Boogie Records Bistro, Puyallup

What makes your restaurant stand out from the competition?

Our customers feel good about enjoying music they love, and being able to come to a place where they feel accepted and can socialize with other music enthusiasts. Our menu offers all the traditional espresso drinks, but we are also introducing Nitro brew (the Guinness of coffee), cold brew and traditionally made Vietnamese French roast. You can also enjoy our fresh baked goods, or have a yummy toasted bagel with one of our homemade cream cheeses, like vegetable medley, roasted pepper and sweet pineapple flavors.

What was the inspiration to start Boogie Records Bistro?

Creating a Record Store Bistro that serves locally sourced products, quality hand-crafted coffee, and gourmet foods. We are rock and roll, authentic and custom while maintaining a "go green" mentality. Our town has a very strong music scene, and our establishment is a great place where music enthusiasts can congregate, listen to records, be nostalgic while breaking bread and drinking locally brewed coffee with friends and new people.

What do you love most about your job?

When a customer stumbles across a record that they have been searching for as if it were treasure. The reaction from customers when they see a record that brings up memories, such as their childhood, family members, first loves, or just an important time in their lives makes for special moments.

Best reaction from customer?

It's very satisfying when people are amazed how delicious our coffee is compared to other corporate coffee companies.
