Jocelyn is Always very kind and helpful and I’m a regular so I come here a lot! she literally always have the best advise thank you for always being so kind and helping us out!
Anibal is amazing!
Nothing wow’d me…but then again it is a pawn shop
I have been coming in for years, Anibal and Mildred are great. But they we’re off the day I came in and Damaris had to help me. She is very rude and couldn’t look up from her phone long enough to help her customer. If she is the only one at the counter to help next time I will leave and come back when Anibal is back. Very unhappy with my last trip in
No star rating . Let me start by saying If you want to get insulted with a smart mouth this is the place to go. So rude, unprofessional. Peace of garbage employee was rude as hell she knows who she is. If you have a problem and don’t like your job go somewhere else do not take it out on the customers. You can rest assure I’m calling corporate and reporting your unprofessional horrible work ethics.
I was standing in line for 5 minutes, there was a lady standing in the line next to me, and the Manger told her to cut me. On top of it I had a Dewalt impact drill, and he said the motor was going out. I’ve been in construction for two years and know when a tool is starting to go bad. As soon as I walked in I felt like I was profiled.

Address: 1105 A Diligent Ct, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
Recently got my first tube amp from here. The service was better than any other music store, blows GC out of the water.
Excellent customer service!
Awesome staff. I knew exactly what i wanted but they were still so friendly and knowledgable that i got to chatting about music with them. I couldve stayed there all day, the people make this store the best.
Great staff and pretty good selection, although as far as guitar selection goes, it appears to be turning into an Ibanez store.
I attended a music recording seminar hosted by Warren Cook at George’s Music and found it to be superior to a competitor’s class offering. Warren’s class was better because of his content. He also taught from an outline that he had prepared and had handed out to all of the participants. Mr. Cook did not try to “wow” us with esoteric, far-out concepts, but instead, he offered practical and easy to follow advice. Our time spent with Mr. Cook was valuable and gave us all a feeling of goodwill toward George’s music. I will attend other classes as they are offered.
I do have a few suggestions for George’s Music that could improve the class experience even further. If it was possible for George’s Music to build a 20′ x 20′ room for the purpose of displaying a Mac and or PC setup for recording it would give the students more of a clear idea of what is needed for a home studio. Maybe that would generate some immediate sales. Classes could have some privacy and isolation as different elements of home recording are displayed on screen and demonstrated in real time. Mr. Cook’s class had to come to an end when other customers were playing with the steel drum section right next to our class area.
My main motivation for writing this letter is because of my very positive experiences at your store on Blanding Blvd., and for the very high quality of Mr. Cooks’ knowledge of home recording and his excellent ability to teach it to the average person like myself.
The people were very helpful. Got set up with all equipment. Friendly. Sold exactly what is needed. Thank you
Went here to get strings and some other things wasnt sure of what I was going to buy but I was fixing to spend about 500 until I got told that I had to have a mask abd the lady said we can do curbside I said no thanks I want to pick it out my self see touch maybe play it but had to take my buisness else where cause they woukdbt let me look without a mask I wint never go back here every
Unhelpful staff. Poor selection. I went to Guitar Center and my money went twice as far. Sorry local music slop.
Drove 40 minutes out of the way to get my guitar setup based off the nice reviews. Ended up just paying $65 to have my guitar sit in the back room for 24 hours with no setup done
7. B B Studios
Address: 795 Mayport Rd, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
Lovely and helpful staff as well as everything a musician could ever want in one building.
I came here to sell a guitar, but they couldn’t buy it. I ended up buying a new guitar, I got one of the floor models and the upgraded warranty. I know this is more of a /you get what you paid for because you bought a warranty/ thing.. but my new guitar had an electrical issue, I brought it back and they replaced it with a completely new guitar (same model) in the box, no questions asked. The cashier went out of her way to start the return policy over that day to make the most of it, and I felt pretty good about the whole thing
Amazing service and great selection of instruments.
Things were mistagged or not even priced so we had to rely on the app to answer our questions. We went to the guitars to try them and another 10 min without any assistance. This place has no sense of customer service. You’re better off going to George’s Music at the beach. I came here to shop for a keyboard for my girlfriend and I play guitar so I have little information on keyboards. We spent a good 20 minutes in the keyboard section trying out keyboards, checking prices online, looking at deals at Guitar Center…not once were we greeted or asked if we needed help.
It’s just meh. They just rearranged it again inside, but it can’t hide the fact it’s tired and old. They locked up the good guitars. The people are nice, they just aren’t salespeople. It used to be that they would demo new gear and get you excited about what to save for next. Last, can you please retire the Yngwie Malmsteen window cling, please?
