We always come in here after eating on a date, good book selection.
Could spend all day. Friendly relaxed and comfortable shopping love me some books
good book selection and friendly staff
This location was a little confusing to me when it came to the alphabetical order of the books, it could just be me though. Coffee was yummy so I’m happy
Had what I needed, employees very helpful.
Book selection is good, staff friendly, coffee is undrinkable though.
This location is awful. BaM has been advertising educators week all over the place, 25% off entire purchase and a free coffee from 2-4. So we drive 40 minutes to our closest location. Even the announcements at the store are advertising the 25% off. Go to checkout, and they claim the deal is only for classroom materials, which is normal for an educator card, they refused to give us any discount on anything we purchased since we said nothing was for the classroom.
Kinda crappy but alright. Go over to the coffee and they have no clue about any educator week at all and refused the free coffee.. Basically no one here knows what’s going on, and that is the supervisor and management’s fault.
Never going back.
You can’t find anything in the store, staff is not helpful at all!!
Not a lot of actual books in here. More like an airport convenience store book section, just a bunch of topical junk. You’ll never find any of the classics here. Nothing worth reading to illuminate the mind.
4. Goodwill – Viera
Address: 1965 Viera Blvd, Rockledge, FL 32955 , Viera West , Florida , United States
Love this store, very clean and nice stuff! Great people running this place!
Awesome store
They had all the clothes organized in sections and by colors.
Blahhhhhh
I like the new location and the store settings
I see that the prices have increased quite a bit and the selection has been better, but if you’re looking for a wide variety of items, come daily.
Worst Goodwill I’ve ever been to. Everything is 5x the price of what it should be. Visit as a joke just to laugh at the prices for entertainment.
The prices are absolutely ridiculous! They want $8 for a broken used iPhone 6 case. There is so much junk they want crazy prices for. This is just one example. Total ripoff.
Wish I could do zero stars. Everything was so overpriced, overwhelmingly packed. Walked up to the register two ladies gossiping at the counter, took a minute for the one lady to rudely exclaim “can I help you?” Then the second lady said oh checkout and finally went over to the register. Very disappointing.
5. Walmart Supercenter
Address: 8500 N Wickham Rd, Melbourne, FL 32940 , Viera West , Florida , United States
Way better then the Merritt Island store when it comes to everything!!
Understaffed. People working here just do not seem to care.
Self checkout and shelf prices are not even close…inventory was a joke..I have to go 10 miles further to a supposedly worse area. But it runs 10 times better than the one less than a mile from house..the extra gas is cheaper than all the money stolen from me with the prices mismatched.
Because of covid they completely rearrange the place and made the aisles very very small and there’s only one or two people that I’ve known there for the past 15 years that I like the basically everybody is pretty much rude especially the people that go there and don’t wear masks
Its clean. But the guy that rang up my stuff took forever and didn’t seem like he knew what he was doing. Oh yeah. Cuz it was me!! I cant stand walart because they never have cashiers todo this for you anymore. If i want to be stuck here for hours ringing up stuf,id apply for a job…i didnt even get paid for being a cashier!!!
6. Office Depot
Address: 6729 Colonnade Ave, Melbourne, FL 32940 , Viera West , Florida , United States
Always great service and good product selection at good prices.
Nice location. Nice clean store
Oscar at the copy center was amazing!!!
Very helpful employees. Answered my questions quickly and got the product I needed.
The customer service here sucks. I sent some documents (job related) to print for a coworker and the lady at the printing area had a bad attitude and was not very helpful. She said that he needed to wait if not to come back tomorrow. I think if you work at customer service area you need to be a little bit more understanding with the people. Called and spoke with the manager and also he had a bad attitude, saying that he would transfer me to the printing area, he couldn’t resolve the issue.
Next time, pleaseeee be a little bit more comprehensive with customers!!!!!
I had to go to the Viera store 4 times to get my printing order completed. First I tried online, but decided I needed to go to the store to understand the weights of papers…we decided on 100. Then the salesperson said it would be easier to do the order from home and upload my pdf. I did that, but none of my credit cards would work. So, I went back to the store and hard THE HARDEST TIME getting the salesperson to understand what was going on. I finally had to convince him to just cancel my order and start a new one. We got that done, but the next day a woman called to say they couldn’t print 2-sided on 100 wt paper. Why didn’t they know that when building my order in-store? I asked if 80 would work, she said yes, and off we went. I went to pick up the order later and all was fine, until I got home and realized they never gave me back my flash drive. So, back for a 4th time. In the end, I was so glad I didn’t get the 100 wt paper.
