    Mega upgrade from their previous locations. Very spacious, lot’s of video games and stuff to purchase. Had fun browsing around and trying some arcades. This location has 12 gaming stations and people were having a blast in their monthly smash bros tournament. Very lively vibe. The staff is super friendly and will answer all your questions. Looking forward to more events and the coffee shop! This will be a great place to hang out!

    Wonderful “hole in the wall” that offers a lot of blasts from the past. I come here whenever I need to find something GameStop does not offer anymore. They know this so prices can be a bit “high,” at times. But if they don’t have it employees are able to offer help, whether recommending or reaching out. I have never played in their arcade but it looks lowkey and chill, not bad deals. They also have a little coffee shop and some crane games, 10/10 on vibes.

    What a great place. Great privately owned gamer den. I could go by myself or with my whole family. Lots of gaming consoles and arcades to play for kids and adults of all ages and it was very reasonably priced. Exactly what you need if you want the whole family to have fun and not spend over a hundred of dollars at a Round1 or Peter Piper. Played for two hours with the whole family and it was well under $100 including some drinks.

    Went in less than an hour before closing for the arcade, so he gave us a discount when we paid. It was very fun, and definitely worth the money, even just for 45 mins. Also, the game selection was great, both to play and for the store section. Apparently they BUILT a cabinet. It was the best one to play with my gf

    Very cool place. It's actually full of real consoles connected to big monitors. I don't think I've ever seen this concept. The variety is extensive so you will have a good time!

    Visited this place for the first time today, and was very impressed with the customer service. We had lots of questions, and Chris was super patient, knowledgeable, and very honest - we didn't need to worry at all about him trying to upsell anything. The store is very clean and inviting, and would love to visit again when the cute little coffee shop is open! There is also an arcade inside that you can pay by the hour to use. Chris also told us about the birthday parties they host, and we are going to consider that for the future. Will definitely make this our stop for trade ins and purchasing

    This is a new spot that opened up and I’ve got to say that this has a very unique charm compared to other retro stores in the valley! They have a vast selection of retro to modern games that are organized and spaced out well. Welcoming customer service that gave me a fair deal on a trade I brought in. But the winner for me was the arcade play area in the back that had some absolutely banger titles. I will be coming back to further build my collection!
