Beautiful space, fair pricing, and absolutely amazing staff big shout-out to Amy... you're the best. If you've got a question about anything, they're highly knowledgeable of their inventory and can help you find what you're looking for or, sometimes, an amazing alternative. I always look forward to another visit.
I drove through Columbus a couple of weeks ago on my way back home from a long road trip out east. I only had time to visit one record store there it was late afternoon on a Sunday, so I chose Spoonful Records based on their reviews on here. I have to say that the reviews were spot-on, as it is a nice record store with an excellent selection of both used and new vinyl. Everything is well-organized, which makes flipping easy and fun, and the owners are friendly and knowledgeable. Both made an effort to greet me and talk about my selections a little, even though they were busy. I always appreciate that, as the main appeal of a record store other than the music is the interaction one has with owners and/or staff. I could tell by their conversations with others in the store, that they know their regular customers well and appreciate them and in return are appreciated by them I don't come through Columbus often, but from now on when I do, I will stop in Spoonful. I highly recommend this awesome record store!
I’ve been shopping at Brett & Amy’s shop for many years. After moving out of Columbus I hadn’t been to their new shop until recently when I was in town they went the extra mile to snag a copy of a record store day special release for me. They are always so kind, knowledgeable & passionate about music & records. You’ll have a great experience when you go!!
Love this record store. I went in one day with my record player to see if they did repairs, and the gentleman whom I believe was the owner told me that he didn't actually do repairs and then spent about 20 minutes fixing my record player for no charge. Which gave me time to browse their awesome selection. Quickly became one of my favorite record stores in Columbus. Parking is a little tricky as it is downtown, but definitely worth it.
Every five star review you read about Spoonful is spot on and you will love your experience there. Brett and Amy are the best, and anyone else that they have helping them will love to help you. These are great people and we have been lucky to have them in Columbus for a long, long time. The store layout is always comprehensive AND cohesive, and there is definitely something used or new for all tastes. I hope that you have stopped reading and just gone to shop by now!
This was our first visit to Spoonful...in search of a turntable for my teenage son, his first. Brett, the gentleman who helped us, was very friendly and knowledgeable without giving off the stereotypical "snobby record store worker" vibe see: High Fidelity. Spoonful has a great selection of records both new and old covering all genres! Specifically, I really liked that they have two "Local" sections...Ohio & Columbus. Their Hip-Hop selection is the best that I've experienced so far...I haven't been to every record store yet in Columbus though.
I travel for a living and spend eight months out of the year on the road. When I have a stop in any city I find the nearest Used Vinyl store to go have a browse. Today I stumbled onto Spoonful Records. Absolutely one of the finest record stores I have ever walked into. Superb selection of every genre, and a fantastic metal selection. The owners were truly wonderful people, and I could have easily spent the whole day there chatting and browsing. I am so much looking forward to coming back here very soon. Thankyou very much for a wonderful day.
Spoonful Records is one of my favorite places to go just in general and definitely my favorite record store. The selection is varied. I always find something and often more than I am looking for. Everyone is friendly there, and I love stopping in to chat while I shop.
I called Spoonful Records the other day for a question about my record player and Xenia was just SUPER kind and helpful. I didn’t realize it was about an hour away from me but because of how great she was and was able to give me a price right off the back for the repair I described I decided to make the drive. When I arrived the owner even helped with carrying my player into the store from the car. He started the repairs and was intentional about making sure my transportation back home would be safe and was great about informing me about fix. They have a very organized store and large selection of records with parts in stock. The owner was so humble and Im so happy with how today went. Thank you all so much!
Came up from Cincinnati today. Awesome shop! Personable employees, great inventory and reasonable prices. Brett and Amy were nothing but welcoming and I’ll start sending everyone their way! - JN
