This is an awesome record store. They have lots of records from various artists, including limited releases. I was very happy to find the anniversary edition record of Insomniac by Green Day here. The prices on the records are all fair. In addition to records, they also sell posters, movies, and old video games [NES, Atari 2600, etc]. The inside of the shop is really nice. I was very happy with my record purchase.
Went in to buy a record and the kid behind the counter was useless. Manager came in and was extremely helpful. Great store for him, not the kid. I’m glad he’s gone.
great spot! awesome classic rock vinyl collection. thanks Tom!
Amazing selections, amazing classics

Address: 130 Juno St #2, Jupiter, FL 33458 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
Wonderful customer service. I was able to purchase my Taylor Koa GS Mini and have it shipped to me the same week when all other online dealers were backordered for months! Guitar arrived in mint condition. I received phone call both before and after to check on my status. I would have no problems buying from this company again in the future!
Steve was very helpful and made sure that the product we bought would fulfill our needs. Thanks, MusiciansBuy!
Steve makes shopping on line a joy! He not only knows his products and is helpful, he can be trusted. I ordered a Yamaha P105 Electric Piano for myself and helped a friend order one. We have both been happy with our service. I am in the process of checking out ordering a Hammond SK1-88 Portable Organ for our church. Again, I am trusting Steve to assist us. I know we can trust him and MusiciansBuy to stand behind their products.

Excellent transaction. Product as described and shipped as discussed. Great stuff guys. Thanks again.
Awesome customer service! Tim was outstanding in helping me with my purchase! Thank you Tim!
Great selection, and ease of online shopping, most of all, very fast shipping!
Great store with great people. Unfortunately it’s closed. You can still buy from them online though.
These guys really go the extra mile with communication. Maybe a bit too much, hence the 4 stars instead of 5. I appreciate being kept informed but getting texts, emails, and voicemails for 1 order is a bit much. Anyway, their heart is in the right place, and the gig-bag I ordered is great!
All the rave reviews ate well earned.
Out of business
Not a “music store” but more like a warehouse with a very small showroom. This is essentially a front for their booming internet business. Prices are higher than most. Selection is limited on even the staple items like guitar strings. Will work in a pinch, but wouldn’t ever go out if my way to visit again.
This place is closed
5. Jupiter Music Store
Address: 275 Toney Penna Dr #2, Jupiter, FL 33458 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
I went to Jupiter Music Store for the first time to buy new strings for my acoustic guitar. I was met by Alex who offered to restring it for me as I’m a beginner who has never done it before. He was super friendly and efficient and showed me all of the tips to do it myself in the future. I can’t say enough good things about Alex, he was awesome! I would highly recommend Jupiter Music Store and Alex to help you with your needs.
Super helpful staff! They fixed my daughters guitar for free…We were very impressed by the way they treat customers.
Love that they price match; it’s nice to support a local place over a huge chain! Adam is a treasure trove of knowledge regarding all things music and music gear and really works to help you find exactly what you’re looking for. I recommend this store to all my students!
Good customer service.
Walked in and checked out the merchandise without being greeted by any of the staff… small showroom with new and used low end to mid range entry level instruments.
The man working in the store was friendly and helpfull.
I have brought in 8 guitars for service over a 4 month period and they were only able to complete 2 .The first was a simple tuners swap.
No drilling. I supplied the parts.58$
The second was soldering 3 wires on a pick guard. Only 10$ but took 3 weeks and they “lost “ my 40 year old pick guard screws! The others were apparently beyond their ability to fix.One memorable reason for not being able to drill an 8mm tuner hole to 10mm;” I don’t have a drill bit, I guess I could order one “Fastest turnaround time is 3 weeks even if they do nothing.Your guitar will spend that time as mine did, on a dirty floor in a high traffic area. I prefer to use small local business over say, Guitar Center but, in this case?…..
Spent a large sum of money in this store for my daughters Christmas gift and also set up lessons. 1st lesson was set with Adam, daughter was so excited to start. I was called 2 hours before her lesson cancelling the lesson because Adam has a “gig”. Extremely unprofessional. Had heard negative reviews about the store but went against what I had heard because they are close to our home. Shame on me for not listening. Overpaid for the guitar too. Not a good reputable store. Shop elsewhere. Get lessons elsewhere.
