Reviews
Absolutely love Black Wax and Black Wax Café! The employees are always helpful and very nice! My daughter has a service dog and they give him a pup cup every time we go in! The live bands sound amazing in there as well! Great atmosphere and great people! Picture of her service dog waiting patiently for his treat!
Been to Black Wax many times, I’ve never been disappointed. The drinks are amazing, and the staff members are always friendly, service is great!
Great place, cool experience but gotta say way to pricey. Been a collector for a while now and Ive only seen prices like this on the rarities. Here not only are you paying for the vinyl but they add on the shipping plus they add on a little extra so they can make a buck
Very cool spot to hang out sip some coffee and discover some physical media new and old. Even found some VHS tapes!
I love the friendliness of the staff and they work hard to make sure your order is accurate and tastes great! I also love that in the record side of the store they are always willing to look and see if they have specific records while you browse for things you didn’t even know you wanted/needed. If you haven’t experienced this place, make it a priority to get there soon!!
Coffee is fabulous! Cold brews are delicious. Atmosphere is, for me, like walking into 1970's record store. 1000's of albums! I've found my new happy place. Thank you Black Wax Cafe.
Place is a gem! So many albums it’ll take all day to go through them! Not just old stuff, they have new albums from current artist. Need a turntable? They got many to choose from. They have a CD section as well but much smaller. Cool decor and plenty of artwork, some of which is taking place on a wall Thule you’re there! Since it’ll take a few to peruse the albums…Grab a hot or cold brew from the coffee shop! Best in town in my opinion! The place is so cool, they have a stage and lounge seating with couches and chairs! It’s so cool I use it for photo shoots! Love this place! These photos are from a recent senior picture shoot that fit her personality perfectly!
Black Wax Cafe is a Kokomo favorite! Delicious drinks and a huge music selection to choose from. I’ve built quite the vinyl collection from my stops here. Love the people working there and the fabulous atmosphere!
