I want to give this review no stars that is how bad this place is. I have been to many comic book…read morestores in general and have had no problems ,but this place is a joke. Staff are rude and horrendous to customers they will accuse you of stealing and start yelling at you to leave. They will threaten to call police on you when they have no proof and ban you from coming in the store.What makes it even worse is they have no security cameras to prove you did anything or stole anything which is totally bullshit. If I am accused of something and threatened to go to jail I want proof from security cameras of me stealing. Oh wait there are none. A good comic book store to go to is myth and legends on bank street much better store prices are great and I love the staff there super friendly and helpful best store in town love it there.This store should be shut down for good before more people get banned for no reason!

A nice selection of comics. It's kind of tight in the store but you get used to it. Friendly,…read morehelpful staff and comics for a good price. Nowhere near as huge as the comic book stores in Toronto when I visited, but it is Ottawa after all.

I felt accepted there like one of the regulars as soon as i stepped in. The people are warm and…read morefriendly, they are accepting of anyone. The comics are of high quality. It's not cheap pulp crap you see elsewhere. It's printed on real nice paper. People love these books. You can tell people there are having the time of their life. I would go everyday if I could but believe me, I have a busy schedule. I do.

The Comic Book Shoppe is a solid place for anything geek-related…read more Among the stuff you can find here are trading cards, great for me since I wanted to get some MtG boosters. In fact, there must've been a promotion going on, since my friend who doesn't play was given a free draft booster, probably in an attempt to keep the noble tradition alive. The other stuff you can get are varied. You have comics (evidently) in the style of manga and western graphic novels. I also noticed some magazines and art books. Aside from these are some interesting board games, apparel, figurines, action figures, and miscellaneous accessories. There's also a place for games; I saw people playing with cards (likely also Magic). The store is completely judgment-free, so don't worry if you feel like you stick out. The staff here are very friendly and will help you find what you need.

Black squirrel is a used (with some new) and very carefully curated bookstore with two levels of exploring to do. At the front of the shop is an espresso bar that offers lots of tasty treats and alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. I got a oat milk cappuccino and a small chocolate mint cookie. The cookie was only 1$ and so tasty, like an elevated and adult girl guide cookie!! Excellent prices and kind service. This will be my new go to when I have some time in Ottawa South.

Everything is overpriced. On release of products they withhold it for a day to see the marketplace…read moreprices and price them at the highest rate possible. Example of Destined Rivals they didn't have stock yesterday they "Didn't receive it" and has them previously posted for 85$ per ETB and the next day they "received their stock" and now they're asking 150+ tax for a Destined Rivals ETB... which is even higher than Collectr or Facebook marketplace prices. They have consistently been doing things like this in the past. They have also not honored online transactions claiming "It's out of stock" when confirming through calls or emails afterwards because the product went up on the secondary market and they wanted to be able to mark them up as well cancelling the order. Scalpers and unethical. I don't know how they're staying in business.

All of their graphic novels are custom-priced 5%-10% above the Canadian cover prices. They also…read moreincorrectly charge provincial sales tax on their books, even though Revenue Quebec's own website explicitly states that these are tax-exempt items. When I questioned the owner on this he fabricated some ridiculous fiction that the books are not tax-exempt because they do not have ISBN codes on them (which of course they all do - printed right on the back cover in most cases). There are plenty of honest, ethical comic book dealers in the capitol region; no reason to shop here.

We have been enjoying visiting this local used book store, roughly once a month. They got us hooked…read moreon a series of books, and we keep stoping by to see if they have the next one in the series available. After all, the library does not have absolutely everything! The store is following COVID protocols. The staff is warm and friendly, and knowledgeable. They have oodles of books, with a kids section of the shop, as well as a variety of movies. Recently, because of the holidays coming up, they have been selling groups of a dozen books all individually wrapped, as an "advent calendar" of books, containing such things as Archie comics. To encourage kids to read. This book store has a Facebook page as well, to advertise what they are doing in the wss as y of special events. And watch for the adorable guard-cat :-)

Saw these guys at Fan Expo this year (Saturday). It was very busy on a Saturday on the floor at…read moretheir table due to demand of the other events, therefore, I was unable to navigate through the boxes with ease. I did give them a print out of my wish list and although they only had 1 title on hand, they were super helpful. The prices for their selection wasn't bad. Of course they couldn't bring their entire store with them, however, just e-mailed them a copy of my list so that they can look for some titles for me in their store front when they get home after the Fax Expo long weekend.

I had no idea what one i was looking for and needed help. I waited for twenty minutes while the clerk discussed Mexico, writing papers for university and every other topic unrelated to the store with another customer, while I waited in plain sight. The clerk clearly knew nothing of customer service. I will not be returning to entertainment ink and recommend anyone who is looking for quality service to avoid this store.

So Westboro Books is a bookstore that recently (October 2023) opened up where The Wild Child…read moreProject used to be (before that it was Cococo Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut). They obviously have books, of all genres, but they have so much more than books. They have board games/card games and they have toys too, including Celestial Buddies, which are plushies of planets, moons and all things, well... celestial, lol. I especially liked the Saturn plushie. They have "Every Child Matters" stuffed bears as well. They have really cool bookmarks (I especially liked the Spaghetti and Meatballs bookmark). They have earrings that are book covers! Perfect for the bibliophile in your life who also loves jewelry (and has their ears pierced). The bookstore is very open and not cluttered at all. They had some shelves still empty when I went the first week of November 2023, so I think they will be getting more merchandise. Prices are comparable to other regular bookstores. No bargain basement prices, but no huge markup for being in trendy Westboro, lol. Staff are friendly and pleasant. They leave you alone to browse, which I like, but seemed helpful with other customers who needed help (I did not need help, so did not interact too much with staff). Great place to pick up gifts. They are definitely a welcomed addition to Westboro! Street parking only.

She also mentioned she intends to host book related events and have kids events which will be perfect for winter. Definitely added to my fevorite places list.
