Gold & Glory Gaming

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. It offers a wide selection of retro and modern video games, consoles, card games like Magic: The Gathering and Pokémon, comics, action figures, niche books, movies, and role-playing games. The store has plenty of play space and is praised for its great atmosphere and fair pricing.

Bell, Book & Comic is a local game and comic store with a strong focus on trading cards (especially Magic: The Gathering) and comics. Reviews are mixed: many praise the knowledgeable, friendly staff, well-organized bulk cards, smooth events, and fair prices, while one reviewer reports a very negative experience with rude staff, an unwelcoming atmosphere, overpriced new comics, and a bad smell. The store also carries board games, figures, collectibles, and accessories, but has a limited manga selection.
