“Has a Starbucks inside. It also has Legos, games, and toys, along with books and magazines of all genres and for all ages. Great selection of books, pretty well sorted in the store too.”
“Staff amazing! Super friendly and attentive. We love this store! They have the custom mini fig kiosk and are ALWAYs in stock! The store is always packed with people but the lines move quickly. The clearance table is hit or miss sometimes but still a nice additional option. All in all a great place for kids and grown-up kids alike!”
“Stopped for the first time on Tuesday May 28th. Spoke to Andy, the manager and owner. Great comic shop! An excellent selection of current comics, back issues, and trades. Plus their selection of toys and action figures was really good! I found two trades that were tough to find for me. Andy asked me if it was my first visit. I replied yes and ended up receiving a very nice gift/ thank you bag! Looking forward to my next trip!!”
“We have been visiting this store since their Ellicott City days. My kids enjoy looking around at all the toys. One of their favorite areas is the open Lego table and the create your own characters. There is something here for everyone! The employees are nice and easy to talk with. Will continue coming back!”
“The selection here is amazing, almost overwhelming. There is soo much. Yet the owner was welcoming, knowledgeable and had the requested items there, on site. It was definitely worth the drive for me.”
“BAM is a spacious area with a variety of items from pop figures, to books and manga along with other various items. Not too long ago I actually bought a pop figure which is going for much more than I originally bought it for. I really enjoyed this place and the workers are very kind, but don't forget to bring a bag because sometimes they run out (at least that was the case when I went).”
“I did not realize it was a book a million when I was there. Sign reading bam. Went in there yesterday to look around and found something I wanted right away. While looking I could hear a customer at the register being a bit loud, which caught my attention, and I was waiting to get my item rung up. Listening from my perspective the customer was being quite rude to the employee, and I observed the cashier maintain a calm, professional demeanor the entire time. Doing all they could to help the customer. The nastier the customer seemed to be, the nicer and more friendly the cashier became. I was so surprised I wanted to give the store top notch feed back”
“These two workers Sloan and Hannah were the absolute kindest people I met at the shop, they made me feel welcomed and were super kind in helping me make and fix my plushie! Absolute sweethearts!! Will definitely be coming back! :))”
“I'm a big fan of Barnes and Nobles and love bookstores in general. My only issue with this location is no coffee shop. They do have a few spots where you can sit and read, but if you want to stretch out with a laptop and an iced mocha like I do, you need to buy your book here and then go a few doors down to Starbucks. So not a one stop shop like I am used to from the midwest.Otherwise they are a clean and well stocked store. I hope the internet doesn't kill this chain as well. I tend to buy from bookstores and happily pay more then online just for the presence of store where I can truly browse and get surprised by titles I would have never seen online.”
“Cute little Japanese type store. I love to see all the cute little things they sell from stationary products to lunch boxes you'll find it all at reasonable prices”
“There are some bargains! But beware...I bought some vitamins and realized after getting home that someone had broken the tamper-proof seal and eaten some. I'm sure Ollie's will make it right but now I gotta drive back. You're going to need to inspect your goods more than at a normal grocery store.”
“Blown away!!At the quality of character and just how knowledgeable and well mannered the employee was at this store!!She was able to not only answer every question I had surrounding games and platforms but was also able to personalize it for my specific benefit!!How often does a brilliant employee at a retail store make you feel important?Very grateful and if all retail experiences were this good who knows???”

8261 Gateway Overlook Dr, Elkridge“It’s a nice big store, they are abundantly well stocked. Everything is placed properly. I love the vinyl figurines here. They have less selection here.
Art & craft, beauty section is great! Toys section is okay, have seen wide selections at other five below stores.
Staff is very polite and helpful. Great candy stock!
There’s plenty of parking, it’s close to Aldi & Lowe’s!”

8775-9 Centre Park Dr, Columbia“The experience over all was great and I found a good quality hammer that I really enjoy. There is also an employee named Jake that was absolutely amazing. He was very professional in addition to being friendly and adept. He actually saved me and my siblings from a burning building back in 2009 and I have never forgotten his heroism. He is the perfect man and quite frankly, I would marry him if he wasn't constantly surrounded by beautiful suitors and scouts for D1 athletic agencies. Over all my experience was outstanding, all in part to Jake, the light of my life.”
“We took a detour into here on our way to another store inside the mall. They have a ton of board games inside. That's what I was really impressed with. Every variation you could think of they have. They even had niche types. Such as Jurassic Parks tribal game. The store recently transferred to a new owner/management and they have some big changes. The plan seems to turn it into a true toy store. The employee make it feel like a local hometown type store. It's definitely worth a visit. Especially in a few weeks when they undergo the changes. If you are looking for games or the mini figure collectibles or kinetic sand. It just a neat little store that seems to be getting its footing. You also can't beat that it's locally owned!”
“Very knowledgeable about games, release dates, consoles, and pretty much any other question you would have about gaming in general. Friendly staff is a bonus when you come here too.”
“Excellent variety, great customer service, and good prices. I love coming into the store because I always discover something new and fun. The staff has always been knowledgeable and friendly, and they make great suggestions for other products if they don’t have exactly what you are looking for. My only suggestion is that I would love the Funco wall to be a bit smaller to make room for other product, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the Pop figures are profitable enough to warrant the shelf space.”

“Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. They know their games well and make you feel welcome. Great play space in the back. Decent selection of games and gaming material.”
