They’re so nice. From my experience, they’re nicer and more helpful than all other record shops I’ve visited. Arguably the best record shop in Columbus.

Cool record store. Owner / staff are friendly, stacks are appear to be kept organized. Pretty easy to find what your looking for, but also a good selection to browse. Walked out with some stuff I was planning on as well as a couple surprises.

I dont live in Columbus, I live 2.5 hours south in KY, but I travel to Columbus multiple times during the year. This is one of my main stops when Im in town. Staff is fantastic, selection is awesome and the shop is just a great place to wander around. If you are in Columbus and are looking for a great record shop, keep Spoonful on your short list.

Very awesome place to visit. This is the best record shop I have ever been to. The owners were super nice, had music playing from a record player and even had another out to test a record if you wanted. The $3 bins had some great picks, the new arrivals had great picks as well.

Brett and Amy are the best. They are always getting in the newest in vinyl and if they don’t have it, they will always go out of their way to try to get it for you. Highly recommend for new vinyl buyers and experienced collectors!!!!

Great store. They specialize in rock but have a good variety of other genres, plenty of new music as well as deals on older records. The owners are super personable and nice, and helped us pick out speakers and a turntable - one even offered to help with any tech support getting it setup- that definitely wasnt his job.They follow mask protocol, deliver within 10 miles, are open 7 days a week... all great stuff.Plus its a great location! Go get a beer around the corner, play some arcade games, and pick out some records on the way home!

Today was record store day. I had never heard of this store until I found them online via a Google search. I honestly didnt expect much but figured Id give them a shot and decided to go there for Record Store Day on 7-17-2021 because several other stores in town didnt get the stock they expected for this special day. When I arrived I was blown away. They had multiple copies of practically every RSD release! I got everything I was looking for. They also had the best selection of vinyl Ive seen in a record store in years and I am a music freak constantly shopping online and in person anywhere that sells vinyl and cds! Their prices are very fair and affordable which impressed me. The staff was very friendly, knowledgeable and treated me like theyve known me for years. They even had donuts for their customers at no charge! This is my new go-to record store in Central Ohio and I highly recommend Spoonful Records!!

Spoonful has been our go to record store from the start of our collection 7 years ago. We even purchased our record player through them. Their collection is great, they are always willing to go the extra mile and help you find what you are looking for, or order it if need be. During the pandemic Brett and Amy hand delivered records to our home! It was such an amazing experience and really brightened a scary time in our city and country. We’ve always felt comfortable shopping with our young son, Amy goes out of her way to make our experience terrific, and even entertains our son and others we’ve witnessed while shopping. Spoonful is the first store I recommend to people looking for albums, and they are also the first place I take out of town guests. Brett and Amy are great people, and do a lot of good for the community. Highly recommend getting to know them and visiting the shop regularly. You will always find more than what you’re looking for.

Review №17

One of my favorite places to visit in town. Brett and Amy are always so nice and helpful. Great selection with a wide variety. Whenever I go to pick up a record I always walk out with more than I planned- their Used Indie section is my own personal gold mine and their pricing on harder to find/out of print records is always priced more reasonably than what I’ve found online or in other stores. If you want a solid record store experience where you get to talk music and crate dig through a great selection- Spoonful is where it’s at.

Review №18

When I decided to begin collecting record, I searched meticulously online. I researched and pored over reviews until I came across Spoonful Record. I have bought a few albums from them now, and they have delivered them personally with the utmost care. My experience with Spoonful Records has been so positive that I cant imagine going anywhere else honestly. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly and willing to go above and beyond to help you in your quest for vinyl. I highly recommend them if you want a quality experience overall.

Spoonful has been so good every time we go. The owners could not be kinder people. Whatever record you need, they’ll find it and their prices are always fair. Whenever we have a record to trade in, they’re also super fair with store credit. Our daughter loves their pinball machines too! This store is one of the gems of Columbus.

Review №21

This is one if the best record shops in town with a diverse selection of records. Brett & Amy go out of their way to help you find what youre looking for and then some. Also the kindness that Amy has shown my daughter when I have to take her there with me is amazing! Shes given her coloring books to use while I shop so shes not bored out of her mind and I cant thank them enough for their hospitality.

Review №22

Nostalgic feel in a clean, organized, modern record store. If I wanted something from my past, Ill bet theyll have it or will get it. Ill be going back. Cant believe Im replacing my album collection of 50 years ago but just might do that.

Review №23

I will say my first experience with this Record shop was at the beginning of the pandemic. I grew up listening to vinyl, my mom had a record player and an extensive amount of albums. I was going to buy a Crossley off of Amazon and I called Spoonful and they educated me on brands. I spend the money for the LP 60 at the shop. Every time I am in there I am treated great and given advice. They know music! The customer service is amazing! Ive sent friends who have visited me to spoonful and they have had similar experiences as I have had. GREAT PLACE!!! I love the fact that their hip hop section is filled with some of the legends and lesser known legends!

Review №24

We have been trying to expose our daughter to the music we listened to growing up (think 80s new wave) plus bands that we love now. It has been so fun taking her to Spoonful to go pick out albums. They were even able to locate the anniversary release album of music from Back to the Future that I wanted for my husband. They are kind, knowledgeable and so accommodating to what you need. We love them!!

Review №25

Haven’t been here in a while which is my own fault, but Brett and Amy are class characters! Always feel welcomed to just go in and chat, browse, play some pinball and pickup some nice finds. They deliver too if you’re not wanting to go out amid a pandemic. What more could you ask for? My personal favorite go to shop.