I tried calling for help with an order the curbside pickup woman said she would transfer me to manager never got an answer after calling back 3 times
7. Studio 101
Address: 2825 Business Ctr Blvd # B7, Melbourne, FL 32940 , Viera West , Florida , United States
Great store! Best place for Martin Guitars! They are very fair and will give you the best deal! I have done quite a bit of business with them and I always leave very satisfied with the transaction whether it be a purchase or a trade. Must check out for all musicians in the Brevard area!
Great place for instruments , awesome staff , I wouldn’t shop anywhere else
Great place to shop for musical instruments. Fair prices and knowledgeable staff. Gene and Kevin make you feel at home.
Gene and…Kevin? are cool guys. I get a bit of a push-to-sell vibe from Gene, but that’s no surprise. Got to make money to eat and grow the business. Wish they had a proper luthier in-store and maybe a sound test room, but lot of good selection for merchandise.
Knowledgeable
Live music? Wow
Came looking for a case for an odd-sized guitar, found a live sit-in jam session, how delightful.
Owners were friendly and knowledgeable. My case was out of stock, he was happy to order more in. All in all, a great little shop.
Rude, overpriced and racist. Avoid.
I came into this store looking for an openback claw hammer banjo. This man tried to sell me everything but. He tried to sell me his bluegrass banjos and then a 4 string banjo!! He told me i could clawhammer on a 4 string just fine! Evidently he doesn’t know much about banjos.
Prices are ridiculous.
$40 for a drum head that is less than $30.
Drumsticks were $20 when others sold them for $12.
10. Marion Music
Address: 4970 Stack Blvd #B3, Melbourne, FL 32901 , Viera West , Florida , United States
Bruce Marion’s Music Store Great guitars I am very Happy with the two I bought Great select,you can’t beat his prices, Very good selection of amps hard to find stuff ,5 stars
They took in my sax sent it away and I got it back in a week works way better
A neighborhood music store with some knowledgeable employees.
Very old school but sociable.
Great place and Friendly service every time I visit there.
Went in for an acoustic replacement part and the guy gave me a part for another guitar that was close but not right. Being an instrument shop, the guy should know what works and what doesn’t…or at least what to look for, for compatibility. It’s no big deal that I wasted the time and money…it’s the lack of knowledge from their part. I’m going to measure everything myself and order online, cheaper.
Also, come on, guys, every time I’ve gone in there (over 9 years) it’s always the same…dirty and dusty with a bunch of used unorganized crap everywhere. There are always people just sitting around and talking. I’m all for a cool hang out, but how about getting up off your butts and working your store a little. You have so much room and stuff, clear it out, clean it, and put it back in a better/improved way.
Lastly, your used acoustic guitars are miserable. I understand they’re used…but your prices are high and every guitar I looked at had major issue (cracks in the sound board or missing electronics with gaping holes).
Local shops are being killed by Amazon and the online retailers…you’re not helping to motivate us local musicains to support local shops. You could be the best in Brevard…but you need to do something and better yourselves.
Super nice guys but when I tried to trade my mint esp 1000 deluxe with case and a marshall amp with a footswitch for a $512 takamine acoustic guitar they also told me they wanted 400 bucks. I get they are a business but didn’t know they were trying to straight up butcher me on the trade. On the phone the dude named Mike told Bruce that my ESP is selling for 700. Kinda wrong imo. Nice people though
This place is a rip off….cost me 60 dollars to have my 12 string worked on and when I got it home the electronics still didn’t work and when I complained about it all I got was a runaround. They wanted 150 dollars to replace the pre amp in the guitar and I told then no way. I went on ebay and bought the pre amp for $8.83 and it took me about an hour to fix it. Also the brand new strings they charged me for were all corroded. Beware of this place I will never ever do business with them again. Twice they have ripped me off.
