Reviews of being disorganized were unfounded. There was wall to wall stuff but a definite method to…read morethe madness and most were reasonably priced. A nice selection of all kinds of nerdom. Complaints of bad service... I'd have to agree. We were met with a gruff "lemmeknowifyouneedanything" as the man then shut himself in the back room quite literally until we left and then he emerged when we opened the door. It was fine for us bc we were perusing but it certainly did not amplify our experience.

Coffee = good Service = excellent…read more Variety of games = excellent Atmosphere = excellent Fun bonuses in accessories (did we get a dragon scull dice roller for a reasonable price? Absolutely we did). Tumblers, dice, dice accessories, shirts, games, RPG accessories. We loved it all. My husband and I came in to check it out around 4:30pm. 1.5hrs flew by as we shopped, sipped lattes, and played games. The place really got busy around 5:30pm with a bunch of gamers playing table top RPGs and Pokémon. There was a huge selection of board games that were donated from other players and were available to play on site. Definitely will come back next time we come to Lexington.

What an amazing coffee shop! I stopped here for coffee before a doctors appointment and was greeted…read moreby the nicest barista. I opted to try a flight of their fall flavors which was excellent. I also was craving a BLT that has a delectable house made aioli in it. There is so much seating both chairs and couches with lots of tables. Not to mention the board games, card games, comic books, action figures and books as well. One could spend an entire day here and not get bored. The coffee was pretty good, and that BLT was phenomenal. Healthcare workers and students get a nice discount too!

Absolutely fantastic eclectic gift shop. Should be able to find something for anybody (including…read moreyourself) in here in the vast mix of items they have. Everything was well organized, reasonably priced, and just so much fun. The selection is honeslty a bit difficult to describe but truly contained such a variety of items, from specialty origami papers to fun matchboxes, decor, and various trinkets. One thing that stood out though was their incredible boom selection. The staff were friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend and would likely return, not only for gifts but to get myself a few items.

Sqecial Media is a popular store located right off U.K. campus. They have so many cool things:…read morebooks, jewelry, incense, coffee mugs, cards, tapestries, candles, etc. Due to COVID, they have extensive guidelines. First, you must call to set up an appointment to shop. The store is small so they only allow a certain amount of people inside. They have different hours as well. Upon entering, they require a face mask and hand sanitizer before browsing the store. The location is literally right off campus. Parking can be annoying in this area. There is street parking in front or a small parking lot behind the store. Keep this in mind when visiting. There are a couple of other businesses located in the same building: a Korean restaurant (delicious) and a music store downstairs. If you're looking for a fun and unique store, definitely visit!

We really lucked out as I found multiple records in my wish list, and my punk-rock teen found some rare finds with Green Day and Panic at the Disco (both of those were higher priced than I would have liked). I love the staff here - they are all quirky, friendly, and always willing to help you find something. Great trip this week!

Terrible Place to Sell Books - Avoid!…read more If you're thinking about selling books to Half Price Books, DON'T waste your time! They offer insultingly low payouts, no matter the quality or value of your books. I recently brought in several thick, high-quality books and was given barely anything for them. The pricing process is completely opaque, with no explanation of how they determine value. To make things worse, customer service is awful. The employees seem uninterested and dismissive, acting as if they're doing you a favor by taking your books off your hands. There's no negotiation, no respect for sellers, and no reason to bring your books here unless you want to be ripped off. Save yourself the frustration--sell elsewhere or donate your books to people who will actually appreciate them!

In need of some dice, found D20.. figured we'd give it a whirl... Cute shop... lots of Funko Pops, some Board and Card Games, decent dice selection... Magic Cards at the register...

We got a great deal on our cards, but... wtf? Things like that will make the Mr. swear off a place for good so, guess we're still on the hunt for a game shop... (le sigh)
