    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.

    Visiting San Francisco for the first time in 19 years, I made it a mission to find a game store…read more The closest one was about a mile away, so I walked from The Clancy in SoMa with one goal: buy the new 2024 D&D Monster Manual. That's my rule: if I step into a game or comic shop, I have to buy something. It's a hard habit to break at this point. From the outside, the store looks massive -like it might contain the multiverse. But once inside, the retail selection isn't quite as big as it appeared to be. BUT... it's got great stuff. Solid board game options. Plenty of space for RPGs and card games. It's the kind of store that's clearly built around social gatherings and play. Spacious and not cramped. A rare find in a city setting. There's an upstairs and downstairs, but those seemed more dedicated to table games you can meet up and play rather than shopping, so I didn't explore too much. The staffer working was friendly and helpful. She even checked if they had the new Monster Manual. Unfortunately, they didn't. That was a letdown. I mean, it's been out for months. If a game store doesn't carry the NEW core D&D books, especially right after a new edition drops, it stings a bit. They had plenty of the original 5e, but not the new. Still, I wasn't leaving empty-handed. Picked up a slick set of dice and the softcover Pathfinder 2E Monster Core Pocket Edition. Gotta support the cause. Overall? I'm glad I found the place. It's a real hangout spot. Honestly, throw in some coffee and comfy chairs, and I'd post up there for hours. Coffee and dice----- it just works right? Note: The 5-stars is a soft 5 because it really doesn't deserve a 4. I just wasn't floored and wowed by the place in general. 4.5 would be perfect. But a 5 it is DESPITE they didn't have what I came to get.

    Diana has curated a really awesome space for nerds, particularly those who love Warhammer, D&D, and…read moreMagic: the Gathering. This is a great gathering space to hang out and do nerd stuff. So far I've only shown up to do painting night (with a completely unrelated craft project, cuz I was accompanying my partner), and everyone I've met through the store's (very organized) Discord server has been lovely and inviting. Diana was also happy to let me know about their weekly D&D night. Only con is probably that if you're more interested in the board games side of games, there's a decent but relatively small selection compared to other game stores in the area. But I'll definitely keep coming back for the warm service and cool community.
