Premium music shops of Stafford: Our Top-10 selection

Friendly and accommodating

Best instructors ever here.

I love it their every time I go

This place is so cool, I feel inspired to make awesome music and I don’t even play!

You’re better off going somewhere else. Owner knows nothing about music.

Stay away of this Karen. Never again. Worst experience ever. No longer her problem. Think twice before you do any business with this Karen.

Always takes care of me! If I need something done on my vehicles, my family and I know who to call.

Guys gotta come in and check out there forever changing line of cars! They also have literally everything under the sun for sale buy or trade!

Great people! Great place! Was at the end of my rope with my rear engine riding mower. Three people looked at it and shook their heads! Couldn’t fix it! Couldn’t find a good used one. They picked it up in the afternoon and shortly thereafter had the solution. Amazing people! And extremely reasonable $$! They are on my favorite list for sure

If I’m being honest I truly liked the old Simon Says in Stafford more than the new one but, I’m glad that they’re still open

I’ve gotten some great deals here, although many items are overpriced. I wouldn’t recommend selling here. As an experienced seller of pre-owned goods myself, they offered me less than 15% of my item’s USED worth on two separate occasions. For example, they offered $10 for an item I later sold on Craigslist for for $95.

Shady

People are liars and cheats stay away!!!!!would never send any person there

Horrible place don’t bring your car here. He deleted his bad reviews. He sells lemon cars and Jimmy rigs cars. All ready reported to BBB.

These guys are great. Always very friendly and helpful.

Great selection of disposable vapes. Guy was really nice and offered to order exactly what I was looking for but ended up finding it in the shop.

Place is awesome with very friendly staff. Made sure I left happy and had great recommendations for flavors.

Small and not a big selection but prices aren’t bad and they have the brands I like.

Always helpful. I couldn’t find my favorite juice in a 6, so the man behind the counter blended one up for me! A little bit of everything. Not a great location and parking is strictly on the street.

Basically a vape shop. They don’t maintain a decent inventory of anything else. Not worth the trip for pipes or cigars.

Negative experience from the beginning. Felt unwanted in the shop the moment I walked in the door . I greeted the larger set gentleman who had dark hair as I walked into the store , no response . I asked where my sweet and savory honey berry cigars were . The response a mere wave of the hand in a non general specific direction , the phrase “over there “ was mumbled . Might I add not because of the mask . It was a lack of effort . I also asked for 2 packages of zig zags . I was lied to in a very deceitful manner . I was told the zig zags were fresh , they were not . I didn’t refund for the other zig zag packages I bought , note I didn’t leave the store when I found out they were stale . It seems as if he doesn’t want any returning customers . He is rude and made my experience at this store a terrible one . He stated he was the owner , but why would an owner of a store be rude if you want a returning customer . If I could give 0 stars on interaction at this terrible establishment I would . Don’t go here while this large set Dark haired gentleman is working .

Bought a vape pen from this place. Literally on its first charge half way through it stopped working. Tried charging it more, different carts, nothing worked. It was defective. Went to the store to see if they could swap it out or get a store credit, they did absolutely nothing. Told me there’s nothing they can do aside from give me a discount on buying another one. Wasn’t interested in helping what so ever. Product is garbage and the people working there are even worse.

Their vape juice is tampered with and they sell used and/or refilled vape juice bottles which is a scam and extremely dangerous. If you’re a smoker looking to start vaping absolutely do not come here and if you currently vape do not come here for juice, you don’t know what you’re putting in your lungs and what’s actually in the bottles you purchase.

The photos posted contain the bottle I’ve just bought from here next to a bottle I bought from an actual reputable smoke shop. They are identical brands and flavors being kiwi from the NOMS brand, I always buy this brand and am extremely familiar with it. First I noticed how dark the bottle was and immediately knew something was wrong as NOMS nic juices are never this dark. NOMS juice when new and unopened will always be a light almost clear yellow color which you can see is true from the less filled lighter colored bottle I already had, but the bottle I bought from this shop is a dark orange which means the juice has either been opened for several months to oxidize this much or has been tampered with and refilled which is extremely dangerous as I don’t know what it’s been refilled with. Next I went to open the bottle and to my surprise it opened with no effort when I know from experience NOMS seals are always difficult to break when they are brand new, but this cap came right off telling me it’s definitely already been opened. NOMS juice bottles when unopened will be filled to the brim but you can see this dark bottle of liquid is already missing liquid all the way down to the bottom of the twist cap when it’s supposed to be filled completely to the top. Extremely dangerous practice this is how people end up in the hospital as I do not know if this bottle was just opened and used already (which is still a scam because I paid for a new unopened product not something you guys “tested”), or if it has been siphoned out and refilled with a harmful mixture that I don’t know. I was not given a receipt but as you can see from other reviews they don’t offer any returns or trade-ins either anyways only discounts on your next purchase which is ludicrous because that would likely be tampered with too. I’ve never felt like I needed to check a bottle of juice before purchasing it but thanks to this experience I will always be doing so from now on, no reputable business would require you to do this and no reputable business would sell products like this in my opinion. Extremely disappointed with this experience as the man who was working was very kind and helped me find the brand I was looking for, now I feel like the smile on his face was because he knew he was selling me a tampered with bottle. If they’d offer trade-ins or refunds I would be less upset but still wouldn’t return here.

Best Crystal shop around! The owner is extremely friendly and knowledgeable, too. Highly recommend!!

