Black Gold Records
461 Court St, Brooklyn, NY
Crema's Take
“Black Gold Records is a vinyl lover's sanctuary that happens to serve genuinely excellent pour-over coffee, with baristas who treat each cup with the same care collectors give their records. The no-espresso approach means you're getting thoughtfully sourced drip coffee that lets the beans shine—perfect if you're the type who appreciates nuance over speed. It's the kind of place where you'll lose hours flipping through vinyl, sipping smooth black coffee, and feeling genuinely welcomed by staff who seem to actually enjoy being there.”

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 other memorabilia. Small space, but it’s convenient and local and opens early so you can dig in the crates any time of day. A face
Excellent little vinyl shop with the BEST individualized drip coffee in the neighborhood. Seriously, as a black coffee drinker, this coffee is PERFECT. No bitterness whatsoever.
A vinyl shop, with coffee ☕️ tea 🫖 and cozy vibes.
Been meaning to check this place out for a while… Chill small record shop, the cold brew isn’t the greatest but at least they have it! Grabbed a Led Zeppelin record…
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.
