Came here for the 5SOS listening party and ordered their house cold brew. It was a really good cold brew, probably best i’ve had in NYC. Lucas was amazing at getting the crowd hyped up lol and setting up the mood. Crazy night, crazy vibes, loved it! Will be coming back!!

This place is the best. I went for a listening party and the owner Lucas was so accommodating and hospitable. The space was filled to capacity with emo kids scream singing Hayley Williams and Lucas was vibing along with us. Great energy. Very cool experience. Will be back.

Amazing record store in Brooklyn. Great collection, easy to access, and they throw amazing listening party. I was there for Olivia Dean’s new album listening party recently and the vibe is through the roof. I’ll definitely be back!

First impression: good coffee, music, and vibes. It was my first time visiting this coffee shop… and it’s not just any coffee shop! They also sell a wide array of vinyls as well as their own locally roasted coffee beans! It’s also cool that they use the space as an event venue. The owner was super chill and friendly :) I’d definitely take my friends here and this would’ve been my go-to coffee shop if I lived in the area!

I’m local to Greenpoint and don’t come to For The Record nearly as often as I want to. I stopped in last month to ask for a turntable recommendation and ended up being able to leave with one, as well as a set of speakers. Lucas was incredibly friendly and helpful, the set up was easy and it’s reassuring to know they’re nearby if I had any questions. The vinyl selection is always fun to browse and the coffee and snacks are great. I love bringing people here and am so happy this store is in my neighborhood. I’d highly recommend them for any record or coffee needs!

For The Record is the BEST!! Lucas and his staff are so welcoming, they roast their own delicious beans, and it's got a great atmosphere to work, sit with a friend, and listen to some vinyl. For The Record hosted myself and 3 other artists for this year's Greenpoint Open Studios and it was the perfect location. We were set up outside and had amazing foot traffic. 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for a place to host an event in Greenpoint!!

A great little record shop and café, they sell nice coffee alongside vinyl records. They had plenty of nice vinyls I could have bought, and I’ll definitely come back to browse and pick something up in the near future.

We had an album release listening party here last night and it was the perfect venue for it. Everyone came in commenting on how cool of a spot it was and it was more than enough space for a crowd of 20-30 people hanging out listening to a record. The sound was great too, which was a huge plus. 10/10 would recommend to anyone else thinking of hosting their album release/listening part my here!

This is my second time visiting New York City — and of course, my second time visiting For the Record! I’m from Poland, and this little shop in Greenpoint has quickly become one of my favorite spots in the city. Every time I stop by, I leave with amazing records and a big smile on my face. Lucas, who works at the shop, is incredibly friendly and helpful. He’s got great taste and always takes the time to chat and make thoughtful recommendations. You can tell he really cares about music and the people who come into the store. If you’re into vinyl and find yourself in Brooklyn, For the Record is a must. Thanks again, Lucas — see you next time I’m in town!

When you come here you are guaranteed to walk out with a smile. The owner, Lucas, is such a genuine human being and you can tell by the way he greets you & the way he remembers you from the moment you walk in. Our recent trip was for Record Store Day, a day that is very fun but almost guaranteed to be hectic. Not only did Lucas organize a special day so well, but he also made it enjoyable, and 'for the community'. I really appreciate and respect how he makes everyone feel. Being able to experience it myself as a happy customer, but also to witness it from everyone who comes in. Not to mention, the beverages and coffee being a great additional touch to the wide range of records available to browse. Today was really great, and so is every time that I come to this spot. Definitely check it out when you get the chance. And Lucas, thanks for making this spot so great.

Friendly owner, great amount of space/seating. Relaxing/chill music so you can still get work/reading done. Latte was rich in flavor, a great blend. They also host weekly chess night etc

Our team had an opportunity to plan a pop-up exhibition at For the Record, which remains one of our best memories in time! The location is perfect and large enough to do any kind of event. The atmosphere itself is very hip and cool! The best part is that the owner of the venue is very gentle and supportive. Regardless of the location, if you like vinyl, you should come to enjoy it with a cup of drink! P.S. Their iced tea and match latte taste delicious! Not very sweet, but well well-balanced!

It’s a great themed cafe, good space and the records and a really nice touch. One of the best atmosphere creators for sure. The coffee was broadly average. I got a 7.8 cortado, it had some flavour and nothing offensive in the beans. Overall, nice place.

I ordered a latte with waffle. I start by saying that the latte was good. The waffle seemed stale despite being toasted a little. In terms of service, it was subpar as answers to questions were insufficient and there was no friendliness. The location is decent and the ambiance was great due to the records collection and the aesthetics.
