    The front of the store!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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 :)

    This location is pretty big. I think in comparison to the one I've been to in Monterey Park, I…read morethink this is the better location. However there are other locations around LA/OC area. Out of the 2 locations I've been to, this has a better parking lot as well. Since the store is a lot bigger, that means a lot more selection of figures, books, manga, videos and more. In general, I do enjoy this store as it has great value. I found quite a few things that were quite cheaper here than if you go to a large retail store. If you have anything that you may want to get rid of (but works very well or in good shape) you can see if they're willing to it and give you an estimate. The staff are helpful to help you (the best of their ability) to find what you are looking for or need.

    Came in randomly on a Sunday afternoon when we saw the store on the road. We were excited to see…read morewhat kind of book store it was. Lots of books, old school games, dvds, action figures or collectibles, videos and more. You could spend a lot of time in here if you are only perusing. Everything was tidy and well-organized. I think some of the of books were out of place from topics but for the most part, it was kept clean. Lot of the products and books were in pretty good condition. Some products were a little pricey for secondhand use..but nonetheless pretty cool spot. Service was alright--didn't really talk to the staff all that much and they seemed pretty busy organizing the books and shelving. The cashier that helped me didn't really give me any vibe other than he was just there to do his job which isn't a bad thing but I've definitely experienced more hospitable customer service at other book stores.

    Alakazam Comics is tucked into an unassuming strip-mall/office-center location just north of the…read more405 and across from John Wayne Airport. From the outside, you might wonder if you're in the right place. Open the door, though, and--alakazam!--you're immediately surrounded by comics, manga and anime books, collectible trading cards, records, gaming accessories, and enough geeky goodness to make your wallet nervous. The prices are reasonable and Marco offers discounts if you ask. The shop isn't particularly wide, but it goes back... and back... and back. It's packed to the gills with merchandise, yet they've still managed to fit in plenty of tables for people to sit down and actually play games. Longtime owner Marco is gregarious, knowledgeable, and clearly enjoys what he does. Bonus points: he plays Magic: The Gathering himself, so if you want to talk MTG, you're not just getting a sales pitch--you're talking to a fellow player. The rest of the staff is friendly and helpful too. If you're hunting for something specific or have a question, just ask. They've also thought about the necessities of an extended gaming session: chips, candy, and chilled drinks are available to keep hunger at bay while you battle your way to victory--or, in my case, potentially make a series of questionable strategic decisions. There's even a restroom in the store, which becomes increasingly important the longer those gaming sessions go. Between the comics, cards, books, records, accessories, gaming space, helpful staff, and welcoming atmosphere, Alakazam feels like much more than a place to buy stuff. It feels like a neighborhood gaming hangout. This has officially become my new favorite gaming store. Alakazam indeed!

    I had bought some items off of Alakazam's eBay store and had a great experience (I love that they…read moreoffer in store pickup to avoid shipping fees & that my wife could go pick up for me) so when it was Free Comic Book Day and I found myself in the area, I thought I would check them out. I'm so glad I did. This location is very unassuming. You might pass it without even realizing it as it's in a very nondescript office space area near the airport. But once you walk in, you can easily be overwhelmed with the sheet volume of inventory they have. It was great to see! I will say they tend to favor older issues and most of them are only semi organized in long boxes so you might have to do some flipping through to find things, but I guarantee you will be rewarded. I was able to come across several back issues that I had been looking for and some I didn't know I had been looking for. And when I asked them if they had any other variants from the series I had bought from them off eBay, they happily pulled out a long box from the back full of them that they flipped through and let me hand pick what I needed. That was some fantastic customer service. Even on a busy day like FCBD. Speaking of customer service, the two workers who were there were so incredibly friendly and helpful. From talking to my 3 young sons who were with me to chatting about what I was looking for and how I could find it. I was really impressed. I have a feeling that if it wasn't so busy, they would've walked over and searched with me just because they care that much. Honestly, if I didn't live in Los Angeles, this would become my local shop hands down. But, I can guarantee when I'm in Orange County and am looking for anything, I will absolutely be coming by to check out what they have. And, I will definitely be stopping at their eBay shop first if I'm looking for anything online. Do yourself a favor. Check out Alakazam. If you're a comic book fan, it will be worth your time. And if you're just thinking about getting in to comics, this would be a great place to start your journey.
