Plus they have DVD, Blu-ray and even laserdisc. Counter gent was an old school movie geek like myself and was super fun to chat movies and the like with. I even headed off to the new sales Videomatica store afterwards and since I bought very little, went back to purchase more including a lessor-seen but reasonably priced Atom Egoyan collection of early films. (They covet the greats!) This store has it all in both rentals and sales - both of which are reasonable. LOVE THIS STORE!!!!!

On-street parking is always available for a quarter, with grocery and liquor store on same block plus quick eats across the street. Browsing with friends is priceless. There is no icebreaker like proposing and then having to defend the potential awesomeness of "Krull" from 1983. Staff are fittingly knowledgeable and casually geek about the films. Price is high. Late charge (over 7 days for regular titles) is just 50¢/day.

Customer service is above and beyond, Atsuko runs the store with care. I found some rare out of print manga there that are extremely hard to find as they've been out of print since 2007. Atsuko had the entire set and sold them to me at a very fair price. If I was a jerk, I could actually flip the rare books and make a tidy profit, but they're for me to enjoy and love!

I would consider my time I went to check it out wasted.

They even have authentic prepared dishes which sell fairly quickly. They have vada, Dosa a family favourite, idiyappam made from rice flour also called sting hoppers and idily. Different kinds of rolls, rice dishes with authentic Sri Lankan style curries, and many other South Indian snacks. If you are looking to try any of their prepared dishes it is best to call first because they run out fairly quickly. When you call and if they have any of the dishes you are looking for you can ask if they can set it aside for you which I know they have done for me. What I would love to see is for the staff to smile when engaging with their customers it will make the visit feel more welcoming.

It's a good-sized bookstore, with lots of great recently-published books, local authors, puzzles/toys/gifts, and some previously great-selling books at discount prices. There's a good amount of room to peruse the books without getting into people's way too much, but there will be some shifting of bodies depending on the row you're in. Props to the staff! I asked them the question if they had any signed books, and they had several, most that were local authors! The staff was super nice by basically going throughout the entire store and pointing them out for me. :') I ended up getting one of the bookplated Margaret Atwood novels, and one by a local author. Clean store, great selection books. Wouldn't mind coming back!l

It was my first time inside, having only passed by before to casually gloss over their outdoor book selection. Not long after I stepped in, I heard staff graciously welcome a new member to the team and it set a pleasant tone to my visit. I was on the search for a mystery novel and gravitated toward the ones with paper signs indicating a staff member's recommendation. The notes were handwritten and personalized, providing short summaries and/or reasons for why said book was recommended. As someone who can be incredibly indecisive, this helped a lot and eventually led me to my purchase: "The Plot" by Jean Hanff Korelitz. As I made my purchase, I was asked whether I wanted a stamp card so that I could get $5 off and be entered into a giveaway upon 10 purchases. I was also offered their store bookmark, which came in handy for reading afterwards at a nearby coffee shop. The staff member was so friendly and capped off what would be the first of more visits. If you want to support local businesses and are on the hunt for a good read, I highly recommend checking out Book Warehouse!
