The coffee is amazing. The pumpkin cheesecake roll amazing! Would come here Everytime I'm paid…read more Queer friendly and such.

So this place is right up my alley. Dragon's Roost has been around for years. It used to be in Sylvania, then Holland. Now it's in West Toledo, on Sylvania Avenue, just east of Pa Jolly's and just west of the Chessie Circle Trail crossing. This is by far the best spot. THIS is EXACTLY where a place like this belongs. Atmosphere: Two-story building. Upstairs is gaming tables and the like. Downstairs is the café plus games, miniatures, and books for sale. Coffee: Damned good, and the menu is huge. Personally I like the Dark Lord and the Dragon's Breath. Both are mocha-style drinks flavored with hot peppers (ghost and cayenne). D'sR also serves breakfast, cookies, pastries, hotdogs and so on. I haven't eaten here yet. Staff: Friendly and accommodating. Hours: Longer than what's listed on Yelp or the website (in fact, the site doesn't look like it's been updated in about a year). During the week they actually open at 7 a.m. every day, including Monday, and close at 10 p.m. Weekend hours are a little different. So if you're a closet geek, like me, this place is for you. You can can go in, ostensibly for the coffee, but soak up the nerditude while you're there. But if you don't wanna blow your cover, make sure you do so after a heavy leg day at Super Fitness. 5 stars!!

Great at communicating very appreciative of their customer support. Reliable and incredibly…read morepositive business experience. Even when I've had issues with an order they are prompt and very responsive! Will shop here again and again! I had an order that was pending when notified, they were very prompt and kept me posted while investigating. When unable to locate the package they were sure to make sure I was satisfied and happy with the next order I placed and responded to any question I had.

The selection of games is impressive. They have everything from smaller games that you might find…read moreat your favorite book stores, to exclusive and hard to find kickstarter games that we have only seen online otherwise. The selection is great for beginners, seasoned players, families, adult board game nights and single player games. Games we have gotten here include but are not limited to: Bardsung, Zombicide, several Japanime games, TCGs, Epic 7 Arise, Dont go there, BananaCat, Chainsomnia, Moonstone, Canvas, ISS Vangaard, Disney Arena, and so so many more. Lastly, the location is fantastic (they just moved to the new location). its in a cute little town right on the river. Scenic and pretty with extremely cute shops and restaurants. Highly recommend going here for all your board game and TCG needs. They do a fantastic job of ordering games for people that they might not carry initially and their stock of games is constantly being added to with newly released games and old favorites.

This is a game store. It says so in the name. Yes, it sells comics because most gamers also like…read morecomics, but it is primarily a game store. And it's an excellent one. The place is a nice size. I'm new to the Midwest from the East Coast and everything seems large to me, but the Game Room has at last ten large tables at which people can play games. When I stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon, there was a dude teaching some complicated card game to two people at one of the tables. They do demos regularly here (like every Saturday) and it's a great way to learn a new game before plunking down the money. I offhandedly mentioned a game I love that they stopped making in the 80s. A staff person knew about it and introduced me to 2 similar games. He talked a lot about play time, learning curve, and other ways of distinguishing. He knew what he was talking about. The selection of games was interesting. A million and a half miniatures were up in the biggest room and a very good selection of nerdy board games.in a smaller room. These are the types of games for players that think Settlers is a good entry level. However, the D&D selection was a little sparse. They had all the way back to Second Edition for sale, but it was a hodge podge comprising one largish bookcase as compared to the space devoted to the other games. If you're looking for a comic shop, I'd give it about three and a half stars. It had a nice selection of back issues-- which is kind of unnecessary in the Ebay age, but nice all the same. The selection of new issues was good for this week, but last week's comics were long gone. If you've got a pull list and go every Wednesday, you'll be fine, but it's not really for a once a month shopper. The environment is a little dingy. It has the feeling of your mom's basement, which is probably where you played most of your games, and is therefore a little charming. It didn't seem dirty or smelly, but it looked a little worn. What they lack in aesthetic charm, they really make up in those tables upon tables to play games with games out for display. I can't wait to make this place a weekly visit.

Been in here often enough now that I feel I can properly review the store and staff. Upgrading from…read moremy "tip" earlier. The staff here is likely knowledgeable when it comes to games, which I don't play many of the types of games they offer her. Just not my cup of tea. On the comics side, which I feel is enough to review them on, since it is advertised on the sign, there is a large selection, but it's not that great. Mostly new books, yes there are rows of back issues, but it's all common stuff, nothing a big collector needs. The staff that is here most of the time doesn't know a lot about the comics side of the store, the few times I've asked I've been told the comics guy is only there on Wednesdays. Such is life. Luckily for me I know the comics industry well enough to not need a lot of help with my choices. It's a good shop for comics, just not great.
