Anime Island is a local family-owned anime store in the El Cerrito Plaza. The store offers a large variety of anime-related merchandise including figures, plushies, stickers, blind bags, trading cards, and a $1 comic book hallway. It is an official tournament store for several card games like Yu-Gi-Oh!, Magic: The Gathering, One Piece, Gundam, and UniVersus, holding regular events. Reviews highlight the very friendly and knowledgeable staff, super nice customer service, and a very friendly environment. Customers call it a great store, the best card and anime shop, and a cool place with top-tier merch where it is hard not to purchase something. Many highly recommend visiting.
Went in looking for Pokémon Perfect Order, they had very low stock left, so only 1 item per person. I bought a booster bundle, and pulled the last 2 foil cards to complete the base set on Perfect Order. Price was the cheapest I've found as well, $30.
We’ve been coming to Anime Island for a couple years and it has become a local favorite spot to stop by! They are very customer oriented and make an effort to cultivate player communities.
I also appreciate that their sale limits for in-demand products (like Pokemon cards) give as many people as possible an opportunity to buy and protect the access of everyday customers amid resellers.
Anime Island is the best! Staff is super friendly and the owners are amazing! When they first opened I was so excited for an anime shop near me. Love everything they sell and I can get nick-nacks for all my anime loving friends!
