Royal Cat Records

The used record selection prices are crazy expensive. This store hasn't been the same since Bryan and Kara sold it. What a shame it was such a great store.

I love this shop! Sarah is such a knowledgeable, personable and attentive record shop owner, and the store has never been better! Great collection, with a little something for everyone.

Cool shop that's well organized, clean and fun to dig through. New stuff is priced really well and there's a pretty good variety. Used stuff is priced too high on the low end. Stuff that should be $6-$8 is usually $10-$15, but stuff that should be $20-$30 priced correctly. Maybe the shop is buying for and that's redirecting in the prices? They also sell some fun accessories and clothes. Definitely worth a stop if you're in town!

Another 5* record store in Guelph. We live in special times. Royal Cat is exclusively dedicated to Vinyl, both new and used, and while the store has an intimacy given it's size, you bask in being surrounded by records on all sides---up the walls, in bins, filed along the floor. It is a real treat popping in here as you'll get lost for an hour easily if you're actually motivated to poke through the collection. The owner is a real pleasure to chat with and I've found her and any other staff I've encountered to be warm, welcoming and knowledgeable.Modern vinyl has trended to a very expensive place; however, I think it worth mentioning that I find Royal Cat to have some of the best prices on both new and used LPs so it's an easy stop to make anytime I'm near downtown Guelph.It's at the level of local, independent retailers where the magic has always happened and I dearly love community retailers who clearly have a passion for the business and make what is otherwise just the act of shopping into something genuinely enjoyable. Royal Cat is one of those stores and deserves your attention if you're into vinyl.

Nice selection, friendly service and lots of vinyl to pick from. Highly recommend this place.

Met the owner Jason, stand up dude and his passion for music is infectious

Good selection of new records and super helpful staff make it a treat to go and browse. Check the Instagram page for new arrivals over the website, it's a bit more up to date. Good used selection as well!

Nicely curated selection in a clean inviting storefront. Pricing on new records was on par, as were the better" used titles. My 3 star review comes from the overpriced common records that should be $5

Amazing experience at RCR. I was blown away by, not only the incredible selection, and great pricing but also the amazing service I received from the new owner. It's very clear she has a deep knowledge and passion for music, specifically vinyl. She was also very welcoming and super friendly. I will be back. Highly recommend this local gem!

I love this place. Staff are incredibly helpful and hella pleasant. Selection of music is GREAT and a must go-to for your music needs. Royal Cat Records is a absolute must go when in the Royal City.
