Coffee Vinyl - Antwerp

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

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

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.

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.

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.
