I was in the store three times trying to get things resolved. Each time, there were 5+ person…read moreline-ups with no one covering cash or at best one person. This despite the fact that there were 4-5 employees doing other things. Because I had so much time, I looked at the buying some frames. However, the shelves were such a mess with frames put into slots with different items mixed together that it became impossible to figure anything out. Ultimately, my biggest complaint was that I had I to come back to the store multiple times because the manager lied to me and then refused to acknowledge the problem. I will definitively take my business elsewhere. I pointed this all out to the manager and he could not care less.

Love this addition in the Chinatown neighborhood! Having been here usually on weekends, they do get…read morequite busy (both cafe side and photo lab side). I usually get a flat white and you can let them know if you will be drinking in store so they do not give you a to go cup. The resident dog in store (I hope it is because each time I see him there haha) is adorable and so well behaved!! I really enjoy the vibes here but do keep in mind the store is slightly below ground level and there are stairs going down so not wheelchair accessible.

I stumbled upon Graination as I was walking along Spadina this week. I saw the words "specialty…read morecoffee" and I knew I had to pay a visit inside. Turns out they are in their soft opening currently where they opened about a week or two ago. Despite the coffee shop in the front of the store, they also have a photo lab at the back of the space. I saw lots of film being sold as well as overheard that they have processing services as well. I primarily came to try their coffee so I can't comment much on the photo lab services. Coffee wise the menu is basic and simple. A bit on the pricer side compared to other coffee shops in the city. They use Hatch coffee beans. I ordered a flat white to consume there. The staff were friendly and attentive and my drink was made at a reasonable time. The flat white was great. As I sipped on my drink, I admired the photography on display. They also have photography books to browse through as well! Overall, great new addition to the Chinatown area. Love the coffee and photo lab concept. Definitely would return to spend time in the space for a coffee!

Wow. I ordered 8x10 brown photo frames. They looked like they had been made out of recycled…read moreplywood. There was a cheap thin plastic for the screen cover. I paid $238 for six frames that looked like they cost less than $10 to make! When I requested a refund, as their website says they offer refunds and returns, they said that they are located too far away from me to do a return?! I am Canadian (Winnipeg), and they are located in Montreal. Companies will normally do returns to wherever they deliver to. They refused to do a refund also. This company is unfortunately scamming customers now, following a growing trend. I would not order from them again.

I've been thinking for a while that I'd like to upgrade to a digital SLR…read more I went to this Black's and Alex helped me out. He took out a selection of Nikon and Canon SLRs, let me hold and look at them and we talked about what I wanted it for. I don't need an upper end professional model but I wanted something that wouldn't be obsolete in the near future. I appreciated his patience. I ended up buying a Nikon D5100. Black's will provide me with a free tutorial to show me how to use it and I'm going to book it for next week.

Came here to get a passport photo. I also came here 10 yrs ago, so I recently came back again for…read moremy passport renewal. Service was just as great as the first time I came here. There was no wait and the service was quick, and impeccable. I felt the photos were of good quality, it was a great value to get a passport photo with a fast turn around, I was in and out in less than 15min. They take cash that includes tax, so come prepared. They also have a mirror for you to check your appearance before taking the photo and the staff was able to gently and kindly remind me to move my hair, straighten up, etc to ensure the photo was taken to meet standards. The shop is located in the second floor so look for the sign, walk up a flight of stairs and you'll see the office shortly after getting up to the landing.

My family and I have come here anytime we need a photo for ID. This latest visit was for a visa…read more They knew exactly what the requirements were. They are professional and love their work and it really shows. There's a mirror with combs and spraybottle in case you want to do some last min touch ups. They give directions for hair, pose, as well as some post shoot touchups. The whole process took less than 15 minutes and the photos always turn out really nice. I've had a few people see my passport and ask where I've gotten the photo done. Their prices are great too. My dad got lazy once and went somewhere else closer and he paid more for 1 copy than we usually do for 2. We haven't gone anywhere else ever since. This time I ended up getting two digital photos, but you have the choice of digital or 2 hard copy, and you can always come back later if you decide you also want the hard copy. Keep in mind it's cash only. They also do photo for babies. My go to spot for photos, highly recommend.

6 Steps to Passport Photo Success:…read more 1) Walk into convenience store 2) Ask guy if they do passport photos 3) Guy pulls down white screen to stand in front of and pulls out his camera and takes a picture of you 4) Guy prints pictures (he took 3 shots, let me choose which) 5) I pay the low price of $11.30 after tax for my photos 6) I leave within a 5 minute window of arrival With such a quick and easy experience and a cheap $10 fee (one place I called wanted $20 and wasn't open as late), I'm not sure why I wouldn't give this 5 stars.
