Geeky Teas and Games is the one of two game shops that I frequent. When I first moved here, I went to different game stores and I had trouble sticking to a lot of them. But Geeky Teas feels like a home away from home for me. The employees are so sweet, accommodating, understanding, and more than willing to help. read more

What a little GEM!! A very queer friendly hyge game store. They had multiple game rooms for play, tables for play, and entire sections for different types of games. They had board games, solo games, rpg games, card games, any game you could think of it was there. Plus lots of gaming accessories like dice, boards, playing mats, literally everything!!! I bought a card game but am going to be back to grab more solo rpg after some research. Friendly staff as well, just what you want in a game store. read more

Amazing staff!! I let them know the kind of people my friends are (competitive, liked coop, more math oriented, etc.) and the games they play and they had fantastic recommendations!!!! The inside is gorgeous as well and you just want to stay as long as possible. There are places to play the games but we didn't have time to read more

A cool game store that was clean with clear rules and guidance for safety. They had a station for hand sanitizer and masks at the entrance which was nice. There was plenty of parking in the lot too. We got what we came for - Riftbound trading cards. read more

So I will start off by saying this is my first time coming to this location since the last time I have been, it was still on Magnolia. Love that the space is much bigger so that more people can come together! Lots of space for more merch and games for sale. They have rooms you can book ahead too which is nice. The place is way bigger than the one on Magnolia.. it almost feels a little boggling to walk through the various shared spaces and hallways! Lots of tables. And you can walk in and get lucky with snagging a table by checking in w the person at the counter. But I believe they started taking reservations because it gets so much more packed now with more people coming out. I will admit tho that I really enjoyed when it was still on Magnolia. I jsut liked that it wasn't huge and it felt cozy with the booths upstairs. It didn't seem so daunting walking in, I felt like everything had its place and was easy to navigate. Maybe I jsut need to come out more to the new location but I wish there was a way to section the bigger rooms so it doesn't feel like a cacophony of noise, especially when it's packed. I suppose I'm partial to the first location because I went there so often... this new space feels foreign. But I do enjoy the various rooms, it feels expansive. Just wish it could have some of that coziness from before. And maybe they could have more ventilation because it was quite stuffy in the room we were playing in. Otherwise, the staff are great and super friendly. Definitely will consider coming back in the future ! read more

Geeky Teas & Games - Tabletop Games Near Me - Burbank, California

Stepping into this local game & tea shop on a rainy afternoon felt like being transported into a vividly realized series of alternate dimensions! From the moment we entered--greeted by a cozy blend of Doctor Who & Christmas decorations--it was clear that this wasn't just a shop, but a meticulously crafted experience! For a modest eight dollar fee, the world of board gaming was at our fingertips. Housed within were gorgeously themed rooms from a mystical fantasy themed forest room with a stunning wooden door to a swashbuckling pirate ship room. The atmosphere was incredibly immersive. We felt a palpable shift in energy entering the eerie séance room with a large round Ouija board table. We were charmed by the wizarding room and the Bilbo Baggins Lord of the rings party room complete with a detailed food mural. While the resident cats were tucked away napping because of the rainy weather, the sheer amount of merchandise & miniature painting supplies kept us captivated. However, the experience wasn't without a brief moment of friction. The serene environment was momentarily punctured by a tense encounter with a staff member, a man with glasses , who sharply corrected us for momentarily leaving the drink fridge a jar for just a few seconds. The atmosphere around the staff felt noticeably strained-- a sharp contrast to the shops otherwise magical atmosphere. Despite the odd flash of tension, the shop remains a geeky paradise I'm eager to share with friends. I can't wait to return when the cats are active and the otherworldly rooms are buzzing with gameplay! Huzzah! read more

If you are coming here to shop, you dont have to pay the $8 to enter. The $8 is for Game play or to use the rooms. Each time I come here, I always have to see the kittens! Theyre so cute and they're just babies! Most of the time they're sleeping, but this time, they were playing and eating. They have a very wide range of RPG books and figurines for sale. Husband says he's never seen so many. Follow their Instagram page because they had an RPG event a few weekends ago where they give out free rpgs to people who go there. I will always be returning! read more

