Great selection and it's such a great place to listen and read! What a great area! Definitely a new favorite place to shop local!

Spirited away...

Wonderful hometown hospitality. Recently celebrated their 2 year anniversary of this establishment. So pleased to know the steady support from happy customers. As a thank you they had a discount on any purchase and some goodies! One great perk available during the week is bringing in your old collection of vinyl records, books, cds or tapes. After evaluated management can give you an estimate for store credit. A great perk if you're wanting some new material to update your library.

stopped in again for independent bookstore day! my partner and i searched high and low for the golden ticket to win a free year of audiobooks with libro.fm (an amazing alternative to audible btw) and found it tucked away in their horror/true crime section :) aside from that we picked up a couple of other goodies including some stickers and a rare copy of tolkien' smith of wooton major it was great stopping by and chatting with the owners who were just lovely folks! will be back soon

Great used book find! The staff was very helpful and friendly. This is a big store inside, the outside looks small and a little run down (it looks like it may not be open from the street). I was a little leery going in, but pretty ding dang surprised when I did. The parking isn't very good. The shelves are very neat and they sell collectibles too. I found a book I've been looking for for a couple years and it was ONLY $4! There was a wide selection of kids books too. They have a room full of vinyls and a section for collectibles. If you are looking for a particular book, collectible or vinyl, they can quickly tell you if they have it....it worked for me. I will definitely be back, this is a super find. I am so happy to spread the positive word about this new business.

Staff was helpful but didn't hover so didn't feel pressured. The variety of stuff they had was interesting.

As soon as I walked in, I seriously thought to myself: man, I can totally see David Lynch shopping…read morefor records here. The space isn't large at all, but the selection is pretty mighty. They get new records here as well as having a large selection of older/used records. There's also a clearance section that's fun to go through. The owner here is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. I also love that there are a few listening stations if you want to spin some of the used records here. Oh, and they also participate in Record Store Day and ask for requests if you want any of the releases published on the site. Also, note that they aren't kidding with the name. It literally is a single large record room. And I got a little confused when I first came here - I got to the spot Waze brought me to based on the address and the building looks like a large government building / library in the artsy area of Riverside. So I thought I misunderstood when I found this place on Google maps and thought it was an actual building that contained official records. That is until I saw the sign on the corner pointing towards the shop. I followed the sign until I saw another sign leading me down some stairs into the entrance of this record room/ shop. I was immediately wowed right when I walked in. Just a really cool store. Plenty of street parking nearby.

Cool spot in downtown. Right next to the fire station. Owners Matt & Gabriel are great guys! Warm…read moreand welcoming as soon as we walked through the door. Chill vibes with that downtown charm. Various genres for vinyl records, apparel and record players. They also have a recording studio for musicians needing some tracks laid down. The entrance is off of Lemon St. you'll see the sign by the entrance. Walk down the steps to the door on the left. Closed Monday & Tuesday.

When I need to purchase a thoughtful gift, Rhino Records is always at the top of my list. Records,…read morebooks, BluRays, stickers, I even went I. For a new record needle and the staff was so helpful! As the media corporations keep merging, it will become more and more important to have your favorite physical media. When our enemies knock out our internet to sow chaos, how will we listen to music or watch our favorite films? Take heed, young ones. The streaming generation, all your favorite things can be taken from you with the flip of a switch, not if you have physical media. There are beloved films of my youth unavailable for any price streaming. If your bought it digitally, they can take it away tomorrow. If you own it on physical media THEYLL ONLY TAKE IT FROM YOUR COLD DEAD HANDS!!!

Is this store owned by or affiliated with the Rhino Records label? I don't know. It would seem…read moreso. It doesn't really matter. This is a an excellent shop. You walk in and vinyl, some merch, cassettes, and books are to the right and CDs, DVDs and posters are to to the left. The vinyl selection is very nice. Don't sleep on the books. They are excellent. Do people actually buy cassettes? I don't think I want to meet those people, no oiffense. The CD collection was bigger and better than I expected. They have both new and used CDs. The prices on the used CDs were reasonable. Music will be playing during your visit and it will probably be good music (on vinyl, of course). The store is spotless and the workers were very friendly and helpful. The vibe here is very good. If I lived closer, I would come here a lot and I would buy a lot. Free and easy parking in the lot. If you love music, you have no excuse for not visiting.

Really miss the old B&n vibe. I used to study at these locations during college and and I'm glad…read morethis store still has that old vibe. Brown tables, bookshelves, reading area, and now a smaller magazine area. There used to be CD and DVD and now it's filled with plushies. Came here to do my first Lego event here. First time hearing about it online and was able to reserve a spot for my husband and I to build. This event today was their Happy Hummingbuild set. There were areas that you can sit and build. Although no Master Builder was there to help so we just figured it out on our own. After building we strolled around the store and picked up a few new bestsellers as well as toys for our kids. Located in Crossings Corona section near Best Buy. Has a large parking lot that's shared so easy to find parking.

My granddaughter and I stopped by to look and see if we could find some books to read. After…read morebrowsing around for 30 mins my granddaughter found 3 books, bookmark and book lamp to purchase. We stood in a long line of 18 other customers patiently waiting to make their purchases. By the way there was only one cashier. I left the line to see if I could find a staff member to help out. I saw one female staff member at the customer service desk. I politely asked if she could have a staff member go to the cashier desk and help out. I was told there were only 2 people currently working at that moment. She said they were low on staff today. That's crazy to only have a total of 2 people working especially it being the holiday season. For the store to not have adequate staff, the store looked clean & organized.
