He stands by his products, he turns around his service repairs quickly and he knows his stuff. Amazing used selection of vinyl, and some great new stuff too. I can't walk out of here without a giant stack of wax. The back area of the store has fully refurbished audio equipment where you can find some great deals. All serviced by Dave himself. I have purchased at least 3 turntables from that back wall, and felt comfortable handing them off to someone else after I upgraded again. I had a Nikko receiver serviced most recently. It had some issues but this is the receiver my old man used to listen to the ball games on when I was a kid growing up. It's not some top of the line tube amp, but for me this was about the memories of that old blue light receivers warm glow and that crackle and pop of the vinyl. I got to listen to the Tribe in the playoffs on that thing this year, they unfortunately lost to the damn Yankees, just like my pop would have done back in the 70's when that Nikko was new out of the box. Except the Indians sucked in the 70's, but the receiver regardless of Indians wins and losses is the real winner. What I am trying to say is Vinyl Groove is the best in the area for servicing vintage audio equipment. Nikko to McIntosh every piece of equipment matters to someone and Dave is the best in the area to bring back old audio equipment and old memories.

Would definitely not recommend ordering from them. I placed…read morean order in July that contained 3 pre orders and one in stock record. I received all 3 of my preorders in September but never received the 4th album. I emailed about the missing record on Sept 21st. I received a response the same day that claimed it would ship out soon. I reached out again Oct 13th because I still hadn't received it or gotten any update on my order. I did receive a response the next day telling me that the title had actually been delayed and they would let me know when they received the new release date. The issue with that is the missing item was released in 2022. It wasn't a pre order. I responded saying that and never heard anything back. I reached out again on Oct 18th and finally just asked for a refund. No response. It took me commenting on every post of theirs to finally actually receive a refund today, Oct 23rd. I'm assuming there was a mix up and the record I purchased was accidentally sold. I get it, things happen. While not ideal, if they had communicated and been transparent about what happened and just issued me a refund I would've understood. Instead I was given the runaround and then just completely ignored. Then they responded to my review calling me childish- even though the only reason I was ever refunded finally was bc I started commenting on social media. I tried going through the proper channels via email and was ignored ‍

Lauren Hills voice is awesome I enter the store and I am immediately greeted by the staff. I'm feeling the vinyl record store vibe. Than I found my cds and went to the front and before I can say can you help. This kind gentleman looks up from what he was doing and asked if I needed help. I said yes and he asked for some one to assist me. Went back to the front paid and left. Storing my exchange purchase in my saddle bags and about to head out.

If you're looking for anything resembling popular music, don't come here. You will be disappointed…read more If you're looking, however, for dance, electronic, or experimental music, this is the right place. The owner is, shall we say, a bit prickly. He sized me up the second I walked in. Because I've been going to record stores for years and have encountered music snobs more than once, this amused me more than anything. Once I pulled out a DJ Stingray (legendary techno DJ from Detroit) album, he knew I wasn't a noob. He got further confirmation when I asked about some Fennesz (amazing Austrian experimental guitarist) albums. Once you get him going about music, he warms up. Bent Crayon has very hard-to-find titles like Drexciya (iconic sci-fi techno duo from Detroit) reissues, the latest from Perlon (dance music label in Berlin), the Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto, or other left-field music. Bent Crayon is mostly vinyl but also has a solid selection of CDs. Fair warning: The corner shelves of experimental music are alphabetized but the rest of the store follows a mysterious organizational logic. In other words, you have to dig, not scan. I bought reissues of Stingray's Aqua Team 2, Drexciya's Harnessed the Storm, and Cluster's Zuckerzeit (Cluster was an electronic music duo from Germany who worked a bunch with Brian Eno). Bent Crayon is not for everyone, but it's still pretty rad.

When I walked in, the cashier told me that the record shop was upstairs. When I went up there, I was able to see the variety of music pieces available for sale. The value appeared to be great but I haven't purchased a record in a while, so my thoughts could be skewed there. But I loved the record I purchased (Aaliyah) so it was well worth my money! Parking can be a little hectic there. But there is a parking garage (you have pay for it) at the next building over on the same block.

