Caydence Records and Coffee

Great atmosphere food and of course coffee all reasonable prices. It's a 90's teen/twenty-something dream come true.

I had heard of Caydence...but never stopped in until last night to catch a gig. Whoa... what a hidden gem!! The door fella was super friendly and caught me offguard when I was reaching for my wallet for the cover charge, when he asked cash or card? We can charge a cover charge? I am a rarity.... no record player, so I didn't look around, also not a coffee drinker so I didn't stop by the counter. I asked the doorman if the shows were standing room only or there were chairs? He said standing but he would check. He popped out w a metal stool. I told him that would be great! The stage area is maybe 35 steps away from the door and there were two small high top tables back there. Before the stage area there are two tables and chairs for guests to sit at, across from the coffee counter. Free street parking is plenty on Payne, most of the hour restrictions are for the afternoon. I liked the friendly door fella even more when he came back to the music area during the first show and was jumping around to the music and taking video! The acoustics/music are great for such a small area. When I left the door fella said they have live music every Friday & Saturday night. I went last night specifically to hear/see the Dirty Pretty but was extremely blown away by the rad music of Polar Red so I may pop in on occasion to hear other local bands... find some new music!
If you like local music, have a record player, drink coffee, or just want to support a local business, stop in to Caydence!! Thanks Caydence, Polar Red and The Dirty Pretty fun an outstanding Friday night!!

Beautiful and classy space. The matcha was nice and earthy, just like how I love it. The savory tartine was delicious! The owner is also super kind and lovely.

Love this place, I've only been a couple of times but I'm hoping to go more! great vinyl and great food!

On a quest to discover the best of the best in local twin city coffee shops. We love finding unique coffee shops and drinks and this one hit the mark.

Drinks - 5 definitely had some unique flavors. Tried the polypia. Who would have thunk that peanut butter, lemon and a latte would be good, but it actually was quite tasty. If I had it again, I'd have less of flavoring and more milk n coffee to cut the sweetness. Didn't try any food bc nothing jumped out at us. But that's ok bc we're over the top bakers.

Service - 5 very helpful, attentive, fast and nice

Ambiance - a solid 5. The throwback to vinyl is only topped by their cool merch. Someone really knows their music and has an eye for fun retro clothing, buttons and stickers

Accessibility - 4 bc it took a bit to find parking and streets n sidewalk were very icy

Probably the coolest coffee shop I've been to in twin cities, if for no other reason because I haven't seen this concept before.
Separate from the idea, it's also a great cappuccino served with foam art and not-hot temperature.
I also thought the outdoor art was really something. Clearly the kind of place creatives go to.

Great coffee, great service. I would definitely come back.
First time here for a relaxing cup of mocha and breakfast tocos. Friendly helpful staff, can recommend.

Love the laidback vibe. I had an americano, which was just ok and the omelet which was very tasty. The side salad was delicious and had a lovely light (but flavorful) dressing. I have had their specialty drink- the Polyphia in the past and it is so good but definitely a sweeter indulgence.

I love this little spot! Parking was easy, the staff was friendly, and the space is nice! I enjoyed perusing through all the records and found a small stack to take home! For coffee, I got a hot Polyphia to go and it was FANTASTIC - the best peanut butter latte flavor I've had and loved the lemon/spice hints to it, too! I would definitely recommend this spot and will be back the next time I'm in town!

I like the drinks, the staff are great, and they have a solid selection of $2 records, which I am all about. Also cool that they host events/shows sometimes.