Very clean, and the owner charlette is a kind soul! Highly recommend going in, you won’t regret it!

Adore this shop! The owner knows her stuff and puts her whole heart into it. One of my new fav shops in Stafford!

Reply to owner. The prices here are very high compared to the other places I shop. That being said it seems that all the shops popping up are in it for the same reason.

Run of the mill pop up crystal store.

Reply to owner. That’s the way it felt

We are always very happy stopping here for breakfast. Coffee and tea is great, can’t go wrong with their sandwichs. We always sit in the little park area across the street at the picnic tables.

If you ever find yourself in Stafford Springs Connecticut you have to come here. There isn’t a lot to do in this town so this is the go to place. They are celiac safe, the gluten free grilled cheese was really good. The gluten free bagel was decent enough. But, no matter what you have to try their gluten free cookie, it’s to die for. I love the atmosphere it just brings me joy. The staff is super friendly and I just had such a good time both times I went!

Dietary restrictions: Celiac safe and gluten free safe. A must visit in the area

Delicious food and great beverages. Wonderful staff. Highly recommended!

Not enough tables never any place to sit friends and I used to go every other Sunday for coffee the last two times we ended up at D&D ( nothing wrong with that but not the same ) I wish they had a bigger menu for lunch. Very friendly employee s very up beat My tuna was a little dry my last visit but the blueberry muffins were great

My daughter and I went for brunch, she had an egg sandwich and I had a veggie wrap AND it was so delicious ( as you can see in the picture where im stuffing my face ) I should have gotten 2
It was beautiful outside so we had a picnic. I think adding some small tables on the sidewalk or some where would be an awesome addition to this cute little coffee shop

Small and quaint, friendly staff. Food appeared to be good but the caramel latte hit the spot.

Don’t waste your time standing in line to get mediocre overpriced food. Coffee is fine which gives you two stars but I called in an order and it wasn’t there when I got there so don’t try to save a minute by calling in your order.

Walked in having had been here before the new owners. Nothing bad, nothing good just “Eh” . 1~Mocha latte had a scant of cocoa and it was warm and flat.
2~Huevos ranchers wrap would have been great if only it was hot.
3~Learn Math! It’s important to be confident in a job where .$.05 doesn’t break your brain.
I will definitely come again. I’m also confident you will succeed.

Clean store. Coffee tea latte whatever your drinking is over priced. And the bagels are gooey not crispy outside at all. I make homemade and in comparison these, are not good. I asked for a sausage egg chez on a jalapeño cheddar bagel. The sausage looked like aduile sausage slices length wise making the sandwich difficult to eat. I kept loosing my meat!! Wont be back

I had my month-old acoustic guitar set-up by Matty. He lowered the strings, put lighter-gauge strings on, and rubbed a little oil on, too. All in one day, at a great price!!! It feels and sounds great! Also, he plays the guitar really well, and I’ll most likely take lessons from him.

Great place for lessons! Matty is super friendly and will go out of his way to help you!

awesome place good affordable prices allowing my band to play in the jam room, and he is a very nice and funny person, if I could rate more than 5 stars I would, I definitely recommend Matty’s music

Great service.

Dirty, stuff everywhere, completely disorganized.

Incredibly delicious. Great job guys. Keep up the good work and thanks for a fantastic banna split

Really good ice cream!!!

The best milkshake so far in Connecticut

Great ice cream and soda. However the cups appear to be too big for the servings.

Nice that there is non-dairy ice cream for lactose intolerant kids.

Absolutely a wonderful little gem, I live a hour away and let me be the 1st to say that I would absolutely drive a hour to satisfy my ice cream craving. This is the best Ice Cream Place

We love this place have been here many times. Went this evening really looking forward to it. Website states open till 9pm but already closed at 7:20pm

Shouldn’t give the one star dut did to make a decision on the service I got when asked to have 2 soft serve ice cream in a cup with hot fudge and the other with Carmel you know a Sunday reply was O wecant do that folded my wallet and sed good by I like the way they treat me as a regular lol

They advertise they close at 9pm on Sundays but at 820pm they were closed and counting money, and ignored the request to be served

Great Place.Awesome Teachers

I’ve been doing business with Scott at the music shop for years, he knows about the needs of musicians and great on any repairs or just info on your current instrument. Will hopefully be doing many more years here.

Very knowledgeable and friendly staff.

Great place but website could be better such as pics of some used equipment. I’m a drummer and would like to see what they have for new and used cymbals,stands,drum kits etc. And prices. I have done business with them and always had a great experience the reason for three stars is the website doesn’t do the music shop justice. All and all great store great people.

The cellos were in not in good shape and we had to pay a luthiere to redo repairs that were poorly done when we received the instrument.

Great service! Nice friendly owner

Quality music school with a professional and trustworthy staff.

Came here for some guitar strings and the employee was super awesome

My daughter is signed up for lessons and her teacher is great (I hear the others are as well). Just try not to deal with the guy that owns it.

Very knowledgeable and friendly.

I tried to return my daughter’s Viola due to the school no longer providing classes. It was a total nightmare to get an answer in regards to my credit. They are very irresponsible and I am very disappointed by the lack of care towards my return which was even misplaced! Mom and dad are not helpful at all and he should really look at keeping them home, they make things worse!

Arrived at 10:00am (they open at 10am, but not today). I waited and they finally arrived. All I needed was guitar strings, but they had none. What a waste of time.
