Came in and walked out with a guitar and an amp. Great little spot. Roy was very helpful. Hes got a collection of entry level instruments, used instruments, and big name brand instruments. He’s also got a backroom where he does guitar work and setups. Definitely recommended. I plan to keep coming back in here to see what new gear he’s got!
Nice place great selection. Ron is top notch. Knows his stuff and is great to work with!
Very knowledgeable. Owner is super nice guy. Drops everything to solve whatever problems I’ve brought in to him. Turnaround on repairs is lightning fast. Only guy on the treasure coast I trust to work on my basses.
4. The Guitar Workshoppe
Address: 41 SE Kindred St, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
What incredible service and a gold mine of information! Loved it!!!
A gem of a store! If you’re looking for expertise and experience, don’t miss the guitar workshoppe!
I’ve known Roy for years and I can say he’s the only guy I trust my equipment with! He’s got a huge collection of nice guitars for sale at a great price, and he’s an awesome guitar tech.
Very happy to have respectable guitar techs in our small town. I used to have to drive 30 mins north to GC for a setup and now these guys do it professionally locally.
5:30 pm sign says open till 6:00 pm. Lighted open sign is on and they are closed. I would call ahead to see if they are open.
5. Robert Swinton Guitar Instruction
Address: 333 SE Federal Hwy # H, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
I needed a new computer for my daughter who is doing high school online. Kyle was incredibly helpful. He knew just what she needed and found it for me. He was patient, informative and knowledgable. I was in and out in 30 minutes and I got an amazing deal!
Not many computers available in store
Very Busy Everytime I go there. The associates are helpful and friendly
I went to Best buy to look at car stereos. There was one guy trying to serve two different couples with questions. They were hovering around the car stereo area and it was kind of impossible to find what I was looking for. It was nobody’s fault. I didn’t want to take 20 or 30 minutes to look. So I decided to come home and buy it online. Best buy has great prices and I love the fact that they will install your car stereo if it’s over $199. So I will make my purchase online using best buy. The store is really nice. I just didn’t have the best experience trying to buy a car stereo. Again, not really anyone’s fault.
It’s best buy.
Went to purchase an writer and the employee had no clue what that was. I was differed to their website as it has more options. As many stores close down due to online purchases, this experience left me wondering if in store purchases at Best Buy will be relevant in the near future. My vote is no.
Nasty service, almost nothing was in it’s place, un reasonable prices.
Not like when Circuit CITY was the competition, now looks like a dump only interested in sales on mobile phone
7. Bubble Up’s Guitar Works
Address: 2624 SE Willoughby Blvd, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
I take all of my guitars to Brian for setups and repair. I trust him. He does business like once was a standard but now is hard to find….honest, good communication, clear expectations and pricing, accessible, polite, friendly, and quality service.
This place is THE BEST! Took in my Ibanez nylon string electro-acoustic cutaway to get the action lowered and Brian did so much more. Checked and adjusted everything that could be checked. He even emailed me a precise description of all the work done. Now this guitar plays like a dream. Work was finished ahead of quoted date and out the door for a very reasonable price. I will be bringing more business his way, as I have electric, classical, blues, flamenco, jazz …, way too many guitars—most of ‘’em needing his help!. Thumbs up to Bubble Up’s!
Found Brian through a Google search and was amped to see his business so close to home, as I also live in Stuart.
I trusted him with my first guitar (ever), an ‘04 MIM Fender Stratocaster.
My goal was to replace all the electronics, tuners, bridge, and change plastics from white to black.
Guitar sounds beyond good!
Looking forward to future business with master Brian
8. Vintage Vibes
Address: 420 S Colorado Ave, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Just a great hidden gem, Stuart needs more places like this, a down home, nostalgic, happy trip to a not so distant past, where great memories are conjured forth like some heady herb being passed from friendly hands, top it with any soundtrack you desire from an amazing selection of every desirable type of music you can imagine. Karen is so cool and doesn’t just talk the talk, although she will indulge in conversation, she walks the walk, excellent clothes and jewelry to boot, , come on in and get happy
This is the best store I have ever been to in my life! First off, the owner is so kind and helpful, you can really tell she puts her all in her shop. Hospitality is a level 10!! Second the store is beyond clean and organized! everything was in fantastic condition and it was so easy to find all the things I was hunting for! It is a must see you absolutely won’t regret it!
