First time visiting and we were blown away!…read more There's lots of spaces to sit and play games. We arrived early on a Saturday, and since just a party of two, no reservation. Larger parties arriving a little bit later that morning had made reservations, and that would definitely be advised as the place quickly became absolutely packed. Despite how busy everything was, it was a great environment and wasn't too noisy. Service was excellent and everyone was so helpful with any questions we had. We love that they have a library of games to rent so you can try out new options. It's $5 per game or a day pass for $10 and unlimited rentals. We also came hungry, so enjoyed a couple of their menu items. Everything was absolutely delicious, which we honestly weren't expecting. They have a massive beverage menu that spans coffee to cocktails and everything in between. And of course, we enjoyed seeing the Tardis proudly positioned out front!

experience was disappointing. Many of the Pokémon products sold here are standard retail items --…read morethe same ones found at stores like Target or Walmart -- but the markups are extremely high. I understand resale and small business pricing, but these prices felt unreasonable and not collector-friendly. I walked in expecting a place that supports the community: fair pricing, unique items, or at least a welcoming vibe. Instead, it felt like the focus was mainly on squeezing profit out of every product, rather than creating a good experience for customers or collectors. If you're looking to spend your money wisely, I'd recommend checking other local shops or retail stores first. You'll likely find the same products for a much better price -- and save yourself the frustration

I think it is cool they have meetups at least 4 times a week themed in various ways for like minded gamers to get together and play. Selection is pretty darn amazing. I saw games I had not seen before. The staff was active and helpful where he could be. He helped me find things but did not know much about the games themselves...at least not the ones I asked about. But hey...they have A LOT of games! Like a librarian, it takes a while to gain the knowledge of everything you have on tap. I will definitely be making my purchases here rather than go online and have it delivered. It is nice to have a place like this in town where you can touch the product. I would love for them to stay in business! SHOP LOCAL!

I was on a treasure hunt for silver-age JLA. Found a lot. Tim double-checked the pricing and updated some of them, which was an honest thing to do. It decreased some of the prices, which made me buy more. Later, I decided that a bookend pewter statue needed to be in my home, so I called and bought it. Tim was upfront and said it was damaged and knocked a significant amount off it. McCaela was great in answering my questions about shipping. This is a great place with great customer service and I'll be back for sure.
