“If you want a place to find any album ever made, there is no such place. Welfare Records is about the closest thing you will find to just that. Every record ever pressed. Knowledgeable staff, honest owner, and an overall great experience.”
“This is by far one of New England's greatest metaphysical shops and Education Centers.Whether you are new to crystals, divination tools, tarot, healing or whatever it may be, this place is incredible. I visited the old place a number of times and the new location is simply incredible.I vowed not to by anything, just take a peak and I left the shop with a large box of an amazing Kwan Yin.They have a fantastic space for classes and workshops. It's absolutely worth taking a drive out there.”

“If you are looking for vinal albums, music CD's, laser discs, books or games this is the place! Very nice selections and cool bumper stickers, magnets and other cool things. Worth the check out.”
“They have an adorable children's section with great books. They have a "growing up" bookshelf with tons of useful books with sweet messages. Staff was very friendly but not overbearing.”
“Great atmosphere and even better food. Staff and owners are always extremely kind and inviting. Cozy book shop in the front with lots of very interesting and thought provoking material.As far as Mexican food in the area, this place is unmatched.”
“Amazing store with a wonderful, God-fearing staff who treat their jobs not as merely sources of income, but as their ministry and vocation to spreading the Holy Gospel.”
“Clean parking lot and inside the store. There are SO many books to choose from. I was in search of "Yankee" magazine. My Colonial Fffes and Drums, Middlesex County Volunteers, was in this latest issue. I learned that Barns & Noble sells quite a variety of magazines. I was excited to locate the Yankee magand a photo of Middlesex County Volunteers Fifes and Drums There's also a Starbucks with seating too.”
“Came in today 09/23/2025, The employee Jessica was such a great help! She was very knowledgeable in the genre I was looking for. I can’t wait to return to this location. I hope more locations hire staff like her.”
“Great going here, mainly cause I went with my friend named Josh and made a fool of both of us. The staff are nice and friendly, though like most teenagers/ young adults they did kinda seem a little tired, but that's ok, working a job in a toy store can tend to be stressful at times. Always love stopping in every now and then!”
“A true gem and must visit. They recently moved locations but maintained the charm and elegance of a longstanding independent bookstore. Money well spent and time is never wasted here!”
