Honestly, Olympic Cards & Comics is one of the best places to go for any of your nerdy needs. They have a large selection of table-top games, figurines, statuettes, comics, trading cards, board games and much much more! Also they have a game room upstairs typically reserved for Magic: The Gathering events but Id say to ask if its open for more than just Magic. If you or a loved one are in the market for anything pop-culture, this is definitely the place to look!
This place has anything you would need for many different types of gaming, all sorts of different comics, and theyre happy to order something for you if they dont have it. It feels like a family even from the first time you walk in. Gabi is a pillar of the community, donates food, haircuts, and school supplies to anyone who needs them, and does everything she can to make the store welcoming and accessible to everyone. This store is amazing, Gabi and all the employees are amazing, and you should absolutely shop here.
I have lived in Olympia for 5 years already, but I just know about this store. The place have good environment which is selling cool stuffs, especially trading card games. The staffs are very friendly and helpful, always help the customers. Willing to visit again soon.
Went in to have my Pokémon collection appraised, at the time I didn’t know what I had and I think they knew that. Told me I’d be lucky to get $400 for the entire collection. I then did my own research and looked up market value of every card. I recently sold 3 cards for $600. It’s a good thing I didn’t listen to them. All I have to say is they are uneducated on the Pokémon market right now. I also looked at the reviews recently and felt the same as other customers, I felt unappreciated.Do your own research before asking them.
Fantastic comic, board game and trading card game(magic the gathering/Pokemon/other) store! Friendly staff who are super helpful. Absolutely worth checking out for any/all your nerd needs!
Have you met Gabi? She and her staff are some of the best in the area. Not only do they know anything and everything about all games and Pops and comics but they are experts on helping you discover new interests.Years ago Gabi took time out of her day to help me make a custom pregnancy announcement for my husband. Our hearts are still grateful for her helping like she did.They also have an assistance programs for families who need help, and when the pandemic hit they rolled up their sleeves and dived in to help the community.If you have a love of all things geek related, pop on by. You wont be disappointed.
Gabis is a great store. Great customer service. And a fantastic community pillar.
Gabi and staff are simply the best! They treat you like family and each other even closer. Its a wonderful experience just to step in the door and to have that amazing feeling while youre inside and shopping simply the Best
Gabi and her team are something special. Flexible, friendly, passionate people work here. One team member (Im sorry I didnt get her name) knew where my comics on hold were located when she overheard my name. Then she immediately mentioned to me that there was a one-off comic for my beloved Alien series that Id not otherwise ever have known about and she walked over and grabbed a copy for me when I expressed interest (Thank you! I hope you know who you are; tell Gabi Im referring to you and that youre awesome).My toddler loves this place. I appreciate the care these people take in what they do. My wife trusts Gabi for recommendations bought blind. There are some rough edges as new hires come up to speed, but Olympic Cards and Comics takes great care in customer experience. Its one of few businesses I feel relieved to enter. Many thanks to Gabi and her team for consistent, care-driven service.
Always lovely staff and lots of fun things to do and look at :)
The employees are always great and will tell you how to find what you are looking for. The supply is ever changing, but they try and keep fan favorites in stock. One of my favorite places to go!
Wow this place is incredible!! Definitely the best comic shop Ive been to ever. They have everything you could dream of for all your nerdy needs, the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, they seem to especially have more female staff than most shops as well as promoting comics and stuff for young girls which is honestly awesome and impressed me and my best friend (both of us women) and put us more at ease while browsing and checking out. Plus they had a Boys and Girls Club in while we were there and I think its really great to see a comic shop doing community outreach. Envi greeted us at the door when we came in/gave us our raffle tickets for wearing masks and checked us out and they were super kind and welcoming especially once they found out we were new to the area, it was very sweet. Cant wait to go back and bring all our equally nerdy friends with us.
Employees are always eager to help. Lots of selection there. Pricing is on point.
An Olympia gem and pillar of the community. The best there is.
