    Super friendly staff and a great local toy shop for the community. I was just browsing around and the staff made me feel welcome and there was no pressure to buy anything. They have a lot of children's toys for your young ones. I was looking for some Lego sets, they didn't have them, but this shop was definitely worth checking out. I wish them all the best!

    I like this little store. Very small and quaint but you can find a kind of stuff that you want. They have kids toys games hot wheels everything that you needed. And the service was great as well of course this is a small store but if you can't find it in a bigger store can find it I like this place. I found a Heartwell that I have been looking for for quite some time in the store.

    Great place, the coast side needs more comics and card stores! Glad one is still hanging aroundread more

    I was in the area recently and decided to stop by because I wanted to support a local business. My…read moredaughter loves Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon cards, and I'm a big comic book fan, so I was excited to check out a local shop that seemed like it could be a place we would enjoy visiting. Unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. When we walked in, we were greeted by a young man working there. I asked him a simple question: "Do you know when Batman Day is?" I asked because I'm a longtime Batman fan and was genuinely interested in upcoming Batman releases. (This conversation is going on with my 12yr old daughter was browsing near by) His response was essentially, "How would I know?" I explained that I was asking because I'm a Batman fan, and that I understood Batman Day is associated with the release of new Batman comics, "Batman of Two Worlds." Instead of having a conversation with a customer who was clearly interested in comics, he responded by saying that he wouldn't know because "nobody gives a shit about DC." I was honestly taken aback. First, I had just told him that I was a Batman fan. Second, this is a comic and trading-card store. If a customer walks in and asks about a major comic-related event or an upcoming Batman release, I would expect at least some basic knowledge or, at the very least, a willingness to help find the answer. What bothered me most wasn't simply that he didn't know the answer. Nobody can know everything. It was the dismissive and disrespectful attitude toward a paying customer who was genuinely interested in the products the store sells. Even if DC isn't personally his favorite, there was absolutely no reason to tell a customer that "nobody gives a shit about DC" especially in front of a 12yr child. Comments like that can make someone feel unwelcome, especially when they're coming into a local business specifically because they want to support it. I also don't know whether this person was the owner or an employee, but either way, the interaction left a very poor impression of the business. If you work in retail especially a specialty shop built around people's hobbies and passions customer service and enthusiasm should be a big part of the experience. You don't have to like every character, publisher, or product, but you should respect the customers who do. I came in thinking this could be a place where I could shop with my daughter, look at Pokémon and Magic cards, browse comics, and potentially become a regular customer. Instead, I walked out wondering why I should support a business where the person behind the counter seems so dismissive of the very customers they're trying to attract. I genuinely hope this was an isolated interaction and that the owner takes this kind of feedback seriously. Local businesses deserve support, but customers also deserve to be treated with basic courtesy and respect. If you hate your job or have no interest in the customers and products you're representing, retail probably isn't the right place for you. As we were leaving, even my 12 year-old daughter asked me why was that person so rude and that speaks volumes coming from a kid.

Upon walking in the door, I peeked to my right and saw a magazine rack selling Fangoria. Right on. Also, saw the fella' behind the register and immediately went up to him to ask where the new comics were, as it was a Wednesday. He kind of points to his right and says "It's where the sign for new comics are." I couldn't see it. There were racks in front of where I was standing and that section. I asked so I wouldn't have to wander through the game tables and other merchandise. I was looking for new comics. Thought it was a little rude, but it didn't really bother me. So I get to the new comics section. It's completely unorganized. Or maybe it was organized, but by someone with an OCD disorder that only makes sense to them. Is it that hard to have DC, Marvel, Boom, IDW etc separated nicely to look through the issues by company? It was madness. Also, the comic racks were a bit ramshackle. A lot of the books were bent, worn, and some even looked folded in half when I was looking. I wouldn't buy a six dollar comic for any reason in that kind of condition, considering they were supposed to be "brand new". I continued to look through the stuffed, unorganized shelves to find something to buy as what I was looking for was nowhere to be found. That's fine and I'll get into that in a moment, but I wasn't just/only looking for the "hot" comics right then. Image is always coming out with new number ones that look interesting, and I couldn't find anything. Seriously, I wanted to spend some money, so I'm trying to find absolutely anything. Didn't happen. So, I go back up to the register and just ask about the titles I'm looking for. Every title I ask about I get a two word answer, "Sold Out". Now, this is fair, I was there late and the fellow told me that his patrons are usually coming in around noon and buying the new books up then. Bummer for me. Seems if your stock gets eaten up that quick, you'd order a few more copies of said titles, but I don't know how to run a comic shop. Who knows? Okay, better things. It isn't really my bag, but it seemed like they had a lot of boxes of back issues. I doubt that place is going to let you grab a key issue for cheap, but it's probably worth checking out if you're trying to complete a run. So, that seemed decent. They had a shelf of trades, nothing caught my eye because I either have already read or own the ones I would be interested in, but I suppose it would be worth a look. They were all fairly older, and it didn't seem like they were discounted at all. I did not exactly peruse them to see if that was the case, just seemed that way. That's okay, though because it's far better to support an LCS than just snagging them online. I saw that they had some gaming tables, and some folks were doing just that. It's always a nice addition to a store. I didn't even head in that section, so I have no insight on cool boardgames, RPGs, or card game selection. Could be great. The sign on the outside says "Anime Imports", instead of "CoastsideComics", so maybe that's what they do and comics are just a backseat now. I don't have the option to get there early, so I could have started a pull list and waited a couple of months for that to start getting going. I'm buying about fifteen-eighteen titles a month, but I couldn't get over how they treat their shelved comics, so I decided not to. Conclusion: This is not a store for me. Not organized. About a quarter of the books look like they've been read over and over and kept in someone's back pocket. No way to pop in and get something new after one pm. Register guy was okay, but not very helpful with the slightest touch of...I dunno, it wasn't completely rude, just kind of unwelcoming to an obviously new to this store customer. I tried desperately to find something to buy, and I'm a comic guy! I would have bought anything that looked remotely interesting. Just didn't have anything. I guess that's it.

Just like every other Target store you can find some great value deals on all kind of household goods. Sadly, that does not necessarily mean you can find that store wide. As a true sign of the times, the cost of goods has gone up. Target, as a company, tries to offer, off brand products now to give the illusion that cost have not changed. Sadly, the quality of those products just aren't as good. If you don't believe me just read the reviews on those products. It speaks volumes. So be mindful of that. On the bright side. The staff here are wonderful, hard working individuals. My experiences have always been pleasant and positive. When I interact with them has always been very nice and professional. Parking can be a pain if you're going during the busy hours. So, I usually recommend going early as possible. Maybe even when the store opens at 8 AM. Overall, although I don't shop at Target as much as I used to anymore. I will always recommend this location because when I did. It has always been a pleasant experience. Let's just say, If I had to grade it. I would give it a solid B+.