11. Brass & Reed Music/ Repair
Address: Upstairs Last Door Facing East, 255 Fortenberry Rd STE A2, Merritt Island, FL 32952 , Viera West , Florida , United States
I brought Charlie today a flugelhorn I am considering selling to see whether it needed any repairs. The horn belonged to one of my children. Charlie thoroughly looked over the instrument and advised me that it was in excellent condition. He was extremely knowledgeable and very honest. I strongly recommend this business.
Charles knows his stuff and is very helpful. A few years ago, he was the only repair shop open on a Saturday and he replaced a broken spring on my sax in a matter of minutes, to enable me to perform that evening. This week, while he was replacing another spring on the same sax, he performed a bumper-to-bumper tuneup on that sax, and another sax I left with him. He found issues with each sax that I was unaware of and got both of them playing better than ever. He renders prompt, courteous service at fair prices. I’ll be taking my instruments to him again in the future.
The gentleman here is phenomenal! Fixed my son’s clarinet keys in all but ten minutes. My son is happy and that makes this momma happy! Also he is affordable.
Well knowledgeable and helpful
12. Justin Walker – Voice, Guitar, and Piano Lessons
Just tried Bold Cup Coffee for the first time and what a treat! The coffee menu is creative, the service is genuine and friendly, and the atmosphere is uplifting and relaxing : )
Coffee and food is great!
Refreshingly cheery staff, which is hard to come by these days! I wish I could recall her name, but she was very polite, and made a delicious cortado. I intend on making it a point to stop in any time I’m in the area. Well worth it.
Was fine. Only had iced coffee.
Expensive and not impressed with facility…
Delicious selections and cozy atmosphere
Possibly the worst coffee I’ve ever had in my life. Espresso tasted like water.
We ordered 3 iced chai lattes and they all tasted horrible. They tasted like spicy water. I tipped and paid $6 for something I immediately threw in the trash.
Over 5.00 for a cup of coffee
15. Music & Arts
Address: 1408 Highland Ave, Melbourne, FL 32935 , Viera West , Florida , United States
The Horn Section is the ONLY music store I frequent and my entire family are musicians! They are SO school-student friendly beginning in elementary school with instrument rental, rent-to-own, instrument repair, private lessons, and purchasing of any additional products or music! Every employee is knowledgeable, friendly, clean, and sober…no yicky bar musicians! They also volunteer as well as support different music programs and performances in the area. THANK YOU!
Both my children rent their instruments from here. Very friendly and helpful staff
The go to place for all your band instrument needs
Great place for kids to learn music. I have 2 taking lessons here and they are performing at a very level and considering i have no music ability im giving all the credit to their lessons
It has almost everything you could need for your instrument but doesn’t have a very wide selection for mouthpieces
Friendly, offer one on one lessons, kids love Tiki the dog.
You’d think when you’re paying $25 a month for a used plastic clarinet you’d at least get decent customer service. I was told that my clarinet, that had been damaged and sounded awful since the moment I opened it, was extremely damaged (obviously) and when she asked what I did to it I told her I had no idea as I’d barely played it and it was this way when I opened the case when I received it. She then told me “Think hard honey because all our instruments are shipped in perfect condition.” Clearly untrue. I will not be giving business to this company again. Very overpriced and rude.
Edit:
As I’m reading through others reviews I see many people have had this same issue with the same woman I had an issue with. I hope the owner notices this and takes proper action.
We now purchase our supplies and music books online because of the rude older sales lady. Sad to see other reviews posted about her and she still works there.
Ordered an instrument, charged for instrument, after 2 weeks and multiple calls and sitting on hold for 45 mins was informed they have no idea when I would receive my instrument. And my refund will take 3-4 weeks.
16. Target
Address: 8455 N Wickham Rd, Melbourne, FL 32940 , Viera West , Florida , United States
The stores clean, the associates are friendly, and the prices are still reasonable.
I like Palm Bay Hammocks Landing!
Easy in and out
The service is great
One stop shopping
Nobody would pick up the phone is guest services for more than 35 min. I finally got someone in electronics to go get someone to pick up the phone. When someone did the guy was not apologetic or even sympathetic and did not offer me his name even though I asked. Walmart service at Target prices. No thank you
The cashiers are friendly and helpful, the floor personnel are always professional but the store Managers have a defensive attitude and they are not willing to be helpful or accommodate.
