The front of the store!
Lennon H.

AMAZING SPOT!!! Super sweet owner who just loves comics and sharing the love with others, I came around opening time and he gave me a whole tour of the shop, showing me where everything is and all the cool stuff they have!! IF YOURE LOOKING FOR NEW COMICS THIS IS THE SPOT!!! The whole first room as you walk in is filled with new comics and merch and I found some of the newest Absolute issues i couldnt find anywhere else!!! Definitely coming back!!! It's a little hard to find but worth it pls look for it!!! Not overpriced either, PLUS he gave me a free candy, comic, AND a free sample of some coffee grounds!! Sorry I didnt notice earlier I CANT WAIT TO GO BACK!

While it's very very well hidden (and fairly small), Coffee and a Comic gives you a great, traditional comic book store vibe: with a front area that highlights hot reads and the owner's recommendations, and a back area where you can rummage through discount issues or stare at the store's more well kept more expensive issues, you can also get into a pretty good conversation with the store's owner about the current state of the comic book industry. And yes, true to the shop's namesake, you do get a packet of ground coffee with your comic book - quite super in its own way and something that makes your purchase feel extra special. Just don't spill the coffee on your comic book! Overall, Coffee and a Comic is a true gem of Huntington Beach.

A small but mighty comic store ran by someone with a big heart. My wife's mother was also big into comics and passed away recently. So to find this local shop really made me smile. The mission statement of the store is a must read on their website. Found all the major comics here and will be doing my pulls at this location. Support your mom and pop comic shop!

Becoming a customer of Coffee and a Comic has been one of my best decisions this year! I've always been into nerd culture but never comics because it felt like an intimidating possibly gatekeepy area. But when I checked out this store on Free Comic Book day, it felt so welcoming! Everyone was lovely, even other patrons. I left really excited to read my free comics. And later when I called, the owner helped me learn how to preorder upcoming comics online and subscribe to a series so I won't miss out. I don't feel judged at all for coming in to pick up my silly little Monster High comics :)

This location is pretty big. I think in comparison to the one I've been to in Monterey Park, I…read morethink this is the better location. However there are other locations around LA/OC area. Out of the 2 locations I've been to, this has a better parking lot as well. Since the store is a lot bigger, that means a lot more selection of figures, books, manga, videos and more. In general, I do enjoy this store as it has great value. I found quite a few things that were quite cheaper here than if you go to a large retail store. If you have anything that you may want to get rid of (but works very well or in good shape) you can see if they're willing to it and give you an estimate. The staff are helpful to help you (the best of their ability) to find what you are looking for or need.

It's really disappointing to see how far they've fallen, especially when it comes to their pricing…read more I don't know what their strategy is with used games and movies, but they seriously need a reality check. In some cases, their used prices actually exceed MSRP. For example, they're charging $70 for a loose, boxless copy of Pokémon Legends: Z-A for the Nintendo Switch 2--which is full retail price for a second-hand, incomplete item. Their trade-in values are just as bad. It's not uncommon for them to offer you a tenth of what they plan to resell your item for. I get that the secondhand market relies on profit margins, and that they're banking on uninformed sellers looking for quick cash, but they're doing it at the expense of their loyal, long-time community. At this point, books are the only category where you can still find a decent deal. For anything else, you're much better off using eBay or finding a different store.

super unassuming comic store in a business/office center by the airport. i walked in and the store…read morewas muchhh bigger than i thought! came in to give boyfriend 30 minutes to pick out whatever he wanted for his birthday. there are a lot of cool ones hidden in the $2 bins in the backroom if you have the time to look! there's also a couple shelves for manga, organized alphabetically if that interests you. customer service was on point! hart(?) was awesome and helped us find everything we wanted. super knowledgeable and friendly guy :') we were chatting every time we crossed paths and he made us feel very tended to! even gave us 10% off which was super kind. would definitely come back again!!

I had bought some items off of Alakazam's eBay store and had a great experience (I love that they…read moreoffer in store pickup to avoid shipping fees & that my wife could go pick up for me) so when it was Free Comic Book Day and I found myself in the area, I thought I would check them out. I'm so glad I did. This location is very unassuming. You might pass it without even realizing it as it's in a very nondescript office space area near the airport. But once you walk in, you can easily be overwhelmed with the sheet volume of inventory they have. It was great to see! I will say they tend to favor older issues and most of them are only semi organized in long boxes so you might have to do some flipping through to find things, but I guarantee you will be rewarded. I was able to come across several back issues that I had been looking for and some I didn't know I had been looking for. And when I asked them if they had any other variants from the series I had bought from them off eBay, they happily pulled out a long box from the back full of them that they flipped through and let me hand pick what I needed. That was some fantastic customer service. Even on a busy day like FCBD. Speaking of customer service, the two workers who were there were so incredibly friendly and helpful. From talking to my 3 young sons who were with me to chatting about what I was looking for and how I could find it. I was really impressed. I have a feeling that if it wasn't so busy, they would've walked over and searched with me just because they care that much. Honestly, if I didn't live in Los Angeles, this would become my local shop hands down. But, I can guarantee when I'm in Orange County and am looking for anything, I will absolutely be coming by to check out what they have. And, I will definitely be stopping at their eBay shop first if I'm looking for anything online. Do yourself a favor. Check out Alakazam. If you're a comic book fan, it will be worth your time. And if you're just thinking about getting in to comics, this would be a great place to start your journey.

Awesome record selection…read more Great customer service. Very reasonable prices. So much cool old stuff.

This place is a MUST visit in Huntington Beach. We came in very unsuspecting, but wanted a spot…read morewhere we could find some records. Uhm, SOME records is a severe under-exaggeration of what's offered at 1 Look. When we walked in, Davey immediately greeted us and asked what we were looking for so we pulled up a list of some records on a "hit list," then browsed around while he checked to see if he had any of them. Meanwhile, I hunted around - everything is in total organized chaos, with records everywhere, but clearly labeled by genre. The first record I pulled was Biggie's Ready to Die, which was an obvious must buy. We chatted music while searching and when I mentioned I was a Wu Tang fan, he put on one of GZA's first tracks that really kicked things off, that was unknown to me. Davey is someone who knows music and seems to really love what he does. The shop also features a ton of awesome vintage clothes, comic books, and different nostalgic items (plus VHS and DVDs too, which definitely made me feel old). We left with 4 records at great prices and will continue to come back anytime we're in Huntington! Such a unique space that you could spend HOURS in and not uncover all the magic in that place.
