Everybody at this store should look to him as a great example of awesome customer service. I hope he’s there the next time I go.

I went to michaels today and all the employees were happy to help me find the shells I was looking for and other materials I needed for the costumes I am making. Everything is organized and clean.

I have to give this Michaels a 5 Star.
There is a ton of selection, the staff here are very helpful and nice.
The store is also very well kept; everything is always in its place. =)

love this place they have a lot of selection for arts and crafts and other art supplies. They have pretty much most of the things i can think of they sell. Aside as the excellent customer service and coupons is a super saver. Let the creativity begin!

This is a great Michaels location. It’s the same as the other Michaels in terms of what they sell and prices, etc. But this is the closest one to me and I’m satisfied with it.
The customer service is great. Every time I’ve needed help finding something I can always quickly locate someone to help me and I get help in a quick and friendly manner.
You’ll find lots of cute items here that you wouldn’t find elsewhere! I love when I find awesome home décor because I never come in here looking for any of that but I’ll end up leaving with some of it. They have all the typical craft items but they don’t have fabric, just like all of the other Michaels locations.
Look online for coupons. There’s always a coupon available and there always seems to be some sort of sale going on as well. They always hand me coupons when I’m in the store and checking out too.
All in all it’s a good Michaels. In terms of craft stores, I prefer Joann because there’s so much more there but when I need a quick and common item I’ll go to Michaels.

Do you wanna go to Michaels?
Come on, lets go and shop
park the car,
Lets go inside
And play
Do you wanna go to Michaels
It doesnt have to be Michaels
Michaels, your one stop destination for things that are creative, artsy and fun. Located in downtown Buena Park across from the mall, offering ample parking and plenty of coupons.
Walking through Michaels, and isles and isles of craft materials. Lots if things from back in the day, where you can say, «oh yea, I remember that.» Its like a crafting dream.
I do like making things other than food and Michaels has a good supply of crafty things from frames, to ribbons, art supplies, holiday décor, you name it they have it. They also sell cut teacher things for classroom projects.
I like Michaels, but would never go without a coupon and neither should you.

I’ve been coming to this Michaels for years. It was dangerous when I was 16 and started working at the PetSmart next door. Oh man! My checks were spent before I even got them between working in a pet store and next to a craft store, it was a wonder I ever actually had money and a savings back then.
Though personally Hobby Lobby is my go to place for crafts now simply because they’re a decent amount cheaper than Michaels, I’ll still stop by Michaels because they actually carry some items that HL does not.
I think of all the Michaels I’ve been to, this is my favorite location. The staff is nice and down to Earth and are ALWAYS looking to help their customers save a couple extra dollars by loading up on the coupons. I always forget that you can use multiple coupons so long as they all work out. Other locations either wont remind you or tell you they will only take 1 of the coupons so pick wisely. Sort of a bust so I make it a point to come to this location. Not to mention, if your Michaels app is acting wonky, they always have a set of coupons sitting at the register to use just in case… as long as you get a cashier that’s on their game! I’ve gone to other locations and had my app act funky and they tell me all well, «Next time.»
Besides, this location tends to put me in the spirit more than the others for some reason. It could be the friendly staff and the holiday themed wall of wreaths behind them all yr long.

Went to this location because I went to the Fullerton location the day before and I just wanted to check out another store. The Christmas mesh was on sale for 50 percent off which is what I was after however the sign still had Tuesdays 60 percent off sale. I advise the Clerk of this and really 50 percent off was just fine but she made me wait while she had the floor staff check if the signs were in fact still up. In two places even. Then she continues to ring up my purchase and doesn’t give me the 60 percent off even though she made me wait while it was being checked.
I really didn’t mind the price difference it was only a dollar, however the fact that she made me wait while she had the floor staff check the sign and then didn’t give me the additional discount just flabbergasted me. Also at this location the staff is not knowledgeable about crafts and arts which is unfortunate because it’s a crafts and arts store. I think I’ll continue to stay at Fullerton even though it’s a smaller kind of dinky store. Got my mesh and made my wreath at least.

This is a huge Michaels! Very neat & clean!
It was easy to find someone to answer a few questions we had!
Easy to find a parking spot! I like this shopping center!

I like the people who work @ this location because they’re really nice. Always amazing service :)
I went here to get some knitting supplies and I haven’t knitted in awhile so I needed some help on the pattern I was working on. No one in the store who was working @ the time knitted, but the girl who helped me out tried her best and kept me laughing through the whole experience. They didn’t have a great selection of yarn, but that’s to be expected because they’re not a fabric store.
I wouldn’t recommend picking this store for all your knitting needs, but if you’re just looking for one or two things this place will help you get the job done, no problem. Overall it was a good experience.

I gave them two stars because they really do have a good selection of items. However, I suggest if you go here, that you bring along some lighter fluid and matches because you have to practically set yourself ablaze to get someone to help you. If you are lucky enough to find someone, there’s a pretty good chance they can’t or won’t be willing to help you. I get my reading glasses there because they’re inexpensive and I buy several pair at a time. Last time I went in, I set myself on fire to get a clerk’s attention, and the conversation went like this:
Me: Excuse me, do you know where the reading glasses have been moved to? They’re not in the same place as they were the last time I bought them.
Clerk: I don’t know where they moved them.
Me: Uh, thanks?
See what I mean?

Craft ’til your heart contents!
I am a sporadic crafter. I go though bouts of needing a little project to do to not crafting at all. But if you have any little crafty type project you need to do this is your place. They are forever having a sale on something and they send out a ad in the newspaper EVERYWEEK where you can get 40% of one item and 50% off framing. That’s a pretty good deal for framing.
They sale a bit of every type of crafty thing from school project stuff, to holiday type craft stuff and during the summer they have a ton of things to keep your little active crumb-​snatcher busy. I usually like to come here to get my nieces things if I’m going to visit them. They have everything for simple coloring books to elaborate jewelry making kits for kids. They even have things to keep adults busy.
Michaels is an equal opportunity age defying craft place. You can even start your own business doing stamping or making earrings or something! The is really no end to what they carry. Once in a great while they will discontinue things but usually they have it.
This store can sometimes get a bit messy after a sale but the staff seems to try and keep it neat! The lines always seem to move pretty quickly and besides keeping the store clean the staff is friendly and nice. There is always plenty of parking as well.

I now know the perfect time to get all my framing needs at Michael’s: The week of Christmas!
Practically all the frames are 40−60% off and there’s an additional 20% off coupon in their ad!
My BF had surprised me with some limited editions Audrey Kawasaki artwork for Xmas so needed frames to protect them so I got a pack of (3) 12.5×12.5 black frames for only $ 9 after all the sales! (Originally it was $ 20)
Pic:
They look even more gorgeous now! :D
They had a RAD 36″ x 24 «pewter frame that would’ve been PERFECT for my Know Your Streetfighters poster but unfortunately don’t have room for it just yet.
Will definitely come again (but during this time) for my artwork framing needs!
