Castle Megastore

Super nice staff, a neat variety of things but they were a little pricey.

This place looked sketchy from the outside. I had a feeling it was catering to the straight crowd (no offense) and was wary of going in. I’m glad I did anyway because I was wrong. They have A LOT of stuff. They have a wall full of lube. I know there’s a lot of brands out there but they seem to really favor Jo. Odd considering I’ve never heard of it and I’ve been to a few sex stores in my day. The main brands I have heard of or used weren’t sold here. Guess everyone has a preference and Jo must obviously do well (sales wise) or else why would they carry it?
Anyway, they have a lot of stuff here as I mentioned. They have lingerie, lots of lube, lots of sexy male briefs, dildos, harnesses and whips. It was all neatly organized.
The one Asian employee who helped us was extremely friendly and helpful. When we didn’t need any help, they didn’t bother us or anything. I definitely didn’t feel creeped out by any means. It was a very relaxed, casual environment that allowed me to look around without feeling like I should get out asap or buy something right away.

i *finally* went to the new location.
Sad to say i’m not a fan.
With everything condensed into a much smaller space, it does feel like you’re being hovered over or constantly moving out of someones way.
three stars cause i’m still pro Castle anyway

Christopher is so helpful! I walked in with my boyfriend a few times and on my own for some fun stocking stuffers and Christopher was available (without being pushy), friendly (without being creepy) very helpful, extremely knowledgeable about products and just pleasurable.
Christopher even offered to contact me when a product I was looking for came in.
He’s the best! So nice to be able to have fun and good customer service too. Makes the entire experience fun instead of shameful or weird like other stores can be.

Every time i have gone to castles I have been constantly harassed by a staff member. You think that saying «I’m just looking «. Would be enough to give you some privacy. It’s not. It’s obvious they work on some sort of commission other wise they would let you browse in peace. Stay out of my sexual perversions or I will go to Amazon who never harass me!

I went to this store forever ago, and just never got around to writing a review, but here goes. Going into a sex store can be really intimidating, especially when you don’t entirely know what you’re looking for, so it’s almost inevitable that you’re going to end up asking lots of embarrassing questions. Aside from completely ridiculous parking on Cap Hill (not their fault), this place is great. They have an awesome selection of stuff, and the staff is generally very nice.

Staff was very helpful
Great selection.
Parking can be difficult

I’ve been to other adult stores on Capitol Hill, and Castle is the best of the lot. They are all about the education, not the image. Travis guided me to some excellent products today, with not an awkward moment. I’ll be returning again. I’m quite surprised that after all my years in the Seattle area, I just heard about Castle.

It was an okay store. Very heteronormative and not much selection for trans people like babeland. It was a very awkward experience and I didnt even want to redeem my Unilocal reward here for the calendar. At least it seems pretty inexpensive.

Leslie and Travis were a great help. I will come back again, they really have everything!.. even a demo for the electric wand thingy. I would recommend trying the demo, it is really fun!

This shop has to be the weirdest review I have ever done, but the customer service was so excellent I had to write one. Leslie was awesome! She was very knowledgable and made my experience much more comfortable and informative. I left knowing more than I entered knowing, and the professionalism and joking mannerism of both employees makes me want to come back. Thank you you Leslie for your invaluable input!

I came in earlier with a few friends and was immediately greeted by a gentleman by the name of John. He took the time to show us around, had many suggestions and knowledge on the products he was selling. I would recommend stopping in and hopefully you receive the customer service I did.

I personally love this store. I have never gotten anything less than fabulous service, and the sales people are always knowledgable, attentive, and courteous. They had nearly everything I was looking for and suggested new items that ended up being great. It’s also easy to reach. Castle is a great store!

castle… unfortunately located next to the eyes of leering hipster punx at the highline, it’s a decent store. babeland ain’t my thing, it’s TOO personal and TOO welcoming and like i am either in here browsing with my friends because it’s fun to do that, or i’m here to buy stuff that i really don’t want an employee giving me advice on. castle is kind of a nice, bleak, plain shop, and i really do mean that in the best way possible. the employees are friendly and will bullshit with you… if you want. they know their stuff and don’t make you feel weird about buying shit, by being overly intrusive or acting like you’re not at a sex shop. i dunno, all over it’s cool, and the right environment for what it is. also, a distinct lack of creepy patrons, located in a non-​creepy area, and usually staffed by a male and female, which is cool.
also hella porn if that’s your thing.

