Place is great and my daughter has a blast learning piano! Staff is amazing and super friendly!
This place is so great. The staff is wonderful. From Paul helping to coordinate with my busy work schedule to the snacks in the lobby, I feel valued as an individual. Maddy and La Von are so kind and helpful. Adam and Jessica are knowledgeable instructors and also enthusiastic with helping you achieving your musical dreams. The entire environment just feeds musical creativity. I feel accepted as I learn and challenged beyond what I ever dreamed could be possible. I’m so thankful that I signed up for lessons at the East Orlando School Of Music.
Great place to learn music! The teachers are professionals, and it all starts with the owner, John. I highly recommend the Avalon School & Music Center to all students in the area!
Ravon of coarse never disappoints!!! His music is contagious and his vibe is 2nd to none. He did a fantastic job!!
Ravon is an amazing performer and entertainer. He is very versatile in the music he plays and certainly knows how to play for the crowd. We have hired him twice now and he never ceases to amaze. We have told many people about him and we plan on hiring him again. Thanks for your laugh and making all of our events memorable. See you soon!!!
Amazing entertainer, and best steel drum player ever, and that’s no exaggeration! I’ll cancel my next party if Ravon can’t come.
I bought a used guitar and took it to DTM for a setup. Daniel set up the guitar exactly how I asked: low action, specific tuning, and cleaned it up very nice. Daniel also took the time to fix one of the frets that was damaged from the previous owner. I will be using DTM for all my future guitar work.
Dan has performed miracles on 3 of my guitars (so far)…
The 1st was an acoustic with some particularly annoying dead spots above the 12th fret. The 2nd was an acoustic guitar that had a broken truss rod which he *welded back together*!. Finally, something I didn’t think was going to be possible, a right to left handed conversion (on an acoustic 12 string!!)
All of them play wonderfully now. I will definitely be bringing more guitars to DTM Guitarworks.
8. Nu Lean Recordings
Address: 2712 Gray Fox Ln, Orlando, FL 32826 , Alafaya , Florida , United States
Got a super awesome demo recorded here at Nu Lean Recordings i bought 4 hours of studio time and 5 beats and the producer jimmy is super friendly and nice , Very Professional , and the music sounds amazing ! great energy ! recommend others this magnificent quality of audio production
Man I worked with Jimmy for almost a decade. Great songwriter and his production is amazing! Really dope music over there!
Rick was great to work with and I purchased an amazing White LP Custom at a fair price and received almost immediately after ordering it. I will definitely be contacting Rick and Winter Park Vintage Guitars again when I’m in the market for my next guitar!
Rick is very friendly! He drove down to me to pick up my guitar and I got a very fair price for it. Highly recommend!
Meeting and dealing with Rick was a pleasure! I bought a vintage 65’ Fender Vibroluxe. Great communication and the amp was as exactly described. The packing job was the best I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend Winter Park, Village, Guitars.
Vintage Alley Music was very helpful in guiding me in purchasing the perfect acoustic guitar for my needs. The selection of guitars they carry is immense and their staff is super knowledgeable and friendly. Highly recommended!
13. Office Depot
Address: 721 N Alafaya Trail, Orlando, FL 32828 , Alafaya , Florida , United States
The place was clean and neat… the attendant was very pleasant, attentive and helpful! Will be sure back to this place again…Also the prices are more decent than in Staples…
Wills was exceptional help form the moment I entered the store.
He was kind, professional, knowledgeable, and encouraged me to navigate my goals on my own (although he was present) which was very empowering. He was only helpful, not condescending, gentle and confident is how I describe him, oh, and very professional.
Thank you!
Ask for Hector to do your printing and rubber stamps! He’s great!
Good place to get electronics and office supplies but prices are slightly higher. They had the same item as Amazon but they did not match the price so I ended up ordering online.
Just a regular Office Max like any other
Quick and nice serve! Helpful!
I use Office Depot constantly to make scan books for my job. I use them all over Central Florida. Normally it takes 15 to 20 minutes to make several scan books for me, sometimes up to 10. Was told at this location that it would be 24 hours before they are ready. That is absolutely ridiculous. Awful service.
We have come to this Office Depot location multiple times to print marketing material for our business, and have never had a pleasant experience. The turnaround times are always unnecessarily long, coupled with extremely poor customer service. We’ve been told different information by multiple employees, and have even been asked to return to the print center because the one person in the building who knew how to do their job was on lunch break. We continued to print here because it was close to our office, but we’ll definitely be switching over to a different online service now. If you need quick, efficient printing for your business, you’ll want to find somewhere else!
Terrible customer service at the print department!
Four different visits and three different agents in the past two months, but the same problem each time – they don’t want to be bothered with customers. Even on the occasions when there are no other customers waiting for full service, they say the copies won’t be finished for at least 24 hours.
I was told the same thing again this morning, “24 hours before copies can be picked up.” He then referred me to the self-service copiers. During the 15 minutes it took to buy a copy card from the cashier at the exit and go back to the self-service machines to make the copies myself, I kept an eye on the guy. The entire time he did nothing but stand behind the counter browsing his phone. He just takes down the orders, but leaves the actual copying to whatever workers are coming in later. That explains the 24 turn around time!
14. Hot Topic
Address: 357 N Alafaya Trail SPC B02, Orlando, FL 32828 , Alafaya , Florida , United States
Great service as always Rick in pro audio is the man !! Happy to do business with him and Sam ash in Orlando !!
The store off colonial east of Orlando is great.
They are always helpful.