My niece is turning 13 and requested anime. Now, I’m 32 and anime has never been my thing. I know nothing, I mean besides Pokémon and dragon ball Z. Which shows my knowledge.. anyways. I walked into the store and was greeted and explained my situation. The lady introduced me to a woman named Alison. She was wonderful! She didn’t judge me, which was appreciated, they were extremely hands-on, ran around looking for different things to help me make a decision. It was amazing customer service! I’m excited about my nieces birthday party and I don’t know what I would have done without them!Thank you so much for the amazing customer service at Gabi’s Olympic Cards and Comics
1st time visiting. The staff was very friendly and always asking if you need any assistance. Clean environment and practicing social distancing. My daughter had a great time and she enjoyed her visit. I would return to this location in the future.
Always a fun place to go visit. Gabbi is so knowledgeable and so is her staff. They all really love the stuff that is there!
My first card shop ever from 20 years ago now theyre across the street bigger and better than ever. The owner Gabi is an angel cant recommend high enough
The selection here is nuts! I get sucked in every time I visit and could lose hours, maybe days if it were not for someone Im with making me leave. I recommend visiting with someone who can pull you out eventually, or you might never leave.
Meals were yummy. Just wish there was more of the food. Food was more pretty looking but great customer service is what made it a good experience. very clean.
Amazing place! One of my favorite stores for years, gabby always Helps out, Im wondering if anyone has been handled having to return something?/:
Friendliest staff ever, knowledgeable and helpful. Excellent selection with something for everyone no matter the fandom, regular events and games nights, plus an owner who is actively investing in the health and welfare of the folks in her community. There is no better FLGS anywhere.
Good vibes.It’s not just because I was greeted at the door by London with hand sanitizer or because Everyone I encountered there are made me feel giddy with glee.I like this place because they have a great layout, an awesome selection, easy parking, and an amazing team. Seriously though whenever you are in the area you should go.Thank you for helping me find my blue lantern intro andTo know that I’m not alone in crying (they didn’t say they cried but come on ) about how Samurai Jack ended.To know that someone else knows who Moon Girl is made me hug myself.If I lived in this town I’d have to work at this place
I recently visited the store and I was really impressed with their inventory of comic books etc. I have to admit that there were some aspects that were not so impressive. In the back they have boxes and boxes of comics, however they are poorly labeled and crammed so tightly that I was afraid to go through them, worried that I would damage them. They do not have anywhere to safely put the boxes and thus look through them. I asked an employee how they were priced and she said that you have to bring them up to the cashier and get priced there. Also many of the comic books were not bagged and boarded, so they were vulnerable to tears and bending.Like I said the quantity of comic books was immense, but the ease of discovery was disappointing. The fact that the boxes were crammed so tightly makes me wonder about their interest or love of comic books, just saying.
This place does not keep their comics organized, and everything is just crammed in boxes with no bags or boards. If you do manage to find anything forth while, expect to have everything repriced at the register for your trouble. Also, expect the prices to be checked and rechecked if they swap out employees on you which is likely to happen. Seriously, this place can rot.PS If you want to make a run on this shop, then only look for things that have spiked in price and dropped. You are welcome.To the shop owner, you ran off a customer who was holding $80 in board games over a few bucks on comics.
Excellent selection and customer service. Everyone was masked and hand sanitizer was distributed at the door. Highly recommend.
5 Stars because Gabi is awesome and this is a great shop to visit. There is a Great selection of comics, Pops and statues. I cant wait to come back! Good Vibes here
I went for some cards, they had a big selection of stuff ranging from dice to card sleeves, etc. Helpful staff too.
A great store my family are all returning customers we fondly call it the nerd store!!
Awesome as always. Went it to buy a gift for my son (outside of my typical gaming genere), and the staff (and customers) were super helpful! Great selection of games, figures, comics, books,, and supplies across many genres.