I walked in and dove into the collection. It was neat and well organized which is perfect if you are flipping through quickly or if you have a specific artist in mind. I always start with the letter J. I am looking for Michael Jackson records first. I surprisingly found the Got to Be there album for a reasonable price. Don't go looking for it because I bought it expeditiously. I also found the Lean on Me soundtrack, Earth Wind & Fire, Boys 2 Men, Isley Brothers, Notorious B.I.G., Snoop Dog and Dolly Parton to name a few. There were record players available for sell as well. Tip: Check to see if there is a crate with records near the register. See the link below for a quick visual. https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMRag7owv/

Flower Child is a thrift store in Lakewood. The store is currently having a closing sale (70% off…read moreeverything). They will be opening in a new space in November 2025. In its current state, Flower Child is walking into a retro basement that has decades of treasure! LAYOUT/INVENTORY: The store has two levels with multiple rooms of treasure. Both levels have similar merchandise - home goods, kitchen tools, some furniture, abundance of accessories, clothing, vinyls, and some interesting international decor. Just when you think you ran out of rooms, there are more rooms of treasure to browse. I especially loved the basement. Every room is a treasure hunt! If you wear petite sizes, this is a treasure trove of vintage clothing. You'll find tees, dresses, sweaters, and pants. The clothing is casual and functional. Check out all the clothing rooms on the main level and basement. VALUE: The discounts on merchandise of 70% is a great value. However, the initial prices are quite high considering the quality. Some of the clothing and items are very well loved. I don't see myself paying full prices for the items to be extremely honest. SERVICE: The staff was very nice to customers during checkout. There was a lot of excitement about the upcoming store move. They staff was always very busy. Personally, I wanted to ask about the pricing for a folk pin I was eyeing. There was no one to ask so I eventually gave up. I'm sure the service is more attentive during the regular days. PARKING: I was surprised to find a pretty large parking lot at the back of the building considering the location is in Lakewood. Amazing if you're carrying home a lot of treasure. I would recommend Flower Child to guests who enjoy digging for treasure. You definitely need maybe an hour to focus on each room without getting overwhelmed. I look forward to checking out the layout of a new store!

I ended up purchasing an item; hence, the reason I am writing this review. WHAT (type of store) -- Magically Found is a quirky shop filled with random items such as candles, cards, tea cups, etc. The owner was super friendly during my visit. She explained that this shop has what a grandmother living in an English cottage would keep at her house. ITEMS -- The owner explained this to be a witchy store hence the name "Magic" is in the store name. I am not into witch things neither do I believe in that but the store has many other items to buy. They sell matches, candles, candle stick holders, tea cups, and other random items. I bought a little square container ($9) that has a strawberry shaped top/cover. It can be used for anything such as to put earrings in or even cubed sugar. I still haven't decided what I'll use mine for but it is in my kitchen for now. I never knew this store existed in Lakewood but I'm glad to have stopped by. If you like antique or older items then stop on inside and support this small, local business. **** - 80/150 total reviews in 2023 - 631 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 9 November 2023

I've now shopped here multiple times and am always impressed by the thoughtful selections she so expertly curates. Whether you need a gift, want to buy yourself something, or just want your vibrations raised, this is the place to go. The store is just a feast for your eyes. It has a strong Practical Magic flare to it (and you may even hear its magical soundtrack playing). Dried herbs and flowers hang from the ceiling, taper candles are nestled into the most unsuspecting corners, and vintage wares are everywhere to be discovered. Rebecca self-describes her shop as "Eclectic Granny Decor, Cottage Witch Vibes" according to Instagram. As I type this, I have a taper candle made with dried flowers burning inside of a vintage owl holder. I love this shop and could truly buy everything in here. Rebecca is so creative and makes a number of the store products and is always putting together speciality boxes (think Taylor Swift themed, etc.). Come and visit this enchanting store when you really have the time to wade through it and soak it all in. I promise you'll fall in love! Easy metered parking is outside.
