Geeky Teas & Games - Burbank, California

Wow, this is such a cool place. I am not a gamer, but I can appreciate gaming and all of its nuances, and this is a very special space---it's affordable. It's accessible. There is tons of parking. The vibes are good--this is the type of place that keeps vulnerable people safe. My husband and I organized a day of gaming and a dinner for our good friend's birthday; he and his wife are avid gamers. We drove up from Orange County and we are really glad that we were able to spend quality time here. It's such a cool and welcoming store, the staff were all so kind and sweet and helpful, and the game rooms are fantastic. I really think that anyone who wants to game should check it out. Five dollars gets anyone daylong access to a huge library of games, and I love the theme rooms. I don't think I got to see all of them, but from what I did see, there was something really cute and Bridgerton themed, a cat room, a Disney room, a giant and super awesome Battletech/Warhammer space, and several others. We were a foursome, and we did not have a reservation, but that was OK, because one of the staff were able to find us room at a communal table. We spent several hours playing a variety of games, and then left to go get some dinner at Porto's nearby, and then we came back until 10:30 PM. We were surprised and delighted that our table was reserved with a sign. Over the course of many hours, we bought snacks, candles, tea, and ended up purchasing a couple of games. We loved seeing Mr. President wander around, and the closed off/private area for kitties waiting to be adopted was super precious. We saw folks from all backgrounds here, enjoying themselves. I don't believe the owners were there that day. But, they have done a marvelous job at creating an amazing place. It was gorgeous. It was clean, it was inclusive. We look forward to coming back, we hope that maybe there are plans for a coffee shop or café or something next door.

This is the best game store I have ever been in! It is HUGE. They have several private rooms with different themes, a huge play area for warhammer-esque games and a separate room that connects to it for painting your miniatures, 2 large rooms for playing tabletop games with the option to borrow games as well, and lastly the main store room with their products for sale.

Everything was well dusted and organized, with even more artwork to view.

Mr. President a tuxedo cat has free reign of the place and is the cherry on top of the best game store I have ever entered.

The best game store in the world! The friendly and knowledgeable staff has helped us many times find the perfect game for ourselves and others. We’re so excited about and happy with the new space. So much room for tables and gaming! The showroom is always well-stocked with a wide variety of games for groups of all sizes, interests, and skill levels. So grateful Geeky Teas is our local spot. We look forward to coming back over and over for years to come!

Crossed the country for a week to run games here. All the staff were very friendly. Mr. President and the other cats were a nice touch. I rented three of their themed rooms to GM three different games. My players all had a great time and the rooms added that extra touch. A very enjoyable gaming shop.

This spot is fantastic. Bought card sleeves, three board games, and rented out a room for a few hours. All very reasonably priced and the staff love what they do and are just huge fans of all geekdom.

I even came to a Pokémon prerelease event and it was so fun! I’m a beginner and new to the TCG world and everyone was so welcoming as they crushed my hastily built decks.

A great experience to be sure.

Another note. Their rewards program is actually quite robust and you can build up point very quickly. I highly recommend utilizing it if you’re planning on building out your game collection.

Be sure to say hi to Mr President (the store cat) and maybe adopt a kitty next time your there 🥰

This was really a magical place that I'm so glad to have stumbled upon during my search for the latest "Magic: The Gathering" release.

Well before entering, it's clear that you're about to be among friends. Welcomed by a life size TARDIS outside the main doors, I was already grinning before I stepped inside. But the real show starts once you walk in, and only gets better as you continue to explore the building.

I understand they're moving soon, to a larger building, so if you want to experience what I did, make your way there soon!

Once you enter, you're greeted on your left by the friendly staff behind the counter, eager to inform and aid the stream of gamers coming and going. On your right, several windows give view to a room made out to look like a medieval dungeon; the perfect spot to pray for Nat 20s as you adventure through the forgotten realms.

Continuing through, a lively noise begins to pick up as you realize how many excited gamers have come to play. Countless tables, filled with all sorts of different games, are occupied by exuberant gamers, surrounded by walls painted with fanciful murals, and decorated with a host of medieval swords and shields. Adding to the aesthetic are a host of fun obscure items, ranging from small tables arranged with gaming materials, to a life-size Dalek positioned in the center of the first floor.

"This place is great!", I commented to a man selling me a booster pack, "I love all the gaming rooms!"

"Thanks!", he replied, "Did you see the one in the back?"

My eyes widened. There was more to behold?!? True to his word, the gentleman pointed me down a hallway, where even more gamers played the hours away in a comfortable, inviting store that I can't wait to return to.

What a cool place to geek out over some games! The outside looks a bit sketch but the inside is full of fun surprises. Helpful staff, nice folks. There’s a small room for cat rescue (volunteers only, though you can see the babies through the window), there’s a nook selling specialty teas that you can sample/smell, and there are private rooms and tables you can reserve to play DnD campaigns or the likes. Place is packed to the brim with all sorts of board games and supplies to paint miniatures. If you pay the $5 fee you can go into a separate area to play whatever games are stocked on the shelves, and there are plenty! Great fun for all ages, am definitely coming back with a larger group next time.

Lovely shop! Had a good selection of Battletech boxes, although no scheduled play.
There were kitties! One was free roaming with a toy, while most were in a small side room.
I'd visit again.
