First impression: good coffee, music, and vibes.
It was my first time visiting this coffee shop… and it’s not just any coffee shop! They also sell a wide array of vinyls as well as their own locally roasted coffee beans! It’s also cool that they use the space as an event venue.
The owner was super chill and friendly :) I’d definitely take my friends here and this would’ve been my go-to coffee shop if I lived in the area!

I’m local to Greenpoint and don’t come to For The Record nearly as often as I want to. I stopped in last month to ask for a turntable recommendation and ended up being able to leave with one, as well as a set of speakers. Lucas was incredibly friendly and helpful, the set up was easy and it’s reassuring to know they’re nearby if I had any questions.
The vinyl selection is always fun to browse and the coffee and snacks are great. I love bringing people here and am so happy this store is in my neighborhood. I’d highly recommend them for any record or coffee needs!

Coffee had expired milk. No eggs or hearty items in the AM as online menu shows

Lovely coffee shop with an amazing barista and delicious coffee. I had the matcha loaf with a cold brew and the combo was incredible. Our barista is so kind, sweet, and personable — this is easily a favorite neighborhood spot to grab coffee! 💕☕️

For The Record is the BEST!! Lucas and his staff are so welcoming, they roast their own delicious beans, and it's got a great atmosphere to work, sit with a friend, and listen to some vinyl. For The Record hosted myself and 3 other artists for this year's Greenpoint Open Studios and it was the perfect location. We were set up outside and had amazing foot traffic. 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for a place to host an event in Greenpoint!!

A great little record shop and café, they sell nice coffee alongside vinyl records. They had plenty of nice vinyls I could have bought, and I’ll definitely come back to browse and pick something up in the near future.

This establishment exceeded my expectations with a unique and fun ambiance, some delicious coffee and friendly staff. I even got some of their merch! Needless to say, I cannot wait to come back next time I’m in NYC.
We had an album release listening party here last night and it was the perfect venue for it. Everyone came in commenting on how cool of a spot it was and it was more than enough space for a crowd of 20-30 people hanging out listening to a record. The sound was great too, which was a huge plus. 10/10 would recommend to anyone else thinking of hosting their album release/listening part my here!

Tons of space! Their waffles are delicious and their matcha latte too! Their wifi works great and the lighting in the cafe is good too, not too bright and not too dark.
This is my second time visiting New York City — and of course, my second time visiting For the Record! I’m from Poland, and this little shop in Greenpoint has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. Every time I stop by, I leave with amazing records and a big smile on my face.
Lucas, who works at the shop, is incredibly friendly and helpful. He’s got great taste and always takes the time to chat and make thoughtful recommendations. You can tell he really cares about music and the people who come into the store.
If you’re into vinyl and find yourself in Brooklyn, For the Record is a must. Thanks again, Lucas — see you next time I’m in town!