The new supervisor/manager in the band department, Daniel, is impatient and should not be in a leadership role in any capacity. The sales associate Connor is extremely rude and has minimal knowledge about the department he works in. And for whatever reason, Sam Ash disabled the google feature that allowed you to check the inventory of each indiviual store. So now the only way to confirm if they have something beforehand, is by calling and talking to their rude employees who can’t seem to be bothered even though they barely ever have any customers. There was one employee, Courtney, who was always helpful and had great customer service skills. Sadly, I don’t think she works there anymore…she probably found better employment elsewhere.
Prompt not pushy sales people. Very knowledgeable. Lots of guitars! Instruments and some gear available to try out before you buy. Good atmosphere to walk into.
*EDIT* The man was the manager, and while the rest of the staff and we were wearing masks, he was not wearing one.
While the rest of the staff are wonderfully informed and helpful (especially Ricky), we had an older white man with white hair come and stop us while we were trying out an amp. Yes, it was probably too loud, our bad, but he didn’t have to be nasty about it.
He rushed over saying “No, no, no! We can’t have that! It’s too loud, we can’t hear the phones, and it’s just disrespectful!” Not even giving us a chance to ask what was wrong, and correct our actions ourselves. Then he rushed off into some unknown corner of the store.
Now, I work in customer service, and I see some pretty mean clients. BUT, you should always politely approach the situation with a civil tone and try to actually TALK TO, not TALK AT your customers. We’re all grown adults. If only that employee could have acted as such. Very disappointed in his customer service skills, they are severely lacking.
This place is a morgue, most of the floor space doesn’t have product. Smells and looks like a basement after it’s been flooded.
This store is horrible. The employees could care less about helping me when I was there recently. I bought several items but was rushed out because the store was closing (it was actually 10 minutes before closing time). In fact, one employee got on the intercom and jokingly said “leave now”, which was unbelievable. So I did leave and will never go back. Worst music store experience I’ve had, and I’ve been to a lot in my time. Sam Ash corporate should look into this store because it gives the company as a whole a bad name. However, in full disclosure, the store on Lee Road is nice and the employees are extremely helpful. But steer clear of the Colonial location. It was an appalling experience.
Where do I start. First of all they never have inventory. They always seem to be short on everything. The staff there are some of the least helpful people there. The only two good employees are the techs. The techs at samash are the only truly helpful individuals there I have nothing bad to say about them. But all the other employees need to get fired.
An awesome Target and they also have one of Orlando’s best optometrists also. Easy to get in and out no matter what time of the day.
Clean , organized
It is always clean and organized in this location. The associates are friendly and willing to assist. My family and I have yet to have any issues with this location.
Its a super Target so they have everything you need. Much better service than Walmart. They have the fresh salads and sandwiches at this location.
Love this Target because it’s the one closest to me.
Hardly any baby products for my granddaughter any more. Seems more like home trends and make up now
25 minutes for a simple phone question. Need more people or a number system in the phone section. The sales associate was very pleasant but she needs help in this section.
28 check out lines but only three open – long lines for the holidays. Incompetent customer service department who wouldn’t even perform a stock check when I provided them the stock item number. Feels more like a Walmart
I went there it was my 20th time there and I was just walking around and the manger kept looking at me I also had my Service Dog she got excited so she bark and we said stop . Then the manger said that people kept giving complain (witch I didn’t Believe Because people never complain) and she kicked use out because she is racist because we are Latinos. So if you go there with a dog and you are latino,indian, and more , be aware she is racist
20. Smartpunk’s Record Shop
Address: 12078 Collegiate Way, Orlando, FL 32817 , Alafaya , Florida , United States
What a cool spot! Great selection, especially if you’re a punk / hardcore / alt rock fan. The staff is professional and always ready to answer questions. Definitely one my new go-tos next time I’m in Central Florida.
Wide variety of artists and genres, and it’s super organized! You can also find plenty of rare vinyls. If they’re missing an album from and artist you like, ask if they have any more, because they keep a stock in the back.
A simple, well maintained and pretty fairly priced record shop run by staff that I wish I had the time to get to know better. Good selections, good prices, and one place where I wish I had more disposable income.
Nice small record shop. They had an amazing selection for a small shop. If I’m in the area this is a must go for me. The only thing that I think is a minus is the staff. I’ve had better and more helpful staff in record shops, but I bet if I would have asked I would have recieved more help. A great place overall!
Nice local record shop. Decent selection if you like pop or oldies. Will return again
Great store with a pretty strong selection. It’s all in a small space however so prepare to be shoulder to shoulder with a stranger as you browse. Fortunately, most of the clientele take hygiene seriously so it’s all good. Also staff is friendly but stay out of your way unless you need something, so you can shop in peace.
I’ve seen cockroaches around the place and they have sections for artists that they don’t even have any records for (Dave Matthews). The selection also isn’t nearly as wide as other stores in Orlando.
It is the second time that I have problems with my purchase on your site. First time YOU SOLD MY PURCHASE TO ANOTHER PERSON!!!!, and you notified me about it 3 months later, after I sent you many emails.
Now, my shippment did not arrived yet, and that order was sent it 2 months ago, And of course nobody answers my emails, come on guys, I spent a lot of money and you don’t care, as a customer I deserve a little respect.
I attached an image of my first time purchase
Hi guys, I’m having trouble with a purchase I made, the shipment never arrived and no one answered my questions. A friend recommends me your site, but I think you are not serious people. I need the product I bought or at least my money. Please answer my question. It was very difficult for me to get the money, and now you have my money and my purchase. I did it 3 months ago. I will appreciate someone letting me know what is going on. Thanks
