Inside is the perfect kind of chill setup to enjoy piping hot coffee over friendly debates of who witnessed the best show to ever take place at Neumos, or if Eddie Vedder will ever actually run for president one day. After you’ve selected your caffeine kick, flip through new and used records from all types of genres and snag a couple records to take home with you.

If you’re a record collector, we highly recommend checking out Porchlight’s own brand of slip pads, designed by Zach Bolotin to keep your record player at home handsome.

Like a classic record player, Porchlight Coffee & Records is cool, retro, and sleek without even trying. And in these days of downloads and virtual clouds, it’s nice to know Seattle still has an untouchable record and coffee scene that will be around as long as the real clouds above the city.