Great staff! I would like to see more involvement with the church community. Hundreds of church musicians purchase from Guitar center. Would love to see activities based for the church community at least once a year. You guys rock!
Absolutely awful experience. Tried to order a piano and they refused to deliver it because I live down a dirt road. After several days of back and forth, we canceled the order and are waiting for a refund. Why accept an order you cannot fill? Beware of this awful company and anyone they associate with.
Slow service, they also have no stock for most items they sell which means you basically pay retail for used “exhibit” gear. I’d say u should only go to the store to test out stuff u may like or if you’re on a rush.
Went into to look at microphones and after 15 minutes, no one offered to show me anything. I went to the front desk and asked for assistance and was told someone would be with me in a minute. After another 10 minutes, I just left the store. I think I’ll stick with Sweetwater and will definitely not return, that’s for sure.
10. Atlantic Beach Arts Market
Address: 1805 Mayport Rd, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
HUGE variation of decor, jewelry, furniture, trinkets and more!!!!! Wonderful shop.
Great place to buy locally made products and art
There are truly amazing places to see and an array of things to do in the Jacksonville/ Atlantic Beach FL area. No problem finding a great place to eat. I highly recommend anyone visit Jacksonville. go ahead just do it!
Nice indoor market. Very tight to walk through and is challenging for those with walking and or durable medical equipment that helps with movement.
Interesting variety of lovely artistic delights!
If I could give them zero stars I would, they don’t greet you if you’re a repeated customer. They are standoffish I will not be going again
I am so happy I got the chance to work with Allison of String Theory Music!! Allison and Beth performed at my wedding ceremony and it was absolutely amazing!!! Allison is very easy to work with and they can create a in house composed song if you need it as we had done for my husband. Also huge thank you for being able to make the rotation of the songs flow so well specially with the Flower Dudes!! You two truly made my wedding day perfect and will cherish that day for the rest of my life.
What a beautiful addition to our ceremony String Theory was! We originally had a friend playing acoustic music for us but I worked multiple weddings with this vendor and they were so talented we decided we had to hire them if they had our date available (July 3rd, 2022) We were so thankful they did and they were so accommodating. We chose a string trio. We were only particular about a few songs for the processional but otherwise kept song choices in their hands. We are still receiving compliments about how beautiful it was. It added an extra step of elegance to our ceremony which is exactly what we wanted before the “party” part of the wedding. They arrived promptly on time and played for half an hour before the ceremony. We can’t thank them enough for being apart of our day and making it even more special.
Great experience using String Theory Music. They were promptly there prior to the wedding and provided such beautiful music during and after our ceremony.
12. Blackhat Vapor Shop
Address: 31 Sailfish Dr E, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
Blackhat Vapor is awesome. I’ve been a patron of their Jax Beach location for a couple of years, and part of that reason is simply their staff. The guys in the shop are super knowledge, friendly and nice. I constantly forget his name, but the guy that’s usually there every time I go in is great. He has helped me find my favorite devices and flavors, and has never steered me wrong. Blackhat is definitely my favorite vape shop to visit, and in my opinion, the best one in town!
Best Vapor Shop in Jax!!! Been going here for years. After trying many vape shops I found this place to have the cleanest atmosphere with the friendliest staff. Not only do they remember you and your likes, they are extremely knowledgeable and always welcoming. LOVE!
Very personable and patient…
Good store, specials are relevant and the inventory is usually well stocked!
Good variety of flavors and good prices
Very nice..

Ellen’s kitchen has the best breakfast, with extremely fast service.
Fun Festival
Great food. Lively. Free parking in some areas. Beautiful area.
Very touristy but also attended by many locals. Many selections of good restaurants and great Hangouts
Nice atmosphere.
I love the shoppes, all at walking distance, at the beach!!
Very affordable
No parking anywhere they want residents to pay to park, they shaft the employees of the town center by giving them designated spots and not protecting them letting anyone park there this place is crowded enough you need a parking garage to help with the influx of people and employees.
Zero diversity in this area. Very Caucasian friendly.
15. Morris Music Academy
Address: 2602 Isabella Blvd #50, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
I absolutely love it at Morris Music Academy! I am a saxophonist and Tracy has helped me improve my skills greatly. He is willing to help me with all of my music endeavors including assisting my trio and quartet rehearsals alongside my individual lesson times. Great one on one instruction and connections with people in the music field. Lessons are tailored to student interest and very communicative. The staff are all friendly and personable. Highly recommend taking lessons here! Overall a great atmosphere.
