    I loved this record store. They had a bunch of vinyls, tshirts, coffee mugs, bags, etc... they had so many things I wanted but I ended up purchasing a Dolly Parton bag and a Frank ocean blonde t-shirt. The staff was great and the balcony overlooks the food truck area. Highly recommend this vinyl store. It is located on top of a bookstore.

    Found Heaven and Eternal Sunshine -- best releases of 2024 so far

    Amazing selection. Central Square had a huge variety of vinyl and CDs--new and old. They also carry vintage and modern posters, shirts, and other memorabilia for pop culture, literature, and concerts.

    Love this humble record shop in Seaside. I could spend a long time here. Their gift items are awesome and unique! I bought some creativity matchsticks, a raven finger puppet, and fucking awesome stationary cards.

    Stumbled upon Central Square Records while browsing a neighboring (I'm assuming related) bookstore in Seaside. It's the upstairs neighbor and I'm glad I decided to check it out because it was such a cool spot. I'm not one for getting gifts for friends when I travel, but Central Square Records was the perfect place to find a cute momento to take home with you as a gift, or just something for yourself!! The location couldn't be more perfect. As the name implies it's central to all the shopping in Seaside. There were so many rare vinyls, and my boyfriend and I spent so much time looking through each of them. Central Square Records also offered a huge selection of newer vinyls. In fact the day we were there I noticed a record that had just been released the previous day. It was impressive they were able to get them in stock so quickly. The part of Central Square Records I like the most were all the tshirts that lined the back wall. It felt like I was at a show trying to buy some merch. There were so many to choose from!! Central Square Records is definitely worth checking out when you're out and about in Seaside! Even if you go up on their patio just for a sweeping view of the entire business district.

    Cool little record/CD store that also sells some t-shirts and other knick knacks. We stopped in to shop for a CD to listen to during the car ride back, and we were impressed by CSR's local selection. Very charming shop, well worth visiting!

    I always love coming to Central Square each fall that I make my trip down to Santa Rosa. They always have a wide variety of records and even some newer selections. Their playlist it always on point (as it should be!) and I love the apparel and little knickknacks that they always have. This time around I bought a sweatshirt to rep their brand and awesome shop. If you're planning on making a trip to Central Square I recommend entering through the bookshop because the staircase on the way up is my favorite! Not to mention the staff is always friendly, polite, and knowledgeable. Can't wait to come back next year!

    Service was poor. Owner was pleasant but other employees acted like they couldn't be bothered.

We even stopped by The Truman House nearby. As a huge fan of bookstores, when we passed by Sundog Books in the evening as our last stop before heading back to our hotel, I was impressed by a well organized and large (and fun) bookstore with so much to see. We didn't roam the second floor as we arrived shortly before closing but there is a record store on the upper floor. We did see apparel and gear for sell including sweatshirts, t-shirts, hoodies, tank tops, hats, mugs, bandanas, and tote bags. In scanning the various sections of the store, I quickly found some of my favorite fiction, historical fiction, and young adult fiction sections along with non-fiction favorites. I also found some new ideas of what I could read next, which I promptly added to my Goodreads account. I also enjoyed roaming the fun gift items, which were very creative but perfect for book loving visitors like me. Established more than 40 years ago by Bob and Linda White, the logo features their former dog Patty. The store was founded on individuality and a respect for independence though nowadays continues to focus on community. Check out their website at https://sundogbooks.com for online shopping, upcoming events, the Bookstore Buzz, and to learn about them. They give out their own Seaside Prize each year to a worthy author or authors. They also have multiple book signings in a typical week (listed on their event calendar). They are open from 9 AM to 8 PM year-round. While I love music and regret not seeing the second floor of records, I was very happy I made it to the store while it was still open. Now, if only I had enough room in my luggage for a number of books to buy while I passed through. Rather, I'll have to settle for online ordering from Sundog Books, which has some rather reasonable prices for a bookstore. I certainly recommend that visitors visit the bookstore and record shop!

The store is packed from floor to ceiling and wall to wall with books and gift items. I will stop in whenever I'm in the area for a vacation read. Be sure to check out the record store upstairs as well.

This was the first record shop I've ever visited that had my contemporary jams on vinyl at the ready & I was just in hog heaven!! I'm new at the record game, having recently been feeling my experience of an album isn't full without the beautiful album art which is such a special part of the story that is only a tiny thumbnail when I listen on Spotify, so I now feel compelled to hold the album & really vibe with it! So anyway most record shops have amazing collections of older records, which makes sense because that's the way music was done back in the day, but I'm more of a modern woman at the moment wanting to slap my indie beats, so I'm so grateful for what Revolver Records is offering! They did have older records too, all in pristine condition! Really beautiful selection. Other notes: Connected to bar Magnolia & coffee shop Jitterbug that will be opening in 2-3 weeks. Got to have a taste of the craft beer being offered with the super nice owners. I believe I heard they'll be having trivia nights, comedy shows & live performances there, which would be super cool because it'd make for some smaller, intimate shows which I love!! Such a great spot! Highly recommend! All us St. Louis folk were so stoked & will be back when we come around again! Thank you!!

    This place has something for everyone in terms of music taste. Really great used records selection…read moreand the owner is super cool! Great place to chill and just look at records then have a coffee or gelato!
