Great selection of records in the back. Unique finds throughout the rest of the store. Gentleman working in the back with the records was very friendly.
Awesome record selection and great apparel if you are a deadhead fan. Be sure to visit often because they pull in rare and popular vinyls all the time.
Great store for Niantic gear and so much more.
Great place to purchase vinyl
Great head shop. Decently priced foot bags. Fun stickers, good people
Pricey when it comes to both new and old vinyl. A little confrontational when asked questions.
I love to shop, but cant even buy a piece….Not for your middle class income. Too expensive for me!
Says they open at 10:30, figured I’d stop in while I had some time in between jobs, it’s 10:47 and they’re not open and no sign of them opening at all, lights off no staff around. Won’t be wasting my time to come back here again
the record section is great but the store itself sucks. everything is ridiculously overpriced (and no, it’s not because the clothes are ethically sourced, because the same brands are available in many other places for much cheaper) and the lady that’s always working at the register has horrid vibes. i wouldn’t usually make a review like this but if you’re running a hippie store i think it’s important to have a friendly demeanor when you speak with customers. every time i walk into this place i feel like my friends and i are completely unwelcome- i understand being cautious of teens in a hippie store because of how many people steal, but it’s not good practice to assume the worst of your customers, especially if they’re returning customers. i’ve also had this lady lie to me to try to get me to buy stuff. just such a negative environment overall. not sure what this lady’s name is but you’ll know her when you see her. i really wish it wasn’t this way because aside from this lady the store is cool. still not a good place to go if you’re a hippie looking to support your fellow humans. a good place to go if you want to satisfy your aesthetic needs (and you have $60 to spend on a tie dyed tank top.)

My brother bought a guitar here. While he was taking lessons they realized part of the guitar was defective, and exchanged it right on the spot even a few weeks later. Excellent service.
They had plenty of instruments, books, and other things to browse through. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff was friendly. I will definitely be returning for musical purchases I need to make in the future.
Love it
Good music instructors, great service and great staff.
Music instructors are the best.
This store usually has my sax needs.
No ukulele’s or song books for ukulele’s even thou they advertise that they have them.
Be careful about their rental program. They will tell you that you can use the rental music towards an instrument, but the policy on this is excessively restrictive and limited to very few off-brands. Basically, the rental credit is worthless. If you want rentals, they are OK for that, but it is more or less money out the window. We kept an instrument for much longer than we otherwise would have after knowing that our child was going to stick with it with the plans on trading up. After accruing over $800 in credit, they said we could use it towards 2 different no-name brands or $200 of it towards a name brand instrument (which we ended up buying elsewhere for much less than that). You may be better served to rent briefly and return if your kid sticks with it after their 4 month promotion period, or pick a more local place and feel better about your money staying with local musicians and retailers.
they were nice and informative, but i returned something and they opted to send me a check. It’s been over a month and i still haven’t gotten my money back