It’s definitely no Babeland, but Castle definitely fulfills a demand and at a very fair price. Recently their clothing selection has nearly doubled and yet the prices are still great. Sure, you’re not going to get amazing quality here (the corset boning is DEFINITELY going to warp after one or two wears, but hey, for $ 25 can you really expect anything more?), but variety and affordability are what they’re clearly pushing.
Friendly staff, clean environment, no creepy vibes, and good prices on middle-​of-​the-​line apparel and accessories. I’m a happy camper!
Tip: If you sign up for their mailing list, they’ll send you a 20% off voucher good towards your next purchase, which can make a pretty big difference here!

The staff at Castle is A-​MAZ-​ING. Holy helpful, I was super impressed. I was able to get candid customer service. I only went in looking for one simple thing, and they were able to offer all kinds of advice and motivational support.
I also inquired about purchasing a replacement charger for this vibe I have that runs on lithium ion batteries. With no fanfare whatsoever, they were able to locate some replacements they had for demo models, and provided it free of charge. Such NICE people.
It can be a bit intimidating shopping at a sex store as a female, but the staff here makes it such a pleasant experience. Super impressed!

It’s not super fancy, but that’s not really what I need from a sex store. All I require is non-​creepy, clean, and well-​lit and Castle has all of that!
I cant say I’ve purchased many of their cheap sex toy product (it looks like a standard selection, maybe even wider than usual) but they have nice lube (I recommend the Jo brand) and in expensive lingerie in boxes. It fits well, looks good, and lets face it– this stuff only gets used a couple of times anyway. I really dont need a $ 70 teddy from Victoria’s Secret.
I’ve generally left the vast porn and novelty card selection alone. They do have a bunch of bachelorette party gear if that’s what you’re looking for.
The staff is helpful and non weird and they leave me alone while I shop.

This place is fun and funny. Entertaining. Playful. The people that work there — super friendly and helpful — the last guy that helped us told us he’s a boylesque performer (how cool!)
Need a naughty costume? We like them here.
:P

Cock.
Balls.
Penis.
Buttplug.
If you are uncomfortable reading these words, than you should stop, collaborate and listen before heading into Castle Megastore. However if like me, you are in dire need of anything and everything penis for a bachelorette party gone awry, than this is your place.
The staff was exceptionally helpful in helping me find glow in the dark penis straws, hen party sashes, blinking tiaras, necklace shot glasses, it was like a veritable Dr. Seuss book of sexy sexy bachelorette goodness. I didn’t wander far from the girly gag gift and party favor area, but I did note some fabulous costumes, lingerie, sex toys, and videos throughout the store.
For each $ 50 I spent, I scored $ 10 off and they even tossed in a free game for the happy couple (Something like ‘Oooooo Now *that’s* an orgasm.’)
Overall, if you’re hard up for the penis in any way, shape or form (yes… even in cupcake tins), this is your place.

Points for being open until 2am!!!
Every once in a great while I find myself here with some friends. I’ve never been at strange hours of the night, but I’ve seen pictures of friends posing with giant dildos at sometime after midnight.
It’s not fancy or anything, but they’ve got a lot of stuff and some of it is kind of entertaining when you’re not feeling particularly serious. (I’ve heard rumors that the staff like to play around with lube a lot. I’m not sure how I feel about it yet.)
The most recent visit, however, was relatively serious. One of my friends needed to buy some lube that didn’t smell funny like the other stuff she had and she decided this was the place she wanted to go to get it. We ended up asking one of the employees for suggestions, and he helped her pick out one that she liked. He also let us know what lube he prefers to use for keeping a colorful new tattoo well-​moisturized. heh. In any case– she picked one out, we browsed random items for a while, and then checked out and took off.
Note: They have a bigger selection of Bachelorette Party items and games than Babeland does.
It’s a strange place, but… it can provide entertainment… and if you’re doing some actual shopping there’s plenty of variety if you want to have an array of items to choose from.
The nice thing is that if you decide you want a place that’s cleaner and fancier and whatnot, you can easily take the short walk over to Babeland.