The store is an absolute disgusting disaster. I hate going in there. Looks like a horder runs this place. You’re out of luck if you need any advice regarding string instruments and accessories. They will advise you to use the cheapest bow available for any string student less than mid-level because he feels they can’t tell the difference between a plastic bow, carbon bow or a wood bow. This guy doesn’t play any string instrument, yet willing to dispense this advice freely. Might as well just do the research online and purchase it online as well for a more competitive price. Why bother being treated rudely?
6. Papa Kwans Coffee Shop
Address: 13882 US-1, Juno Beach, FL 33408 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
Smoothies rock, food is really good and they also sever bulletproof coffees here…The young woman behind the counter just made it up on the spot! I really like this place and give it a shot if you are in the area…
Great food options, love the acai bowls, coffee, cookies, highly recommended
I have been coming in for some time now and Joel has done a fantastic job turning this establishment into one of the top Coffee shops in all of Florida. Today I went with the Chocolate Cold brew. It may be the best cold brew I have ever had. Zero sugar as well. What separates Papa Kwan’s from the average coffee shop is attention to details. I love that they freeze cold brew into ice cubes so it doesn’t get watered down as you drink it. They even have KETO coffee options. Their food selection is great and also the kombucha. I get a growler from time to time. The staff is very friendly and does a great job…customer service is Amazing! If you live close by, this place is a MUST and if you are not close, it’s definitely worth a trip if you have the time! Come support your local businesses!
Good coffee, good latte, decent breakfast options. Try the overnight oats with cranberries.
Went in for smoothies, they were milk based. Not to our liking.
Nice outside seating and a nice sandwich. Not fast food.
Public Service Announcement. I reviewed Papa Kwan’s online menu to make my carry out decision prior to arrival. Imagine my shock when they charged me 50% higher than what was posted on their website. How hard is it to keep your website up to date….suspicious. My tuna wrap was just ok.
25 freaking minutes for a tuna sandwich. Literally only thing in the orde, a tuna sandwich and chips. Maybe get a 2 person crew to know out your simple orders guys. my WHOLE lunch break was taken to wait and got complained at by my boss and now don’t get to eat.
I really wanted to give this place a better review because it is a really cool spot and the employees have been really kind each time I’ve gone in. I’m giving it two stars for those reasons.
I moved really close to here and stopped in for breakfast one day. Tried their quiche which was very mediocre. I blamed that on myself and said the next time I would try a smoothie because other reviews speak very highly of them.
I ordered the peaches/berry smoothie and was VERY disappointed. It came out very liquid-y. I asked the fellow “is this the peach smoothie?” he said “yup.” I stepped outside to give it a try and I really have no other description besides gross. It was the consistency of almond milk (meaning very thin and just liquid…no body like I would expect a smoothie to have) and the flavor was one of the more odd things I have ever tasted. There really seemed to be no peach whatsoever and I could only taste the faintest hint of blueberry. It tasted as if they blended almond milk with a handful of blueberries. Maybe it was a new employee who didn’t have it down yet? I saw some of their Acai bowls coming out which looked yummy and had a smoothie-like consistency. I would be interested in trying them but at this point I just don’t feel like I want to spend more money and be disappointed again. I always try to leave positive reviews but I felt I needed to share my honest experience here.
Overall, I am very sad I spent $8 on something I actually threw away because I couldn’t drink it. I say give this place a go…but maybe stay clear of the smoothies.
*picture attached hoping to show the consistency*
7. Adopt A Cat Foundation Resale Store
Address: 889 Donald Ross Rd, Juno Beach, FL 33408 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
Love this thrift store! The staff is wonderful & of course Baxter is always there to greet you. Highly recommend.
Amazing store! Very friendly service, great prices and good finds for a great cause!
Baxter the kitty is super cute!
Great little place. Found a couple of great bargains. Money goes to support the no kill shelter so that makes my heart happy.
Not a lot of inventory but they do donate some proceeds to animal welfare.
Very nice when we went in. However, my son, who is a musician, saw a guitar in a back room with the door opened. He asked to see it and a woman asked what he was talking about. He had to tell her twice where it was. When she went back with him she rudely said, “that is my managers private office and nothing is for sale. Oh, and that is not a guitar, it’s a violin.” (Keep in mind the room was open, my son knows what a guitar is, and everything looked like it was for sale like the rest of the store). I said, “Ok, thank you for informing us.” She then looked again at the “violin” and realized it was a guitar and said it was a guitar. However, reminding nothing was for sale in that room. The woman was very rude and there was no reason for that behavior. We visit here yearly and not that it matters, but we will never go in that store again. And, my inlaws who winter here and love to support thrift stores will not support them and will tell their community not to support this as well.
