“The prices are super solid, they have a really great used collection (one of the best I’ve ever seen) and I also got some super bomb coffee here!”

What customers say

Excellent place to get both new and used albums as well as cds. Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Special order was not a problem. Locally owned.

★★★★★ — Scott, 2026-02

Stopped in for the first time over the weekend. Owner was super friendly and very helpful. Selection was limited, but had some really good finds (I picked up a Childish Gambino - Camp 2LP as well as a The Who - Hooligans 2LP among others).

★★★★★ — Ansel, 2020-09

This spot has a really easy vibe. The light-filled space is part record shop, part vintage store, part coffee stop, and it all fits together in a way that feels natural. The vinyl selection is strong. lots of quality pressings, a good mix of classics and finds you don’t come across every day.

★★★★★ — Maren, 2025-09

Absolutely love this place. The selection is thoughtfully curated, with everything from classic staples to unexpected gems you didn’t know you were looking for. The staff is genuinely friendly and super knowledgeable, which makes digging through crates even better.