My daughter has been going for voice lessons from Lemar here and she loves it. Lemar is so professional and positively motivating for her and in his approach to teaching. My daughter was very shy and somewhat recluse and now she’s an amazing wall flower thanks to the training she’s had by this fine academy. I also have her in guitar here as well and both Taylor and Johnathon are just the most talented and patient musicians ever.. For the first time ever I am taking her to an activity she’s not throwing a fit about doing. If you have an opportunity to get in on the roster take it while you can, the slots fill up fast for all the talented and award winning staff at this academy.
Great owner and solid program.
16. Dollar Tree
Address: 989 Atlantic Blvd Suite B, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
My favorite. Dollar Tree in the JAX area. Employees are friendly and helpful. Convenient location and easy to park
Great customer service!
The customer service was okay there is Never Enough employees at the register, so you have to wait forever to check out.
Clean store. Limited items probably because of small space. Nice staff
Good store for when you need essentials and don’t have time for bigger stores
Did not have helium for ballons…had to go somewhere else
My chip on my bank card didn’t work. And the cashier and the manager act like they didn’t know what to do.i told them how to get things straight. Many people’s chip malfunction and the workers should know what to do, besides try and turn away business
In this Dollar tree I had a very bad experience, there is an employee who is at the cash register who is dishonest. I bought $7 worth, paid him $20, and he gave me $3 back. I realized the error in my car. I went to Acer to file the claim and they simply denied that I had paid them $20. The same thief tells me that I sent it paid for with a $10 dollar bill. . They just robbed me of $13 dollars.
17. bealls
Address: 572 Atlantic Blvd, Neptune Beach, FL 32266 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
They have great prices and a good selection of clothes for an outlet store. Products change frequently. Center is under construction but the store remains open.
Loved shopping here!!!
I was pretty impressed. Good selection. Found cute dress, shorts and a t-shirt.
It is an outlet
Store clean and orderly,
Nothing wrong with the people that work there. Just not very big has more pocket books and clothes
18. Panera Bread
Address: 899 Atlantic Blvd, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
Love this place, especially there orange juice and cinnamon rolls and the staff is awesome
Both cashiers & wait staff always pleasant. Food fresh with multiple choices to please any appetite. Decor pleasant, but conversations easily overheard by surrounding tables which makes it difficult to read and focus while eating, hence the four (4) star rating.
Relaxing place to go to
Same as any other Panera. Not bad, just there.
I’m sad that I have to find another panera but after multiple visits/ complaints about a specific employee repeatedly touching his person(his hat,hair,face, pants, etc.) and then an attitude when asked to change his gloves and a manager talking to him about it I just don’t have the stomach to return.
Worst Panera I have ever been to. Food is never correct, hot, or accounted for (meaning you never get what you ordered). They promise you free food next time, but the “manager” that promised you, is never there and might be 18 years old. Not looking for free food, just consistency. I would give ZERO stars if I could. This is NOT the best breakfast, lunch, or dinner in Atlantic Beach. Search your local spots, travelers.
37 minutes to get a bagel sliced and toasted along with soup in a bread bowl.
19. Cypress Recording Studios
Address: 120 5th St N, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
Working with Dave was an amazing experience. Definitely the place to record if you’re serious about your craft and looking to gain knowledge. They even gave me hot tea!
-Michael Love
My son had a great time recording with his band today, Dave was so nice and helpful! Can’t wait to go back!
Dave and Linda are great i brought in 10 originals and they made my voice sound like brand new.
I was so use to recording my songs with background noise it kind of blew my mind when i heard them.
It was like i heard my voice for the first time I’d highly recommend getting any material you have mastered by Dave even the raw recordings sounded amazing.
I recorded a demo at Cypress recording studios in 1986 while I was in the Navy. Even though the studio was neat it was somewhat dated even back then. I found the cassette of my original demo the other day and decided to come back around to write a nice note about Cypress – the sound quality was incredible – the microphones and clean sound are excellent (gotta love analog). I still enjoy the sound of that demo today even though I wasn’t such a great musician back then… Hope everything is well – good luck!
No backup singing, used an intern to record, very unprofessional.
Absolutely horrible & rude customer service when I simply called to find out about their rates.
There rip offs. They charged me 1500 and never recorded me. DONT TRUST THIS COMPANY THEY WILL JUST USE YOU FOR YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY THEY ARE FAKES.
UPDATE.. NO THEY DID NOT HELP ME THAT IS A LIE..
20. Redbox
Address: 2405 Mayport Rd, Atlantic Beach, FL 32233 , Atlantic Beach , Florida , United States
Why do they all seem to face west? Can’t see the screen when trying to rent around dinner time. Seems the touchscreen doesn’t work properly at that time either.