Geeky Teas & Games, we re-meet again in the city of Burbank, but this time on a new block... Bigger and bolder with even more fun and wonders to explore from the full parking lot #Upgrade #EvenMoreInTheBack - to the front door... Looking for the Doctor/the Tardis? You can find it inside right when you open the door to this new lavish Geeky Teas Cavern along with a huge shop, check-in/register area, tons of rooms, tables, hidden gems and more. This board game spacious cafe house has it's signature green walls, game filled shelves (beyond tall), loads of hands of deck and that same nostalgic feel from it's Magnolia Blvd/Lincoln day, now on the corner of Alameda Avenue/Main Street - with The Original Yaki's Teriyaki Bowl in front and some small neighboring businesses next door. GT&G is still very much the main star of the show as the biggest and main spot in this unique plaza. They're definitely making this longtime 818/San Fernando Valley place in a new spot feel just as inviting as before. A veteran/women/lgbtq+ owned safe space with free Wi-Fi (see postings in front and near the entrance) is very much forever open to all. You'll definitely see families, chosen families, friends, acquaintances, significant others, and all enjoying themselves. A lot of board game groups meet up here regularly and reserve tables in advance, including a group I'm in GWF (via my friends Sean and Fabrice) - an all queer board game club/group I've been in for the past few years and getting back into. Enjoyed Dixit (and not just because I always win lol), Sushi Go, other party games and learned about as well as watched quite a bit of new games from RPG to moderate and/or advanced. Some fun things to note: They prefer no outside food and sell tons of snacks here. Additional you can find local restaurants (like Yaki) close by as well. Recommend having a meal before and/or after. Outside beverages are okay, just no adult beverages. I had so much Celsius, which I believe they might also carry here now. I brought my own, but the cold fridge with all the bevs had a lot of variety. Extremely ADA compliant and even more room the ever to navigate and enjoy your gaming experiences. It's $5 a person, and you can sign up for their points/rewards system for occasional perks/discounts/freebies. Geeky "T" & Games sells board games, board game pieces, collectibles, role-playing accessories, clothing, loose leaf teas (but of course), posters and all sorts of fun stuff available to purchase before, during or after your Geeky adventure. Incredible staff, including someone I quite fond of and have known for years, who I didn't realized worked here and felt bad for distracting him for a hello doing non-stop amazingness helping his fellow GT & Games crew, all the customers and multi-tasking like no other. Go Reid! Go! Cool themed roomed and places throughout - so much more to explore! Weekends are absolutely the busiest with peak hours seeming to start around 230/3pm and beyond - plenty of space, but do recommend Open all the days in a week from Noon until 10pm Monday through Thursday, Noon to Midnight on Friday and as early as 11am on weekends (Saturday until Midnight, Sunday until 11pm). Check out their website for events, deals, discover their full inventory and to link up with their Discord. Stop in, tea, game, converse and have some fun! read more

An amazing place to spend a couple of hours (or more)! I was responsible for entertaining some tweens and wanted to do an activity that didn't involve screen time. This board game cafe was the perfect space to keep them engaged and kept the adults on their toes too since we had to quickly figure out the rules of each new board game they selected for game play. The open area for table top game play was large and clean and you can also rent private rooms. They have hundreds of board games and it felt fairly organized. Staff was friendly and they have a little area tucked away where you can peek into where adoptable kitties hang out. It is also a store that sell board games and loose leaf tea. - Admission price with unlimited game play & in-n-out privileges: $5 pp Mon-Fri if you enter before 5pm, and then $8 pp for all other days/hours - You can bring in your own drinks (non-alcoholic), but no food. They sell snacks at a reasonable price. - Clean bathrooms and a place to refill your water bottle - There is a parking lot which seems like it can get crowded during peak times In general, it is a great place to hang out and try out a few board games before making any commitment to purchase! read more

This board game place is huge inside, and the establishment used to be a grocery store. It's literally a heaven for nerds here, so many collections and rooms for tournaments. It is hard to find parking in this shared plaza over the weekend, it took me a while to find street parking as it's limited as well, and another inconvenient part is no food or drink inside this tabletop game store. read more

This place is a total gem that more people need to discover. I was invited by a colleague to a game night and had no idea what to expect. From the outside the building looks pretty bland, but once you go through the front door as you enter into this amazing world for gamers.Geeky Teas and Games is not only a place to purchase unique games and accessories, but also for a community of game-loving individuals to get together. There are communal tables, private rooms; some with unique themed decor. They even have a small auditorium space that can be rented as well. The snacks are packed and British themed; plus the loose teas they sell as well. There is no cost to come in and shop at the store. If you reserve a room or want to play at a communal table for game night, there is a per person charge depending on the time of day. The shop also has a fondness for their cats, so you make catch a glimpse of one hanging out on the counter top. If you're not an avid gamer, do not feel put off to visit the shop. It is the perfect place to come for a casual experience, or to be introduced to a new hobby that you didn't know you would fall in love with. Geeky Teas and Games makes the experience a welcoming one for all enthusiasts at all levels. read more

