    Peach Matcha
    Ashley C.

    Stopped in for an afternoon caffeine fix. Their peach matcha had nice quality matcha, which you can automatically tell from the green color of the matcha itself. The peach was really refreshing once you mix the drink altogether. This is a cool spot because they also sell old vinyl records, so you can look around while you are waiting on your drinks. Not sure I'd necessarily come out of my way to return again but it was a good choice while we were in the area.

    Lavender honey iced latte with oat milk

    Fire vibes. Great book selection and vinyl collection. I had the lavender honey iced latte and it was magically delicious. I met the owners Maritza Mars and her partner (forgive me for not remembering his name lord I'm running on 3 hours of sleep). My man had the dark roast Colombian coffee and he loved it. The prices were reasonable and there is seating if you want to go and relax for a bit. Can't wait to come back!

    Variety of good - coffee table reads to purchase !

    Latino-Owned Vinyl Café with Soul, Flavor, and Heart Note - you're probably wondering why 4 starts - well I wish they had a more variety of baked goods . Asteroid Vinyl Café in Inglewood is one of those places you feel good supporting the moment you walk in. Locally owned by Joseph, a Cuban descendant and musician, and Maritza, a Guatemalan descendant who specializes in barista craft and baking, this spot was built from a shared love of music and coffee--and it shows. Open for about a year, the café is lined with records, old-school gems, and music memorabilia that invite you to slow down and stay awhile. Everyone here is genuinely kind. No attitude, no rush--just good energy. Their Café de la Olla is the standout. The syrup is made in-house, rich with warmth and intention, and they proudly use coffee from roasters in Boyle Heights. They don't offer whole milk--only almond milk and oat milk. I chose the oat milk, and it was delicious: smooth, balanced, and full of flavor. Latino-owned, community-rooted, music-driven, and thoughtfully crafted--this place is doing it right. See you guys soon--we picked up some seriously cool, dope-ass merchandise.

    The dopest cafe in the area! If you're wondering if you should check this place out, the answer is a hard yes! Given my recent visit, I loved seeing them thrive! The place was lively with good vinyl playing. Even with the good number of folks, there were still plenty of tables and seating. I snagged one by the window, perfect for getting some work done. I came on a gloomy day and ordered a hot Americano with vanilla. It was delicious and warmed me right up! The espresso was mild, with no acidity, and the vanilla added the right amount of sweetness. No milk necessary! I also purchased a Lenny and Larry's cookie. It went well with my drink. The drink and cookie cost $10.64 without tip. There is plenty of free street parking! They accept cash and display local art.

    found in Inglewood California. This coffee shop is inside a record store. Order your coffee and browse the music stay for the vibes and enjoy the amazing coffee. The service was amazing and there's plenty of seating. As a non-local I just didn't know where to park I did ask when I arrived that the lot behind the building was free parking, I did stay for only 20 minutes not sure where to park for a long-term stay.

    Adorable coffee shop and vinyl store near LAX and SOFI Friendly staff Delicious coffee Cute ambiance to sit and explore some music

    The two records I got, plus a sticker!

    My one visit was AMAZING! Knowing I can order my coffee and then browse through the vinyls meanwhile its getting prep is so great! I managed to meet the owners and they're both sweet! I didn't catch your name but the one who served me the drink let me look through some unmarked/unopened vinyls that haven't been put on floor yet. That alone made me so thankful for the experience! They're so transparent with the prices they showed me what the average was for mint vs very good condition. They're Latino owned and have a TON of latine/spanish vinyls of all kinds. Will be back to support them! There's plenty of parking in the back too! I'm looking forward till the next time I'm there to expand my collection.

    Pistachio latte with oat milk
    Lucia A.

    The pistachio latte was flavorful. I went in the afternoon 2ish or so and it was nice and quiet . I also ordered some concha's to go . It was a great combination of flavor without being overly sweet . Not sure if this is a seasonal drink but it's a great coffee flavor in my opinion . They have books and vinyl records. Cool spot to visit .

    Honestly lucky that they are so local and just down the street from me! Great music taste and verity in vinyls Def would recommend and gonna be back soon ! Thank you !

    Came here for the coffee only, had an interesting vibe but definitely not my style. The coffee shop was nice and clean and the service was great, the barista was giving recommendations since it was our first time here and we were asking him what's good. They had some really interesting sounding flavors, and we got the Mocha De Olla latte iced and Cafe De Olla latte hot and both were great! What was interesting about this shop is that it was vegan only so they didn't have whole milk. I think that was the main negative from my end, since whole milk would have made the drink creamier and the only other negative was that it seemed pricier for the size + price. But the drink and flavors itself was good!

    Guava matcha and horchata latte

    The service was amazing and the cutest vibe. I can't wait to come back and try more lattes. It would be a perfect spot to work from home as well!

There's a huge and decent selection of $5 and under vinyl in bins as soon as you walk in. I found several used albums to add to my collection and they were all in great condition. My 13 year old son also enjoyed perusing the records and kept bugging me to get him the Labyrinth soundtrack, Beastie Boys' "Licensed to Ill" and a Queen compilation but those were all more expensive and I'd just rather we select from the $5 and under bin. The owner was lively and helpful and there's definitely a lot to look at in there from records and CD's to posters, stickers and a collection of colored pens. If you're a record collector like I've recently become, you'll definitely want to stop on in at Dudley's. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Really liked the 5$ and less selection of records when you walk in. Also not just records but cassettes, shirts, stickers, etc. Mostly music related but even some classic movie items. A bit larger than the previous location and located on Hawthorne Blvd., inside a shopping center. Plenty of parking. Hope to return next time I'm in the area. p.s. I believe it's cash only if the total price is less than 10/20 dollars. I unfortunately forget which.

It was a pain to get here, lots of construction causing Terrible traffic and delays since we don't leave on Westside. When we went to check the movie section a store employee was sweeping around customers in that area. My husband went to look at movies and he called him out, insulting him as "oblivious". The employee was too concerned about some in store concert, moved things around. But not about getting business from customers. Rude customer service! Well, that's why folks shop online. Who needs this crap? You go through difficulties to come and support a local record store and that's what you get. No respect! On top, not enough merchandise, poor selection. Dusty. We left what merchandise we were planning on getting and left. To never return! Stay away!

All in the study reported feeling better post exercise but those who listened to "The Four Seasons" said they felt even better; performed even better in cognitive testing. Well, that was enough for me to trade in my vinyl for the aforementioned piece in CD format so I could listen in my car (remember it was twenty years ago). I played "The Four Seasons" as I drove to and from work, wrote reports, did my taxes (similar studies show improved math skills in children), or simply relaxed and like those in the non-control group Ohio study, I felt better even recruited long forgotten vocabulary! Mere weeks ago that very same CD bit the dust; skipped over way too many movements. I washed it, talked to it but it was gone... Yeah, I know there's a myriad of more technologically advanced listening platforms but I'm old school. Enter Record Surplus (The Westside's Amoeba equivalent?) for replacement and much, much more. This place is HUGE! If you can't find disks, vinyl here perhaps it doesn't exist. Ah, but it does! Knowledgeable staff will help you find what you seek. Found Itzhak Perlman's performance of "The Four Seasons" and some Mozart. Recycle or trade your unwanted CDs and vinyl here. Parking on Santa Monica Boulevard.
