Polaroid Fotobar

I was introduced to this store by my sister. She went through my Facebook and took pictures from my wedding and honeymoon and had it made into hard captioned polaroids and framed. It was such a thoughtful and charming gift.
I suggested to my husband that we come here to do the same for our parents as holiday gifts. We went to the store and created an account. From the account you can upload pics from your phone or social media accounts. You choose the captions and what size prints you want. They have all kinds of neat ways to frame the pictures. After selecting what pictures we wanted made we went in the plaza to a restaurant and when we came back everything was printed and waiting for us. I think the prices are very reasonable too.
This is a place to get wonderful gifts from or pictures to keep for yourself. I loved it when my sister did it for me. When my husband and I gave these as gifts to each of our parents they had the same reaction.

I can’t speak for the rest of the products, but I used their Polaroid printing service and I’ve had my pictures for only two months now hanging around my room. They’ve all started to lose their color and appear extremely washed out and white. None of these are in direct sunlight, I live in a dorm room right now with one tiny window and they are never in the direct rays of sun that manage to get through, so not sure why this is happening, but they look awful now.

First off, the Unilocal offer is expired. I tried it. Not sure why it is still showing. Anyways, this place can be a lot of fun and a cool way to find an easy gift for someone. There are plenty of ways to display photos you print. What I don’t appreciate is how overpriced they are. What I reeeeally don’t appreciate is how they use your pictures around the store (in frames, on the wall, etc.) I have seen mine and my boyfriend’s pictures so many times, even after we take them down. We don’t need pictures of his younger siblings up for the world to see without our permission.

The people are really friendly! Nice bunch of young kids who are really tech-​savvy! Now I have somewhere to go for plain walls!

Old School Feel meets New Technology. You can’t go into this place and not get happy. You see all the creations on the wall and the hundreds of ways you can make that great picture extra special and BAM! You are hooked. Great gift ideas, funky gifts and a great staff. Check this out ASAP

This is an awesome «photography store» that is a welcome addition to Delray Beach.
In a nutshell, they sell cool professional images on a variety of canvases, allow you to print your own photographs on a ton of different sizes and textures, and they have all sorts of cool books, accessories, and memorabilia.
If you are a fan of the old school Polaroids (and who isn’t) then you must visit this place.
Although it seems everything associated with photography has moved digital and online, it is nice to visit a place where you can see and feel what your images will look like before you order them.

i was so excited when i discovered this place last night. but that lasted until i received my order. i sent the following email to the company because it said there was a 100% satisfaction guarantee.

while checking out a new shopping center, my brother and i discovered the polaroid fotobar. so we decided to check it out. unfortunately, there were problems with 3 of the mini pictures i had printed. the most obvious was the one of my nephew. i specifically editted the picture so that the top of his head wouldnt be cropped.
when we got the print outs — his head got cropped off the top of the picture and two of the other pictures had this white streak running through it. i showed the problem to the girl that helped me at the store and she said, «i would offer you a reprint, but we can’t print less than 6 pictures.» so i explained that it isn’t good luck to have someone’s head cropped in my culture — and she told me, «knock on wood or something.»
i read your website says that you have a 100% guarantee. i would like a full refund for my purchase — if not possible, please credit my account for the 3 photos that were rubbish.

this was their reply:
I apologize, I’m not able to view the image in my system. Since the order was placed at the store please call 561.865.2537 and speak to them.

if they were capable and willing to help me at the store last night — i wouldn’t have emailed them. HORRIBLE product. HORRIBLE service.

The Polaroid Fotobar is a new store in Delray that is a mix of the old and the new. The store is a mix of Polaroid Store, museum, art gallery and printing station.
Their main focus seems to be the printing. There is a long line of computers that you can easily hope on, make an account and order prints. Some options can be picked up in the store shortly after (like faux Polaroid prints) and others will be professionally printed and available days later. I printed out a few of the «Polaroids»… they are fairly affordable at $ 1 a piece, but with a minimum order of 6. The print time was short, but the store wasn’t packed. They did offer to text me if I wanted to go shopping while they printed. The prints came out nicely on cardstock so they weren’t flimsy, but I did wish there were more editing options when I was setting up the prints.
Being a fan of original polaroids I liked seeing the museum aspect of the store and that they sold refurbished cameras and Impossible Project Polaroid film. They also showed me a small studio space they have in the back of the store that they will eventually use for classes.
All in all it seems like a really well designed store (with a bit of an Apple Store feeling). There were a few small quirks in the operation, but they were only open for a few days, so I’m sure they will be working those out.
A cool spot for photography and polaroid lovers.