My experience at Geeky Teas was absolutely wonderful. I reserved space in one of their private rooms for a birthday gathering and they ended up being closed that day to join the nationwide general strike. They rescheduled me, were super communicative, and they fully comped my reservation. They wouldn't take a cent for it even at my attempts to do so and were so kind and generous with me. It's so wonderful to find a small business like theirs that has such astounding integrity. Closing for the strike to involve themselves in their community is beautiful to me, and treating me to the cost of the room truly goes above and beyond any expectations I could have had. So okay; besides that: -the room I chose (Bilbo's birthday room) was spacious, ADORABLE, and has a side entrance where we were able to order food delivery. My friends and I were comfortable and able to let loose and have fun. -the shop is exceptionally clean and well appointed. I found a game mat from my wish list, helped myself to a stunning dice set, and found a bunch of games that I'd never even heard of. -the tea is beautiful. I purchased a bag of one of their blends, Sherl Grey, and it is a clean, comforting, and robust cup. -lastly their staff: everyone I spoke to there was kind, knowledgeable and helpful. It's SO HARD to find third spaces that feel like a home away from home. Do yourself a favor and check this one out. read more

Hands down the best board game store I've ever been to. Every time I go I am reminded of how lucky I am that it is my LGS. Usually there is some truth to the phrase "Jack of all trades, master of none", however Geeky truly is a "Jack of all trades, master of most-if-not-all". If you are looking for board games, the selection is hard to beat. If you want Warhammer, the selection is equally impressive and covers everything including 40k, AoS, Kill Team, Middle Earth Strategy game, and Bloodbowl. If you are into DnD and role playing, they have an entire separate room. If you drink tea, they make their own. If you want a cat, you can adopt one. And finally, if you need a place to play, they have a bunch of themed and non-themed rooms and play areas to rent for a reasonable price. I don't think I'm being dramatic when I say that this place is a treasure that must be protected at all costs. read more

Such a unique game shop. I'm honestly not a fan of going to card shops because the people are weird and the vibes are off. This shop however, is dope as fuck. They have a cat sanctuary inside and they have a lot of really cool niche game related art. I saw this sick ass die set that was based around a porcelain cup. If I was balling hard, I would definitely be sipping out of this teacup, throwin die. I've come here to play MTG with a couple of friends. I think I'd like to rent one of the rooms to play D&D soon. Overall, the card shop I've ever been to, and I always recommended to people read more

Chose this location to play some board games, was incredibly excited to see the wall of loose leaf teas they had available. The teas were reasonably priced, about $13 per bag. The selection of board games was great as well, many walls filled to the brim and the games were in excellent condition. They also offer a variety of snacks and bottled drinks to purchase while playing games. Would definitely recommend. read more

An amazing wonderland of all sorts of fantasy role play, D&D even live games every week. If you're a Mom like me with great appreciation yet little understanding about what to gift your bard elf or wizard this is the staff with the secret knowledge you've been looking for. I was able to get the perfect gift for them and a Buffy the Vampire tarot deck and gunpowder tea for me. Such fun read more

Solid good times can be had here but at the cost of table rentals. That's the trade off when you don't have a kitchen and are limited to snacks and bags of loose leaf tea for the house. Come here for TCGs and tabletop action as the have a decent variety of board games and ttb figures like warhammer. The staff are always friendly and it shares a parking lot with Yaki's so why not get some games in with an order of bulldog's? read more

I can't say enough good things about Geeky Teas - we go there several times a month to play games. They have an amazing game library, plenty of tables to play at, unique private rooms, great selection of games for sale, and the best staff ever! read more

This is one of my favorite spots, and I'm glad to see them grow and continue to grow. What makes it work for me is they have a solid game library to select from, they are incredibly well priced, and are a good community spot. They have a welcoming energy, and it's a good place to go with a couple friends to play through some games and spend some time. Their game selection is large enough you can find something to play. Their actual store side is decently large and they have a wide selection of games, ttrpg supplies. I like that there is a coffee shop in house now too. And they have dot Pretzels which are so good. I'm allergic to cats, not deathly allergic, but definitely get irritation and red eye and what not from fur and I have not had issues playing here. That said I do take something (Allegra) before just in case. That's to say even though there are cats it's not like you're going to crazy cat lady home where there will be fur everywhere and if you touch anything then your face your doomed. Parking can get crazy crowded in the front/side, but if you go to the back and walk a little bit there have been spots. I think I've had to wait for a table one time, so it's good to call ahead and ask for a reservation but if you're going to try your luck it might work out still. read more

