I was taking a break from seeing my boyfriend's band in Kono Hawaiian Grill around the corner and decided I would sit down for a cup of coffee. Can you believe I got kicked out of there after I ordered a cup of coffee and wanted to sit down at one of their EMPTY"game "tables. There were at least three big "game "tables with at least four chairs around each one... And I bought a cup of coffee, left the generous tip and proceeded to sit down at one of the tables in this almost totally empty establishment. The manager or whoever he is proceeded to come over and RUDELY tell me I'm sorry these tables are for people who want to rent them to play games. Really? In this empty place? I just bought a cup of coffee and tip to generously and you're kicking me out because I didn't bring in a group of people to play board games on one of your many empty tables. You've got to be kidding me., Santa Cruz. The party of peace, love and light... And you can't even let me sit there for 15 minutes to have a cup of coffee. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.. I HIGHLY DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE.

We stumbled upon this place as were walking by and as big board game players, and my partner being…read morea coffee drinker, board game cafes are a must visit. They have a wide selection of games and even had a platter of cookies out for patrons to have. The owner, Wes introduced himself and was very friendly! He was happy to answer all of our questions and even explained the premise of games we showed interest in.

This place is truly amazing! It's tucked away in a building almost like a super hero's facility in…read moredisguised cause unless you look up and actually read the business sign you could very well NOT notice this place even exists. But I guess that's how comic book hero's roll, incognito. I'm not even sure if the younger generation even appreciates comic books like I do, but growing up comics were NOT considered cool, I remember getting made fun of for reading them, those days are long gone because of the movies and now everyone loves them. I've been coming to Atlantis since I was in middle school, I'm well into my early 40's now and hope this place never closes, the owner Joe is always at the shop, willing to help or order something he doesn't have. Truly an amazing place, I hope it sticks around for decades to come. Because comics are part of history and the contents of the comics are basis of many of the blockbusters that we enjoy today, thank you very much for the hospitality!

I've been on a hunt for a specific back issue of Dr. Strange so whenever I see a comic book store,…read moreI need to swing in. I'm so glad we just happened to park in the large parking lot next to this store. It was a delight. The store is much larger than it appears from the outside. Mainly because there's a whole second half you might not realize is there until you come in. The selection here is wonderful and the lay out newer issues in a very easy to browse way. The back issues are in your traditional long box that you need to flip through, but they're all labeled in a way that makes it easy to narrow down your search. While they did not have the specific issue I was looking for, they happily went online and found an online retailer that had it for a reasonable price. That's great customer service that no other store has ever shown me (including my own local comic book shop where I've been a regular for 10+ years). Even when I told them they didn't have to do that they insisted and had a site for me within a minute or two. I really appreciated that. The two workers were so friendly and helpful. When I mentioned I was from Los Angeles they asked where my local store was & immediately knew it and had nice things to say about the owner. You could tell they really loved what they did and the comic book community as a whole. While I don't know how often I will be in the area, if I am ever even remotely close I will absolutely come by again. This is one of the best shopping experiences I've has at a CBS outside of my area.

First all the positive stuff, amazing displays of the CRT's available, quite a bit if you're in need of a CRT this is the place hands down. Go check em out! The cards are very well displayed and look to be one of the biggest draws of the store. Now for the downside at least for me as a game collector I cannot walk up and touch a case and read a spine from the area they allow you to look from. I'm 56 yo full disclosure, I cannot read the damn title spines even with glasses, you know what else I have at 56 other than my eyesight? Actual money to spend at your store. So, fix this, I just walk out after 5 min of eyestrain and will check eBay instead. I love looking at the game boxes looking at the condition of the discs, it's why I walk into retro game stores, if I cannot see your product, well...

This is one of the best hidden gems in the Bay Area for a board game afternoon. The collection is…read moremassive, with every genre and skill level covered, and the upkeep is genuinely impressive: every single card is individually sleeved in plastic, so the games always feel brand new. The space is spotless, well-organized, and the staff make you feel instantly welcome. They've also got snacks and drinks on hand, so there's zero reason to leave once you've settled in. Needless to mention, unlike almost any other board game cafe in the Bay Area, they don't charge you just to sit and play. On top of that, they have a huge collection of comic books, board games, and comics-related items and artifacts available to purchase, so it's easy to walk out with more than you came in for. I love this place so much that it's always hard for me to leave. They close at 7 PM on weekends, and every single week, I find myself wishing I had just a little more time before heading out. If you want a calm, genuinely fun way to spend an afternoon, this is the spot in the entire Bay Area.

There are tables that you can create villages on however the people, army tanks, dragons, etc cannot be played with on the tables?! So weird. They have signs right next to the figurines that say "public allowed to use terrains." I don't speak "gaming language" however that allegedly means the "terrain" isn't off limits, but the items to put on the terrain are... so bizarre. Also, the open display case is filthy. That store hasn't seen a duster ever...

Then fast forward at least 15 maybe even 20 years and this guy entirely forgot he had credit because his job took him away from Santa Cruz. But one day he returns to get the batteries changed in his old Pokemon games (which they did quickly and for a very reasonable price) and he was informed he had almost 20 bucks sitting there. That's me. I'm the guy. It's been so long that they could never have told me and I would never have been the wiser. Also, even if I remembered they could have kept the money after so much time had passed and I would have fully understood. But nope, they held on to it and even told me about it. Their collection of retro games is amazing and you can buy modern games there too? It's all you could want in a game store.