Very small selection. The furniture was my favorite of the shop’s offerings, but there wasn’t a lot of it.
9. FYE
Address: 3090 NW Federal Hwy, Jensen Beach, FL 34957 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
All kinds of stuff in this store!! It was very easy to locate what I was looking for.
cool store & tshirtz
Always a must stop when at the mall
Always find something interesting, staff is always friendly and helpful. I never miss a chance to go and and see what new items they have.
Love this store!!.. although the website says they close at 9:00. Got here at 7:45 p.m. and they were closed on a Friday night
Excelente servicio
There is never anyone at the checkout counter and when they do show up, all they do is hassle you trying to get you to sign up for tons of useless stuff. Constantly asking for email addresses, phone numbers, home addresses. If you turn them down, they offer some kind of coupon and ask for your information all over again.
Over priced
It smells bad because the carpets are filthy. Too bad since the have a lot of cool stuff
10. Rain Cat Recording Studio
Address: 1108 NE Industrial Blvd, Jensen Beach, FL 34957 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Such a great experience recording here, The engineer is really nice, talented, and very helpful when it comes to making your track better then you realize.
I have done several recording projects with Rain Cat and have been very happy with the results of all of them. Jeff and Brian have both the technical skills and the people skills to bring out the best in any musician.
I have recorded in studios all over the United States and I will say Rain Cat Recording Studios has been my favorite recording experience. Brian and Jeff are true professionals and provide an intimate artist – producer relationship. You will be more than satisfied with the quality of your final product. Can not say enough good things about this studio and more importantly these two fine gentlemen.
Good vibes
I’ve never been treated so rudely by anyone in business expecially before even showing up to record. Expecially after losing my whole family to Covid, all I wanted was to do some drum Tracks and video.BUYER BEWARE DO NOT RECORD AT THIS PLACE RAIN CAT
11. Little Prodigy School of Music
Address: 851 SE Johnson Ave, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Friendliest service, the most unique and hard to find items, ukelele items, good for the soul needs. Highly recommend.
Colorful, full of surprises and funny quotes hippie store!
My Favorite Hippie Store! A bit of everything!
Love the girls that work there! The owner isn’t too cool as he was rude when we made a rather large purchase.. but whatever. I enjoy all of my purchases from his shop. They have very nice wind chimes and hammocks.
The tag line of Earth Tones is get in touch with your inner hippie. Earth Tones has combined a beach store, with new age, with a Buddhist theme, with a nice selection of garden pots and statues. I also buy all my incense here that I burn for homage to Buddha. In terms of jewelry I have enclosed a picture of what they carry. I have enclosed a picture of planters that I bought: the Mexican painted pots in the picture.
It is locally owned. Shop here and support our downtown which is delightful.
Cool place. Love the store. Reason for 4 stars thought items are over priced
Got super excited when I saw this place then got chased out and yelled at because my little cousin got a chocolate covered marshmallow at the store next to it. Rude as hell.
Don’t bring ice cream inside. Or else.
I have shopped here for a while now. However, after today, I will never go back or bring friends and family in.
The English woman in the store was beyond rude!
I have never seen her there before. This was my first time.
She made me and all the people I brought in there today very uncomfortable.
13. Hibiscus Treasure House Thrift
Address: 839 NW Federal Hwy, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
The people at Hibiscus are always friendly and nice. The location is convenient with lots of parking. You can always find a treasure there on the treasure coast.
Great prices
Just your average thrift store really. Nothing special about them. Prices at most thrift stores are pretty high actually and it’s no different with this one.
Good cause but I wasn’t overly impressed with selection or prices
Great sales
Manager was very rude to my children and I. It’s an amazing charity I like to donate to & frequent but unfortunately I will not be returning.
Prices on planet cuckoo land!
$350 for a set of cheap Chinese dishes NOT fine bone China. A cup and saucer missing.
