I moved from Sacramento to Santa Clara recently for work. This store has the largest space I've…read moreseen for players in Santa Clara (from what I've seen) whether it's tabletop or to play a card game. I came in an hour before closing. As soon as I walked in, I was immediately greeted. They asked if I was looking for anything and was shown to the card sleeve section. I've been to multiple stores that specialize in cards. Why was this the ONLY place where I found a large assortment of card sleeves for players!! Lol I met Anna(?) or Ann, and customer service was amazing, gave all information I was asking for, and showed me the weekly schedule. I am more of a mega competitive player (but not a sore winner ;-)), so I wanted to know what their schedule looked like, what is their most supported game, etc. I believe this is a more chill, casual, friendlies kind of vibe (not a bad thing at all), and I'd be open to doing more drafts or pre-release kits or something. Hoping to bring in my coworkers and friends! I can tell that they care very much about making sure they can support their community and create an inclusive and healthy space. Masks are not a big deal for me, they're effective especially nowadays with allergies, new viruses, whatever lol Lots of different card games in stock and tabletop games for rent, a cute dog and a big space for players.. but what really made things great was speaking with Al about Witch Hat Atelier. I've been to a lot of comic book stores, and I'll see the "Favorite Picks", but that's about it. Al and I talked about it, we went through the art, explained the intro, and it really brought me in. Al's passion for stories really made me want to look at this series. I didn't buy it, but I can honestly say that I'd love to come back to the store to find out what the next big thing is Al will share with me. I can sense that these folks are passionate, accommodating, and personable. Hoping for further successes!

This place transports you to all the various fandoms. It's easy for my kids to get lost in the many aisles of comic books and graphic novels.

Love this shop and how they make it so easy to support small business!

It was like visiting a museum dedicated to the comics of my childhood. Well, to be honest, some of the comics on display came out before I was born, which feels like a million years ago. Prices were clearly marked on the classic collection on the walls. It was fun looking at the old comic cover art and compare it to the contemporary artsy covers. A fun visit. I will definitely be coming back.

So rarely do you find a comic book store that actually specializes in comics! They have some…read moreassorted other items but there is no doubt what you're getting here. And they take good care of what they have. SELECTION: I was impressed that they had CGC slabs in a whole section. Autographed comics had a section. Variant cover by artist in another section. And TONS of great back issues. I would've arranged the new books so it's easier to see but I imagine the majority of their customers are pull service. Still I love the selection of back issues. SERVICE: Friendly, nice and helpful. Definitely good quality service. And they care about your books. Well kept. COST: You could find it cheaper on eBay but then you run the risk of damage and lower quality books since grading is so subjective. Here you MIGHT pay a little more but they are price competitive and you can pick it out without paying shipping. I would come here instead.

Based on my experience, I would not recommend doing business with this seller.

Despite the fact I hate waiting for TCGplayer and haven't had a great experience with them overall, I'd much rather go through them than support a business that seems to scalp and price gouge.

I stopped by on a Tuesday evening, and it wasn't overly busy. I meandered through the aisles and was blown away by the genres/styles/options.

What's more, since they sell used books, there are so many options at an extremely affordable price. I was able to pick up a Spanish vocabulary book for less than $5! The service was unremarkable, which is exactly what I want from a bookstore. I was able to slowly check out all the books without any rush/pressure. There was so much cute merch in the store as well, ranging from tote bags to stickers. If you're looking for a book to read or even some fun souvenirs, check this spot out!

I recently went with three large boxes of books, and got $4 cash back for everything. There was probably 50 - 70 books total. I remember going here as a kid, the charm, the cat, and now they don't even have a cat, and their service has gotten awful. Same goes for their Almaden location, too. TLDR: Not worth your time at all. Selection has gotten worse over time, too.
