    After checking out various board game stores all over Southern California, I have to say that Board Game paradise (BGP) in Redlands is by far the best. The selection of games is massive. The staff are well informed, friendly, and helpful. The location is in a quaint area of Redlands with plenty of unique restaurants and shopping. There was a 75% off sale the day I went. They have different game nights going everyday of the week. If you are in to board games, this is the place to be.

    Wow! A large selection of board games not just one version of a game but all the versions, colors and series. Reasonable pricing all within the threshold of their open door. Inviting and welcoming staff we were greeted and made to feel at home to look around and see what they had to offer. Super cool stuff! You gotta stop by to see this place, it's pretty awesome! Easy parking to get in and out. Daily events and meet ups like chess in the park. Great for game fans!

    Very good selection of Dungeons and Dragons miniatures, pre-painted and ready to paint.

    When I learned there was a new boardgame store in Redlands I was excited because not only is it a popular activity, Covid-19 aside, I've been an avid gamer since the 4th grade and was playing Dungeons and Dragons regularly by the 5th grade. Games then were so 'old school' but stimulating for creativity, strategy, and tactics. Applied logic in other words. Today's games are a diverse array for all ages and Boardgame Paradise lives up to its moniker because it includes so many choices and accessories that it's surprising they all fit so neatly in the given space. Clean, bright and with shiny wooden flooring the setting is inviting. For example, follow the river overlay to the children's section where games and puzzles suitable for a wide age span are neatly presented. Fun stuff! Do you like or want to try role playing games (RPGs)? If so, then the section on the wall with Dungeons and Dragons books, starter sets, miniatures you can paint (a plethora of colors are also available), or buy pre-painted are available to start your next campaign. Need card sleeves (recommended to keep those dirty mits from smudging artwork)? They also have a vast selection for every popular size such as Tarot, US and European mini, US and European standard and so on. Looking up is advisable since most sections have oversized Scrabble pieces arranged for the area bellow. My favorite is the huge "Heavyweight" game section that features medium to advanced games such as Gloomhaven and the expansions, Lord of the Rings and War of the Rings (the former uses a nifty app to guide the flow of the game). These games typically have lots of parts, geomorphic gameboards, and intricate miniatures that you can choose to paint. In the back is a small gameroom where Monday nights new games are taught. See Discord, Facebook and Instagram for monthly schedules and other events. The dice section alone is worth the look, so many colors, materials, and functions! I also appreciated the chess equipment. The classic strategy game deserves its due and while you could spend a fortune on a sweet board and pieces, here's a tip: Real pros use simple vinyl roll-up boards, weighted plastic pieces, and a clock for 10-minute games, or the heart rate increasing 5-minute competitions. Prices are MSRP but here's why supporting a local store is important. First, the packaging won't be damaged or mishandled. Second, knowledgeable staff. Third, there's a toy store next door so the neighbors are compatible. Finally, the owner, Richard, is passionate about his business and really loves games and wants everyone else to see how fun they are. Whether it's a co-op game for 3 or more, or just Monopoly, there's something here that you might find interesting.

    Owner, players and fantastic staff

The inside has a really cozy and aesthetic vibe, and one thing I thought was super cool is that you can actually sit and draw, then put your artwork up in the shop. It gives the place a really creative and community feel that makes it stand out from other tea spots. The worker was super nice and helpful, especially since I was being really indecisive about what to get. They took their time to explain things and helped me decide without making it feel rushed at all. I got the matcha latte, and I absolutely loved it. It was smooth, well balanced, and just really comforting without being too heavy or overly sweet. I also tried a few drinks off my friends' orders, like the Assam + Oat and the Barley + Sea Cream. The Assam + Oat had a really deep, bold tea flavor that paired nicely with the creamy oat milk, making it smooth but still strong. The Barley + Sea Cream was more unique, with a light roasted, nutty taste from the barley and a rich, slightly salty cream top that made it really interesting and different in a good way. It's a really cozy spot that highlights the tea experience in a simple but thoughtful way, and I'd definitely come back.

Hoji shared the same parking lot with a coffee shop we're familiar with! On a Sunday afternoon, there was plenty of parking. When you walk up to the store, there isn't a sign on the outside. Before walking in, there's also a posted sign that says only 10 people at a time. We counted about 6 people, and proceeded to walk in. The decor is timeless and vintage. Super cool to look at and enjoy. We turned around and there was the cashier. It definitely is a small as can be. We took a bit of time looking at the menu and then deciding our drinks. We were a bit indecisive, but settled on their Rose Salted Cream and their Hojicha Black Sesame. The cashier was a bit interesting and didn't bother to help us or explain anything. He had us repeat our order a few times out of inattentiveness. It wasn't loud in there, but he definitely wasn't listening. Immediately after our order, he goes on his phone. Another worker had finished making a drink for a customer, and had to nudge the cashier to let him know the drink was ready. Even then, he wasn't on alert about it and made a face at the customer who stood up to grab the drink. Our drinks came out fairly quickly. We took our photos and left to sit in the car. It was quite small and stuffy in there. Our drinks were delightful! You can definitely taste the hojicha. The black sesame didn't overpower the drink, as for the rose salted cream, it was flowery enough. The boba itself was definitely handmade and perfectly chewy. I can understand why this store's drinks are a favorite. I deducted a star because of the service and attitude. We walked out the door saying goodbye, and even then, they didn't seem to care. The customer service here is lacking, but at least the drinks are decent. I might wait to see if any changes are made to their workers before coming back to try again.

We got a quick greeting at the door and then were left to fend for ourselves in the Marvel wilderness. The store is super organized and visually on point. My son made a beeline for the Spider‑Man section like it was calling his name. My daughter, who has zero interest in comics, appreciated that they also sell books, tees, Funko Pops, and other merch so she didn't have to pretend to care about Peter Parker's problems. Checkout was smooth, and the cashier immediately pitched their membership program. Totally fine, it's a one‑time fee, not a monthly situation but we're just not ready to invest in that level of comic commitment yet. Prices were reasonable: about seven bucks for most issues and one $35 comic my son proudly bought with his own money. I let him live his best life. The plot twist came a week later when he sat down to read everything... and realized he accidentally bought three copies of the same comic because the covers were different. Variant covers: 1. Newbies: 0. A tiny heads‑up from the cashier would've saved us from the accidental collector's edition starter pack. All that said, the store is clean, cool, and has the exact comic‑shop vibe you expect. We'll definitely be back, just with a little more research and maybe a checklist so we don't accidentally buy the trilogy of the same issue again. Great spot overall, just not the most newbie‑friendly. But we'll return, now slightly wiser and definitely more cautious around pretty cover art.
