They had Joni Mitchell “Blue”! I seriously needed this!
They have good customer service and they are good about Special orders.
The owner is really nice, Amazing selection of cd’s and vinyl, and the only thing i disliked was the fact that they didnt have ride the lightning, but they had st anger. i guess people got to the good stuff before me lol
This place is alright. Mix of comics, CDs & records. Prices are on the high end of retail, but it was kinda expected as the area is a really busy tourist area. If you’re familiar with the current market you could find some stuff at a decent price.
Great selection and pricing of vinyl, but need more R & B!!
A lot to choose from. Guitar strings, harmonicas, CDs and LPs.
I stood at the counter waiting to check out the employee was with customer the new owner keep walking by with his dog he see me standing there he doesn’t come over to cash me out I waited for about 10 minutes waiting for someone to come over lame service
Horrible customer service….. just the worst
Would not sell me a record over the phone when they had just one left…… I offered my credit card ….. just hold it for me and they said no….. first come first served….. I was at work and wasn’t going to be out for a while ….. but their customer service was to not help a dude out.
I would never spend my money at this location.
Cute gifts and books with a convenient post office in the back. Nice atmosphere
Love this place. Good selection of books. Great gifts ideas galore. Nice clerks. The dude who was working in there at Christmastime was super personable. Didn’t get his name…
Very nice ladies. Extremely fair on trade ins on books. Convenient. I get lost in there fpr hrs
Great selection of hard to find books. Good prices and a postal office inside.
6/13/19 Edited after owner reply: I’d heard about this bookstore a few months back and was excited to check it out this past Monday.
The atmosphere is classic for a bookstore- stacks of books creating a literary maze you could get lost in, and with trinkets of all sorts along the way.
For the beach and wine lovers, this place is a goldmine for unique gift ideas. I was impressed with their variety and amount of Hallmark-inspired items you wouldn’t find anywhere else.
Their book selection was impressive too. There was a huge variety of fiction and local St. Augustine books, and one side of shelves contained hundreds of nonfiction and memoirs. The only section I didn’t see was a kids area. There was a good mix of new and used books, and the used had very little wear.
This book shop also serves as a post office, and the clientele was split between those racing in and out for the mail services, and those meandering the aisles perusing books.
The staff were very helpful, but are located all the way at the back of the store.
Overall- great selection, and upon hearing back from the owners here on Google Reviews, great communication. I think I was accidentally charged for a used book at a new price which led me to the incorrect assumption about their pricing. Accidents happen, but I appreciate the owners willingness to reply to my review and mention their pricing policies.
I came to this store for every gift and nicknack, and have used the post office quite often in the past 3 years.
But today I saw SEVERAL people enter the store without a mask. I didn’t feel comfortable walking in, so I called and asked if they are requiring masks inside the store. NO. Was the answer.
Well, you just lost my business and the business of my family. It’s disgusting that you’d put mine and anyone else’s lives at risk by not requiring customers to wear a mask.
Aside from the fact that 4 out of 5 women that work there are rude.
I have frequented this used bookstore/post office quite frequentlly in the last 3 yrs.
I was happy to hear that it was under new ownership..new owners are friendly & the atmosphere is now much more pleasant.. however I am very concerned that 1 of the employees still refuses to wear a mask..my understanding is that there is now a law/mandate that masks are required in federal buildings & since you have a post office I think this new mandate applies to you.
This employee is also rude to me as well as other customers.
I will try 1 more time but if she refuses to wear a mask it will be my last time.

I highly recommend Michelle! Very professional & talented. Easy to work with. Responded to my initial inquiry right away. I am so happy to have my piano working again & I will definitely call Michelle again if I need anything in the future.
Michelle did a fantastic job with our Estonia piano. The piano’s tone seemed to ‘pop’ back after hearing her play when she finished the tuning. In addition to being a consummate professional, Michelle gave great advice and tips about caring for the piano.
Michelle and Ako were professional, friendly, and thorough with the tuning service. Excellent service! Will choose again!
Can’t speak to her tuning abilities, as we never got past the phone call. Her manner was very short and rude when I was inquiring for her service.