Review №26

Great record shop in the heart of the city! The Spoonful staff do an amazing job of organizing their shop, knowing what they have, being outrageously helpful in recommendations and helping you find things, and pricing everything well. If youre unable to make it to the store, theyll deliver! A must-visit for anyone who loves vinyl!

Hands down the best record store in Columbus. If they dont have it they will get it for you. If you cant make it in until the weekend, just call and they will set it aside for you. They are always and friendly and quick to answer any questions you may have. As a bonus, if you live within 12 miles of the store, they will deliver your records to you! The atmosphere inside the store is very welcoming and unpretentious.

Hands down my favorite record store in CBUS! I love that they are open 7 days a week, the store is clean, well organized and easy to navigate. There is always plenty of street parking available and the meters and it only costs .50 and hour, which I will regularly spend more time than that because Brett and Amy and the crew are awesome and so great to chat with while browsing.I have found the most amazing records here. They have a great eye for buying, and many times I’ve mentioned a record I’m looking for, and a couple days later it show up like magic.Oh, and there’s pin ball!!We are lucky to have a shop like Spoonful in our city.

Good record store, love coming here to dig through their used records, always find some good deals. Owners are cool to talk about music with and make good recommendations. They have some good sidewalk sales sometimes too and a year end sale. Great selection and great prices. Ive also got some cool storage crates here.

The owners are wholesome & know what’s up about music! Their prices are fair, the shop has a great vibe (it’s always clean), and they even have a children’s section. This place has quickly became my partner & I’s favorite record store in Columbus. They consistently care.One time I ordered two records at noon & they showed up by 4 pm! Their staff personally delivers these records & are nice every time.

Review №35

This is by far the best record store in Columbus. Great selection and they are always willing to try and find stuff for you if they don’t currently have it. They also will deliver locally! There is nothing as awesome as a spontaneous buy in the morning and having it hand delivered by that night. I will always recommend Spoonful.

Review №36

Our favorite local record shop! Great selection, knowledgeable staff, and they even deliver - this is fantastic for folks who aren’t necessarily wanting to head downtown to shop. The bins are always loaded with great finds, and they run specials on the bargain records pretty frequently so you can make your vinyl collection even more voluminous!

Spoonful Records is one of the finest locally/owned businesses in Columbus. Their selection is outstanding in the customer service is second to none. Bret and Amy do such an amazing job. I can’t say enough about what wonderful business owners and citizens they are in Columbus.

Review №38

Columbus has thirteen or so vinyl pushers and Spoonful is my favorite of those. Brightly lit, stocked well, great atmosphere, good available parking, and conveniently located close to some great places to eat (Dirty Franks and Mikeys Late Night Slice). Brett and Amy are great. They genuinely like helping the customer find what they are looking for and it shows. My thirteen-year-old loves chatting with Amy and my eight-year-old digs the three pinball machines. They are my go-to for rock, indies, soul, hip-hop, and their hela good selection of classic r&b 45s. Checkem out cuz they are all Kool and Gang😁.

Review №39

I’ve gone to this store in person a handful of times and I’d certainly go a lot more if I lived closer. It’s such a relaxing vibe and atmosphere and they always have good finds. And I’ve even ordered delivery a few times and they’ve always been so utterly gracious and prompt getting me my package. I absolutely love this store and the people. Highly recommend for locals and out of towners alike!

Great shop run by people who truly love it. They maintain an exciting and diverse collection. And, if you’re not too far away, they regularly make same day deliveries. We’re lucky to have Spoonful Records in Columbus.

Review №41

Amy and Brett are two of the nicest people you’ll ever meet and clearly love what they do. There isn’t anything I can say that no one else here has said or that anyone else who goes to the shop or orders from them won’t immediately find out. They always go above and beyond. I love Spoonful and I refuse to shop for records anywhere else in Columbus.

Brett and Amy are the best. Spoonful is my favorite record store in Columbus. They have a website that allows you order online and either pick up in store, have it delivered (within 12 miles), or have items shipped. Also, plenty of meter parking and when its nice out there are a bunch of food options just around the corner. Makes for a nice outing!

One of the hardest parts about moving out of Columbus was to say goodbye to Spoonful and its awesome staff. I return and shop there every time I am back in Ohios capital city because not only are they friendly, they also offer a vast range of genres and a super well curated section of used records. This record nerd highly recommends shopping there!

My husband and I have been purchasing our records from this store for several years and have never been disappointed.

Spoonful Records is THE BEST in Cbus! I dont go anywhere else.

Review №78

With a couple options to choose from in the Central Ohio region, Ive become quite smitten with Spoonful. Located in downtown Columbus, they are very likely an easy drive for many. Im coming from Hilliard.. They have new and used records. Ive also been able to see the new releases and hold until I can get in the car and head on down! I havent spent too much time browsing physically IN their storefront in the last year, but their communication with us has been stellar! My only problem is so much to buy, and my expendable income just dont align... Thanks Spoonful!

Review №79

Each visit to Spoonful is a unique experience in terms of the music you will find. The one constant is the friendly and informative staff who share their passion for music. Brett and Amy are wonderful and they make my wife and I feel like old friends. Very responsive to questions or requests. They respond to pre-order requests and questions via messenger promptly. They have delivered to my home in Pickerington on a few occasions which is outside their normal 12 mile radius. Most notably, Brett drove out to exchange 1 album of a four album set, which I had purchased new, because it had a skip. Amazing. They took good care of their customers during the pandemic. During the stay at home period when they started their online shop and then again when we could visit the store and they made sure all protocols were in place. A great place to shop, again and again.