8. Songmaster
Address: 601 Heritage Dr, Jupiter, FL 33458 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
Great school, instructors are professionals and the staff is very friendly and accommodating.
The instructors are great and motivated! it makes the students want to learn more and play their instruments more! Rick is awesome and has a great team!
The school itself is great my son has a great time and enjoys all aspects of learning so far, in my personal opinion the front area could use some work, it’s always very awkward when I walk in, dont even get me started on having to wait for any length of time, there’s hardly a greeting or asking why you’re here. I get it, this place is unprofessionally proffesional but the courtesy could be tuned up for the safety of the kids.
Ehh
Very poor experience. Started off pretty good then just went downhill from there. The owner really doesn’t care about anything but the money and his ego. The instructors there are very nice but never available for lessons. Speaking from my experience, my instructor was almost never there and I was always offered a lesson in something that was unrelated. Probably because they had something more important to do than school of rock. You pay to play shows that aren’t even worth it. Sound is horrendous, no real sound guy, equipment is old and outdated, and when somebody like myself tries to fix it, they yell and say I “don’t know what I’m doing” even though the owner has no musical knowledge whatsoever. The other musicians there are really nice and I got along with them just fine. The biggest problem with school of rock is it’s owner. I had to quit in the middle of the “amazing tour” due to the fact that it was a miserable and depressing experience. Terrible food, no sleep, no showering, rooms were full of cockroaches and were in the middle of the ghetto. I love music and playing was great, but all of the other nonsense in between really turned me off from it. There was no concern for anybody’s health or wellbeing. Only when I threatened to leave, and subsequently did, they decided to act like they wanted to help but it was too late. I shouldn’t have had to beg to take a break from the nonstop unrelated music activities that were boring and tiring. According to the owner, THAT is what a REAL touring musician does. Which is completely false. Real touring musicians get paid, and are not bombarded with unnecessary activities. They play music, relax, and repeat. And any other activities they want to do is on their own desire. In conclusion, new management is very well needed in North Palm Beach School Of Rock.

Good variety of instruments and accessories. Helpful friendly staff. Good prices
They are good at what they do. They give you honest quotes for what might be needed.
Great store for instrument rental.
DO NOT GO HERE FOR STRING REPAIRS. Or, frankly, repairs in general. I have never in my life experienced such poor customer service. I originally brought my viola to the store in Port Saint Lucie to be repaired and was told that it had to be shipped to the West Palm Beach store where the actual repair shop was. Seemed reasonable enough at the time. But this store then held my viola for well over a month, and started constantly making excuses as to why I couldn’t have my viola. Not only that, but it was impossible to get ahold of anyone at the store by telephone. I called time and time again and left numerous messages, but I was rarely able to get in touch with anyone until I actually spoke with the repair person. First it was that I didn’t tell them how I wanted it repaired (I did. Twice.) Then it was that the repair person only works weekends (she herself told me that she would come in and fix it on a weekday if needed, but they didn’t seem to care about that), and then it was that they couldn’t ship it back to the Port Saint Lucie store. Then, finally, when I finally got them to ship it back, they did it LATE. It is well over a month later and I STILL do not have my viola because of the terrible customer service. I’ve missed over 10 lessons now because of this. DO NOT go here for string repairs; they are simply understaffed.
I used to come here to have my instrument cleaned for years and will no longer be doing so. Repair shop is unwilling to accommodate professional musicians that are time sensitive. And no, I won’t be leaving my instrument that I make a living with with you for 7-10 days. That’s completely unacceptable. I even offer to pay extra for the rush. Insane. This would never happen in New York, Boston, LA, San Francisco, Dallas, or any city with pro music shops.
Trash. Not in a good way.
11. Cigar Guitar Blues
Address: 6215 Georgia Ave ste b, West Palm Beach, FL 33405 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
Ms. Reiko is an incredible teacher! I came to her with zero experience with piano and she’s been endlessly patient, even during the weeks where I completely forget to practice a song. Some weeks I’ve shown up with songs I’ve found online (instead of practicing the songs she actually wants me to practice) and she always takes the time to work through them. Even when they are far above my skill level. A few times I’ve come to the next lesson and she found a more beginner-friendly version.
I started my piano lessons after I hit 30 and she’s been great. I can’t recommend her enough for someone who wants to start learning how to play.
Ms Reiko is a great piano instructor. Our son was 5 when he started and after a year of lessons, he can read music and play with both hands proficiently. We highly recommend her!