Geeky Teas is a true gem of a place, I first went (2019) when they were at their previous location. It was great then and is still great now. It is by far the biggest board game store I've been too (only rivaled by Game Empire aka Odyssey Games). The staff is incredibly friendly and the selection of games substantial. As the name implies they do sell tea here and it is quite good! Every flavor is named after a nerdy show/movie/etc. They also have a selection of British snacks that make good compliments to the tea (I am partial to Digestives). Even with the new bigger location the all day pass still remains at 5 bucks and you can use any of the several shelves of games. Lastly I would like to mention the private rooms they offer, I've rented them before and they are quite nice! Each is themed differently and there are several to choose from. I just recommend you book ahead of time if you have your heart set out on a specific room as it may be booked if you wait till the last minute. P.S. They also have some adorable store cats and a rescue as well! read more

Been coming to Geeky Teas since they were in the old location and I love the new upgrade. There's a lot of parking, friendly staff and always a lot of options when it comes to games. I keep coming back because of how kind and helpful staff is! read more

This place is so amazing. The staff were happy and engaging. Made the experience even better. The place is set up for the wow factor. A TTRPG person, this place is a must-visit. They have a little of everything for your RPGing needs. I didn't try the tea or the coffee, but they have it all. If you are a dice goblin, you will be broke by the end of your visit. They have a ton of dice. I got some d6 gelatinous cube dice that are freaking awesome. Everything was priced reasonably, so I didn't think I was getting taken advantage of. Again, great spot, will be going back with the squad. read more

I rented the Party Business Room "featuring a beautiful 360° mural of Bilbo's Birthday Party from the Lord of the Rings" for my son's 16th birthday. It allowed my son to have an intimate party with a handful of close friends and everyone had a great time. The mural was perfect for the occasion. I didn't have to decorate and focused on the food, drinks and games. I loved being able to host a 3-hour screen-free party listening to the kids just having a great time socializing like normal kids instead of stuck to their phones. In fact, overall, this is the best feature of Geeky Teas and Games, you have a quiet place to just play games the old fashion way and disconnect from the noise of your mobile phone. Anyway, just love this place! read more

Always the best! Amazing staff, great game selection, adorable kittens for adoption...what more could you want?

I love this place so much. I wish it was closer, but it's so awesome that I kinda don't mind spending an hour to drive there. The employees are so professional and kind, the selection of goods is great, and the decor is unforgettable. Memories are made here. Can't wait to go back! read more

I hesitate to write a review about this place because there are things about this store that I enjoy, but the price gouging here has gotten extremely out of hand. To be clear, I've been shopping at Geeky Teas since they were at their first Magnolia location, and I always dug the vibe of the store and the crowd. I mostly bought board games, and they would usually go for a higher price than what I'd find at a big box store (Amazon, Target, etc) but I was happy to be supporting my FLGS and it was typically only 5 or 10% more than what I'd find online or at a major retailer. According to the owners own words, they sell products for MSRP. I'll even attach a screenshot of another review which she responded to that says so. A couple months ago when the Final Fantasy Magic the Gathering set was announced I knew I wanted it, but once again, instead of going through a big box store, I wanted to support my FLGS, so I hit up Geeky Teas and preordered a play booster box, a collectors booster box, and all 4 new commander decks. When I asked the store associate how much that would cost, she quoted me the MSRP I had seen on the official mtg website. When I asked if I needed to pay up front, she told me they weren't taking money for preorders just in case their were stocking issues, so I didn't pay ahead, but as I said, she did quote me on the price being at MSRP. Fast forward to this past Friday when I went to pick up my preorder. Lo and behold, they told me the actual price was now going to be $235 for the regular booster box, $90 for each commander deck, and a whopping $650 for the collectors booster box. The play booster box was being sold as if I was buying each pack individually as opposed to most retailers (even other LGSs) who were selling it for around $185, over a 25% mark-up, the commander decks were marked up almost 30% from their listed MSRP of $69.99, and the collectors booster was marked up almost 43% from the MSRP for 12 collectors packs $455. These mark-ups are insane, and can't simply be attributed to the current tarrif situation. I really wanted this set, and it was too late to find the product anywhere else (especially the collectors boosters which have a limited run) unless I was going to turn to scalpers/resellers, so instead I paid the exorbitant price for the items I preordered even though it was definitely a case of bait and switch. So in the end I ended up paying scalper prices anyway. This will probably be the last product I purchase from Geeky Teas. I'm mostly mad that I was told one price and expected to pay another when I showed up, if I had known that ahead of time I would have preordered elsewhere. I hope the ownership takes notice and changes their business practices. It feels like they've forgotten that the F in FLGS stands for friendly, and these are not very consumer friendly practices. I want to support local business, and I understand they have a higher cost of doing business than big box stores, but this sort of price gouging and misleading behavior is unacceptable. *Note in the images provided I payed with 2 forms of payment, hence the two receipts read more

