Black Wax Cafe

Place is a gem! So many albums it’ll take all day to go through them! Not just old stuff, they have new albums from current artist. Need a turntable? They got many to choose from. They have a CD section as well but much smaller. Cool decor and plenty of artwork, some of which is taking place on a wall Thule you’re there! Since it’ll take a few to peruse the albums…Grab a hot or cold brew from the coffee shop! Best in town in my opinion! The place is so cool, they have a stage and lounge seating with couches and chairs! It’s so cool I use it for photo shoots! Love this place! These photos are from a recent senior picture shoot that fit her personality perfectly!

We got the frappe flight with coffee added. It was an amazing experience. Very cool vibe in the shop with several unique and comfortable places to have a group conversation over coffee while listening to the awesome variety of music playing over the speakers.
Will definitely return.

Wicked cool place with a great atmosphere and very tasty beverages! The White Hot Chocolate is the perfect drink to satisfy your sweet tooth and warm you up when it's cold outside. I absolutely love their innovative beverages! The owners are really cool and creative, and the space reflects that immensely. I love all the details in the store. It's always so cozy and very aesthetically pleasing. Every time I go there, I see something new!

Threw both away! This place has great vibes but whoever is making the coffee drinks needs more training! My americano tasted like water and my daughter’s latte tasted like flavored milk. They told us they only had 1 size. Needless to say, I’m sitting in the SB parking lot!

Overall the store is really cool. Most of their records are either at close to highest value or priced at least $10-$15 over what pretty much everyone else has them priced at. I was greeted every 5 minutes it seemed like, which is slightly annoying. Some of the employees have terrible customer service. Also don't post inventory online if it isn't available for sale in store yet, and the employees are going to be inconvenienced by being asked about them.

This is a truly cool space. I drove up to Kokomo to try it. its awesome.
That said, they do not know coffee even a little. At least people today. I ordered a cappuccino and got a 18oz drink that was full to top with milk. A very weak latte. I asked them to remake it and they said this is what a cappuccino is. I explained, quite nicely as I am very timid in such situations, that a cappuccino is the espresso and like and inch of milk. The remade drink was basically same thing, at least 14oz of milk.
I am hoping this is not normally the case. I have to think it is not or they would get tired of having people telling them to redo drinks.

First off the drinks were amazing! The Black Tiger was delicious! And the selection of albums- music newer and older was amazing as well. The atmosphere was relaxing. That’s why I gave 3 stars. One for each. But I had to take off two stars for unfriendly staff and quick service. They don’t greet you, say hello, I’ll be right with you or anything. They literally looked at us and just stayed there talking. I started to asked if the drink counter was closed when one finally came to take my order. Then AFTER the order they let me know they didn’t have everything they needed so it’ll be a little bit…. So we waited along time before we finally got our drinks. It would’ve been nice if BEFORE they took our money and asked for a tip (which we gave 15%- that they would’ve communicated that.) we went back one more time for the drinks later bc they were so good/ and we thought maybe the time issue and the rude staff was just a fluke thing- but… same thing- didn’t seem to want to wait on us and took a very long time. It’s unfortunate bc I really love the atmosphere and drinks.I could easily become a regular there. Hopefully in the future they give some training to the young girl working register about friendly greeting and maybe helping out to speed things up.The idea of this place is a great one. I was at the Washington one BTW.

The coffee can be hit or miss, but great selection of records and some novelty items. Super friendly staff too!

This place has a coffee bar, but they don't seem to really know about coffee. I asked about the house drip brew and the young lady at the desk had no idea what I meant and mentioned something about 6 pumps of syrup.
If you like sugary drinks that are related to coffee, this might be a really cool spot to get a drink and peruse some vinyl tho.

These guys are doing everything right. Awesome service, amazing atmosphere, and great new and used vinyl. Plus great coffee! Already planning my next trip back with my wife.