Reiko is the best piano teacher ever! She taught my son and his friend since they were 3 and 4 years old, and they LOVE her. She gave them a love of music and she teaches them theory, sight-reading, and ear training and she has taught them how to play amazing duets together! She is a gifted and caring piano teacher who I highly recommend!
FAMILY OWNED VERY FRIENDLY STAFF GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE HAVE BEEN GOING THERE FOR OVER 10 YEARS NOW ASK FOR SHAWN!!!
Amazing prices and great help!
Holy Cross hospital
I needed a last minute sound system for an outdoor party. All three personnel in the store were extremely friendly and helpful. I was in and out with exactly what I needed in less than 20 minutes. Thanks for helping me make my company picnic a success!
Just a personal experience
Been in this store twice now, both times the workers talked down to me and basically ran me out of their store within 5 minutes. Horrible customer service.
Very Unwelcoming. This is not the place if you’re a musician and you want to touch and feel an instrument . Some employee, Mnr I think,, ran up on me and my son acting as though we were going to steal or break everything. In the end he didn’t even know is own inventory or didn’t care to help me find the equipment I was shopping for. Referred me to a online app. Very unwelcoming atmosphere. I won’t go back to this place again
I WENT IN THERE TO BUY A BASS AND THEY HAD A LITTLE ROOM WITH ALL THESE RED TAGS ON THE GUITARS AND BASSES “DO NOT TOUCH ASK FOR ASSISTANCE” SO I ASK IF I COULD TRY ONE OF THE BASSES AND THIS KID WITH A SNOTTY ATTITUDE LEANING OVER THE COUNTER GOES “ARE YOU GOING TO BUY IT FOR ME TO GO THROUGH THIS TROUBLE?” I SAID WELL I’D LIKE TO TRY IT FIRST. HE THEN HUFFS AND GET THE BASS DOWN. I WAS SO TURNED OFF BY THE HOLE STORE I JUST LEFT. DON’T GO IN THERE UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET TREATED WITH DISRESPECT AND RUDENESS.
15. Wolfe Guitars
Address: 2875 Jupiter Park Dr #400, Jupiter, FL 33458 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
It was so great to see a privately owned guitar shop with a great selection of high-end guitars, excellent service, and an even friendlier staff. It was well worth the trip from Fort Lauderdale I’ll be back!
Great collection of beautiful instruments. I’ve purchased 2 guitars here and multiple cases and things. I could sit in there all day.
Hi All
I purchased a heritage h150 from Wolf guitars. Graham suggested I have it plecked what a perfect job. This guitar is perfect right out of the box.
Second guitar I bought from them the are the bestl
Burl
Love this place! If you’re in South Florida and feel the need to visit a real, actual musician-oriented guitar shop…look no further. Businesses like this are a real treasure and getting harder to find everyday.
I would not recommend Wolfe Guitars, here’s why:
I sent an email to Wolfe Guitars on July 09th, 2013 with a specific list of things that I wanted done to a new Strat to include a PLEK and asked for pricing in this email.
I stated that I was a good three hours away and wanted to schedule an appointment to bring the guitar in (I also planned to look at the Heritage Guitars while I was there waiting).
I received a response from Jay Wolfe on the 10th stating they could handle the work but they were short a PLEK tech and wanted to know what day worked best and wanted to know where I was located but Mr. Wolfe did not give the requested prices.
I responded to Mr. Wolfe’s email on the 10th (within 15 minutes) stating that before I commit, I needed prices for the things listed in my original email, I wanted to make sure I was dealing with an experienced PLEK tech and I advised him of my location and flexibility for the appointment.
As of the 12th I had not received a response so I sent a follow-up email and as of today, the 24th, Mr. Wolfe still has not responded nor has Mr. Graham Zebedee who was cc’d.
Sadly this place isn’t what it once was, it WAS a customer satisfaction driven company. In the past I bought three guitars off them and an amp. Recently my wife wanted her bass guitar rewired and I thought I would take it back to the Wolfe where I bought it and let them give it some love. We dropped the guitar off and told them what we wanted done, the young lady there said “It will be done by the end of the week” … That was six weeks ago!!! The guitar was “Finished” last week and when we went to pick it up it my wife tried it out, the volume know was stiff and didn’t want to turn and the tone knob really didn’t work, even though the young man helping us swore up and down he could hear the difference (Minimal difference at best), he even turned the amp up louder so we could hear it wasn’t working even louder…. Lmao!!! Quick side note, the guitar has all chrome hardware on it, the tech put a black switch in.. Real classy. So we left them with the guitar and came back the following week. Yes it works correctly now. The young man was apologetic about us having to drive down from Stuart twice because of their mistake, I asked if he could show us how apologetic Wolfe guitar is on the bill… After conferring with someone we were informed basically the bill has been written up so the price is the price… That is the last money they will ever get from us!!!
