Stereo

I decided to take my girl on a date night to start at Stereo this past Friday night and I have no complaints (well maybe one!?), but we will get into that later. To start, Stereo is a cafe during the day and turns into a vibey, cocktail cafe with vinyl spins during the night. I have not had the pleasure of visiting during the day as of yet, but will be planning a visit very soon. So my only complaint...parking. There is a small lot attached directly to the building with roughly 6 parking spots and then a shared lot a building over that is pretty small in my opinion. I was driving a pickup truck that night and even if I did find a parking space, not sure I would have fit comfortably so we drove down a street over and parked on the street/neighborhood parking and did a short 5 min walk! There are no reservations so as far as seating goes, they have a few two top tables, a couple loft/couch seating areas for larger groups, and some tables outside on the patio. There is also a large communal table across from the bar which we were able to grab two barstools at within 10/15 min of being there. We originally came here with just hopes of a pre-cocktail hour before dinner and to listen to the vinyls since I myself am a collector. Well let's just say, one drink turned into two drinks and a charcuterie board, but I'm not complaining! See my ratings/descriptions below for what we ordered. Cross Guild Cocktail: 10/10, so clean tasting and the bartender was clearly skilled at his craft. I loved that he took his time creating each order versus batch making cocktails. Noche Sensorial: 8/10, super smoky and I know I'm a hit or miss with Mezcal so I wouldn't take my judgment of this cocktail the most serious Spinner's End Highball: 8/10, a little sweet for my liking but I am a gin fan and this maintained the floral essence of gin and is a great way to introduce someone who may not be the most keen to the spirit Charcuterie (Mahon, Drunken Goat, Finocchiona Salame): 10/10, now idk how or why but this was one of the most simple boards I have ever had but each item was DELICIOUS. Those cheeses and the grain mustard...a hit for us. All in all, the prices were reasonable, the decor gives lofty but light vibe, and the people were diverse and friendly. Can't wait to come back again!

Another darling coffee shop with dope vibes is Stereo. It was a full house on a rainy Saturday, plus they had a vinyl record sale going on. We fell in line to order drinks and food. I got a hot matcha latte, husband a cappuccino and we shared an egg and cheese biscuit. They were super busy so there was quite a wait for our order. They yell your name and you pick up from the bar area. The latte was good but too sweet for my taste, so I drank half of it and gave it to my husband. We did enjoy the biscuit though. It was already premade and heated it up in the oven. They also have liquor behind the bar, so I'm assuming they serve cocktails at some point during the day. Parking can be a pain, but overall, solid place to visit!

Cool vinyl spot with rotating Dj's. The drink selection and the food selection are a-okay. Place is really small and intimate, and suggest making a reservation. Perfect spot to catch up with a friend or take a date. Make sure to catch an Uber/ Lyft - limited parking.

Got parking this time woooot! This plaza can be so busy sometimes haha but it worked out! This is a great coffee shop not too far from where I live. I love the people that work here they are always super pleasant. Their coffee is good, my favorite latte is the honey lavender with oat milk. But I also love their vanilla! If you haven't tried their sausage egg and cheese biscuits definitely try those as well! I take them home and put jelly on them when I'm feeling spicy and they are delicious. Great coffee shop!

Stereo was soo good! The coffee was amazing and the vibe was GREAT!! This spot has lots of natural light and a big open area to meet up with friends. Think of it as a living room coffee shop! They also turn into a bar at night with vinyls spinning and cocktails!! I want to come back for that.

Only reason to give it less than 5 stars is the parking situation, because this place doesn't have access to street parking and the parking lot is pretty small.The decor in here is so cute! It is very open, with a full coffee bar (I think a normal bar at night) multiple leather couches and chairs. The walls are shelved with records and there is a mix table on one side of the building for a DJ to come in. It feels like a very nice retro vibe, and is a very nice place to hang out during the day. I haven't been at night but I do hope to come back.We did get 3 drinks to try here, a cortado, a cappuccino, and a matcha latte. The matcha latte was a little bland, but it was fine, likely wouldn't get that again.

Visited during cocktail hour. Pro | The aesthetics were amazing. Good music and vibe. Not too loud. Can still have a conversation with your friends. Good customer service. Con | Very limited food and drink menu. Wish there was a better selection. Even something pleasing to the eye and fun. Also, was a little confused on where or how to order if you're not at a table and the bar is full. Lastly, parking can be a challenge. Tried the smorgas (3 for $16). Had the shrimp salad, vegetable, and pimento cheese. I'd give them a 6 out of a 10. Also tried the Said the Sky $9. Wasn't strong but was light and refreshing. Will return to try out the coffee. Also, would like to visit on the weekend. Hopefully there will be live music. Beautiful establishment with plenty room to grow.

We passed this spot on the way to dinner and had a few extra minutes so we stopped in to grab a drink. Service was great, drinks were delicious, and the vibes were awesome.

Stereo is located near Krog street tunnel, and the space is humongous. There was tons of parking on the side which made it really easily accessible. The decor and aesthetic of this place is really great. Came super early on weekday and it was already busy! I ordered the matcha latte and it came sweetened already, it was good but a little too milky in my opinion. Overall, they have a great space to chill, catch up with friends or do some work. I did notice a lot of people with laptops here so I assume it's a great study/work spot. The service was friendly as well. Would definitely be back to try the other drinks.

I've visited three times since their Stereo rebrand: once during the day, twice at night. The ambiance is gorgeous day and night: cozy with big windows and well-styled decor. There are individual tables and larger group seating, but are pretty limited. Plenty of standing space to mill around, which was MUCH needed on a saturday. Vinyl records lined the walls, and the DJ sound station was on the opposing side of the bar. Parking is limited, but there's another lot next to Lloyd's PServers and bartenders were kind and offered to clean up but weren't the type to get into conversation with you. Food and drink menus were limited, and the flatbread type smorgasbord we ordered was flavorful yet small for the $16 price tag. My favorite drink was the Spinners' End, a light gin, pandan, and genepy drink.My friends' favorite part was the vinyl DJ sets at night. Sets range from a Japanese city pop focus to the Norah Jones cover of "Black Hole Sun". As a biiig music fan, I loved using this as a chance to discover music over drinks.Overall, a solid spot to be with a group!
