From the reviews

Really a great place for used classic records. Has nice jewellery and a good selection of clothes for those of you that like 60's or 70's style sundresses. You can get gifts and other neat things. Really nice break from the beach tourist shops. Staff and owner are really nice and helpful.

★★★★☆ — Alex, May 2018

Tumbleweeds in Niantic is my favorite small business store and I always have the best shopping experience. The clothes are unique and their local jewelry crafters are special. The owner, Tara, provides exceptional customer service. She knows my taste and selects clothing for me to try on that suits me.

★★★★★ — Tammy, Sep 2024

I found this record store by accident really. I was searching for a specific record and found it here at a great price! I took a chance and ordered from them. She shipped out my record the very same day!. The vinyl came in exactly the condition listed. I strongly recommend buying from this site!

★★★★★ — Tiffany, Feb 2025

I just started collecting vinyl and have been to several shops. Tumbleweeds hands down was the best. Their customer service is excellent. They were very helpful. It is clear they have a passion for what they do. I had many questions about collecting, which they answered.
