Met Kevin, the Owner, who's been in business since the heyday of collecting in the 80's. He was extremely helpful, friendly, and didn't mind taking time to answer questions, which I had plenty of since the collecting industry had changed so much since I stopped. Over the next 3 years I bought numerous hobby products from Kevin. When COVID hit in 2020, the industry went crazy and caused prices to skyrocket. Kevin remained true and offered prices well below what he could of asked for at the time. I asked him about it and he told me he'd seen numerous highs and lows in the industry, and he wanted to take care of his loyal customers who would always come back. I have a great deal of respect for Kevin, and while I have stopped collecting new cards (I just purchase vintage), I still stop by from time-to-time to say hello. He no longer sells sports cards because the distributors got too greedy, and he didn't want to pass those excessive costs to his customers. He still sells comics though, and he is extremely knowledgeable and helpful with anyone who stops by. It's a small shop and if he doesn't have something you're looking for, he has years of connections and will either find a way to get it or point you in the right direction. If you're in the area, stop on by and take a look. You'll feel welcomed and want to come back. Not enough places like this anymore.

This shop is family owned and it definitely shows. Its very clear that everyone who works here is a lover of comics as well and they are very friendly and knowledgeable. They take an interest in their customers and recognize regulars and address them by name when they come in. All new releases are clearly displayed on a big wall, and the tend to not mark up their back issues that are only a few months old. This place also has an amazing selection of t shirts, statues, board games and all the usual stuff. Its decently sized without being way too huge and has a great sense of charm and wonder. Lacks the sertle corporate feeling of certain large comic shops.

It pains me to have to write this review. I've been a comic book collector in the Bay Area since…read morethe 1970s with over 45 years of experience with local shops. I used to consider Batcave one of the 'better' comic book stores. I first started going to the store in 2019 when my wife and I would make the store one of our main destinations to buy back issues when we were passing through the area. This store used to be something my wife and I looked forward to visiting. Unfortunately, that has changed. About a month ago, we made a special trip to Santa Rosa to pick out some back issues. We had not visited in a while and we looked forward to it. While browsing the back issues, I found that I needed to use the restroom. I saw a fellow customer go into a door that appeared to be a bathroom. There was no sign on the door indicating that this restroom was not for public use, etc. When the customer walked out, I went in after them. It was extremely gross inside with a mop partially blocking access to the toilet and I felt uncomfortable touching anything. The next thing I know, the owner was yelling at me aggressively through the door and pounding in a violent manner. He shouted, "The restroom isn't for public use!!!" I walked back out past the owner, apologizing profusely while he glared at me. I explained that I saw another customer go in to use the restroom so I assumed it was for public use. I told him I was extremely sorry, that it was an honest mistake and that it wouldn't happen again. The owner didn't respond, just scowled at me. I heard his wife loudly yelling, "(insert expletive insult here)!!!" I proceeded to put the back issues I had picked out back in their boxes. I no longer felt comfortable spending my money there after being shouted at and insulted. It was a mistake anyone could have made considering the door didn't have signage saying not to use it. But the owner's reaction was over the top and extremely aggressive over something so small. I went to find my wife, explaining what had happened when I showed up without back issues. She was extremely upset and unbeknownst to me posted a review saying that the owner's behavior was unprofessional. She was not ok with the way I was treated after so many years of going there. The owner could have responded to her review in an professional adult manner but instead he chose to throw a tantrum in his response, claiming that I had left urine on his floor causing a biohazard. I thought that was the end of it. However, it wasn't. A few weeks later, I was attending the old school Berkeley Comic Show. I walked up to one of the booths and started looking through a long box. Suddenly, a hand came over the box, blocking my view. A voice yelled at me, "you are NOT welcome here! You need to keep walking! You are banned for LIFE!" I walked away calmly, caught off guard by his unhinged anger towards me. He was shouting at the top of his lungs, trying to get the attention of the other vendors at the convention and his customers - anyone who would listen. He was trying to embarrass me and get the other vendors to turn me away as well. Thankfully, the other vendors paid him no notice. He was shouting about what a piece of garbage I was for using his bathroom, how pissed he was because my wife had written a negative review, he kept going on and on. I have honestly never encountered anything like this behavior in my forty five years of comic collecting. The level of anger coming from him was out of proportion for what was a simple misunderstanding. All I can only think that the owner must be an extremely unhappy and bitter person to hold such a grudge over something so small, that he would try and ruin my convention experience by embarrassing me to other vendors. Needless to say, I will never be shopping at Batcave again. I would encourage others to do the same. I wasn't even going to post this review until I was harassed in a public space by the owner. I only hope that the owner gets the help that needs, whether that's attending anger management courses or possibly going into a different field of business.

The art design in the store is beautiful with a life sized sculpture of Poison Ivy, posed in a jungle of greenery greeting you when you walk in the front door.
