Don't be misled by the small size and humble interior, Gamers Haven is exactly what it says on the…read moretin: a haven. Weekly and Monthly events, friendly staff, a lively community, just some of the many reasons I personally consider Gamer's Haven to be my favorite third space. I've been coming there since 2021, first entered the store during a flesh and blood tournament to pre-order the newest edition of killteam to begin my war gaming journey, and the haven has been there with me every step of the way. I've made new friendships, epic and hilarious stories, and countless of poor financial decisions that I wouldn't take back just because it helped kept the lights on. Do be warned, the previous owner had a "No-Wotc" products policy for reasons too long to explain here, and the newer owners decided to keep it, so if you're looking for D&D or MTG, you won't find it here. Personally, the store doesn't need WOTC anyway. Because of this policy, they've expanded out to different TCGs such as Flesh and Blood, Lorcana, Riftbound, and Uni-Versus. There is also a lively wargaming scene featuring, of course, Warhammer and other GW games, but also Bolt Action, Konflict '47, and Moonstone. There unfortunately isn't much of an RPG scene there at the moment, but private rooms are available to use, and there are groups who regularly meet at the haven for RPG nights. And of course, there is a healthy selection of board games available and a weekly board game meet up in case you need people to play with. Whatever reason you have to escape from reality into the realm of tabletop, the haven has an open spot for you.

We have passed by this store numerous times and never had time to stop in. Today, we saw that it…read morewas still open, and my son and daughter wanted to check it out. Boy, was I glad that we did. I am not a "gamer" and know very little about these things. My son is beginning to play and is interested in looking around. The owner was there, and he was wonderful! So friendly, personable and gave us all kinds of advice, suggestions and gave us the run-down of how the place held game nights. The place was very clean and there was a lot of pride in how he cared for the store. We are already looking at our schedules so that my son can attend a night where they teach you how to play a new game. Thankful that we stopped in and now looking forward to becoming regular customers.

I've shopped here less than a handful of times this past year. The last two times, the manager is…read moreto the right of the only 2 registers open, chatting with an employee. There's are only 2 registers open. 15 people in each one. People are walking in, and turning around walking out. There's a lot of employees putting out product. 3 carts full of unsold merchandise that people discarded at the registers and left. I added mine to them. Terrible customer service. I went to Michael's in and out in 10 min, am employees helped me find what I wanted and said "thanks for coming in". Hobby lobby can pay someone to put my stuff back instead of checking me out. I almost posted a pic.

Stopped in today for the first time, and met the owner. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable…read more They have all kinds of hobby stuff, but most importantly they have Model railroad products! Which, there are no other local shops. His prices are right where they should be, and they have a ton of various model paints and scenery products! Will definitely be returning as I progress in the hobby!

Ok inventory, but we weren't "red" enough to be greeted, or even acknowledged. We were there for…read moreprobably 20 minutes looking around, and non of the employees even said "hi" to us. There was a lot of chit-chatting about Trump, so apparently you can only shop there if you are a Trump supporter. Will not be going back.

Chasing childhood. I entered this place looking HO scaled trains. The store is more slot cars…read moreand a handful of trains and models. I miss the stores of old filled with models,trains, cars, and rockets. The owner was in the store and was more than happy to reminisce with me about our childhoods. Also, at a time when the store was full of of hobby items. So why five stars? I'm not sure about anyone else but for me service is key. This is one of those places where even though he wasn't going to make a sale he treated me like I was purchasing a million dollars with of gear. So at the end of the conversation i asked if I could come back and hang out and he said I could. So on my way out of the door I was informed that he could order anything I want and he will work with me on pricing. Really I'm buying local just for the customer service.
