Jake's Hallmark The Cable Place

Closed during service hours without signage. I was really excited to visit this as it was No. 1 on yelp for what I searched for on google. Pulled in at 12:00 on Monday, closed. Hours posted online said Monday - Friday 9-5 Sunday 9-4 This was also posted in the window. Another sign in the window was posted "We will be closing at 3PM Tuesdays."I am disappointed, that is all. I don't do this often, but without signage or anything about going to lunch or something would have been acceptable. But to pull up and just be closed in the middle of business hours is kinda dumb.

Shop Local!We needed this funky little connector for the speakers to our TV. It seemed simple so I ran to Target to get one. No luck. They suggested Best Buy. No luck. I was just about to order it on Amazon when I remembered this cool little shop on Menaul. I went there a while ago to recycle an old printer. I remember thinking I had never seen so many cables in one place in my life. So today I ran over there. I showed the guy the picture of the connector I needed. He said no problem, hopped up and went straight to it. Cost me a whopping four dollars. Amazing customer service and just what I needed!! Thanks for saving the day!! Please keep this place in mind next time you need to hook one thing up to another thing.

The hubs was already impressed with the service here after getting their help with an old antenna that needed repair/updating. Then when he was installing it he couldn't find a little fitting that he knew he had bought. So we went back a couple days later to replace it. The person helping him told him that someone had found the fitting on the ground outside the store & returned it to the desk. Wow....not only did we benefit from an honest customer but also an honest & reputable business. We will be using this business a lot in the future & highly recommend them.

Jake's is my local go to place for all kinds of computer etc cables. Jake is friendly and knowledgeable, sells good stuff at a fair price

Here's why this place beats out online purchases for the same items. 1. It's local. When you go in you know EXACTLY what you are getting. If it is defective, they take it back. I've made numerous online purchases that were junk or described incorrectly. It's hardly worth the lower price if you have to go through the hassle of documenting, packaging and sending back, then hoping you get your refund or keeping track of the transaction. My time is more valuable.2. They are knowledgeable and helpful in suggesting what will work and what WON'T work. On numerous occasions I've gone in and received a great work around with electronic mismatches (equipment that needed to play together but wouldn't).In the Age of Amazon, people want fast, cheap and good. Sorry, but you can only pick two. I defer to good when I can. Jake's Hallmark has been my go to for years. I'm never disappointed.

Went to the store with a easy problem. Jake was kind enough to let me know that if I did what I was planning I would fry my mother board and external hard drive. Thanks Jake for the suggestion and for saving my computers.

Awesome place has cables for most everting that NOBODY has. Jake will make find or fix it all. Don't waste your time going to the big stores he is the man !

Very nice, fast and knowledgeable... came here thinking I needed something that I didn't need, he directed me to what I actually needed and it worked perfectly!

Jake is a gem, plain and simple. When my computer USB Port started heating up and causing my hard drives to malfunction, I was recommended by a friend to stop by Jake's and tell him my story.He had me do a crude diagram of my desk layout. He was very engaged and enthusiastic and quickly got me hooked up with a StarTech 8 port Hub and some cables that would work best for my specific set-up. Though it wasn't cheap, it was not exorbitant either, and worth every penny.My experience almost felt in an odd way like the difference between buying a bespoke suit vs grabbing something off the rack at Men's Wearhouse. Jake is the bespoke suit of cables, and if it can't be bought he will custom make it in his shop very quickly. So grateful we have him here in Albuquerque! His set-up has more than paid for itself in happy hard drives with no overheating, and you can just walk over to Flying Star if you need to wait for a custom cable. A+++!!!!!

Needed a cable to connect our new HP laptop to our Century Link WiFi Router. Went to the bigger stores, but they had no idea on the type of cable that would work, and they had limited inventory on stock. Jake is extremely knowledgeable. He has hundreds of cables on stock in the store. He immediately knew what we needed and went over to a rack and secured the proper cable; and, unlike the bigger stores, he will take the time to actually talk to you and explain how these things work. Excellent customer service. William.
