Checker Records

"Great little shop with an owner with passion for what he does and music! Glad I don’t live closer because I would be spending a lot of money at this great little store! And the coffee was superb!"

"Been going here for years they have a good variety of music in store and have even hunted down some hard to find ones for me it's got a good atmosphere great friendly owners and delicious coffee to sip while you browse"

"This place has such a great vibe, and their coffee and tea flavors are as varied as their musical collection. Pumpkin Spice Chai with Coconut Milk is my new favorite go-to, but I can't say I've ever had a bad experience here."

"I used to go there when I was a kid and now he makes coffee. Love this place. It sure brings back memories. His coffee is freaking good. I got the teddy bear and bought coffee called comfortably numb. Drinks named after bands love it."

"I'm a huge believer in Magic. When I came to Hillsdale for the yearly conference at the college, I thought I knew exactly the types of stores and restaurants would be here. Until I found Checker Records. This is a classic record store with a twist. They serve coffee. Good coffee. Think of this place like a bookstore/coffee joint but with music instead of books. Good music, too. Checker John is the local music guru and along with his wife and a staff of what can only be devotees to the music-coffee cause. Together, they have created a unique space for people to congregate, enjoy some time together over a cup of coffee with great music playing. Go. Enjoy!"
