I love coffee. But what’s cooler than just another coffee shop, is a coffee shop that’s also a record and antique store. Well, that would be Black Gold Records in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn. 

Housing vinyls of different genres, you can come and dig through crates to find a record (they’re a dying breed), or, check out some of their less than average antiques like taxidermy or a torso statue of organs.

Whether you’re into all that other stuff or not, there’s also coffee. And good coffee at that. They also have a selection of delicious treats, like cookies from The Good Batch.

I got their own Black Gold Cold Brew. Refreshing and with a great, rich flavor, this cup was just what I needed. Shout out to Zagat for featuring this photo in their favorite Coffee Week photos.