What in the world you go to the store to buy a baguette and they only have a RROZEN like hard Rick, we deserve better products , my question is
Are they old ??? No fear
17. AT&T Store
Address: 2250 Town Center Ave Suite 123, Melbourne, FL 32940 , Viera West , Florida , United States
Originally my experience here was not the best and I was going to go to a different AT&T store to have a different store assist me with my with my phone. However when I went into this store again just to pick up my phone, I was greeted by Nick, who not only gave me 5 star customer care, he told me that I would not leave until all of my issues were taken care of. He took care of all of my issues that the previous rep did not do. If you are lucky enough to get Nick when you go to the store, you will definitely get the best customer care from him, with a smile. I appreciate his patience and willingness to take care of everything for me! Nick is the BEST!
Very good experience
Outstanding customer service!!! Dave was great!!!
High turn over rate, like to go there but, now only one to two employees, Dylan was a valuable employee
This store people have always been very helpful and friendly… thank you
Not too helpful
Went to this location to physically look at the different iPhone 13’s to determine which size I wanted before buying. Once I determined, I asked if they had the standard 13 in stock. When told no, I asked if there was any difference in ordering in store vs online. Both employees said I should order in store because it will arrive in 2 days vs 10 days if I order online.
After 1 hour of both AT&T employees trying to scan my drivers license on three different iPads, I was told “sorry we are unable to order your phone in store”.
Very rude and condescending staff. Will never go there again. May switch to verizon.
Terrible, couldn’t fix any of my 3 issues.
18. Premier Music
Address: 1389 Cypress Ave, Melbourne, FL 32935 , Viera West , Florida , United States
I bought a piano from Frank at premier. I loved this small local piano store. His price was very reasonable and he was very kind and helpful. One month later Chris came over and did a tuneup. My piano sounds beautiful! I couldn’t be more pleased
Decent pianos at a decent price.
I have purchased 5 pianos and 4 guitars from Premier music over a time span of 4 years. I upgraded my first grand piano purchase after 8 months and got an excellent trade-in price for my next piano. I did the same for my next grand piano and currently have a beautiful 6’2″ Brodman grand piano at a great price. My guitar purchases were also at very good prices. I recommend Premier music to all my friends.
When asking for a refund of a system that never worked properly the owner advised me “NO REFUNDS and I’m the only game in town. The other piano store is closing anyway”. Brevard County piano customers – beware. This is how “the only game in town” Premier Music feels about your business.
Not open when they say . Can only look at pianos by appointment and you are immediately overwhelmed with questions about price range .
I purchased a piano here…kind of felt like I was getting the “bum’s rush” – that I needed to hurry up and buy right now. I didn’t trust/believe what the owner said..Be very careful if you shop here. Sadly, you must remember : let the BUYER BEWARE.
19. Music in Action
Address: 5150 Del Sol Dr, Merritt Island, FL 32952 , Viera West , Florida , United States
I had a great experience buying a piano from Atlantic Music Center. During all of my visits, everybody I dealt with, including Brian (the owner) and John, were happy to share their expertise while allowing me all the time I needed to try out their pianos and find one that was right for me. They have many beautiful, high-quality instruments on their display floor, and I really appreciated the tour Brian gave me of his rebuild shop as well. It was a pleasure to work with musicians who who take pride in what they offer. Highly recommended!
Glad to work with musicians instead of salesmen. Highest quality and variety of concert grands. It’s worth a visit even if not ready to purchase.
I purchased the Baldwin Hamilton for my Composer son and he is very pleased. Atlantic Music Center has the most sublime pianos and concerts with expert pianists and piano technicians onsite to advise on the best piano and tuner for you! I highly recommend Atlantic Music Center.
So I have not bought a piano from this dealer, but I HAVE noticed that in looking at their reviews, every site I look at, share the same reviews, same exact text. It makes the reviews look like they are planted from the business. Where do I go to get a real review of this business?
Took Brian a week to get back to me with 1 sentence that said they were too busy to repair my piano. Happy to look for service elsewhere!
I end up buying my piano somewhere else because I just couldn’t get straight answers and responses from them.
Today he was also the second time they said they would call me back and didn’t. They’re close enough that I can walk to their store but they don’t seem to respect me so I don’t feel like shopping there.
