Had a wonderful experience purchasing a record online from Long Play Café. Brian reached out to me personally to ensure the package was sent to the correct address and provided prompt service and a tracking number. I'll be sure to pop into the shop in person if I'm ever in the area!

Super cute place. It's obviously a coffee shop and sometimes even a venue for music shows, but we came in on Black Friday and emerged shortly thereafter with an armload of vinyl records. For audiophiles, this is a great stop. Inventory includes both new and used records, and the shop boasts about its cleaning of old LPs. Sure enough, you don't get that musty basement scent in there, and while there are much bigger shops to be found, this one feels curated but full enough to nourish. Best of all, the proprietor walks the walk of a music nerd, so you'll happily get the full music store experience. Next time we may try a cappucino too.

I stopped in today to browse the selection and not only was the new stuff selection super impressive but there were plenty of old records in great shape too! The owner is super nice and it's fun browsing records while occasionally petting the dog named Roos (who is a sweetheart). Definitely fills the need of a record store in lawrenceville.

I recently visited long play for the first time. I really appreciated the owner’s knowledge and passion for music of all genres. He is also a great supporter of live music. Thanks for being the real deal! I’ll be back for sure!

Really cool place, nice owner and tons of records to remind you of your earlier years. They sell coffee and beverages as well. And they best thing are the home made pickles available for purchase.

Great record store right on Butler Street! Brian is very kind and helpful.

Stopped here yesterday. Great shop. Owner was very friendly and helpful. A ton of great new selections and older used stuff as well. While we were there, we could see the cleaning and restoration the used vinyl goes through. Used items have a grade sticker which is helpful. I got Framptom Comes Alive, Eagles Long Run and Heart Dog and Butterfly for 29 bucks. The Heart Album sounded brand new on first play. Haven't listened to the others yet. My wife was able to get coffee here to and sit on a couch while I browsed which was a bonus. Usually, she doesn't have that option if she comes with me. Will definitely be back when I am around the area.
This has to be my new favorite record store in Pittsburgh. No pretense, just good music, great coffee and friendly conversation! There is a bit of something for everyone here. The Macchiato latte is incredible too!

New favorite record shop! You can immediately sense the passion the owners have for their business and community.

Coffee and Hot Teas were of excellent quality for reasonable prices! Vinyl selections are varied, but if you want something specific, Brian is more than happy to assist in ordering it for you (provided there's prints of it available to buy).The store also doubles as a fantastic intimate venue to hear live music on certain weekends.

Robert and I love to drive over to Delaware from New Jersey just to go to Long Play Cafe. Brian has a awesome place to hang out, digging through albums and to grab something to eat. We always have a great time when we stop in!!!
