“It did take about a week, which was kinda annoying because I’m impatient, but honestly it was 100% worth the wait.”
What customers say
Great variety of birthday cards as well as other occasions. One of the few places that still develops film. The woman that owns the store has been in the neighborhood for over 30 years and she really knows her stuff. It's a pleasure just going in there and perusing while talking to this very nice woman.
I dropped off my disposable cameras here and I’m actually so happy with how the pictures came out. The quality was AMAZING, way better than I expected. It did take about a week, which was kinda annoying because I’m impatient, but honestly it was 100% worth the wait. Also, the shop itself is really cool to look at.
Thank goodness for this shop! They still process 35mm and 120 film, colour and b&w. My prints and scans came out great. Lots of interesting gifts and bits to browse and they sell analog film too. They even helped me fix an issue with my camera. Great service. Thank you! 😊
I love to come here and admire the frames and the stationery. Patricia helped me get my first film camera up and running when I was gifted one without a lens or a battery and I have always come back for any of my photo needs.
