Square Cat Vinyl

Due to the snow storm we recently had they had a deal for free shipping, so I went ahead and got 2 records from them. It's rare for me to shop from them since they're more downtown and its hard to get parking. The records came in good condition (one of the inserts was slightly torn, but they couldn't have known that). Happy with what I got!

Square Cat Vinyl is the best vinyl record store around! The atmosphere is cozy with a huge variety of new and used vinyls to choose from! They've got the hot new releases right along the wall as you walk in, along with their "new" used vinyls that they've received in (which are usually VG+ quality or higher). Straight ahead is their coffee bar, which is a great place to grab a mocha while you browse around. I can't speak for the beer, but coffee is usually pretty good and the staff are very friendly. Walking around, you have the vinyls sorted alphabetically so it's easy to find what you're looking for. They've recently expanded their CD collection as well, and they also have a VHS/movie corner for those who collect those media. Listening stations are available for you to try out any of the used vinyls, with provided headphones (although last time I was in, one of the stations was out of order). OH! I almost forgot to mention! Check out their Instagram for any listening parties for upcoming new releases! I recently attended the Florence and the Machine "Everybody Scream" listening party as well as the Peanuts 75th Anniversary listening party with my partner--both of which SCV offered FREE posters! That's just another small thing SCV offers that makes it my favorite record store!

Have loved coming to Square Cat for many years They have expanded their vinyl collection over time as they have added more space They are great at supporting the community and local musicians/artists Don’t expect to get in-a-minute-quick service for when ordering, because they are making it all fresh and with love for you. It’s not Starbucks, it’s square cat. They craft with care so you can sit and enjoy the ambiance and browse the selection leisurely. Don’t try to rush; enjoy the experience. They really rock Record Store Day every year too 😎

I have gotten Lattes here before and they are pretty good, definitely a good place to get work done. However, this is primarily a record store. They have a good selection and the atmosphere is very cozy. Sometimes they have live events, which is pretty cool. Love the DVD room and listening area.

The guys I was with said the coffee was good. The atmosphere was fun, being inside a vinyl record store where they played cool music. There's a stage, and they play live music sometimes.
