For the Record

Worth it. Opened in 2021, locals consider this some of the best coffee in Brooklyn and it’s only a matter of time before it becomes a staple in the Greenpoint neighborhood.

What I wrote thereFold it away

New York City at times can seem overwhelming. Not every coffee shop allows enough space for a simple hangout. Lucas Deysine wanted to change that by opening one of the best coffee shops Brooklyn has to offer. Creating a space that plays the widest arrays of music and has ample seating, the hours seem to fly by at For the Record.

Hosting community events, For the Record is truly the type of focal point every neighborhood needs. You can view their calendar here. When you physically can’t make it into the shop you can stream the day’s playlist through Spotify.

For those that consider themselves vinylphiles, feel free to sift through the vinyls (and buy a few) at this charming Brooklyn café. Quick tip. For the Record also purchases vinyls, so think twice before tossing out grandma’s collection.
