Missing something in your rental? You’ll probably find it here
Volunteers do a wonderful job keeping it neat and organized.
Shopped there twice last week, left my husband at the resort the 2nd time. Clothes are clean and easy to look through. Bought about 6 items, 2 with original tags. Not huge but well worth a detour to shop here.
Went today was expecting Great things based on the reviews and was not impressed. The Ladies who worked in the shop were Fabulous. The prices were not Great and neither was the merchandise compared to some other thrift stores I have been too. I got 8 christmas napkons for 2.00 which a good biy and a cookbook for $2.00 but other than that I was not impressed.
Wonderful
A little bit of everything
. everything neat.
Terrible service. Store is over crowded and priced are close to retail. Not for the bargain shoppers in my opinion.
Nice stuff but very overpriced!!! For a thrift store.

This is a great little music store, and every time I walk in, they have more and more gear! Make sure to shop here before going to the chain stores or shopping online. You’ll be glad you did!
Most friendly people! Definitely going to buy here over bigger stores once I’m in the market again. Highly recommend this place
Great little place with instruments of all kinds accessories and lessons
scammer
Not open during advertised hours. 2:30, Friday Mar 24th. Driving around here is bad enough, let alone doing it for no reason.
I bought something and they never sent my item. They insisted I pay by money gram, and once I sent the money they disappeared. Dishonest company

Great people and a great inventory, was very reasonable and they were willing to work with me on a trade that went way better than I was expecting. Probably received double the offer for my guitar than I would have gotten at Guitar Center!
It was a super easy process with everything and they were all very helpful and informative!
So I have to say this is one of the friendliest stores I have ever done business with amazing experience overall
I came in to Sam Ash about a year ago and the percussion rep was very knowledgeable and answered All my questions. I ended up deciding to buy a kit and he was so helpful with helping me pick out my kit.since then I have stopped in and he has not been there, the rest of the staff seems not to want to help you. I came in to get info on a new amplifier and no one helped me the whole time I was in there. So I bought a used one from a friend of mine. Next I stopped in a few days ago and wanted to try a acoustic kit, I asked if they had a set I could try. The salesperson said sure and pointed at a kit. I asked if he had some sticks and he said sure and grabbed me one stick. So now not only have you lost one sale, you’ve lost two sales now.
Very good, had what we needed and were very helpful.
I love my boss katana 100
The guys in the store were very cooperative except the guy in the drum department. Very uncooperative. He acted like you were bothering him the whole time and it happened both times I was in. Will not go into a Sam Ash again!!
Staff was not very knowledgeable at all. Also not the most courteous. I asked for a price on maintenance on a floating trem the guy said he didn’t know I had to ask the guy who does the maintenance. I told the guy guy what bridge I had and he told me he didn’t know what it was so I explained it in layman terms and he somewhat understood. I then asked if they had a stand for my guitar. I told him I have a xiphos which has a distinct body. He was flabbergasted then proceeded to ask me if it was a v or an explorer shape. He had to look it up. Trash place. Only go there if you need strings or picks on the fly. Overpriced stuff being sold by under qualified people
Included a speaker cord that was bad, so I had to rush out and buy a cord for the gig that night
One of the best bacon egg and cheese sandwiches I’ve ever had!
Had the pleasure of meeting Leo the tortoise. It’s the first coffee shop I’ve ever been to in which a tortoise was walking around. Very unique! The owner was very nice, and the food and coffee was great!
What a great little spot! Food was simple and tasty! Great selection of coffee and other drinks! Staff was super friendly! Will definitely return!
Cute shop filling a needed niche on the island. Surprisingly a bit pricey per person.
Good coffee shop +. We had Iced tea and breakfast: Italian panini and everything bagel delicious. A LBK TRADITION FOR MANY. Friendly staff, beachy and hippy atmosphere. Inside and outside seating. This is a good morning to mid afternoon break place for beach goers. Relaxed and casual. Next to swim city. Parking in front—be careful of pedestrians, bikers and runners on sidewalk in front of building. Look for humor posted throughout – like—>
“She crab” —one in dire need of a beach day
This was a nice small stop on a morning bike ride. They have a few good options and are in a good location. For drip coffee expect it to be prepared ahead of time from a warmer, but not different than what most coffee shops do for drip coffee. They were friendly and had a nice place to sit and think while sipping my coffee. They were clean and the layout had a nice inviting character.
I only come to the island once a year but I’ll need to be sure to bring my bike and visit them again.
Food was very bland and over cooked. I order coffee and got vanilla coffee and it was weak.
Subpar coffee and smoothie. Horrible woman at the front being ridiculously loud, going on and on about her lack of empathy to a homeless man who was found sleeping in their parking lot while they were closed. Be aware of your surroundings. Some people do not want to lose faith in humanity while they are eating breakfast and cannot escape your disgustingly loud voice.
People must be really desperate here for coffee if this is what they will settle for…. This place is disgustingly dirty. Not just the floor but the coffee machines they are serving people with. Dirty steamers, machines etc. If you can get past the filth, this “coffee shop” is using two refillable home grade espresso machines that don’t produce enough pressure to make a proper espresso for lattes or anything, you just get a watery shot. As we were waiting for our coffee, the two owners said to the kids upfront we’re gonna go to the beach. You should really spend the time cleaning your shop instead of worrying about your suntan so somebody doesn’t get sick.
8. Music Go Round Bradenton
Address: 5108 15th St E Unit 204, Bradenton, FL 34203 , Longboat Key , Florida , United States
Great place to shop and sell, I’ve been trading and buying here since it opened back in 2019 and I’m always satisfied 10/10 would recommend.
The only reason I am giving 4 instead of 5 is because I don’t really deal with the store..
I’m there for the lessons, which two weeks in is absolutely 5 star! I am so comfortable with Joe, he has such an awesome attitude, he makes sure I understand and he tells really great dad jokes! oh F it, if Joe is there it’s got to be a 5 star store, Joe knows good stuff!
Btw, I’m 59 taking beginner guitar lessons.. you should start your musical journey with Joe at The Music Go Round in Bradenton
While I haven’t been @ this store, I’ve bought from a (closed) one in Lakeland and found good deals on parts for my drum stands. Bass pedal prices are good also I noticed. I’m still looking for the” holy grail” of drums. A SONOR HLD 590.
Nice price’s
I like the idea of new and used music gear chain store. They are able to access instruments and equipment from all over the country. The salesman could have been more knowledgeable but overall, it’s really good.
Everything is overpriced, if you add $10 to the value u can get a new one. Guys at the front desk are really disrespectful. That is so many other stores around with better pice and great environment .
The “owner” is not very kind and not really knowledgeable about music regarding stereo equipment. They can’t even test the speakers they sell properly to show you they work. Being a used equipment store this makes no sense. Especially after being told we are a big store and don’t need your business. Went to guitar center & got bigger speakers for a better deal anyway. Steer clear
store is kind of preoccupied. i go there to get supplies for my parent. i mean its a music store. i listen to music my parent sends me to stores. i find its okay but who knows

