The store is following COVID protocols. The staff is warm and friendly, and knowledgeable. They have oodles of books, with a kids section of the shop, as well as a variety of movies. Recently, because of the holidays coming up, they have been selling groups of a dozen books all individually wrapped, as an "advent calendar" of books, containing such things as Archie comics. To encourage kids to read. This book store has a Facebook page as well, to advertise what they are doing in the wss as y of special events. And watch for the adorable guard-cat :-)

I discovered them online and marveled at their selection of rather rare toys at really excellent prices (not to mention I love their selection of gently used toys, too- I hate seeing perfectly good toys thrown out when other children can be enjoying them). Since I live on the other end of the country, I had some questions before purchasing. The staff were SO kind and knowledgeable, got back to me very quickly (over and over again- sorry, guys!) and went out of their way to help. I cannot recommend Toy Heaven enough, I will certainly buy more from them in the future. On behalf of me and my 4-year-old daughter- THANK YOU!!

My husband and I stumbled upon this gaming store by happenstance. We were having dinner next door…read moreat Phu-Yen when my husband spotted it on the way into the restaurant, so we popped in after dinner. It looked like they were having some sort of boardgame playing event with kids when we were there. They had tables set up and an employee was explaining the rules of some game. We browsed quickly, but from what we saw they had a good selection of board games. I saw Dix-it, Ticket to Ride, various versions of Fluxx, various versions of Munchkin and other cool games. Prices were comparable to other game stores. In addition to board games, they also had videogames, including older stuff like original Nintendo and Gameboy! They had some figurines and also lots of different types of dice. Since staff seemed to be busy with the event, we were left to our own devices to browse, which I prefer anyway. They did thank us for coming in when we left though and they seemed friendly. It's a cool store for games if you're in Kanata North. It's in a strip mall with lots of parking.

I love a good record store. While in Ottawa, my friend and I were fortunate to visit two record…read morestores. The Record Centre was one of them. Well, my numbering is a bit off. No, it's not that I can't count. It's the fact that The Record Centre has two locations. It's weird. I saw two Canada Post offices across from each other downtown. We have a similar situation here. This Yelp listing is for The Record Centre. Its address is 1099 Wellington Street West. We crossed the street at some stage during our walking tour and discovered The Record Centre Too at 1112 Wellington Street West. There is no listing to the latter because Yelp moderators rejected my friend's listing for the smaller store (ugh!), so you're getting both reviews here. We went into The Record Centre Too first. It's the smaller store out of the two. The name is cute. I couldn't tell you why there are two locations with the same owners. The smaller store had records, CDs, cassettes, and 8-track tapes. I love these media types. Sadly, the selection was slim. I frankly didn't enjoy the smaller store because it was tiny and packed with music enthusiasts. Perhaps if there weren't so many people, I would have enjoyed browsing. This smaller store had a top floor that was for employees only. It was an interesting setup, almost as if half the store was for storage, and it was decided to open the lower floor for music merchandise. The larger store across the street had more records and selection. You will not find CDs, cassettes, or 8-track tapes here, though. You need to cross the street. Imagine if you are looking for a specific media format and you visit the larger store. You ask for help and are told to go to the smaller store across the street, which won't guarantee that you'll find what you're looking for. From a customer perspective, it's not the most convenient and pleasant setup. It is mainly why I lost my enthusiasm looking at new and used music at both locations. It is rare for me to feel this way. I didn't experience a relaxing space for me to browse albums at either location. It's huge for me, as I am the type who can spend hours at a music store. Instead, I wanted to leave both stores as quickly as possible. You can also get record players and other accessories, such as a record adapter for 45 RPM records, at the larger store. I wouldn't know if you can at the smaller store. I'd say no because it was too tiny. I had a better experience at Vertigo Records. One store. Everything in it. Lots of happy album browsing. I'm not sure if I'd return here. If I do, I hope that it's not as crowded. (291)

Cute name, eh? Anyway, on a recent outing with a friend of mine, we visited both stores. Since the smaller "The Record Centre Too" store didn't have a listing on Yelp, I created one. They are physically different stores on opposite sides of the street. However, the Yelp Moderators merged it with this listing. So some of my posted pictures are of the smaller store. I have indicated so in the photo captions. Both "The Record Store" and "The Record Store Too" are owned by the same folks. I will review both here. The main store is much bigger. It has a good selection of records as well as record players. They have a lot of brand new still sealed records too. No CDs, cassettes or 8 track tapes. If you're looking for these, you need to go to their smaller location. The smaller location has records as well, but less selection. The smaller location has a lot of space that is reserved for employees only. It's like a storage area. The space that's open to the public is very small so it gets very crowded if there's more than 3 customers in the store. It's much more enjoyable to browse at the main location. Street parking only.

Staff are knowledgeable even yo the point of knowing exactly when certain out of stock items are expected in shipments. The only slight against this place for me is its location so please take this critique with a grain of salt. For me it is just as easy to hop on a bus and head downtown or to the Glebe where I have a few choices in record stores, than it is for me to walk to Odds and Sods (cause it's close enough that wasting bus fare to go here is nonsensical). This means that unfortunately the only time I head here is when I've exhausted options elsewhere.
