If they don't have what you're looking for, they'll quickly volunteer to special order it for you. Moreover, when someone new to comic books visits the shop, they're quick to offer advice that compliment their tastes. They don't push their own likes or dislikes, they ask what kind of stuff they're into and make recommendations based on that. I thoroughly recommend the store, whether you're a new reader or something looking to renew a pull list.

I was surprised to see so many things on sale for 50% off when we stopped in! I bought a book for myself and a board book for my baby nephew for $17 total, after the 50% discount. I regret not stocking up on graphic novels while they were half off! I doubt this discount will exist the next time I stop in... Brain Lair Books also hosts about 7 different book clubs - I'll be joining the romance one when I move here in a year-ish. The bookseller on staff the day we stopped in was also so kind and very funny! Make sure to stop by this well-curated, local bookstore next time you find yourself in the South Bend area!

Wow is all I can say. How could I be so lucky to stumble across this gem. Back in the day when I…read morelived in South Bend this location was a hardware store with a neighborhood grocery store next door. Kathy, the owner took time to greet me and my sister and chat with us. We're both book lovers and we're impressed with the selection. I brought my friend back hours later who is also a book lover along with my two nieces. Again, Kathy was very personable, shared why she opened the bookstore. There is something for everyone here. There's even a little nook with a pillow seat for me and my niece to read a book together. You have to check this place out. If you don't live books you know someone who does so why not support a small business. We all left with a book!

I still miss the Orbit Music Store of the 90's; it sold lots of cool items in addition to music and…read moreincense. However, the selection of music is good and I'm happy to see this store surviving on some level. I love the 5 for a dollar section that allows me to get some retail therapy while spending next to nothing. I listen to a variety of music including lots of oldies. I also like rain tracks or classical to help me sleep, so I always find something. I think they probably dislike me since I only shop the "Super Clearance Section" but 'oh well, I'm having fun'. PS ~ 1 do occasionally browse the other sections. I was excited to find the Jason's Lyric soundtrack!!! It was only $8 bucks and l'd literally been looking for it for years; as it's not on Amazon.

Julie was so helpful and knowledgeable, she would show me how to do certain types of wraps and give great advice. Since going through a spiritual awakening I definitely visit the metaphysical side of the store every time! That being said The shop has everything and they add daily to their inventory. The owners and staff are extremely kind and welcoming, the energy is beautiful there. My brain even gets to buzz while shop being around the crystals. The staff is helpful with assisting and answering any questions you may have. I feel like every visit there is something new to discover and everything is fairly priced. As you become a "frequent flyer" there you definitely build relationships which leads to communities which I personally Value. Also Boyd gives some of the best Tarot readings ever everything he says is extremely validating. Highly recommend!

They have a large…read moreselection of card games, dice, card binders, mini figures, card sleeves, game mats, deck holders, and so much more. They also have a drink fridge, a small snack selection, an event area for their card game nights, and a restroom in the back. I usually am drawn to their dice selection even though I haven't played dice games in years, while my husband tends to enjoy their Pokemon and Magic cards. I noticed during our last trip they had a lot more mini dice than I remember and depending on the brand they were only $5-$6.99, which was tempting me to buy a lot of them. They also have a rewards program, so if you come regularly that is definitely a plus. We will certainly continue to come by Fantasy Games for as long as we continue to travel through South Bend.

I remembered the first time I visited this place I and saw their cute merchandise and trinkets I knew I had to come back. The merchandise they carry is similar to Hobby Lobby, or T.J. Maxx's merchandise for home decor, gifts and trinkets except more unique and a tad bit more expensive. But I love anything unique that's not mass produced with that unique personal touch. But a lot of their merchandise are marked higher than most places. They have a nice variety of selections from jewelry, to baby gifts, home decor, snacks, cute pens and pencils for the office, etc... But if your gift shopping for someone and want a special non generic gift or looking for something unique for yourself and for your home this is the place to go. Their merchandise also comes in different styles from contemporary to traditional pieces which appeals to different tastes. Awesome!!! And their shop is coordinated by color. Sometimes they have discount specials... where if your first or last name starts with a certain letter in the alphabet you save 20%, and they also have a rewards card. Once that's filled up you can save money, but otherwise when shopping there just expect to shell out some extra cash. This is one cutest gift shops I've been to. I go here even if I'm not visiting someone in the hospital. But because this place is located in a hospital parking can be hard to find. But I recommend checking this place out.