$68 for an electric pressure cooker in box, no return policy!
Reality check badly needed
Yes I did approach a sales associate and their attitude was to defend the staff member who applies these crazy prices !
I would of gave it a 1 star but some of the sales people are actually nice to some customers. The clothing is over priced rather buy new clothes for same or cheaper at the actual store they came out of. Most of the items as well. They over price it like there selling on eBay when they get the items for FREE wow just saying and they say they help others out that’s not helping in my eyes.. I will never shop their again..
14. Barnes & Noble
Address: Treasure Coast Commons 3001, 3001 NW Federal Hwy, Jensen Beach, FL 34957 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Great clearance items and I signed up for the educator discount.
Great service and very friendly staff
Not many bookstores left anymore. This one has so much to offer. Books, gifts, toys, C d’s et cetera… Left off one star because unfortunately some things are a little pricey. But they do have great have great sales!
Same ole Barnes and Noble. You usually can find what you’re looking for but I couldn’t find a cookbook for diabetes.
Love this book store.
It was pouring down rain I went in to pick up my online order I had to go over to the music department to do so I asked the cashier in the music department if I could have a bag for my book purchase because it was raining and was told just put it under your coat I don’t have any bags here. The cashier at the front register was nice enough to give me a bag for my purchase I thought that was very rude of the employee that helped me in the music department
Levi at the coffee shop is terrible and rude. Threw my cake at me.
Favorite quiet peaceful place to unwind and read with coffeee
15. Music Man, Inc.
Address: 950 SW Bayshore Blvd, Port St. Lucie, FL 34983 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
if you or your child are even thinking about exploring music, you should give Music Man a call, or simply go there. They have all the supplies you could possibly need, and some of the best music instructors in the area. These people are passionate about education, and music.
Great atmosphere. Willling to work with families and students. Awesome facility!!!!
They have always been very helpful and informative
A little store. Good for this town!
I’ve called twice to ask questions about beginner piano music. No answer and no one returned my voicemail. Their website also isn’t helpful in clarifying my questions. Wish they were more responsive.
16. Drummersonly Drum Shop
Address: 1532 SE Village Green Dr, Port St. Lucie, FL 34952 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Very cool place a lot of equipment with some great prices.
Always has stuff I want or need
Anything drum related this is definitely the place!!
Lots of new & used kits and accessories.Bought complete set of Mapex birch drums that are in great shape.Also my go to for cymbals,sticks and whatever I need.Check them out.
Stopped in as I was passing by to find out if they would be interested in purchasing an incomplete drum set that I’ve had in the garage for way too long. They were very friendly and offered to buy any drum items that I may have.
The picture of the girl on the door scares me
Very rude, inconsiderate, and discouraging guy who works there
Owner was quite rude. Prices are quite high. I believe in supporting local small businesses, but you’re better off shopping online unless you want to pay top dollar.
17. Sounds Good Music
Address: 8619 S U.S. Hwy 1, River Park, FL 34952 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
OMGOODNESS! Our first visit here. They have a large selection of vintage and new vinyl including Christian music. The staff is helpful, knowledgeable and so friendly. Love this store!
A+++
Went in looking for a needle for a turntable from 1965. They explained exactly what they needed to see in order to get me the correct part. Brought it in and they had one in stock. Turntable now works great. The selection of vinyl they have is awesome as well. Thank you.
Wasn’t impressed
Good selection of new and used vinyl.they have decent prices.cool store.
Great selection of vinyl records love this place
Extreemly rude
They have a very limited selection of music.
When I found the store I thought it was absolutely wonderful then I met the owner and he was not real easy to talk to. The prices are reasonable on the used records and the conditions are usually very good or better. The new records are way overpriced . You can get much better prices for new records at other places like Best Buy or Amazon. I’ve gone to the store about eight times and bought a dozen records and each experience that I had with the staff was not easy they’re difficult to talk to and the last time I went I got yelled at for looking at records that didn’t have prices on them right next to their bargain wagon. I don’t recommend the store and I probably will never go back just because of the customer service. It’s sad really because the store has so much potential if they could just learn to talk to people.
