Game N Grounds is a charming board game and coffee shop with a great fantasy/D&D vibe. It's a…read moreversatile spot where you can settle in for a game or just work on your laptop. I loved their drink selection--they offer wine, cider, and beer alongside standard coffee. Their food menu is also solid, featuring sandwiches, charcuterie boards, and pastries. We visited on a Thursday morning & it was surprisingly packed; every table was full. We managed to snag a spot in the middle, but the space felt very cramped. We were so close to the next table that we could hear their entire conversation, which wasn't ideal. My friend enjoyed the club sandwich, which came with a side of tater tots. We both tried the hibiscus iced tea--it was refreshing, but I have to admit it was a bit lacking in flavor. They have a cool selection of games, plushies, shirts, and coffee beans for sale. The back lot is extremely small. Plan on finding street parking. Arrive very early to beat the crowds! Overall, It's a fun place to hang out and I'd likely stop by again if I'm in the area, though the close quarters are something to keep in mind. IG @balicookingadventures

Possibly the best comic book store in the Valley. Been going for years, mostly on FCBD in May, and…read morethey handle that event really went despite the crowd. They also have a lot of signing events, which is pretty cool! Really appreciate that they have a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are super helpful and take time to chat with you and give solid recommendations. Been to other stores that feel very judgey and just want you out ASAP. Collector's Paradise is the complete opposite. Layout is nice and spacious giving room to browse. The sections by author took me a while to get used to. Good selection and I love that authors randomly drop in and sign copies (and the store sells them at face value).

Great local comic book shop. My son wanted a manga and I called to see if they had it in stock…read more Luckily they did and were kind enough to set it aside for a few minutes until we got there. They have a good selection of comics, graphic novels and manga. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Support your local bookstores / shops!

I had reserved an item at this shop. Because of my religious observance, I was unable to pick it up…read moreon Saturday and asked to collect it on the next business day. Instead of offering flexibility, I was told the reservation would be canceled if I didn't come in that same day and that no refund would be issued. To me, this shows a lack of respect for customers' needs and circumstances, especially when those needs are based on faith. A reasonable business would provide at least a basic window of time or accommodation. Because of this rigid and dismissive policy, I will not be returning, and I strongly recommend that anyone considering a reservation carefully confirm the store's pickup terms in advance. I originally posted this review some time ago, and I stand by my experience. Rather than pressuring to have negative reviews removed, businesses should focus on improving how they treat their customers. My experience was real, and I believe it's important to share it so others can make an informed choice.

Now that the malls have opened up again, I thought I would take the family on a little stroll…read morethrough the mall. I came across this store that I had never been to before. It was very neatly organized and I loved all the colors. They are following all the Covid precautions and all the staff were wearing masks and very friendly and helpful. The currently have a promotion with the Funko Pop toys and have them on sale for 4 for $34. My husband and I bought 2 for 10 dollars each and one on sale in the clearance section. They have a wide variety of board games, LEGO's, beanie babies and more. I could spend forever in there if I could. I look forward to visiting again soon when I need some more games!

Nephew went in today looking for a new toy. He decided on a Rubik's Cube. Purchased the item and he…read moreexcitedly opened it in front of the store only to find that the item was defective. The stickers were peeling off around the edges. If anyone has played with a Rubik's cube before, once this happens, it is difficult for the toy to maintain integrity throughout. We went back and asked if we could exchange it for a good (non-defective) item, only to be told that they don't accept any sort of return or exchanges on opened items. The "manager" was the one who made the decision even though he had just sold me the item moments earlier. Maybe it's your store policy, and you're standing your ground but this is completely unacceptable. No one should be able to disavow themselves of product defect liability when they are profiting on it. Boil it down how you want, it's just a horrible experience for anyone - especially a child to go through. If you are thinking about getting something here for yourself or your family, I would strongly encourage you to simply - stay away.

This place gets everything right. The selection is fantastic, the shop is clean and well organized, and it actually feels like a space designed for players, not just transactions. You can tell immediately that this isn't just a store, it's a community hub. What really sets it apart is the people. The staff are knowledgeable, welcoming, and genuinely care about the players walking through the door. That's not something you can fake, and it shows in how the community shows up. Whether you're brand new to TCGs or deep in the hobby, you feel like you belong there. They also do a phenomenal job supporting events and keeping the scene active. There's always something going on, and it creates that energy that great local game stores used to have, but a lot of places have lost. If you're anywhere near Simi Valley and into trading cards, this place isn't just worth checking out, it's worth going out of your way for. Absolute gem.
