Fantasy Island Adult Book Store

Fantasy Island Adult Book Store on State Road in Northeast Philadelphia is a family-owned shop, in business since the late 1970s, with a compact retail floor and viewing booths in back. Reviewers praise the front staff as friendly and welcoming, especially once they recognize regulars, and note that although the shop is small, the toy and novelty selection is thoughtfully chosen and steadily refreshed rather than overwhelming. The booths, which draw a largely male cruising crowd, are repeatedly described as roomy and clean, and many visitors say they feel comfortable and safe there. The clearest caution is a lone report of a clerk mistaking a customer for someone else and turning them away over a misunderstanding. A fit for shoppers who want a tidy neighborhood adult store and, for the booth crowd, a welcoming and well-kept space.
