I got stuck in Cottage Grove this weekend because my tire blew out on Saturday, so I have to stick around through Monday. Happened to find this shop and played a few rounds of commander. Viktor was really welcoming and helpful, explaining how the commander event works and holding my purchases until we could find out if I would get any store credit (which I did!). The shop is lovely and the fact that they sell art supplies is super cool. Some guy named Chris who was playing EDH as well decided to be a jerk, though. I use they/them pronouns which, tbh, I don't tend to make a big deal out of. When one person at the table referred to me using the incorrect pronouns, I gently corrected, adding that I hadn't introduced myself with them so I wasn't upset. Chris took it upon himself to become hostile, declaring that "I don't use pronouns." (Anyone catch the irony? Lol) Supposedly he uses peoples' names for everything? He also told me he "won't play into that stuff," at which point I decided to leave. We continued to argue for a few minutes with him telling me he wasn't being hateful and that "I'm just being me" (again with the pronouns lol). Anyway, long story short, I called him dumb. This was, as he correctly pointed out, rude. I'm unapologetic about this; I wasn't the one that made a nonsense argument about pronouns. All I did was ask that people refer to me by my pronouns. That's all. Anyway. I got Viktor's attention so I could check out with my purposes and explained that I didn't feel comfortable staying because of the transphobia. Viktor said that such behavior was not tolerated and Chris was asked to leave. I still headed out because I was pretty upset, but I wanted to leave this review. I also wanted to add that the other folks at the table were not hostile, and that one of them actually approached me after to say some kind words. read more

I have been to Delight several times while being in the area, and I simply adore the selection of gift items and collectable memorabilia. There's items for every anime watcher or general card game player in my life, and the staff are very friendly! However, there is typically only one person manning the store, and a lot of times, they will start talking to another customer for an extended period of time, sometimes even showing Magic the Gathering cards and the like. Simply, you must be brave enough to engage the person at the rwgister at times. And it is certainly worth it for what you can get! read more

Delight doesn't even begin to cover our happiness at stumbling on this amazing store. We were on a long hot drive up from California, and pulled into Cottage Grove to eat at Buster's on the strength of the its Yelp reviews. (Which they deserve. But that's another story.) As we walked into the restaurant, my kid noticed that the place next door had a t-shirt for her favorite anime, and I promised that we would take a look around after we ate. (SO happy that they were open on Sunday!) Delight carries a well-curated selection of merchandise for all the anime we love, and a lot of gaming supplies. But, the most amazing part of Delight was the staff. They let my daughter buy the Fruits Basket poster that wasn't technically for sale right off the wall, and rigged up a mailing tube to keep it from getting tattered on the rest of our week-long road trip. They helped my other kid find exactly the MTG cards he wanted, and sent the rest of us off with starter packs that caused a bunch of middle-aged people who hadn't played MTG since its initial release in the 90s to start playing again. They couldn't have been nicer, and the store couldn't have been more interesting. If we lived anywhere near Cottage Grove, I'm pretty sure my teenage kids would live at Delight. And, we will definitely drive out of our way to visit if we're ever in Oregon again. It's just really a great place. read more

I love this shop. They treat you like family and their prices are fair. They are very plugged in to the community and have a great location. I only go about once a year when I'm in town, but it's always worthwhile. They always seem to remember me and that impresses me. They host tournaments and events and I can see how welcomed the other patrons feel. It's a great thing. read more

I love Delight and the owner Theresa. She knows a lot about a lot of anime. My 13 year old daughter loves her store as well. Businesses don't stay around much downtown and I've been hoping that she will be here a long time. So far it looks good. I can't believe all the stuff she has for sale. The knee high socks are great. They have different designs on them and some are made mostly of cotton. She is definitely filling a niche in our small town. read more