The photos on the website were misleading. This place looked inviting. This shop looked like a place where musicians came to meet.
I wanted some info on the banjo. I’m looking for players, lessons, books, ..anything.
It seems that since I wasn’t in there to BUY an instrument, (…really..the same question 3 times?) I was asked to “sit tight” and wait to speak to someone.
After 20 minutes, I figured it out. No one was coming, so I left.
I always prefer the “little guy” to big corporate stores.
Wolfe Guitars has changed my mind.
16. Palm Beach Steel Drum Band
Address: 412 Southwind Dr #1, North Palm Beach, FL 33408 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
I have had the opportunity to enjoy these guys several times in various venues, from an outside concert to an intimate restaurant gig. I love their music and professionalism and try to hear them whenever I can. My wife says “ditto”…
Don’t bother to call them the guy is super rude and hung up on me twice just because he was out of my “assisted living” budget no customer service skills at all.
Fantastic vocals and a guitar player that knows his stuff… great.
Fantastic duo, great music, enjoyable time
I have been fortunate enough to see this band play at least 3 times.
They are a true pleasure to listen to and sing along with. Well worth you time to go see wherever they are playing.
18. Palm Beach Gardens Elite Music Academy of the Arts – (In-Studio, Online, and In-Home Music Lessons)
Address: 11800 S Gardens Dr, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
I’ve attempted piano lessons several times in my life beginning at age 11. The lessons were frustrating and I always ended up quitting. It never occurred to me that a piano teacher can be average (or below) and that others can be exemplary. Ms. Crawford is exemplary. Now in my 60’s, I am actually sight reading and playing piano with both hands. I thought it was something I would never achieve. Now I am advancing to levels of piano that I thought I’d never reach.
Did I mention my voice lessons? OMG!
I can sing! Wait, what? I can sing, WELL!
I must also mention that if you have children (of any age) who want to pursue music, Ms. Crawford will help them achieve their musical dreams. Just this year, I witnessed 4 of her students prepare for their auditions at Bak Middle School of the Arts, and A.W. Dreyfoos School of Art. They all got in! Truly amazing (and true)!
I’ve been taking lessons with Ms. Crawford for about six months. She is a great teacher … patient, interested, knowledgeable and passionate that I learn how to play the piano correctly at a pace that makes it an enjoyable learning experience. I had to make a decision between the sax and the piano … I made a good decision to go with the piano and an even better decision to take lessons from Ms. Crawford.
By far one of the best instructors in Palm Beach county. Truly knowledgeable in classical music and teaches music in true European style. She makes learning music enjoyable, highly recommend!
I wouldn’t recommend Joyce Crawford if the lessons were free. There are many other teachers out there, so do your research.
ETA-Nope not a fake review. Nice try.
19. PATTY CARLSON ENTERPRISES, LLC
Address: 3801 PGA Boulevard, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 , Juno Beach , Florida , United States
I love the ascetic it gives you and I was happy to buy a clarinet from here reccomend
Very knowledgeable and helpful
Nice
Went in to resolve an issue. It didn’t get resolved. I will look elsewhere to found what I am looking for.
Excellent teachers
Ok
They lied to me
I have purchased three clarinets for my daughter from Music Man, with the last one being over $3600 (Buffet R-13). The “brand-new” clarinet was damaged. We had it repaired from an outside person since my daughter needed it immediately for college auditions and we had been told by Music Man that the repairs would take three weeks. I received a phone call from the manager, Chris, asking for copies of my receipts. He then told me that he would submit the receipts to Buffet for reimbursement. After I submitted the receipts, Chris told me (A MONTH LATER) that he didn’t know why I had dropped off receipts for reimbursement and there would not be any reimbursement since I had taken it to elsewhere for repair. He even went as far as to say that he had never called me and had no idea what I was talking about, even though he had asked to speak to my daughter about what exactly needed to be repaired, as there had been other Buffet clarinets that needed to be repaired. After spending over $7000 at this store, I feel their customer service is horrible. Will never recommended it to anybody.