18. McNulty’s Sports Cards & Memorabilia LLC
Address: 1540 NW Federal Hwy, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Just left McNulty’s! Scored some top 2022 baseball card boxes along with great deals. Glad to see they have the new stuff in stock along with Pokémon cards. We will definitely be making another trip back. If you haven’t been, please go check it out you won’t be disappointed.
Took my son to trade in Pokémon cards great staff very friendly we will definitely be back
Nice place, tons of sports memorabilia, very helpful staff
Big selection.
I don’t keep showing up on a Sunday! Lies lies lies !Simply untrue!This place is completely terrible! They like to waste your time! Go elsewhere where you’re respected. Every single time I go in there I leave mad because they deliberately wasted my time. I know I know “ ho elsewhere then” but I don’t want to. I live a mile away and shouldn’t have to but now I have no choice.
19. The Roasted Record Coffee and Vinyl
Address: 600 S Colorado Ave, Stuart, FL 34994 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Great coffee drinks! The pastries aren’t to my liking which is disappointing (bring back the pies!) but the coffee is solid!
Real good coffee. Made the right way.
Go Chelsea
If you are really serious about coffee, look no further! Mike and Stef take their passion for excellent bean, roasting, and brewing to the next level. Fair warning, if you try a bag of these beans, you WILL be spoiled for life.
I’ve been here twice now, and the first time was amazing! Great coffee and friendly service. However, today it was subpar. First of all, there were way too many maskless people inside (a lot of small shops now have a limit to at least appear safer), and the employee who helped me was also maskless. Two customers before me were treated friendly, however, when I asked for a 16 oz. iced latte with hazelnut and peppermint flavor, I was given a 24 oz. latte with (what tasted like) no flavor. I returned and said “Hi, sorry, but I don’t taste any flavor in here” and the employee looked extremely annoyed, said “I put flavor in there,” and then put more flavor in my drink and handed it back to me saying “Maybe next time you should ask for extra flavor.”
Extremery good coffee, great staff.
Good coffee and nice atmosphere inside. Be nice if they would have at least 1 more different kind of coffee to choose from ready to go as there has only been 1 every time I’ve been there. You can still get a pour over of whatever flavor you want if you have the extra time. Staff is pleasant and the menu has some good looking stuff if you are looking for a bit more than the regular cafe items.
Only cons so far are it’d be nice if their mochas tasted a bit better. Not a big fan of whatever mocha they use.
The atmosphere is nice but it’s a small building so it’s a bit cramped inside which is exacerbated by the fact that 1 part of the building is reserved for listening to records.
Good news is that they just announced they have acquired a bigger building and hope to move in by sometime next year. Looking forward to it
Not a very welcoming atmosphere
I don’t know where all of these reviews came from. But we hated the coffee from this place, watery, and bitter! Both my father and myself threw the coffee out and ended up at the googan coffee shop for a way better experience. It was so disappointing because we loved the location and look of the coffee shop. We truly came in wanting to love it!
The coffee was bitter and a brand that is available in most grocery stores. The price reflected a more specialized brew.
20. Hot Topic
Address: 3418 NW Federal Hwy RM 124, Jensen Beach, FL 34957 , North River Shores , Florida , United States
Always a fun environment, organized, employees are all super chill. Shout out to Caitlyn and Thea.
Loved this store since I was like 12 XD
Have a big variety of stuff to choose from.
Sales are not ad good anymore, product declining
Lots of jewelry, trendy clothes & accessories from popular shows or movies. Cool t-shirts & backpacks. The staff is usually helpful & kind too!
To trendy and horrible looking people
Place looks about as hollowed out as the Halloween section at Big Lots in September
Eh. Hot topic isnt what it used to be. I used to go there for the band merchandise and music and stuff for metal and rock bands. They dont have much anymore and its suddenly filled with k-pop which is not what hot topic is about. Very disappointing to see less of the darker stuff from hot topic. Well most of the time the employees are friendly and helpful but my recent visit we walked in and an employee walked right past us with no hello at all… And again im still disappointed with the change in merchandise….
