    Hi all, in this review I want to give you a fair warning about this coffee bar/ record store. Granted, they have a massive collection of vinyl and also serve ok coffee. Prices are on the high side but that should not always be a dealbreaker. And the owner tries to upsell and is kind of arrogant/unfriendly. My main gripe with this store however is that they sell unofficial records. Last time I was in the store I checked the Tool section, found a version of Aenima and of Lateralus that I thought had never been officially released, checked discogs, and bingo... a bootleg in my hands. Also, upon archiving my vinyl collection on Discogs I discovered that this dude has sold me unofficial copies of Ill Communication by Beastie Boys and Daydream Nation by Sonic Youth. I already knew my copies of those sounded like garbage. Now I know why. Therefore, my advice to all vinyl lovers out there is: if you are ever in Antwerp and want to buy some records, avoid this store AT ALL COST. There are far better record stores in Antwerp, such as Fat Cat records. Heck, I would rather go to Fnac than to this place

    Never felt more unwelcome. Staff was incredibly rude and treated us like criminals. If you hate your job, stop and find something you do like. Vinyl collection is large bur REALLY overpriced.

    Not a real nice guy indeed, a lot of records but expensive, and if stuff is categorized as he thinks it should he doens’t know too much about music. Like James Last in the funk departement

    Nice spot to stop for a beer after a walk around the Zuid area. Good beers like Seef in bottles on offer if you want something stronger than a coffee. Great vinyl selection.

    The best record store i have ever seen. I have been looking for a rare vinyl Joe Bonamassa - Record Store Day Exclusive Press for a while and when i went there i found it. It was a amazing one. Prices are pleasant and vinyl stands are organized. Should to be see there.

    Very cool shop. Lovely art and extensive choice of vinyl. Also a cafe, so in my opinion definitely worth a visit.

    Unfortunately, I can only agree with the other negative reviews, the little extra is when after buying a few hundred euros worth of records sold at full price, the seller recovers the plastic sleeves. Small, did you say small? how petty...

    An authentic place filled to the brim with records. Both old and new, popular and superobscure, this shop is every vinyl lovers dream come true. The coffee is not half bad either!

    Awsome! A big Vinyl collection that you can listen to while you enjoy you coffee! Great spot to relax for a bit and dig around in the Vinyl records boxes!!

    In the summer you have a smal terrace but also the personnel is very friendly. The varriation of Vinyl is huge! Also recordplayer.. but after searching around you can sit in the cosy corners and have some great coffee and or cake. One of the most authentic coffee places in Antwerp for sure.

    Topshop for those records that you can find in a completely casual atmosphere between art and kitsch and coffee and a can have a conversation with the manager Lars, lovely guy, great concept, and thousands of records

👍 Great atmosphere. Unique decoration. Lots of variety in drinks - I ordered Miss T Luice beer which they didn’t have, so I ordered another one, of course not a big problem.- We went there around 6 pm. The live jazz music was really amazing but too short - like 30 minutes from when we sat- which I wis...
