Up front is random games and comics. It's nice looking for what was once a sort of army paraphernalia room of an antique store. Now more of a Starbase like its name. In the back they have tables to play card or board games. They have a big selection of snacks and drinks to fill you up when gaming. Service was friendly and was ready to answer any question.

I've loved every game I've bought here (all based on recommendations from Danny)! I go out to Palm Springs (from LA) just to go to this store! I also love that they have a lot of the games open for you to try out/look out. The prices are about the same as other stores and online.

Wanted to stop by to see an honest to goodness manga cafe here in Coachella. It's near a college,…read moreso it has that going for it. It's a brand new manga cafe. You can sit back and read all the manga they have for $10 for a whole day. Pretty nice atmosphere inside. You have unlimited tea and water upon entry. And, yes they have restrooms too. There's even gaming nights. I'd say ask or look around at their collection first if you think it'll keep you satisfied. There are some downsides that stopped it from being five star, but it's just starting out. -I'd like it if store hours were a little more consistent with what I read online. -Tea stirrers -They've got a problem with tiny flying bugs around the tea area, the store. They need to learn to shut the main door or put up a screen door, if they want it left open or they're gonna keep getting in. -Some cold drinks that aren't so pricey

Calico games is a genuinely wonderful place. Joey and Czar are some of the coolest, kindest people…read moreyou'll ever interact with. They are knowledgeable, passionate, and respectful. They have a love for gaming as an art that is rarely seen these days. Every interaction with these gentlemen is an absolute treat, and you really feel like part of the team here even just as a customer. I've purchased many games here and two consoles thus far, most recently a PlayStation 4 Pro. This console is clean, pristine, and doesn't have a single speck of dirt in the vents. That is incredibly rare - especially with a used item. Calico clearly refurbishes and takes good care of their consoles, unlike most places who just pawn off whatever they take in. Their game discs are practically brand new, even used, all of the discs I purchase have zero scratches to the naked eye, and play flawlessly. The prices are incredible, you can get like-new premium games for $4.99+, and that is absolutely fantastic worth. The PlayStation 4 Pro I purchased was $180 - an absolute beast of a deal! Most of all, I especially love how Joey and Czar remember me by name whenever I enter the store, it just really makes me feel special and cared for as a customer. Concluding, I genuinely appreciate that Calico Games caters to people who respect physical media. The staff clearly understand the value of disc-based and cartridge-based games, and they make it easy to find complete, playable titles without relying on digital updates or patches. It's refreshing to see a store that honors the classic way of gaming--buy a game, play it as it was printed, and enjoy it start to finish. Calico Games feels like a haven for collectors and anyone who wants the authentic disc experience. Highly recommended for those who value physical media and the integrity of the original games. Happy to be a customer of Calico!

I had a very disappointing experience with this pawn shop. I went to the store on 3 different…read moreoccasions during my lunch time and they were not open. I've had my son to check on his way home and they again and again weren't open during normal business hours. Prior to becoming seriously ill and being hospitalized for two weeks, I spoke directly with the man who runs the shop. He informed me that my item would be ready for pickup the following week and assured me that as long as I stayed in communication, my items would be held. After I recovered and returned to pick up my belongings, I was treated very rudely and unprofessionally. The same individual who previously assured me everything was fine suddenly became disrespectful and dismissive. When I asked for the owner's information, I was told he was the person I was speaking to, even though I had already communicated with him before and had never been treated this way. I have always had a decent relationship with this business until now, which makes this situation even more upsetting. The lack of professionalism, poor communication, and disrespectful attitude were unacceptable. Based on this experience, I would not recommend this place. I hate that I was ever in a situation to pawn my things in the first place but they are not honest people!

Little did I know I'd walk out today with a BRAND NEW WII! We got a Wii (it also included Wii Fit) and purchased a LOT of games too. The Wii was a huge part of my childhood and unfortunately the one I owned growing up was damaged and thrown away (gasp... I know! But not my fault)! Anyways, the worker there today (had on a My Chemical Romance hat & had some cool tattoos) helped us out today. I didn't get their name, but they were very nice and extremely helpful. The pricing here? Out of this world. It was so affordable to snag over 10 games and a brand new Wii. That's not something you'll get at Game Stop! On top of it, they offer a military discount (we couldn't use it but it's good to know for anyone who can)! This place is also dog friendly and I got to meet a cute dog named Bowie (I wonder if he's a regular)! All and all, I wish this place were located in Los Angeles. I really loved it and again their pricing was extremely fair. I really hope they can get a website up soon because I'd love to buy from them when I'm back home! Thank you for an awesome, affordable and great experience. It was like walking down memory lane in this store!! It took me back to my childhood.