Cynthia is an excellent performer and vocalist. She entertained my Christmas Party and my guests had a blast listening to her sing as well as singing along! Id thoroughly recommend her.
Such great entertainment fun with Cynthia. Her piano and singing ability is top notch and she encourages you to sing along. Cynthia is a natural at playing and singing every thing from show tunes, love songs and old standards that span. decades. You will not be disappointed.
Cynthia has great piano playing and vocal skills. She can play just about any song requested.
When you are on long boat key and in need of breakfast, this is the place to go! Food is great and service is exceptional. They truly care.
We tried the Blue Dolphin cafe for Sunday Brunch. The atmosphere was clean and inviting and the service was great. Food was much better than other breakfast locations in the area so this has become our go-to place. We tried French Toast, Blue Dolphin omelette, Belgian Waffle, and the Blue Dolphin Special — all were great!
Have been to both locations. Always good food and friendly servers
Tasty breakfast food, but the service was essentially nonexistent. Keeps me from wanting to return.
Food was ok, not worth what I paid for it.
Not a bad place for breakfast. Portions on dolphin breakfast plate were good
Aw man…I love LBK but the blue dolphin needs a complete overhaul. It’s dated and dirty. There’s hair and crumbs between the cushion and booths, menus never seem to be clean (I suspect the dirty rags used), milk stays out on counter far too long, and food is a hit or miss. When it’s good it’s great but no consistency. We finally had to call time on our attempts to eat here.
Great service..food is mediocre…but it’s also inexpensive….
When it’s busy, it’s busy. It took 40 minutes (after seating) to get ordered. The coffee was burnt and some of the wait staff seemed angry. The look on fellow customers’ faces looked disappointed and annoyed.
I ordered a western omelet and it was under cooked. Actually made me sick. But got it remade and was fine.
My meal also came with an English muffin, when I ordered white toast. Not a big deal until when I politely asked for the white toast, I got a nasty remark, “I’ll get you white toast then!”
Came to this cafe because I heard people “talking” about it. Not sure if I’ll ever come back!
