I went down there on a Sunday afternoon a few weeks ago, and right in front was a homeless man and a pile of what was very likely human shit smeared on the sidewalk lol. Now, I know this isn't necessarily a fault of the comic shop itself, and I do sympathize for the city's unhoused population, but having that being my first impression of their new location was kind of jarring. Never encountered this issue at the old location. I do plan to visit again though, and maybe next time can have a more pleasant experience and give the full five stars.

Superman. Marvel. Bruce Lee. Figurines, bobbleheads, comics, and my favorite, the owner's artwork, signed, starting at only 15 bucks. I spoke to the owner about art, artists, vintage comics and starting his shop during the pandemic. Super nice, friendly, talented, it's exciting to find a new place like this, filled with great deals, icons and heroes. I walked out with a prize picture for my wall, and a skip in my step. It's nice to see artists thriving on the west side of Los Angeles in times like these! You know you need a giant superhero for your desktop. An original Bruce Lee on your wall. An old comic in mint condition to complete your collection. And to applaud small businesses like this one. This place has it all. Many thanks for my amazing picture!! You are so cool and talented. Welcome to the neighborhood!

As a cozy neighborhood bookstore, what sets it apart is definitely the people (amazing, welcoming, and knowledgeable staff) and the overall vibe. The layout is awesome. Easy to find what you are looking for and a fabulous selection. The children section is impressive in particular and they do at least weekly children book readings. They have both new and lightly used books (indicated by star sticker on spine); definitely try the lightly used as they can be a great value. Lastly, you must find the resident feline (cat) that is always at the store (particularly fun when you're there with kids). Very privileged to have this bookstore in our community.

My fiancee and I love this little gallery. It's a sawtelle staple and it's always really fun to…read morepop inside and see their current show on display. They have a nice selection of prints, original art, toys, and books. It's a super small space, but they've made every corner count. Also, if a book or toy is sold out, I believe they sometimes have waitlists or at least an email list for when something comes back in stock. Being small, they do get kind of crowded on the weekends, and it makes the store kind of hard to maneuver. They were doing this thing for a while where they only allowed a certain number of people to look around at a time, then blocked the door with a table and in order to come in, you had to wait for someone who was already inside to leave. That kind of sucked, because you were basically just waiting for someone to feel like leaving and it usually took forever, leading to a long line outside. But it seems like they ditched that. We went recently and we were able to go in with others and there was no sign or table blocking the door. No lot parking; it's on sawtelle so it's just metered street parking. There are tons of good restaurants and coffee less than 20 feet in any direction, very good location.

Giant Robot Store is considered as the first and longest-standing Asian & Asian American pop…read moreculture shop in Los Angeles (opened in 2001). Giant Robot formerly published a bimonthly magazine from 1994 to 2011. There is also an extension store called GR2 Gallery (2062 Sawtelle Blvd) located less than a block away from the main store and GR2 mainly focuses on art exhibits while also selling a limited selection of gift items like Japantown/Sawtelle mugs. [Parking]: Parking is always difficult to find in Sawtelle. Visitors can circle around the neighborhood for street parking (I got lucky and found a spot on Beloit Ave just a block away) or try validated parking at Marshalls or Nijiya Market Sawtelle Store. [What to see here]: The shop offers fun housewares, gifts (e.g. Rolife 3D Puzzles), stationery items (a very small selection), T-shirts, varsity jackets, hats, art books, art prints, plushies (e.g. Miffy and Snoopy), and toy figures (e.g. Smiski blind boxes). What really stood out to me were pins, some of the unique jackets, and the Japantown/Sawtelle mugs. Please note that the store limits entry to 8 guests at a time. [Conclusion]: While I can't say the store sells gifts that fit everyone's taste, the shop has cultural significance and deep roots in Asian American pop culture. It is worth a stop for anyone visiting Sawtelle. P.S. - This is also where Uglydolls originally started.
