  This is my favorite shop in Oakland. I can't recommend it enough. The staff and owner are super-friendly, knowledgeable, and are always ready to help out whenever I have questions, and are super sincere when it comes to talking about comics. The selection is fantastic, and the organization makes the store easy to shop. I look forward to stopping in for my new issues every week.

  I’ve called nearly a dozen local comic shops “home” over fifteen years and Cape & Cowl is by far an away the best. Amazing staff, great selection, and a community-mindedness that makes them an integral part of our Oakland community. We’re so lucky to have them.

  Im sure the physical store is great but their online shop is absolutely abysmal and I’ve never had a worst experience ordering from anywhere in my life. Incredibly slow, unresponsive, and clunky. I had to log in over 10+ times and resubmit my shipping address which was entirely correct the same amount of times, by the time that was done, the book I wanted was out of stock, didn’t even order anything and just gave up.

  I was impressed with the quality of this place. I'm a regular at a different location in a different part of town but these guys are fantastic. Amazing selection, really well arranged store. They have comics exclusive to the store and a section for local creators, there are comics created by local children for sale here :-) Some board games in the back. A robust kids and young adult section as well. Street parking available shouldn't be that bad.

  Well organized and approachable with friendly and helpful staff. I'm not all that familiar with comics. The staff helped me find something in my price range that I might like based on the few comics I've read in the past. Will definitely return.

  Somewhat shady area and may be hard to find parking but excellent comic selection and friendly, helpful staff. Was good to see so many customers supporting a local comic book store on a Monday afternoon.

  Tucked quietly in a desert of nerdom, culture and creative media. Cape n Cowl is a much loved oasis for the geek, nerd, punk, artist and child in all of us alike!! After one visit to this location I was again addicted to storyboarded page. 10 out of 10! Highly recommend !! Great knowledgeable staff, kind atmosphere and very little neck beard...
