I even had family members--who had never stepped foot inside a comic book or card shop--go in to pick up my orders, and Dustin made them feel completely welcome every single time. After my surgery, each time I stopped by, he'd celebrate my recovery, show genuine kindness, and always encourage me. I went from walking in with a cane, barely able to stand, to coming in regularly just to hang out, talk cards, and enjoy the atmosphere. This place isn't just a store--it's a community. Dustin and the team make you feel like family. I can't recommend them enough!

We'll usually go in and window shop and she has a blast looking at all the cool stuff. Today was like another of those experiences but with an extra very refreshing cherry on top. Sarah who worked here, was absolutely fantastic. From entering the store and welcoming us with a warm greeting and asking us if we need assistance to the gold standard checkout experience. We love coming here for the amazing products and nostalgic items as well as the amazing selection and atmosphere. Everything is very fairly priced and valued really well. I always enjoy coming here for my daughter and for my own interest. I hope this store stays here at the Sherman Oaks Fashion Square mall for years to come and it's highly recommended for all. Thanks Sarah and Mind Games!

We absolutely love this store…read more Anytime we're at the mall we always make sure that we stop in. We're a big board game and puzzle family and this is the best store for both of those things in the San Fernando Valley that I'm aware of. It is located inside the mall so be aware of that. They have a good selection of games, they have a really excellent selection of puzzles. I'm sure this is driven by what sells for them but they have way too many Funko pop figures for me. That's not my thing, and it takes up a lot of space in the store. But I'm sure they sell a lot of them. They also have some great toys, although not a great selection of them. Everyone here who works here is friendly and helpful. We've never had any issues there. I will say their recommendations are not always great. The main thing that does bring this store down a little bit is just how expensive some of the things can be. It's pretty often that you can find the same item for less money on Amazon. I know that makes me sound heartless, and I love supporting shops like this, but sometimes the price difference is very considerable. But overall it's a great store, definitely check it out.

We stopped by after work so the rush hour was a bit crazy but made it in time before they closed! We had to loop around since they don't have a designated parking lot and all the street parking was basically full. Managed to find a spot about a block away and not bad of a walk at all. We were mainly here for the Baldur's Gate 3 blind bags for the beautiful oversized d20's but checked out all the other cool stuff they have here! I believe the owner is Mandie and she was super sweet and had great energy when my bf and I dropped by! We managed to pull a Rare (Mizora) and a Rare (Halsin) which was really cool from just buying two packs. They have other cool merch like pokemon, final fantasy, dnd, and even some anime stuff. Highly recommend checking this shop out and supporting local businesses! Great place to buy a gift for anyone. Prices are a bit more than retail but nothing too crazy. Looks like they also have events like card games and art showcases. I know they recently had a Baldur's gate 3 signing which is amazing! Looking forward to dropping by again! IG: @ammysalamii

My niece is totally in love with these figures so I wanted to see what they had here. The staff are wonderful, the moment I walked inside I had 2 different workers asked if I needed any help. I told them I was just browsing, so left me alone. This store isn't that big inside but they have a lot of different figures. The prices will vary with what item you want. I saw some avengers figures that looks cool. I also saw the labubu collectibles but I didn't purchase anything.

I came back inside and asked if having togo food in a bag is fine and the lady working said it was. I went straight to the back of the store and looked at their Dragonball Z figures. The lady working said if I needed any help, just ask her. I didn't end up buying anything but I walked around the store to see what they have. They had some Mario stuff and other characters as well. They also have this little coin dispenser game where it will dispense a little toy if you put in some coins.

They have a vast selection of books from fiction to non-fiction, bibles, covers of bibles, cookbooks, celebrity books, autobiography, trend magazines along with other magazines.. wall to wall all the way in the back. They have a big selection of children's books too. Prices vary depending what you buy. They used to sell CD's too. Have bought few in the past. They have a little corner when you walk in to your right that sell gifts, knick knack stuff that are practical, beautiful, and unique. I have purchased few in the past. Walked in yesterday and got a warm, friendly hello from couple of their employees. They were eager to help me and see what I was looking for. I needed a few cookbooks, couple of celebrity books that always captures my attention and I was lucky enough that they had what I was looking for. If they don't have it, they will order it for you. Once it arrives, you will get an email, a text or a phone call from them to go and pick it up. Don't forget to use your 10% discount at the front. You have to be a member of the store. Store is BIG, clean, nicely organized alphabetically according to what you are looking for. All aisles are easy to navigate and it's pretty quiet in there which I love. They even have few armchairs to sit down and read a book. Great store..hands down!! Parking in the back shared with few other businesses. One gender neutral restroom and it is ALWAYS clean. Have used it few times. Thank you Barnes & Noble, all employees for your loyalty, dedication and always being kind and willing to help. Appreciated.

Got me some children's books and a non-fiction book, kind of a reading challenge as I'm sadly very occupied with my smartphone. And it's refreshing to see a whole wall of magazines. Every month, if you buy a children's book, you can buy a featured, popular kids' book for $9.99. I took advantage and love the amusing, heavily discounted "Mother Bruce". Many gift options as well- LP's, Legos, journals, mugs, candles, puzzles and stuffed animals, though they are overpriced. The store is in what looks like a converted theater. A big plus is the huge parking lot in the back, for the whole block. Really appreciate having a large, clean brick and mortar bookstore to immerse yourself in.
