Pro Tip: if you order any food or drink, you can rent out any game they have on the rental shelfs for free. The have a variety of two player games, party games, strategy games, card canes, etc to rent. All the way from easy games for kids to challenging games for more demanding games. The staff at the rental counter and the cafe were the friendliest and gave excellent recommendations in games. The games they have for sale cover many popular choices but also lesser known games. They also sell gaming accessories such as D100 dice!!! Oh my! The cafe even has a 3D printed dice tower if you want to choose the fate of your food order. lol! There is limited alcohol here and the food is mostly snacks, but they do have sliders and chicken tenders, pop, liquid death, a couple of canned alcoholic drinks. For a whopping $12 I spent on food, I got to try 4 games, and.....it was karaoke night and we sang songs with random strangers in the specially reservable room they had. You could select the songs on the machine or through an app. They could use a little more variety in the song list that have but a lot of the popular suns are there. I can't wait to go back and try some more games. Parking was street parking and a little challenging but there are side streets too with street parking. The store itself had super modern and clean look, games well displayed, and nice and air conditioned on a warm day. Even the bathrooms have some hygiene products and are unisex! Oh yeah did I mention that are open late. 1am on a Friday night. I would seriously recommend this place to anyone!

I've picked up free redemption codes through Gamestop before for Pokémon shiny codes (or event…read morecodes). It's never been an issue before to swing in and grab a free code (which the Pokemon Company AND Gamestop advertise it as), even a day or two after release. This time the code was for Scarlet/Violet, Shiny Miraidon/Koraidon depending on which version of the game you have. Get to this location shortly after opening (on 9/26/25) and it's ridiculously busy with people all in line trying to buy new Pokémon cards (and possibly Magic?). That's fine- however, we then learn that we are *REQUIRED* to spend $15 in order to get the *free* code. I understand one per person, that's entirely fair...but these are supposed to be free. I watched a young man get turned away because he didn't have money, he asked if he could show them his switch to prove he has played this game and loves it; he wasn't rude, he wasn't a re-seller, he was just a guy who loves his Pokemon game. He didn't have $15 to spend for his free code and they told him they couldn't help him because the District Manager told them that morning that people must spend $15 to get the code, to avoid re-sellers (5 minutes prior to this, another guy was irritated and insisted on the fact they're supposed to be free and she handed him two codes because she didn't want to "argue over a piece of paper". What?? She apologized and was mostly kind, but I can't understand the idea that this is okay. If I had chosen to be rude, would I have gotten my code for free? Neither employee was rude to us, the gentleman who rang us out for something we didn't want was quick and kind about it but this can't actually be allowed.. when we left I saw that same young man outside in absolute tears because he was turned away (and shouldn't have been). I hope he is able to somehow get his code, I gave mine to my younger brother (who is stuck at school) or I'd have given him mine. Most of the people in the store wanted to buy cards, and based on the way they were acting about it I am certain they are in fact re-sellers. So how is it a deterrent when those people are already spending enough money to get the code? Something doesn't seem right here. I went ahead and called the Clackamas store to inquire if we needed to spend money to get a code (so I could try to get one for myself since I gave mine to my brother) and they told me no, you just have to come in to the store and it's one per person. These stores should have the same District Manager..so who is lying? I won't be spending money at the Eastport location anymore because I don't think the manager there was being truthful.. I also work retail and I know that things can be cruddy sometimes, but I don't lie to people so my store gets more money and Pro Sign-Ups ‍

Crepes and board games? Wut?…read more It took some convincing from my kid for me to agree to come here. I like tabletop games and crepes both but the combination seemed too novel to be any good either way. Holy crap was I mistaken. Not only is this place massive inside, they have the friendliest staff, an absolutely huge selection of games (both for purchase or available to play onsite), and a really great community of players. But the food, you say, how are these crepes? Well, we ordered three different ones, 2 sweet and 1 savory, and all of them were extremely tasty. Before we even left we were already making plans for our next visit. This place is an absolute gem.

