What customers say
So happy this place exists!! This is my go-to place for film development and the owner, Jay, is the best. He’s super knowledgeable and makes great recommendations for types of film to buy. Their pricing and turnaround for film development is great too. Highly recommend
Jay was lovely! Went here to get my disposable cameras developed. Good quality. Quick turnaround. All the cvs’s and Walgreens in the area don’t developed film anymore. Save yourself the time and energy and go to Photoreal.
Really amazing service! Jay was so nice i needed an urgent pp photo and i didn’t realized the shop was closed and when i gave him a call he opened the shop and gave me such great service! He is the most humble man.
Got quality photos for renewing my passport online (make sure to specify if you want photos for online or prints since the dimensions are different). Got them emailed a few hours later. Cost is $18
