Coffee and a Comic - Issues 1-5 Zatanna Absolute batman and other batman comics - Comic Books Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

I don't really get the hype here. This shop has a lot of modern comics, and it's somewhat organized, but it's so incredibly cramped and tight inside that it's hard to really shop it too deeply. If there had been one other person in the shop, I wouldn't have been able to turn around. It feels overly cluttered, or even claustrophobic. The employee working was really friendly, and knew the inventory fairly well, though they didn't end up having anything i needed. This shop, like most of the shops in this and adjacent areas, is hyper focused on modern comics. I understand why, and it makes sense to a point, but it isn't somewhere i could see spending any time really picking through back issues for good stuff. If I lived nearby, i might get my weekly pull here, but i wouldn't reserve much time for hanging out. I was traveling through the area on a tour of shops looking specifically for older back issues, i'm afraid this shop doesn't hit that kind of niche. I'm also confused about the name, because there was no indication anywhere that coffee was involved at all. I expected something like a Cafe with an attached book store, but as it turns out the coffee referenced in the name of the shop refers to coffee grounds that they give away with purchases? It's just a little misleading, and a big reason I won't score this shop higher. Overall, this shop is probably good for a pull list, but not good for collectors who are deeper in the trenches than modern slabs and resale value collecting. The employee was nice, and helpful, but the location itself is not great, and the name doesn't really imply what the concept is very well. read more

Great customer service. I've never left disappointed and there's always a great selection.

This is a great spot for both comic fans! The shop is small however it has a solid selection of comics. You'll find your latest issue of BRZRK, Absolutes, and KOs here. The atmosphere is relaxing and welcoming. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I always walk out of here with more than one raw comic. : ) read more

I've been searching for a great shop since moving to OC and wow could have not asked for a better place. Got a tour right away, so no guessing where I need to be looking for issues (the size of the collection in the space is impressive). I already can't wait to go back!! Thanx again dudes! Also amazing selection in every price range!!! If you're new to collecting, seasoned vet, or just a casual collector I assure you this place has it all with the least amount of gate keeping I've seen in a while! read more

AMAZING SPOT!!! Super sweet owner who just loves comics and sharing the love with others, I came around opening time and he gave me a whole tour of the shop, showing me where everything is and all the cool stuff they have!! IF YOURE LOOKING FOR NEW COMICS THIS IS THE SPOT!!! The whole first room as you walk in is filled with new comics and merch and I found some of the newest Absolute issues i couldnt find anywhere else!!! Definitely coming back!!! It's a little hard to find but worth it pls look for it!!! Not overpriced either, PLUS he gave me a free candy, comic, AND a free sample of some coffee grounds!! Sorry I didnt notice earlier I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK! read more

Coffee and a Comic - The front of the store! - Comic Books Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

While it's very very well hidden (and fairly small), Coffee and a Comic gives you a great, traditional comic book store vibe: with a front area that highlights hot reads and the owner's recommendations, and a back area where you can rummage through discount issues or stare at the store's more well kept more expensive issues, you can also get into a pretty good conversation with the store's owner about the current state of the comic book industry. And yes, true to the shop's namesake, you do get a packet of ground coffee with your comic book - quite super in its own way and something that makes your purchase feel extra special. Just don't spill the coffee on your comic book! Overall, Coffee and a Comic is a true gem of Huntington Beach. read more

A small but mighty comic store ran by someone with a big heart. My wife's mother was also big into comics and passed away recently. So to find this local shop really made me smile. The mission statement of the store is a must read on their website. Found all the major comics here and will be doing my pulls at this location. Support your mom and pop comic shop! read more

Everyone was super friendly and helpful!! I shared how I am new to collecting and they recommended me new stories to look into and what is trending. They have an amazing selection with DC and marvel, as well as indie comics. They made the whole process super comfortable and welcoming!! read more

One of the best comic book stores around and the employees all give really great recommendations if you're starting out or just looking for new hidden gems to check out. Definitely would check out if in the area! read more

I called in to ask if they send comics to get graded, unfortunately they did not but the staff was extremely nice and helpful and was able to guide me on how I can do it on my own. Thank you for being so kind and professional. read more

My son and I checked out this comic book store today for the first time and as soon as we got it, we were greeted by Nick. He was very insightful and was great at helping us find what we were looking for. He took into consideration my son's age and even asked what I was comfortable with him seeing. I feel like he went above and beyond! Definitely going to come back here! Great spot and amazing comics! read more

absolutely in love with the crew. the owner jeff along with one of his many lovely employees Ian,, chris and i have ironically havent met the last employee coffin but i hear great things about him as well. this crew is so welcoming and helpful. whether youre a new customer or a returning one they are always open to conversation and really passionate about their work and love for this medium. jeff is also REALLY REALLY patient and understanding when it comes to questions and i cannot thank him enough for that. they have a variety of comics and are willing to order whatever you are looking for if its in their ability to do so. ongoing/new releases are cover price but they always have great deals and great bins for cheaper books or books sold in a set. read more

First time going into a comic book shop, I was extremely nervous. However, the amazing worker (sorry I didn't get the name) was there and loved Spiderman like me! He showed the variety and it was great. It really felt like a homey, heartfelt comic book shop with options for everyone. The prices were retail on the cover and I had a great time shopping. Will be back soon, each purchase comes with coffee beans! read more

Amazing customer service and prices. Definitely will go again and highly recommended. Kind of hard to find, can't see it from the street.

