Fuzz Coffee and Records began in 2020 in San Diego as a roaster built around the overlap between vinyl and coffee, started by a team of three musicians who care deeply about both. The flagship cafe on 30th Street in North Park carries the idea into a room where the line is sip and listen, with coffee on one side and a curated shelf of records on the other.

The beans are ethically sourced and roasted in house, sold as bags and as subscriptions, with seasonal selections such as a yeast fermented Nicaraguan coffee and a Tanzanian AA from the Finagro estate. Records are chosen to show the raw and the real from past and present, and the shop also puts out limited coffee and vinyl bundles with bands. It opens at seven on weekdays and eight on weekends.
