    Well apparently D D. needs to go back to school and work on his grammar. He's obviously illiterate…read more I've always had great experiences there. It's rare to find a store like this, and we're lucky enough to have one here. They're all very friendly and helpful. And they give you way better deals on purchases and trade ins than any other game store around. So if anyone happens to read these reviews, please ignore the review written by D D. Your I.Q. will drop a few points. Trust me, it almost turned my brain into shit. Anyways, keep up the good work Pat and Shane ;)

    This review is not a reflection on the store itself or of its amazing day to day employees but…read moreinstead the owner for this poor business practice. I'm writing this review to warn others in regards to a terrible policy. The owner has a bad habit of bait and switch pricing tactics on the pricing of games in his store. This is the third time in which I've brought a game to the counter and it has either scanned for a higher price than marked or he looked up the game and found one insane person asking a ridiculous price for it on eBay and now will not sell it for anything less. He then in turn via online chat with the employee will not honor or sell for the price as marked on the game. It's truly sad as being the only local game store in St. Augustine I shop here quite frequently. I'm surprised he would implement such policies which I'm 100% sure are frowned upon by the BBB & especially to loyal customers. I've shopped here for years and spent a significant amount of money in that time frame and its all really unfortunate. I take pride in helping my local small businesses and the employees have always been amazing but this bait and switch business practice is pretty disheartening. So if you ever see a price on a game in this store just know that may not actually be the price you pay because behind the scenes over an online chat he may increase the price at will or choose not to sell it to you at all. And to think before all this I purchased well over $100 in games that day too. ‍ So if you are ever wondering why there is no customer loyalty program it's most likely because the owner doesn't seem to value long term customers over profit & greed.

    I'm going to give this review as someone who's late uncle spent decades as a Java customer and…read moreintroduced me to it 8 years ago. I had many defining moments within the store so I'm going to be brutally honest. That's what reviews are for. Hopefully Doug can take heed to what I say. The soul of Java is gone. Moving the business was the worst mistake they could have made. It's been turned into an introverts castle. Walking in felt like walking into an empty clubhouse made for the employees that you weren't welcome in. Whispers behind the counter, silence in the air, lack of smiles and warmth. Lack of enthusiasm in their greeting. The first thing that caught me off guard is Doug not recognizing me. We moved two years ago but spoke with him A LOT. If he did, he didn't ask us anything. But I brushed it aside, no huge deal. Since moving, we got into One Piece. We asked if he stocked it. He said no, Bandai wouldn't give him any product. But then he went on a weird rant about how later on they offered it to him, and he refused out of spite because of how he was 'treated'. Number one: that's just not only financially irresponsible but just plainly ignorant and obviously stubborn as a business owner. Number two: You shouldn't tell customers who come in asking for one piece that you were offered it eventually and still refused. None of this even covers the fact that Java used to be a warm inviting environment with games stacked on a giant bookshelf on the right wall, never an empty room, always people enjoying the environment, playing games, studying, buying from café and enjoying the wonderful environment that Java put together with it's different kind of tables and chairs and cozy environment that reminds you of the 90s. This new place basically might as well be Gamer Corps now. Sterile, corporate, and boring. It's definitely NOT Java anymore. I'm not saying I liked the last owner, but whoever decided to either lose Jack, put him out of charge, or not rehire someone like him made a big mistake. I see Java closed within the next three years, most likely.

    Games, games, games. Take board game night out of the living room and into the public. At Java Haus…read moreyou can spend 4 hours at a table top game with friends and not feel like you're taking up a table. Plus they have libations - coffee and beer - along with food so you aren't starving by the time you get to the last round of seafarers or breaking down a door. There are games a plenty to choose from, Magic the Gathering in a side room, other breakout rooms that I thjnk can be rented. War hammer tables and paint and parts to add to the collection. It's nerd's paradise! There were a few kids there, some basic games, and plenty more to learn. Wish I found this sooner! There's late night hours too!
