We were looking for some unique board games and toys. This store has it all - a large selection of…read moreunique items sure to enthrall just about any customer. We purchased a couple of games from Japan, and some cute toys -things that you cannot easily find at your local big box store. Service was so friendly and the vibes were great at this store.

You know when you see those sweet geeky gadgets online and your like "man, I wish I knew a place…read morethat sold these!", well look no further, this is it! Uber Cool Stuff has everything from board games, to cool toys, to art, to kitchen wares. I really like to come here when I'm stuck for a gift and want to get someone something really cool and unique. I've purchased salt and pepper fooseball players, a bbq skewer that has the handle of a sword, and pot holders that look like records. The owner of this store is very active on twitter which is really nice when you need to ask about anything. The store is also attached to a vintage clothing store which has some pretty cool stuff. I do find Uber Cool Stuff to be a bit expensive. However, I haven't compared their prices to stores online (plus shipping costs) so it may end up being on par. Either way, if you are looking for a spot to find some cool stuff for a friend or you want to get something fun for your house, go here, you wont be disappointed.

I have been a customer of this shop since at least 1997…read more The staff is always friendly and knowledgeable with good recommendations on new stuff coming out. The owners help with difficult to order items. The shop hosts many geek community events like card night and games. They take part in the annual comic shop crossover which promotes local geek culture. The owners are also part of the organizing committee that runs Forest City Comicon which is a wonderful and welcome edition to the London festival and convention scene. The store is very well laid out and organized. They also take part in a loyalty program called Vicinity which many other shops also take part in so less rewards cards in your wallet. Centrally located and easily accessible by public transport (multiple routes). A great spot to buy all things nerdy and geeky!

I've been progressively coming back over this year to L.A Mood and things have gotten a little…read morebetter. The board game section is much more focused (though the staff, aside from maybe 3 including owners in that number, still seem to know little or offer little assistance in this area) I'n okay with that I do my due diligence usually before heading in but it would be nice if I find that rare item I've never heard of for them to at least fake and interest and possibly look it up! Still the selection and fact that they carry some of the heavier things Uber doesn't usually will keep me popping in to see what's new. Alas, the MtG's will always rule this shop and I'm okay with that too... but I still hold out hope and at least no rude 'there's the door' innuendos anymore... in fact I haven't seen that employee in my time back coming in... odd... (or not)