They have all kinds of comics and trading cards which are market prise or below which is amazing and just the cherry om top the staff is absolutely amazing and are very nice! Highly recommended
I been a gamer since I was a kid and Ive worked in the gaming industry for a while and Ive seen a LOT of game stores. Olympic Cards and Comics is one of the absolute best Ive come across. Amazing store, amazing staff and an amazing owner that truly do make a difference in their community on multiple levels.
Great store! The amount of inventory is overwhelming! The staff was extremely helpful and easy to find. The owner greeted us at the door. Well definitely be back.
Great variety and friendly service. If they dont have you want, they will get it for you.
This is one of the best comic book stores in Washington I’ve ever been to. The owner, Gabi is very friendly and personable. Prices are usually always fair. Alison is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I tell everyone I meet to check this shop out.
Will drive hours out of my way to visit. They have great staff and a great selection of manga and dnd additives
Ive been going to (Gabis) Olympic Cards & Comics for almost 10 years now and cant find a single negative moment Ive experienced after walking through those doors. The staff will always do their best to personally greet you and make you feel a part of the family that Gabi has created. Will continue to come here (at least once a week) for the foreseeable future. Thank you for all the memories and new friends Ive met along the way.
Have had a decent experience with the night crew, called today to ask about the stock of cards. While I was being assisted by someone on the phone on of his co workers was in the background laughing at the fact their was little to none left and that it wouldn’t be there when I got in, dude on the phone was pleasant. The other gentleman, I hope he learns better manners.
If youre an Oly nerd or simply nerd-curious you probably already know this place. Gabi gives so much of herself to the community and customer service is always great.
Great comic and game store ... tons of selection. Sadly did not have anything I was looking for, but only because I was traveling and I did not want to carry 50 pounds of merchandise home.
This is my go to Comic shop. Their arent enough positive things I could say about Gabi and all she does for the comic lovers of our community. Thank you to the INCREDIBLE staff as well! See ya Wednesday!
Absolutely beautiful! This whole shop is fascinating and well put together. Despite not finding either item I was searching for, I found about 5 other things that I bought anyway. My only issue at all there was that a locked up statuette I loved didnt have a price tag, but that wouldnt be a problem if I could remember how to ask for help. On another note, the staff are pleasant and nice, even if you make ditzy bimbo comments like me.
Lots of Funko Pop figures (Im a collector!!) Great variety. They can order comic books you are looking for
This is the coolest place to just go and browse. Tons of comics and books and statues. Friendliest staff and the owner Gabi is amazing.
Amazing staff, great games, great comics, always a pleasure to stop by
Always a great place to go and shop. A very wide selection of boardgames, paints and minis.
Amazing hands on exp love gabby.have gone for years will continue to do so.
Had an amazing experience from the moment I stepped through the door. The staff was efficient and helpful for both myself and my daughter.
I am not nerdy enough to fully appreciate how awesome this store is, but my son and his dad were in heaven. The staff were really helpful and friendly.
The staff were incredibly helpful and welcoming. In a store so large with such vast assortment of tabletop board and card games, I really appreciated them helping me locate the exact items I was looking to purchase for my friends birthday.
This has been my home away from home since I was in high-school. They treat you like family here and Gabi is awesome!
Nice, clean and helpful. A bubbly woman named Sasha helped me find the game I was looking for and when she didnt know about an older comic I was looking for she pleasantly introduced me to a kind man named Warren who knew exactly what I was talking about. The staff here really makes it well worth the extra drive to spend my money here.
I got my first set of metal dice here! I look forward to starting my mini colection here too. Very nice selection of dice in a range of prices, as well as lots of figurines, comics, and paints!
Alison with one L was fantastic and very patient today as my gf and I looked through key issues. Gabis is always welcoming and friendly. There are plenty of staff who always makes sure youre attended to. Gabi is never too busy to stop and chat. They are also dog friendly, and the bag and board new comics after purchase. Something alot of other shops dont do.
