The Good Stuff

Combination record shop, bookstore, and cafe. Got a hot tea and flipped through some albums. Nice local spot.

Great record selection, and a fantastic concept of cozy coffee shop meets record store. The coffee is REALLY good. The guy working in the shop was really sweet and nice to chat about music with.

The Good Stuff is a tiny store that sells a tad of everything: coffee, vinyl, CD-s, books, cool t-shirts. It's a cute, hip store/coffee house that is fun to check out while walking around Guadalupe St.Prices are a tad high, not a huge selection, but it has a trendy vibe.

Even hipsters need a place to hang in Santa Fe, and Jamie W. and I believe we found it here on the corner of Guadalupe and West San Francisco. Over our brief vacation here, we discovered Guadalupe Street divides Santa Fe between the tourist saturation happening toward the plaza on the east and the quietude of the residential neighborhood on the west. That's what makes the location ideal for a low-key shop that sells quite simply books, vinyl records, and coffee. The somewhat contrived formula appears to have worked for over a decade according to a local blog I read.I found this surprising since it reminded me a bit of the Scotch Tape Boutique on the early years of SNL. Just kinda too specialized even though I was in a nostalgic haze when I saw album covers featuring the Thompson Twins and Men at Work. But I have no idea where my hi-fi turntable is, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one. We did, however, need to wet our whistles on our walk back to the hotel, so a couple of $3.65 Iced Coffees sounded refreshing (photo: http://bit.ly/2Xy88dF). And they were as they were good cold brews well executed. Maybe I'll buy a record. OK, probably not.COFFEE - 3.5 stars...good cold brew indeed AMBIANCE - 3 stars...a specialty store that's s little too special if you ask meSERVICE - 3 stars...they certainly like their regulars TOTAL - 3 stars...the good stuff was for us the iced coffeeRELATED - Do you know the way to Santa Fe? Here's a collection of places I've visited and reviewed: http://bit.ly/2I4mWdq

This precious corner cafe has awesome selections of second-hand records, cds, tapes, and books (both fiction and nonfiction). Prices are reasonable with many "steals" in the mix. Would be extra dope if they carried more current records too (but then that wouldn't be vintage now would it). Also, the barista was so friendly and knowledgeable-- he can even sing like an angel while making a latte! Will be back again...

Fun place to ease drop on people talking about the intellectual rhythms of Bob Dylan's early years vs. that weird Christian album he put out. A spot that is nice to reminisce on the early years of my hipster life. Coffee is good and browsing is fun, prices are high.. but sometimes it's good to treat yourself. And if your like me and now a not-so-cool mother.. you can count on inexpensive children's records that will make your damn day! If I wasn't a local but a tourist I would def buy myself a souvenir tee here. Or mug. Something cool.

Love this place. Have primarily gone for the books - don't think I've ever ordered from the cafe, come to think of it, though everything looks nice. But the owner is a super nice guy and the book selection, as it should be in a space this size (many other bookstores should take note), is very well-curated, meaning you're not going to see much junk or filler. Last time I was in I bought a strange little novel in translation and the memoir of a goat farmer.

Reasonably priced records ranging from Scott Joplin to The Eagles to modern releases. Cheaper than my local record store. Cute souvenirs (t-shirts and coffee mugs), plus coffee as well (although I didn't get the chance to try it). Certainly worth browsing if in the area.

The Good Stuff is exactly that--where you can find the good stuff in Santa Fe. The beverages are delicious (everything from matcha lattes to a strong shot of espresso), the books are varied (a wide range of used gems plus new selections, art books, local authors/presses), and many-genred vinyl to peruse. A truly great spot to stop in Santa Fe for both tourists & locals.

What a great coffee/record store/bookstore!!! Yesterday was my first time going in and I was surprised and so happy I went in! Good coffee, so many awesome records and books. T- shirts too! I will be back!