I came for a game night meetup. There is a $5 cover charge to play. They don't serve food but I did see some drinks to purchase and possibly snacks. It was a wonderful space. They have a plethora of games to play and to purchase.

Geeky Teas is the best board game store in La, hands down. Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable, selection is fantastic, and there are now TONS of private gaming rooms in addition to the huge amount of public gaming tables where you can sit down and game. The selection of board games, both for sale and to pull off the shelf and play, is incredibly large and vast. Often times there are even Kickstarter editions of games, which I haven't seen anywhere else. So head over there and play some games already! Oh, and grab a chocolate bar from their European chocolate section while you're at it. read more

I love Geeky Teas and Games. It's a great place whether you are a novice gamer or an experienced one. They even have crafting spaces available for painting models or knitting.

1000/5 stars This review isn't for the store itself, but for the cat rescue within the store that helped me take in an abandoned kitten I found on the streets. I called a couple of cat rescues who never got back to me and a colleague of mine suggested Geeky Teas & Games. So, I called the store and spoke to a wonderful lady, Donna. She agreed to take in the kitten and, for that, I will always be super grateful! The staff are incredibly kind, too! The kitten is sweet and spicy and deserves a loving home! I believe they renamed her to Tauriel (LOTR). I'd keep her if I wasn't allergic to cats. read more

What do you mean??! A tea shop that doubles as a game store that also does cat adoption while simultaneously being a safe space to play TTRPGs !?! Literally was in awe as my friend toured me around the space to see all the different rooms with their uniquely, perfectly decorated themes. My only regret is that I only travel with a carry-on so I didn't have the space to fly back with bags upon bags of cool dice. However, I did walk away with a Critical Role shirt so that's pretty cool. Would it be wild to move back to Burbank just so I could be a regular here? read more

Wow, this is such a cool place. I am not a gamer, but I can appreciate gaming and all of its nuances, and this is a very special space---it's affordable. It's accessible. There is tons of parking. The vibes are good--this is the type of place that keeps vulnerable people safe. My husband and I organized a day of gaming and a dinner for our good friend's birthday; he and his wife are avid gamers. We drove up from Orange County and we are really glad that we were able to spend quality time here. It's such a cool and welcoming store, the staff were all so kind and sweet and helpful, and the game rooms are fantastic. I really think that anyone who wants to game should check it out. Five dollars gets anyone daylong access to a huge library of games, and I love the theme rooms. I don't think I got to see all of them, but from what I did see, there was something really cute and Bridgerton themed, a cat room, a Disney room, a giant and super awesome Battletech/Warhammer space, and several others. We were a foursome, and we did not have a reservation, but that was OK, because one of the staff were able to find us room at a communal table. We spent several hours playing a variety of games, and then left to go get some dinner at Porto's nearby, and then we came back until 10:30 PM. We were surprised and delighted that our table was reserved with a sign. Over the course of many hours, we bought snacks, candles, tea, and ended up purchasing a couple of games. We loved seeing Mr. President wander around, and the closed off/private area for kitties waiting to be adopted was super precious. We saw folks from all backgrounds here, enjoying themselves. I don't believe the owners were there that day. But, they have done a marvelous job at creating an amazing place. It was gorgeous. It was clean, it was inclusive. We look forward to coming back, we hope that maybe there are plans for a coffee shop or café or something next door. read more

Ok walking in was already so cool with the Tardis and Dalek in the front but the cat sanctuary and staff make it even better! Fitz helped my mom and I buy cards for my brother who loves Magic the gathering and currently in hospital. We wanted to get him the edge of eternities boosters and had no clue what to even grab really. Fitz made sure to explain everything to us and had so much patience the entire time. They also were so kind to give a little card with a frog on it to my brother so that my brother could have another little surprise. Thank you Fitz for making the whole experience so easy and being so kind with us. You are a rockstar! read more