This place is huge! Lots of comics of course, the figures in the cases were super cool to look at, pokemon, magic, and Yu-Gi-Oh cards too! staff in every single area asking if we were doing ok it seemed. Being from out of town, my wife and I dont mind being asked multiple times, as we might have a question 30 seconds later on something we saw. I really appreciated the multiple areas to checkout. I bought some Pokemon cards and we enjoyed visiting!
The customer service here is just fantastic! They have been so helpful to my husband everytime he checks in about Pokemon cards. They also have a huge selection of games and books. Weve gotten a few superhero kids books that we read every night to our kiddo. I love coming here and have been telling all of our friends and family to come. It is a hidden gem of Olympia!
Amazing selection and fun owner and employees (who love Tes). Awesome place. Play live games too.
Gabi and her staff are truly one of the blessings Olympia has to offer. Her contribution to the community and those in need over the past decade, even longer has incredible. A safe place for any student, adult or kiddo to feel comfortable in, regardless of their lifestyle. Snacks and drinks and all kinds of games soooooo many you can’t even imagine. You could spend hours here and still look through stuff.
Super good and helpful people. Do wish there were a lot more hot toys but it’s fine
Took my son there for the first time today and he was not disappointed, and purchased some really neat dice
They do an awesome job to keep you safe and the variety and selection is outstanding definitely a top notch store!!
I went there for the first time yesterday 1/30/21. What can I say... I’m impressed. Olympic cards and comics, you have peaked my interest!!! I’ve never been one who has been into comics but I’ve recently have the desire to get into comic books for a variety of reasons and in all honesty, idk what other shops are like but this one HAS to be up there as one of the best around this area. Greeted at the door by the owner Gabi and she was an amazing help! I told her it was my first time in and she immediately set me up with someone(who I already forgot the name but it started with an L, sorry:/) and he was an awesome help in explaining every little detail, giving me suggestions and showing me around the store. Everybody on the staff is extremely friendly and helpful and I will DEFINITELY be going back to continue my new comic book collection. BEST PART- with me being new they didn’t look at me like I was crazy asking a bunch of questions, they actually wanted to hear these questions and give their best input. Olympic cards and comics is amazing! Hands down one of the best experiences I’ve ever had in a collectors shop!!!
The staff here is always incredibly professional and friendly. Gabi has a variety of comics, books, toys, collectibles and cards for customers of all ages and interests. They give so much back to the community and our children. Thanks for being our go to place for our familys card collection.
Has plenty of board and card games. Gaming area upstairs. They also have comics, manga, books, statues, etc. If there is something they dont have, they will do their best to find and bring it in for you.
Love this place! Staff are always pleasant and knowledgeable
Amazing place with a great selection and the best staff. Will 100% be going back for my nerdy needs!
Ive been shopping with Gabi for over 25 years. Always a fantastic experience. Friendly knowledgeable staff and a great deal of community involvement. I cannot recommend it enough.
We went to trade in some cards, at first everyone was great, we looked around and didnt know what to do and went back to the mtg counter, the guy sorting cards the counter made me feel a bit awkward like he was annoyed (sorry) but the girl was fairly helpful, we traded for store credit towards a booster box mtg. Didnt expect the regular one to be yellow tagged, but we payed for the other booster box for more money it was decent. (However someone that didnt have the extra money wouldnt have been able to get a whole booster box, just a warning it is more expensive because they gotta pay for the building yall.) Overall it was alright, just a lot of ppl as well.
The best place to get games and comics. The staff are great. If you have any questions about anything nerdy or geeky someone there will know the answer
Great family comic and game store. Very well run events.
Occ is always such a warm and friendly place. The staff are super helpful and gabby is so sweet.The selection is always massive and occ is just such a fun place to be
I love this place, their boardgame selection is so good its criminal, if theres anything involving comics, games, or tabletop you will find it here. I could go on and on, but really of you have any interest in the above just pop in and have a look.
