I Called in to…read morewhat online is listed as "Top Dog Pawn" the storefront says "Title Pawn" as well at (3109 Washington Rd) and asked about selling my gold teeth and when I got there they told me they wouldn't take them because she didn't believe they were actual gold, despite them saying they would test and weight the gold upon arrival. Why would I try to pawn dental gold which is worthless, keep in mind the current bullion cost for 18 grams of gold at 14k is $1,380 I was willing to take $800-900 your loss honestly I will definitely be able to sell them to an actually REPUTABLE business. Poor customer service at its finest, literally asked them to test it for themselves and they refused. UPDATE the next place I went to (Stackers Bullion) gave me $920.85 I guess my jewelry wasn't fake after all. Glad though because they gave me more than these people even quoted me for before turning me around in person.

I was a frequent customer at their old location, but their new location is so much more convenient…read moreand so great. They've been in business for a long time, and many customers have come to support them for decades, and with a high value selection of comics to choose from, and a community of tabletop and card game players, it's no wonder why this place has been in business so long, I told my friends about this place all the time, and there's darn good reason for that.!

The Book Tavern had that wonderful afternoon hum today, the kind that tells you a bookstore isn't…read morejust surviving but actually thriving. It was busy in the best possible way: people drifting between shelves with purpose, a small line forming at the register, and an author set up at a front table signing books while chatting with readers. Moments like that feel like a quiet victory for local culture, a reminder that #LocalBooks still matter and that Augusta shows up for them. I lingered longer than I meant to because the browsing here pulls you in. The front tables were stacked with new releases and staff picks, and the red dot discount display added that little spark of treasure‑hunt energy. The range of subjects is part of what makes the place feel so alive. Politics and gender identity sit alongside fiction and romance, sci fi and fantasy, table games, cookbooks, and a genuinely thoughtful section on Augusta history. It's the kind of curation that reflects a community rather than a trend algorithm. And of course, there's the upstairs. It's one of the shop's best features. Quieter, a little more contemplative, with shelves that reward slow wandering. A busy bookstore on a weekend afternoon is a small civic joy. The Book Tavern manages to feel both rooted and evolving, a place where Augusta's literary life gathers itself and keeps going. [Review 212 of 2026 - 913 in Georgia - 25401 overall]

Cool place, definitely the largest manga selection that I have ever seen in the area! Everything…read morewas really nice and organized and clearly labelled. They have a lot more than books too, saw guitars, toys, puzzles, and there's also a buy back section as well to help incentivize you to come back. Was definitely fun to walk through. Expect to pay regular full price for the books, but they have a lot of unusual items (ex. I saw Britney Spears Monopoly Game). There are random 'mystery boxes' for example you can get 50 cds/dvds if you are a gambler or just curious to see what you end up with. The store itself looks like it just popped up in the middle of a giant empty parking lot, so there's no shortage of parking spots.

This store is very cool! It has so many mystery packs it's insane…read more They have mugs, backpacks, books, games, stuffed animals, candles, Disney themed items, universal themed items, puzzles, journals, history books, kids books, cartoon, anime, tshirts, socks, tote bags and more. They have so many items and many duplicate items so you can always get an item for your friends or family. They also have a return program so you can get credit toward items you give them so you can buy other books or whatever in the store

In a not so distant life I spent a ton of money on comic books, own a lot, and stopped reading them…read moreabout 5 years ago. When we made our trip to Columbia, one of the places I didn't know we were going to stop in was Cosmic rays! Cosmic rays specializes in a lot of things, including video games, toys but most importantly, comics! They have a nice selection of comics and being surrounded by them brought back nostalgia. My gf wanted to buy some comics for a friend since we were in the area, and rather than tell her what I thought, we picked the brain of staff, who were super cool about listening to what she was looking for, and came with recommendations that were right in line with what she wanted. Super friendly staff who were happy to let us casually peruse, and ultimately we walked away with a comic featuring AOC (a comic she couldn't walk away from). Located off of Devine st, there is limited parking right in front of the shop, but we didn't have a problem finding a spot, nor did we see the lot full each time we passed the area. Friendly staff, located on a main road, and filled with lots of entertainment from games to movies to comics, if you or someone you know wants to get into some adventures, come check Cosmic Rays out!

The two gentlemen at the counter very loudly said "I hate when randos come in and especially kids" and looks directly at him. Only person in the store is my kid. My kid is 17 and wanted to purchase some comics. Truly a poor way to treat someone who frequents other comic stores. Just won't be going to this one. I advise not to go and spend your money in a place where they don't want random people walking in.
