I have been a regular customer of this establishment for YEARS! Tonight I went in shopping for a leather harness. Because I now work part time for a store across the street from them, the manager treated me like crap. Accused me of spying and made it very clear I was not welcomed in his store! This place has become TOXIC since they remodeled. read more

We visited today and had a great time in the big and clean store. Eddie and staff couldn't have been any nicer. Eddie helped us select some new cock rings and I found an awesome new Addicted swimsuit. It's always nice to be met by a smiling face and welcoming staff. They have something for everyone. Many items are US made and are clearly high quality. read more

It's an adult-only "needs" shop -- they've got a bit of everything here. Place was clean, and the employees were wearing masks which was a great relief ‍ to me! Only stopped in to have a look around, because it had been ages since I'd actually been in, and I wanted to show support if I found anything I might want or need, but they just don't have a huge selection of really anything. It seems to be more of a "let us know if you want a specialty thing, we can order that" type of place more than a walk-in and buy store, which is a think what it was originally intended to be. read more

Doesn't even make any sense , successful companies all throughout downtown have their employees take public transportation. Don't apply, won't be applying nor shopping at. read more

Tapelenders - Very disrespectful and discriminating to not want DART riders applying. - Adult Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great selection, wide ranging merchandise including videos catering to the community. Excellent location, excellent visual displays, above and beyond customer service, clean restrooms and decent prices. Tapelenders is a great place to shop for thoughtful cards and gifts. The employees here bend over backwards to help you here and if they don't have it, they can order it. I come early for a great selection of calendars every year. Tapelenders never disappoints. read more

So I'm out for Sunday-Funday and decided to stop in and check this place out as they were the only ones open this early. I remember it being bigger, but they still pack a huge amount of stuff into the small space! Harnesses, toys, underwear, gifts. Don't even get me started on the underwear section - it's huge! Friendly staff showed me around and answered my random questions. I definitely recommend going next door and checking out the other store they own called ES when you're done as well. read more

Tapelenders - Outside of Tapelenders - Adult Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Great selection of porn mags. Didn't realize it was a men's store until we went in, but they still have things for everyone! Friendly staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. Made us feel comfortable and welcome. read more

Extremely overpriced, rude employees. Will not refund a clearly overpriced item. Filed complaint with BBB. I do my best to support local and gay businesses, but this place will never see any of my money again. I was told to dispute the charge with my credit card company. Can't believe a company would encourage chargebacks. They must not value their merchant agreements. Used to be a great place, guess the new management doesn't really care. Too bad. read more

Under new management! If you haven't been in a while, I suggest a new visit. They've changed owners and have gotten a facelift inside and out. Product offerings have been updated. Friendly staff. read more

This is one of the oldest stores in the Cedar Springs area in Dallas. It has been at the same location since the early 1980s! Wow. I have shopped here for about ten years. I have to say I really do miss the old larger store (lots of good memories), however with the advent of online video rental services there is less need for video rentals. Fortunately, Tapelenders has held its ground by featuring GLBT themed DVDs for rental along with a good selection of gifts. They also have the best selection of Andrew Christian clothing in Dallas. If you need GLBT pride themed merchandise, Tapelenders has the best selection in Dallas, along with "novelty" gifts. read more

The prices were ridiculous. They clearly want the customers to go purchase online or find other avenues. If they had any competition they'd be screwed. Some products are double then what you find online. Being a small business owner, I want to buy in other small businesses but I will not be a supporter of a good business model that's poorly run. The stars are for the nice guy who greeted me. read more

Been shopping here for years; gone way down in selection/variety & customer service. Topping it off today I went into exchange the size small underwear I bought at a charity auction last Wednesday night. After waiting for about 10 minutes the clerk informs me that per owner (Mark) there are no exchanges allowed. Too bad the model didn't come with the prize. In response to Chris L's comment: the model had on underwear beneath the garment. I have had no problem with other stores making exchanges under these circumstances from other such charity auctions. read more

Extremely disappointed in the customer service here. Every time I come to Dallas I've always enjoyed shopping here. But today I experienced the most unprofessional customer service. I've owned my own retail store for over 12 years and would never employ a person that treats their customers so disrespectfully. Whoever owns the store needs to really evaluate who they have working for them it's a really bad refection on their business. read more

OK so I've mocked this place in the past for it's eclectic collection of tacky rainbow knickknacks, lube, and porn. But you know what--this place has none of the "gay attitude" that seems to ruin many places in the gayborhood. They have a great selection of current flicks and in an age where your choices are Netflix or RedBox because no other place is around, you have no reason to go anywhere else. They're super friendly (even telling us the closest place we could go to find a new release they didn't yet carry. Wow.) We will definitely make this our neighborhood rental spot. (from our 2/23/13 visit) read more

Great selection of products, fair prices, and very kind and sweet staff. My girl-friend (not girlfriend) and I were walking around Cedar Springs and Oak Lawn shopping and we got outright hostile attitudes from many of the shops we went in. There seems to be a 'boys club' vibe to many of the stores where a pair of women get stared at or completely ignored while we shop. We are not a couple (just best friends) but people always assume we are. Tapelenders were incredibly nice and helpful to us; none of the attitude we experienced in other shops earlier that day. They have our business for sure, even if all we were buying were trinkets. read more

I love this place...really friendly staff...love the novelties, pride items...didn't venture into the flix, but might next time...I went in for the window items, which on that day were music note and treble clef book ends and various sculptures...reasonably priced... read more

I like Tapelenders a lot! In fact, I rent movies about twice a week, and they have a great selection. Sometimes I wonder how they stay in business. They have very liberal extended hours being open until midnight every night, and they seem to fall prey to the patrons of surrounding gay nightclubs. If you need to return a video anytime after 9pm, forget it, b/c all the alcoholics and drunks have taken all the parking in the back for the retail business owners, AND the local bars, and plan to "camp out" at their watering holes 'til closing. They offer some of the best GLBT titles in town, and are always getting new titles. Their gay pride offerings are a little stale.....circa 1982? They have awesome gift ideas, some of the most beautiful glassware, kitsche, and novelty light fixtures I've ever encountered. Excellent aromatherapy section, and a selection of hanging glass votive candle holders that no one else can rival. An awesome assortment of sex toys, videos, condoms, birthday cards, calendars, "coffee table boox", and accessories. If you can't find it, they'll order it. It took about 2 weex, but they secured a limited edition dvd of Torch Song Trilogy for me, and called me when it came in. I recommend them!!!!!!! read more

Had everything I needed for a very important weekend with the love of my life. Staff so helpful and present.

They get five stars because the guy at the counter had a good attitude, and made the shopping experience enjoyable. The store was an adventure, for sure. I found a gift to purchase and the counter guy rang up the purchase and was a pleasure to do business with. read more

i have been dealing with this store since January on a ornament i bought..they broke putting it the bag and said they would order me a new one. I had paid for it and the shipping and have been dealing with them ever since to find the status of it. They always say they will check, the owner isn't in or some excuse but never a call back. Something that was going to be shipped in approx 3 weeks and 2 plus months later and still nothing. Poor customer service. read more