Here's the deal:…read more Game store? 5 stars. Great selection, decent prices, friendly staff, no complaints from me here. Crepes? 0 stars. Slapdash, low-quality, waste of time and money. 'Crepes' is right there in the name, guys, and there is an absolute dearth of good crepes in PDX - we lost Le Happy, we lost Suzette, and man I was hoping that maybe this spot would help fill in the gap a little. What I was served was basically the kind of frozen-and-re-heated thing you'd serve to your toddler, who would play with it while you badgered them to finish it. The crepe itself was okay, made fresh, but the filling? I got a Chicken Parm crepe that felt like somebody stuffed it with frozen chicken nuggets, spooned some red sauce out of a big jar of Prego, and threw in a few shreds of deli cheese. Meat was barely warm in the middle. Cheese was not melted. Flavour was altogether bland. Honestly the first crepe was so bad we canceled the rest of the order, and the guy didn't look surprised at all. I'm guessing they're used to people being disappointed with the food they're served. When you're working with so few ingredients, you have got to nail every one. I honestly think the plain crepe with butter and cinnamon sugar would've been a better experience. Super disappointing. Honestly at that location, it's a HUGE opportunity to fill an empty niche - step up your game!!

Prices on new books can be a bit high, which is typical, but there are often used options too. The service is usually fast and friendly.

Due to an appointment in Oregon I got the pleasure to finally swing by and check one of them out... and WOW! I was in readers heaven. I felt like the pricing was a bit steep on some books but for the most part it's kind of worth it. The only weird vibe I had here was the staff. Yes, they were polite, but they were all so robotic. There was one lady who I swear asked me every four minutes without ever looking up at me "are you finding everything okay?" and even checking out the man at the counter hardly acknowledged me or spoke so much as the price my purchase was. Just a weird vibe to me, but then again, everyone has bad days.

TL;DR summary: BUY ALL YOUR COMICS HERE! Had a stellar…read moreexperience selling here. Owners & staff are super friendly, super knowledgeable, and LOVE comics. Backstory: When my dad died a couple years ago, I inherited his not inconsiderable collection of original Marvel Comics from the early '60s. We're talking key early run issues of some key series: Avengers, X-Men, among others. All in fairly good shape, though not mint. Single owner collection, since my dad was a bit of a hoarder, and kept them all from the moment he bought them off a newsstand by Wrigley Field, and then in the '80s once he heard that they might be valuable, moved them to Ziplocs in a safety deposit box where they sat until 2016. The process to get them officially graded & "slabbed" by CGC is expensive and time consuming (and apparently not really worth it for mid-grade comics, which I could tell these were from CGC criteria online--solid 4-6s on the 10 point scale), so after a family friend helped me get them properly stored in mylar with acid free backboards, I visited Excalibur with a few samples from the collection. From the moment I walked in, I had good vibes. I could tell that the staff (especially Shawn, who was my main contact point there) was excited to see these books, not principally for their monetary value, but because they just LOVE comics, the history of comics, and the pleasure of looking at a good book. They were up front with me: they have to buy for less than market value, because that's what makes business sense. For low value comics, that's about 25%, but for higher value, rare comics that they can move in a day, they are willing to negotiate. My husband and I came back the next day with the whole collection, and Shawn went through each book carefully with me, with an open price guide on the table between us, noting down an estimated value. Again, I could tell he was just excited to get to handle books like these, and he made great conversation with me about printing & subscription practices in the day, common faults like "Marvel chipping" that affects these books in particular, and he was also happy to listen to my stories about how my dad probably bought these right off a newsstand by Wrigley Field in Chicago when he was 14 years old. Then the owner (Debbie, I believe) came in, and we negotiated a price that I was happy with for the whole collection, and she told me how her family opened this place years ago because of her mom's love of comics. Financial concerns aside, I felt good just knowing that these treasures, which were an important part of my dad's childhood, are going to folks who will make sure they wind up with collectors who truly appreciate them. As an extra classy bonus, when we were done negotiating, Shawn came out and gifted me the six mint condition original issues of Star Wars: Dark Empire, which he'd heard me mention as a favorite comic from my childhood. POSTSCRIPT: More class act service--so after depositing the check, I got a notice from my bank that it bounced. My husband went down to ask what had happened, and Debbie was there--apparently they had a bank/computer hack and crisis over the weekend, and she was trying to contact us, but like idiots we didn't leave any information. Even though they had a much bigger problem to deal with, she immediately went to the bank and got him cash, with an extra 2.5% tacked on that he did not ask for just for our trouble. This is a 100% class act family business. BUY ALL YOUR COMICS HERE!
