Stumptown Otaku

This downtown anime shop is a real treasure, with a great selection and friendly staff. The three dogs who absolutely love getting pets make the whole experience unforgettable.

5 star review

Great place and so friendly🥹 especially the dogs they're so cute, and loving. I would recommend coming in to look around.

Really cool place! Staff is super friendly and better yet, they have the cutest and friendliest three pups that roam the store!

Support Small Businesses 📢 Great variety of gifts to oggle at, helpful and friendly staff, cute dogs. What more could you need?

(please notice the lack being able to accept feedback from negative reviews) I have been numerous times and have spent a decent amount of money. However the last time I was there was one of the most disappointing experiences I've had shopping in awhile. I will say that in my past I have had some experience being profiled while shopping. I can spot it a mile away if someone things I'm suspicious. Despite me never shoplifting. It hasn't happened to me in awhile as I have gotten older. I do have a lot of tattoos and on this day I was wearing a big coat as it was cold. As a queer person though I've always figured a place with a progress pride flag flying out front that I wouldn't be judge. This day a worker was staring at me the moment I walked in. Extremely obvious. Then they went straight to me asking a lot of questions like what I was shopping for. "I'm looking for Christmas gifts" but they kept going. I then let them know I was ok and didn't need help and thanked them. I kept it brief and to the point no room to interpret that they needed to continue being a sales person. I was even wearing headphones. They just didn't stop though... Staring and always facing me while I moved... I feel more confident with this summary as the store was filled and this person just walked by everyone and focused on me. As I left they walked behind the counter to sit. Not going to anyone else to try to be a sales person I feel very confident they profiled me. Which is completely their right and I respect that despite not agreeing with it. It's just extremely disappointing and embarrassing after spending as much money as I have. It really pressed into my self esteem for the next few days and lightly depressed me. There are plenty of alternatives to this store so it's not the end of my Christmas shopping! I would encourage you to do the same too.

I had the most amazing experience at stump town otaku! The store had an amazing variety and selection (very well priced) including Pokémon (and cards), digimon, and a lot of other anime’s & figures. Prices were great! But what made my experience truly amazing was Justin! They were so so kind and made my experience truly special!! Will definitely be coming back again and bringing friends.

This is a cute gift shop that has cool, quirky items! Definitely a great shop for Japanese, anime and/or Pokémon enthusiasts! One of the staff, Jimmy, helped us with purchasing Pokémon cards. He also had three of the sweetest dogs (that he brings on the weekends) and they were so welcoming to pet them!

This store is too freaking cute! Somewhat reminds me of Kanto PokéMart in Chilliwack. I almost walked out with a Mew card and Umbreon water bottle, but refrained. I’d stop by often if I lived closer just to collect Mew items. I settled on the OMSI and Tokyo Sando stickers— completely obsessed with all the Pokemon art here! The Eevee outside is insane, I wish I owned a plush that big. Definitely a fun downtown gem and conveniently located next to a spooky custard spot.

All staff were so friendly and helpful. My toddler picked out his first Pokémon card and he found a Blues Clues funko. The shop assistant Emma was the absolute sweetest. Highly recommend stopping by ❤️
