FYI- Spanish speaking friendly.
Parking - Limited
Store - Very clean and open.
Large selection of both singles, sealed, and card accessories (play mats, binders, deck boxes).
Some selection of dice.
Although some stores have overlap there's not much for DnD players here.
Price are standard TGC market.
They have a case of more expensive cards as well.

Visiting from out of town. Looked up some shopes in the area and found this location. After getting a reccomendation from a friend, I decided to visit. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great place for packs and singles. Mostly MTG and Pokemon singles. They also carry One Peice sealed products. I picked up a lot of singles as well as booster packs.

I visited on a Thursday before noon, there wasn't many players at that time. But I imagine they get busy after work/school hours. Plenty of tables and they have a downstairs with more tables.

I travel often for work and I get to visit many shops all over the US. These guys are top notch. I highly recommend them.

Awesome shop! Went today for the first time, incredible product selection for TCG accessories.
Good selection of Pokémon sealed product, and huge range of singles. Brought a brunch of stuff, and did a nice trade for some 151 singles I needed.

Staff (two guys) both really friendly and welcoming.

For magic the gathering: the store offered 65% on revised duals for store credit. Store space was clean, staff friendly with lots of foot traffic on a Friday afternoon. I liked the basement area which has lots of four chair tables, seems good for commander pods or tournament seating but not good for booster draft.

Awesome store, and great prices. Has a lot of tables and room! Staff is helpful and friendly to new comers. The store gets busy and I now know why. Great store will make this a place for me and my friends visit more often! Also a lot of places to park and eat when staying for a long time!

Nice store with friendly staff and a great game area, but the prices are ridiculous. They have a nice variety of cards. BUT Cards don't have prices on them,so you have to ask the employee again, again. They charge $5-$15 over market value. Also I was looking for a Pokémon Rayquaza VMAX Alt Art-expected $700-$800, but they wanted $900!!?! The card wasn’t even perfect condition. Totally overpriced. 3.7/5 stars.

My bf and I recently became interested in Pokémon cards because they’re nostalgic and really fun to open together. We journeyed 30 mins to see this store, but I had no real intention on purchasing cards for myself. Upon entering the store, I was greeted by the guy behind the register (owner). The small business owner was very kind, patient, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and passionate. His store is small and cozy, so The Card Nest is the perfect name for his retail store in Jefferson Plaza (2nd floor). There was a constant stream of people for the 20-30 mins that I was there. The location was a little hard to find because there is no big sign at the Jefferson Plaza, but the owner is responsive and picked up the phone to let me know where to go. The owner’s excellent customer service and passion for cards is what got my bf and I to spend $113 and $89 respectively, for various packs of Pokémon cards. We bought some booster packs for $3.99, some for $4.99, and booster packs that came with a mini binders (the binders hold 60 cards) for $4.99. The big boxes with the extra large display cards were $20-25 each. The build and battle boxes were $20 each. The owner’s prices are very fair. I felt like he could have easily charged more for these cards, but he told us he actively sets the prices to be lower than competitors. He also warned us about not purchasing card packs with inflated prices, since Pokémon cards have been hard to obtain because distributors can’t seem to provide and restock fast enough. Overall, a very pleasant experience. I would go again.