I try to stop here as often as possible, very nice thrift store and the owner is both helpful and friendly. I try to visit here as often as I can and you never know what you will find here. I found a very nice pair of shoes that I purchased for a fair price. Lots of cute trinkets, unique items that other thrift stores do not have. I brought quite a few items here for decoration and have never been disappointed. Very happy!
A small modest thrift store, it’s tightly packed with goods which I would consider a plus. The person who’s always at the checkout register is always very kind.
Excellent food
Lovely little place. Owner is really friendly.
Small store with limited things to look at but it did have a few things we picked up!
Hard to see on crowded racks
Don’t bother.
Hours state that they are open until 6pm. I drove about 20 minutes to visit this store and when I got here at 5:10 pm, they were closed. Apparently they close early whenever they want. Don’t make a special trip to come here.
12. Dollar General
Address: 4010 US-1 Ste 6, St. Augustine, FL 32086 , Saint Augustine Shores , Florida , United States
Good people working there. Manager is very friendly and helpful. Great prices
I like this Dollar General. The employees here are always friendly and helpful
Close to home, clean and well stocked and friendly ,helpful employees
Store is clean and shelves are stocked. Credit goes to the hard working and very pleasantly nice employees. They have the zapps brand potato chips and good deals
Usually has what you need and is always close by.
whats there to say? its a dollar general.
could be cleaner, but it wasn’t like it was grimey or disgusting.
staff is nice though.
i only wish they would enforce the mask policies more closely.
Hours have changed they are closed at 6 in the evening
I had just got out of hospital and wasn’t thinking properly.
What I like about this store is the variety. What I didn’t like was the prices. A bit on the high end. Obviously catering to the tourists. The girl who worked there wasn’t very helpful. I was the only person in the store and she seemed to be too busy on the phone to assist. Parking is an issue there as well. It’s free if your shopping at the store, but $10 if you go to next door. The lot attendant watches you like a hawk. Made me uncomfortable.
Nice place but for me the selection didn’t have enough metal. I did buy something so check it out!
Very cool little shop. Feels like the set from that 70’s show. Huge collection of Vinyl. Wishing I had a record player.
EDIT: The below review is a reply to the message below it
1. Yes, I did place the order on Discogs.
2. No, they didn’t send a color (orange) LP. Standard black, unlike what was advertised.
3. True, I couldn’t be bothered to go through the whole process of shipping back and forth, so I kept the record. They messed up in the past, and made me pay for shipping; so I didn’t trust they wouldn’t try that again. To be fair this was an assumption on my part
4. No full refund was offered, we didn’t get that far. I told them I was cutting my losses
5. My review on Discogs did not include derogatory language or false information. This is a lie and, ironically, “libelous”; a word that he seems to throw around without actually knowing what it means. I did throw the word loser around in a private message, but that wasn’t public (until now).
6. His negative feedback of me on Discogs was also removed. My rating on that site stands at 100% positive (20 reviews)
7. Petty? Maybe, but who cares? I have another account, and didn’t realize I hadn’t switched to it. Oh well
8. I told them I would never return as a customer, and so he tries to hold the last laugh by banning me. So what? Good riddance
The reason for this review is to rightfully state my experience with Tonevendor. On more than one occasion they messed up. I was not satisfied with their service, and they don’t get to tell me what I can (or can’t) state in a review. I see “rude” listed on other reviews here, and I wholeheartedly agree. That would sum up my experience. What’s funny is that he will say I am the rude one, and that I’m a “nightmare to work with” customer. Why I am I spending this much time on one review? Because there seems to be an injustice here that I don’t vibe with, so I am sharing my experience. Thanks
I was in on Monday July 25th two employees behind the counter. My advice to any business , especially a small one is to speak to your customers say hello, lookin for anything in particular. No other customers in store so the staff just ignored us. We visited 3 other stores in the Jacksonville st augustine area and walked very happy and a freezer bag full of records. I have never had to write a bad review for any business in St. Augustine, it a great town with great folks.
Terrible. The most unpleasant experience I’ve ever had on discogs. Mistakes happen but the way these people handle it is disgusting. They are arrogant, unapologetic, whiney and selfish. I paid shipping both ways to correct their mistake. Never again.
15. St. Augustine Music Lessons
Address: 5496 A1A S, St. Augustine, FL 32080 , Saint Augustine Shores , Florida , United States
One of the kindest and most accomplished people I’ve know. Highly recommended.
David is a wonderful instructor and really gives the extra effort to make sure you get the most out of your experience! Highly recommend for aspiring musicians and professionals alike!
Mr. David has been an awesome influence on my child. We went to many local “rock schools” and they all followed the same formula for teaching. David has catered his lessons to my son’s aspirations and has kept each lesson interesting. I recommend David to anybody who is looking to learn guitar.

These guys do production and recording for major acts and still treat the local artists right… super cool people!
I hired the professionals at Toes in the Sand for a corporate event . It was my first time co-ordinating such an event. With their expertise….the venue looked and sounded great!
