View allAlchemist's Refuge
Alchemist's Refuge is a card-focused store with a strong selection of singles, packs, and slabs for Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon, including Japanese Pokémon packs. They have a few D&D books but are not a general tabletop gaming store. The staff and owner are frequently praised as friendly, personable, and helpful. The store hosts fun events and has a decent play area. Trade-in rates are considered fair by some, but one reviewer felt offered only 60% market value and sensed suspicion. A major criticism is that new product pricing can be at scalper/reseller levels even on release day, which one reviewer deemed unethical. The atmosphere is welcoming and clean, with kind patrons. A notable non-card item mentioned is Labubu toys.

Are U Game is a highly recommended store with a friendly, knowledgeable owner.
