Awful pokemon selection they barely had anything, no slabs and the few cards they did have were clearly damaged when I flipped them over. Prices were a bit above market for ungraded.

Naturally, I spent most of my time downstairs. The bookseller on the lower level was so knowledgeable! We got into a whole conversation and they pointed me toward several horror picks I never would have found on my own, including some horror graphic novels I'm genuinely excited about. That kind of interaction is exactly why indie bookstores matter. They also have an in-person horror book club, which honestly made me a little sad because I couldn't join. If I lived in Sacramento, I would 100% be a regular here. Highly recommend if you're passing through.

Walked around for 20 minutes trying to find this place as my little one really wanted to grab something once we heard there was a comic store in this shopping center. Finally found it...and it's closed! Got here at 6:30pm, no joke their hours on the door says open until 7ish. Rent ain't cheap here...seems like whoever owns this place could care less how it does. Absolute joke of a store and these are not serious people. So many other spots to choose from with people who are passionate about what they do. I'd buy online before coming back here.

New favorite bookstore in Sacramento. I first visited a few weeks ago and this time I decided to…read moredrop by after errands. The store has a wide selection of books on just about every topic. I was specifically looking for Mesoamerican mythology and history of colonial Mexico and I found it. Books are decently priced, they have both new and used. The price point is fairly accessible for the condition of the books. I love getting lost in those shelves it's the best part of bookstores in my opinion. Staff is always friendly and helpful, always willing to give you a free bookmark or a photo of a crop circle!

Pricing is affordable ($5-10). Fiction selection was well-populated, including not only the usual best-sellers, but what seemed like a curated collection of interesting books from the past several decades. I didn't spend much time looking at the classics section (again, always appreciate having classics separated out from fiction), but it was reasonably sized. Overall, recommend, I could have spent much longer browsing! I will certainly keep it in mind for another visit the next time I am in the area.

Have been a few times and got the it is what it is tone when asking about items and prices. The selection is good, nice variety of products, a little more than market, but was willing to pay that to support local. Went in today and looked through the single cards and saw many items on my wishlist. Knowing that prices fluctuate due to market pricing/demand. Asked simply if they match current market price (all local shops around here do and are happy to). Was informed that would require someone to be constantly checking the price, the item is here, and told me if it's cheaper online get it there. Thanks for that advice, I will happily order and online and advise anyone to do the same. Service/care might be better with those online vendors. Saw another review and a totally agree about the no interest in their customers. I would advise to do a quick search for other local shops that are excited to help and engage with customers.

You can pickup some cheap vinyl outside, or you can go in and peruse a small but decent selection. I was able to get an interesting colored vinyl variant of Aesop Rock's "Daylight" EP while I was there at a reasonable price, and was also able to have a conversation about said record with the guy working. It felt like an old school genuine record store vibe, which is disappearing and appreciated. They have a lot of junk - in the most loving way - that you may want to get, like collectible toys. Not so much of the Funko Pop variety, but more like actual toys you might remember playing with - like He Man and the Masters of the Universe, or The Simpsons figures. I like that more than the "everything is still in a box and not meant to actually be enjoyed" variety, so this place is cool there. It's a nice little place to swing into to just look around, maybe pick up a record, and have a cool convo. Can't complain about any of that.

So many unique items - gag gifts, naughty gifts, a whole glow in the dark section, T-shirts, magnets, jewelry - you name it!

You can find it all and so much more at Evangeline's - it's really an amazing store! I could spend so much time looking at every section and item. Most items are fairly priced, but as with most small businesses, a lot of stuff is sometimes on the pricy side. Don't even get me started on their incredible 3 store costume mansion that is now open year round! It's a must see as well! Staff is friendly and helpful! Check them out!
