I recently visited and got a booster box for Pokémon and I got amazing cards!! I always love this place the owner is super funny and sweet.

Probably My favorite

Super helpful staff, lots of product, and a solid amount of statues. Fun spot to check out and an improvement from a few years back.

At first it was Yelp check-ins that coerced me do it. I was attempting to claim a Geek badge for my own, and read that visiting comic book shops was the way to do it. Interestingly, similar as to what occurs after purchasing a new ride (suddenly you start seeing the same make and model everywhere)...I became hyper sensitive to anything and everything comic book and animae. People around me were talking about going to ANIMATE. I turn on the television and it is Pokemon... The sign on the marquee on the way to work began shouting in huge red letters "COMICS TOYS and ANIMAE" ...who was I to ignore the signs? I am by no means an avid reader of comics and I have never attended Comic Con, Animate, or SuperCon. I do have cousins that read Manga and my little one loves the Animae cartoons, so I figured along my adventure for the Geek badge I would purchase some merch for them. At first I was nervous to go in and became overwhelmed with the amount of merchandise they have. I did not encounter any rude regulars. All the customers that were chatting to the cashier smiled and said hello. I just stared like a deer in headlights and when I was given direction on how to find what I was looking for, well I forgot my left from my right. Every single paperback item is sealed in a plastic bag and taped. The store is immaculate and very well organized. There are tons of different comics and animae. There is also a large selection of Japanese toys. I didn't see the area they have for gaming, as I was not very adventurous. I was delighted at the selection they had for kids. I didn't pay 35% more than I could have online (I checked). Additionally, there would have been no one online to help me figure out what I was looking for. Sure I could type it in on the web, but why do that when I can just go around the corner and ask another actual person? I'm very pleased with my purchase, I will be going again.

See all

They had such a great selection at great prices! The Pokémon decks we bought were much cheaper here than on Amazon or online

I thought it was the owner but the person I'm referring to is actually the store manager named Eddie.

They have a huge amount of space inside their store & they utilize every inch. I like how their sections are relatively organized by category, although it can get a bit overwhelming with just how much they have. Everywhere you look there's display cases loaded with figures & bookshelves filled out. They have the best selection of comic books in south Florida, by far. When it comes to quantity & variety they have a great offering. Horror, superheroes, sci-fi, anime; they have some of everything. They keep a nice stock in their weekly release section & carry a lot of sought-after series. While they don't carry every cover variant, they do a good job at having at least a couple for most issues. The workers are usually pretty friendly. They offer help looking for items in their massive store & will point you in the right direction if you have any questions. I've never once had a bad experience in all the years I've been visiting. As good as they are, I have 2 complaints. First off, they're sometimes a bit overpriced. Whether it be an action figure or certain comic, there's been times where I've found them pricing things $2-$15 over market value. While get it's a business, I hate finding something here only to realize I can get it online cheaper. I'm ALWAYS for supporting local businesses but unfortunately it dissuades that. Lastly, sometimes I'll look for a series to start & they'll only have issues #2 & on. While it's not that big of a problem, I always grab issue #1 before any others so this'll cause me to skip out. Usually, however, this doesn't happen often. Overall, Tate's is the place for all your comic & collectible needs. There's not much more to ask for considering their good service, up-to-date selections & large variety. Also, be sure to check out their art gallery upstairs. They carry tons of stickers, prints, originals & crafts from local artists!

From a tiny shop to an Eisner Award-winning giant, Tate's Comics is Florida's comic book cathedral…read more Walking into Tate's Comics for the first time is one of those life-altering, jaw-to-the-floor moments -- and for me, that was over 20 years ago. I still remember "Old Man Tate" greeting people with that mix of humor, knowledge, and genuine warmth that made you feel like you weren't just walking into a comic shop, you were walking into a community. He was a real gem of a man, an educator in his own right, and the heartbeat of the place. I still miss him. But here's the beauty: his son has carried the mantle and turned Tate's into nothing less than a comic book Mecca. What started as a small neighborhood shop has exploded into what is hands-down the best comic book store in the state of Florida -- and yes, I'd put it up against most in the country too. Don't just take my word for it: Tate's won the Will Eisner Spirit of Comics Retailer Award, basically the Oscar for comic shops. That's how legendary this place is. The store itself is massive, sprawling, and beautifully curated. Comics, graphic novels, manga, collectibles, action figures, statues, vinyl toys, rare finds -- it's like a nerd's cathedral, filled with treasures in every aisle. You could spend hours here and still miss something. The staff? Friendly, helpful, and never gatekeep-y. Whether you're a hardcore collector, a casual reader, or just holiday shopping for that "special geek in your life," they make you feel welcome. When it comes to value, Tate's is unbeatable. Sure, you can buy comics or toys online, but here you get fair prices, expert advice, and the thrill of discovering something new on the shelves. From single-issue comics to high-end collectibles, they strike that perfect balance of competitive pricing and curated quality. The fact that you can walk in with twenty bucks and leave happy -- or drop a couple hundred on a rare statue -- shows the range they cover. It's proof that value isn't just about price; it's about the experience of shopping in a place where every dollar feels well spent. It's also a great spot for holiday shopping. Where else can you grab a signed graphic novel, a rare toy, and a quirky enamel pin all in one place? It's basically Santa's workshop if Santa was obsessed with Batman, Funko Pops, and Gundam models. If I had one wish, it'd be for them to host more events -- comic signings, meetups, gaming nights. That sense of community was always the soul of Tate's, and while the shop is still thriving, those moments made it magical. Tate's Comics is more than a store. It's history, it's family, it's a legacy. Old Man Tate laid the foundation, his son built the empire, and the rest of us are lucky enough to shop there. Come for the comics, stay for the legacy, and leave knowing you just visited a place where heroes don't just live on the page -- they built the shop.

On the…read moreoutside, there are a few bookshelves with a variety of cheap books that you can actually buy after hours and put the money in the mail slot to pay for them. Inside, it feels like you're transported somewhere magical. Books literally line everywhere you go and I loved being able to crane my neck all the way back and see books going upwards towards the roof. It is easy to figure out the sections, they have history, art, literature and a variety of other genres to look around at. I found a old edition of The Silence of The Lambs and had to buy it. The book was in very nice condition and very reasonably priced for what it was! I will say, if it's busy like it was when I was there, you will have to scooch past people multiple times because the two rows of books are basically only large enough for one person standing sideways. A gorgeous and reasonably priced bookstore that you need to see in person to truly appreciate it like I did!

So a friend of mine mentioned this bookstore as a must go visit and it was so badass! Tucked away…read morein a small strip mall in the corner is this small place full of books and books wall to wall. What an eclectic place of comfort and reflection as soothing music is played. Here you'll find William store owner and his cat (Tim?) Both low key and pleasant. It took awhile I did find a book which all books have the price on the first white page. Oh also he has other items for sale such as foreign currency and old post cards. What a nice spot. And a little bonus it's just across the street per se to other places like My Big Fat Greek weeding or The Field Irish pub! Well worth the drive to this bookstore. Lastly one of his clients took a photo of him with his cat and it's a great print job of it
