What customers say
Coastal Film Lab is my favorite place for 35mm film development and I seriously can’t say enough good things about them. The staff is so friendly and down-to-earth, and they really know their stuff when it comes to cameras and film. Every time I get my scans back, I’m blown away.
I sent my first roll of 35mm to Coastal based on the glowing reviews, and of course I love supporting local business wherever I can. I was blown away with their service and quality. I had no clue what I was doing, but they made the whole process extremely approachable.
Been coming here to get my 35mm Film developed since around December of 2024 when I first got into film. Every time I come the staff is always friendly and helpful. Honestly, I tell any and everyone about this place.
Looks like a great shop. Just dropped off 2 rolls of film for developing and 2 VHS tapes for digitizing. They're expanding so hopefully turn around times will be faster in the future. **EDIT** 5 days later and my VHS is scanned and my film is developed, just waiting for scanning.
