It is in my opinion the best record store in this area and definitely my favorite. I would also recommend this place if you have cool clean records for sale to come here and sell them!

You would think a record store in such a prime location would have such high overhead that they…read morewould need to keep the prices really high, but there are some good deals to be had here. Good selection of modern rock, punk, alt, and 60's rock. GREAT selection of audiophile pressings. Some wild Japanese vinyl from The Who that I'M DYING to own. They know what they have, and it's priced accordingly, but stuff that doesn't move seems to get discounted (despite what Discogs says it's worth) Clean, organized, friendly staff, no pressure. It's slowly becoming my favorite record shop.

Nice shop. Decent sized with lots of inventory. Well organized and had several records that I…read moredon't see to often in the wild which was great for my collection. Just not my wallet. That's probably the only negative was (imho) the prices are high. It may be the neighborhood. Not high enough to keep me from buying the ones I didn't have but high enough to keep me from buying upgrades to my collection. Lots of related merchandise as well which I bought a couple of items. Owner was real friendly and not pushy which is always a plus. I will be back on my next trip to the area.

This was an amazing find of a place to explore, and I think is a must visit if you find it! As you…read morecould tell from its name they have used books which is a large portion of the inventory but don't worry if you aren't a book lover they have plenty. Vintage vinyls in large numbers, vintage clothing, and plenty of other oddities to excite you or even make you wonder. There is a main building where you'll find some books, most of the vinyls and lots of other items. Out back, which by the way does have a couple parking spots also has the yurt which is where you will find the majority of the books. It's a very impressive collection and has a good variety of genres and while a lot are vintage I did stumble upon some more commonly know titles such as Harry Potter and a Hunger Games book. If you only explore the main building and skip the yurt you certainly miss out! The owner was extremely friendly and you could tell this is a passion of his to share his collection for others to find and collect! Also for the most part I really thought prices were reasonable, with many of the books in the yurt looking like they were $3-$4 roughly. My wife and I almost decided to purchase an awesome looking lamp that featured a barrel as the base. We did up just browsing though but enjoyed our time here very much! Worth visiting for sure!

So many books! And vinyl! And movie posters! And used clothing! And decor items! And even some…read moreelectronics! Definitely check out the large yurt in the back for more. Yes, I found two Star Trek books to take along and very nearly bought a shirt that I did not need. Prices were great and the dude working (owner? manager?) was super friendly.

What a tonelessly snarky fellow. The tall one who periodically visits the cafe staff, where he…read moreconverses in loud yells. I brought two books to the counter today and took a moment to look in my bag for my book discount bookmark for him to stamp. I carefully put my laptop, wallet, glasses, and clean paper wrapper containing the cafe's fresh veggie sandwich half, all on the broad counter for a moment, in the manner of Lucille Ball. I'm old enough that she was my mentor in a special graduate class on clowning, eons ago. But the bookstore clerk zeroed in on the sandwich. "Get your greasy sandwich off the counter. This is a bookstore." Who talks like this? Yes, the wrapped sandwich was anomalous there, matter out of place but for a moment. He had no right to sound this way, but I apologized. The purchase came to under twenty. He was so excitedly thrilled by this. "You can't have a book stamp because you didn't spend twenty today!" He bounced as he said it. New to the discount program because who cares, I quietly accepted this news. "See?" He went on, "Look. It says so right there, right on the bookmark!" I gave no reply to him. "But, of course, everyone just hates to read!" There was no humor going on. He was claiming the right to scold an old person for being nothing but that, in his eyes. I'm older and small in size. What a bully! I looked him in the face and said, "What is wrong with you?" Off balance, he said, "Nothing. This is just what's called having a sense of humor." He turned and sped off. There was no 'thank you' to complete the transaction. To me, a comic to the core, incivility is not humor at all. It's disrespect. It's a man Indulging in meanness towards an older woman because he can get away with it here and there. "Get your greasy sandwich off the counter," was so inappropriate to say, to anyone, the cruelness of it must have felt like free-flight. It was so absurdly rude he brought to mind Monty Python. I spend up to $400 a month on books. I find everyone else here at Toadstool polite, but similarly distracted and disinterested in the customers, except for the owner. But no one else is disrespectful except for this guy.

They also…read morehave a tendency to claim an album is a more rare edition than it actually is so they can upcharge. Be sure to check everything on Discogs before buying. They will lower the price if you call them out on their shenanigans, though, so be diligent. Their recent arrivals section is usually pretty good, but the normal, already alphabetized stuff are pretty common records but marked up due to location. Honestly, I only ever look through the recent arrival stuff when I stop in nowadays. But again, check the editions before buying because they will absolutely claim it's a rarer edition when it's certainly not.