Met the owner, super friendly! Store of Beach Blvd not hard to find. The selection is nice. The prices are fair too.

Becoming a customer of Coffee and a Comic has been one of my best decisions this year! I've always been into nerd culture but never comics because it felt like an intimidating possibly gatekeepy area. But when I checked out this store on Free Comic Book day, it felt so welcoming! Everyone was lovely, even other patrons. I left really excited to read my free comics. And later when I called, the owner helped me learn how to preorder upcoming comics online and subscribe to a series so I won't miss out. I don't feel judged at all for coming in to pick up my silly little Monster High comics :) read more

Coffee and a Comic - Free comic book day bag and monster high free comic - Comic Books Near Me - Huntington Beach, California

If I could give this store a billion stars I would. They are just so kind and cool, and truly so passionate about their job and the art they are so selling :). If you are looking for a local comic shop, this is the one. They have an amazing selection for such a small store, and tbh that makes it easier to find everything ! The workers are so so so nice and just so excited to talk about and get you your comic. And the free coffee with every comic is just a such a cool nice touch! We don't get a lot of nice and genuinely cool places in HB. So I hope this one stays here forever. Also all their comics are so nicely priced !! And ordering online/ leaving a hold is simple and easy. They also have all the new releases of the most popular series right now. I feel like a lot of people are getting into comics for the first time, and I would recommend this place over anywhere else for that too. The workers were just so kind to me and explained a lot to me and helped so much. So don't be scared to ask questions ! Im just so happy I've found this place I wanna shout it from the roof tops. read more

Really cool shop. Came here a few weekends ago looking for a semi obscure back issue from 2017. They didn't have it, but the owner Frank took initiative and offered to order it for me. I didn't even think you could order something from that far back. I came back yesterday to pick it up and and grabbed another issue as well, I'm always supportive of shops with excellent customer service since they are so few and far between. The owner Frank and one of the employees I spoke to on the phone are just cool people. I ended up hanging out a bit and talking about Star Wars and whatever comics we had both been reading lately and he explained their mystery boxes which are all #1 issues with some extra stuff thrown in. I go to a higher volume shop in OC that doesn't fully embrace technology but if I ever move closer, I would switch over to this place in a heartbeat since they sync all their pulls online. read more

I recently purchased two comic books for my granddaughter's birthday. I was so impressed with the service I received from the owner! He spent a lot of time helping me find the perfect ones! And I left with some coffee and a candy treat! read more

This is one of the coolest places. There were comics everywhere and the owner Frank really knows his stuff. He makes sure you leave with something cool and also gives you a free bag of coffee with your purchase! If you're in the HB area definitely check-in and give Frank a visit! read more

Outstanding comic shop! Jeff is super knowledgeable, friendly and honest. He really helped us and we had a great time. There's so much selection, excellent prices and it's neatly organized. read more

I just found this store and stopped in last night for the first time. I am new to comics and have been visiting stores all around OC to get my collection going. This was by far my favorite spot. Everything is organized exactly how I wish every store was set up. The owner showed me around and shared a lot of knowledge. He was very friendly and took a lot of time to help me even though he was also helping several others. Definitely give this store a shot! read more

Walked in last Saturday and was greeted by a wonderfully friendly staff. Upon first entering the shop is rather small but space is utilized rather well. After talking comics and life, the other thing we had in common is we were all former military. I walked away with purchases not only for myself but with the kids at home in mind. They allowed me freedom to browse as well as did some searching for me based on my likes and conversation. Jeff and his staff are a wonderful add to this industry and I look forward to not only drinking the coffee that came with my purchase but getting another pouch when I return. Thanks Jeff and team, Dave (The guy with the Superman tattoo collage) read more

Amazing shop and wonderful staff! First time in and they were helpful, courteous and definitely let me nerd out. Tons of comics, and lots of issues that took me back in time. I'll definitely be recommending this shop to friends and family! read more

Came here for the first time today and Frank was just about the nicest guy you could ask for; gave me a lil tour of the shop and some really good beginner comic recommendations. He has a great selection of both trades/graphic novels and single issues, which combined with the store website makes for a great customer experience. The coffee he included with my purchase was great too, will definitely be back here very soon! 10/10 read more

Super welcoming place! Jeff had exactly what we wanted to buy and was so nice to talk to. Will definitely come back to buy more comics!

Very friendly to the point where you have a sense of being apart of their community. Also they have an awesome message they are trying to send be sure to check them out. read more

Best comic shop I have been to anywhere in the area if you are shopping for modern books. It is a small shop run by very friendly staff with a lifetimes knowledge of comics. They specialize in modern books but do have a great selection of back stock books, trade paperbacks and graded comics. Great shop to have a pull list with as their customer service is top tier. It's tucked into a small shopping area on Beach Blvd and can be a little hard to find from the street but it is worth a visit. read more

Best shop in OC! Super cool intimate spot with all the indies, marvel, and dc you need. Frank is super cool and knowledgeable and will go out of his way to hook you up with what you're looking for. Support small businesses! read more

Great shop! Good selection, good prices, and a very nice, chill vibe. They have a good variety of DC, Marvel, and indie comics, and they keep up on new releases. They were super helpful about finding specific issues I was looking for. My friend is a newer fan who wasn't sure where to start, so we really appreciated their recommendations too! read more

A simultaneously exciting and relaxing place. With a down to earth owner and helpful/friendly staff, there's no other place I'd rather get my comics from. read more
