Heads up that this is a one-sided review: I popped in during a record crawl late on a Saturday afternoon, so I can’t speak to the coffee — and I suspect plenty of people want that side of the story, since it’s primarily a coffee shop that happens to sell records. The space is great. Warm lighting, cool aesthetic, easy to linger in. Staff are friendly enough but hands-off; they’ll ring you up and offer help, but they’re not here to talk music with you. For digging on your own, that’s no problem.
Great spot - coffee selection is relatively limited (no espresso machine), but what they have is good and the staff is uniformly nice. Really, I go for the record selection, which is much better than it has any right to be. I mostly stick to the unsorted “new arrivals” where they stick all sorts of used vinyl albums across rock, punk, new wave, and jazz. A little bit of everything and anything. The rest of their collection is fine but less interesting. Also for sale are vintage t-shirts and othe
Great quality coffee with courteous service and friendly staff always. Feels like a place, everyone is welcome and to chill. Dogs are welcome too greeting with a treat. Charming outdoor setup with social distancing compliance during reopening. I have also bought the beautifully made bag by one of the staff (see photos). 10% off any record purchasing if you bring the bag along to carry the records.