Informative and friendly staff! They dont hover but are quick to help out the second you need it. Sanitary as well, sprayed our hands upon entering the building! Lots to look at, plan to spend a bit of time looking at everything
Twice as large as any comic store I ever went to a whole bunch of cool merch and honestly you couldnt ask for a more friendly work staff
This is a wonderful place full of kind helpful employees and everything my little nerd heart could want. Pre-COVID I have done MTG prerelease events and other tournaments there. I felt completely welcomed and accepted as a woman that doesnt fit the nerd or geek look. Gabi and her staff dont tolerate any gate keeping and makes sure others follow suit. The whole staff is also very conscious of respect and inclusiveness for all. They have a huge selection and I find something new every time I go in.
Great place for all sorft of board games and accessories. Good collection of comics and Mangas.Offers game tables for RPG adventures such as Warhammer 40k, Pathfinder, Dungeons & Dragons, and a lot more!
Love this place, Gabi is so nice and it is such a cool place, great staff, great store, great service to the community too!
Great business and the owners and staff are just wonderful and nice! Great selection of comics, collectibles, board games and other items. This place feels like home.
Expansive and comprehensive card and game store! A must-visit for those who like board games and TCGs
One of the coolest places I’ve been in. They have everything a comic book fan is looking for. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable on what they’re selling. Love this place
Ive only been in a couple of times in the past but todays experience will likely be the last. I came in to look for a gift with my son and was not greeted by a hello or anything. Just a bold Do you have your mask? by a woman walking straight to 2 feet in front of me, then trying to force me to use their hand sanitizer (I have no issues with masks or hand sanitizer, but the approach was rude). After she wanted to know what I was looking for, we were lead to a guy at the trading cards. After we picked what we wanted, he walked us directly up to the front to ring us up. Forget that we would have liked to look around at other things. I felt rushed and extremely unvalued as a customer.
Legitimately one of the best comic/game/nerdtopia I have ever been to! Memorabilia ranges from superhero statues to pop figures. The people who work here truly know their stuff and make shopping there an absolute pleasure. If you get a chance or need anything for a game night or need a good comic this is the place to go!
They have a pretty amazing selection of comics, graphic novels, table and board games and collectibles. Has become a go to stop for all comics related items. Relatively easy to find with ample parking.
Absolutely in love! I wish there was a few different mangas but we went there to look at the board games. Found Catan expansions and then found starfarers Catan..... Oooooooooo we definitely bought it no question. A lot more different than regular Catan! ALSO EVERYONE that works there is super awesome and friendly. Very helpful thank you guys for existing!
Super fantastic place. Friendly staff, amazing stock, and just a wonderful space. I immediately liked their Facebook page after visiting and have noticed theyre very active in the community and supportive of their customers. I look forward to visiting again soon.
Hands down the best cic and game store around. I love the owner she is welcoming and remembers you. I have gotten several of my figures from there. In addition the selection of things is beyond any other store from Tigard OR all the way to Canada.
Dont go unless you have hours to spend combing through their massive inventory. This place is perfect for table top gamers and comic collectors, new and old. Relaxing atmosphere and super friendly staff!
Great place love the all might statues plan to buy I have bought a lot of D&D books here
Very wide selection, has a lot to offer. Very cramped.
This store has sooo much, could spend days in here getting lost. Friendly staff. Great for games, memorabilia, comics and even getting the little ones hooked on comics.
Gabby and crew will have all your comic, card, and pop culture needs.
Pre & Post COVID, I havent gone to any other LGS because this one has just about everything you need or could want!Im a big MTG and D&D guy, this store always has what Im looking for. The staff are amazing and very helpful. If youre new to Town and need a place to go/play, this is my #1 go to business.
Went there today for the first time with my daughter. We were greeted at the door by Gabi herself. We were greeted inside by Nick and many other great employees. The control and care given to ensure all current restrictions are being followed were spot on. I highly recommend shopping here!
Always the very best service. Staff is knowledgeable and very friendly. This place will make you lose track of time as you wander the treasure filled aisles making new allies along the way of your great quest to find that perfect something.
Continuing great service everytime we come in! Great prices and dang near every possible collectible you can think of!
