I went here nearly daily for years. Their day pass is a really good value, and the people that run…read morethe spot are insnanely nice. It's cool place to run into and meet people you probably never would be otherwise who likely play the same stuff as you. There's snacks for purchase inside, a subway in the other part of the building, a convenient store that has everything on the other side.. so really there is everything you could ever need. The lighting on the inside is cool, and the computers run everything, are in good condition. The only downside I ever ran into was that sometimes you need to hunt around for a working headset, but other than that . 10/10

Genuinely just not a space for anything besides casual gameplay, the first thing I noticed…read moreimmediately were these plastic bumpers between each desk. Understandably they're there to keep everyone within their designated ~42 inch square but realistically there's no way to aim here, you will absolutely smack your mouse into the bumper if your normal sens exceeds 15cm/180. That math might sound kinda funky but they have a full 100% keyboard with a numpad, so you lose all that space in practice unless you curl up in a wildly unnatural position and rest the keyboard on the plastic bumpers but nothing I did even remotely made this place comfortable. It's as if they've never had anyone play a shooter here, or everyone who ever has had an eDPi of 12000 or higher. They aren't really equipped for MMOs either, every mouse in sight was a Razer Deathadder Essential, no Nagas or Scimitars or even a knockoff 12 button, so unless you're clicking your buttons or reaching to the = key naturally on a full sized keyboard you're crippled. I picked up a 5 hour session off the rip because my buddies in town and I only have one PC in my place, I couldn't even survive 30 minutes here before just giving up and deciding to watch him play, but even a guy who never gets to play, who really wants to play, couldn't survive more than an hour and a half of his five hours. Side note, we pushed in our chair to make space to walk through the aisle and the light rattle of the desk sent a PC for a whole bootloop back to BIOS. If you aren't desperate it's something, but don't come here for Overwatch or Valorant or CSGO or really any shooter.

First off, anyone who knows me knows I love my Starbucks... With that being said, there's not much…read moreI expect when I go to the actual location on 43rd Avenue & Thunderbird. There were two workers, Keira & the wonderful you man whose name I didn't get to catch, that were simply Stupendous. Their energy was outstanding, the quality of my items were excellent, & the speed of service was speedy & proficient. They are both, Awesome!

Too bad this is the location near my home, I have been a customer at Starbucks for over 15 years, I…read morehave made very close friends with baristas at other locations where I have lived before, when I travel I try to stop at as many Starbucks shops as I can! It's an experience and their bad customer service truly doesn't give you that, gives you a bad taste in your mouth early in the morning . I understand how busy it gets but to ignore a good morning and thank you etc, almost every time. I rather walk into fry's on cactus and 43rd . The customer service there is always so great ! And it took me like 5 bad experiences at this Starbucks to post this .

I am usually not in this area a lot, but my daughter & I wanted to go check out this bookstore for…read moresome used books so we took the drive down. When we arrived, I realized I remembered this spot from when I was a kid, I just hadn't been back since I was younger. This spot is absolutely STUFFED with books, comic books, VHS tapes and more. You could spend quite a long time wandering around looking at all of the books they have to offer. It can be slightly overwhelming especially if you are looking for something specific as there wasn't really any clear guidance on where to find certain sections. We still had a lot of fun though wandering around and seeing what we could find. If you are looking for the prices, they are written in pencil on the inside of the books. You can find a mixture of mostly used books along with some new books. They have a cute shop cat that you can sometimes spot wandering around, or asleep at the front. The woman who was working the register the day we visited was friendly! They also had a cart out-front with a number of books that were free to grab. There is plenty of parking out-front.

Found this little gem in Phoenix last week when I was on the hunt for a used copy of Song of…read moreSolomon. I called and they said they have the 1984 edition for $6, which was a great price. Once I was got to the store, I had to explore. I think that if one were to regularly visit Books, he/she would find some rare editions and other gems. Also, they had what looked like reproductions of banned book announcements posted around the store: all were of classic novels that we can't imagine not having access to as students. (See photos: Charlotte's Web, Huck Finn, Fahrenheit 451...) They were quite entertaining, in a disturbing way. They had the effect of making me feel so grateful that past efforts of censorship in the US had failed. In 2024, this is still a real threat. Tiny stores like this one are real treasures. Let's keep them in business.

This is an update. my first few visit were great! i originally gave them a 4 star…read more.. Today I'll give a 5 star. The gentleman that helped me in front to decide what i wanted was very nice and informative. They have been consistent in their service and food. I love the busy atmosphere with lots of customers sitting at long tables studying or whatever they are doing. several couches and seats near the entrance is where i prefer to sit. My daughter and her friend love this place also. It has become a regular place when we come to the city Thanks Lux for making a great place to stop at for coffee and chill

I have wanted to try this place for awhile but it's always so busy on weekends. Went today…read more(Monday), wish I hadn't. Was not greeted by any staff (although at least 4 walked past me without even a head nod), had no idea what the menu was or pricing. Located a girl standing in front of a register and asked her where the menu was ~ she pointed and said over there... There were 4 different cards sitting where she pointed. (The red one's are for food.) I randomly order something. (Espresso over ice with whole milk ~ received it with oat milk took a taste and yucked out of that. Directly into the dumpster at the back of the parking lot. ) I could have went back in there but for $6 it wasn't worth my time. If you are a regular, they seem to treat them very nice. If you are new to their establishment ~ you don't matter.
