Black Gold Records

Black Gold Records is a hybrid record store and coffee shop on Court Street — browse curated new and used vinyl while drinking specialty coffee in a warm, vintage-feeling space that could only exist in a neighborhood with Carroll Gardens' mix of old-school character and creative-class energy. The record selection spans multiple genres and the shop hosts live music events. The coffee program covers third-wave fundamentals alongside a pastry selection that works for the morning browsers. The concept is simple but distinctive: a record store where you actually want to stay awhile, with coffee that makes the lingering easy. A unique addition to the Court Street corridor that draws both vinyl collectors and coffee drinkers, often converting one into the other.
