Uncle Tony’s Donut Shoppe

I recently checked out the Donut Shoppe. Out of all the shops in the Orlando area I decided to venture here first. Glad I did!
THE GOOD…
–As soon as I walked in Hector made me feel welcomed as if I was any regular customer
–shop is very clean and modern
–a good amount of rare LPs on the walls
–bins filled with world music, reggae, jazz, soul, funk and some other stuff in between
–nice condition of records that I did check
–a couple of bargain bins (if that’s your thing)
–bunch of 45’s to dig through
–two turntables in front of the the shop so you can check stuff out (no headphones, but just ask and you can check it out)
–will do mail order
THE BAD…
–some stuff was priced a bit high in comparison to what I’ve seen elsewhere (outside of FL)
Overall, my first experience was most positive. I walked out with two records. There was definitely more I wanted to snag, but price was a deciding factor. I’m not talking the ones on the wall, but several in the bins. I’d definitely return though!

These guys not only know their stuff, they are willing to share their music knowledge with you. This is a place where the staff takes pride in their store, merchandise and treat their customers like family. Big box retail has bled into all of our lives. I feel like shopping at a mall or big box store has killed the customer service experience, NOT HERE they care who you are and what you listen too.
Give them a shot, your ears will thank you.

Decided to walk into this place before a show, had a few hours to kill. Some of the coolest, most knowledgable guys around. Extremely rare and sick collection of records. These guys make this place feel like a home, they really love what they do and you can find yourself talking about music for hours.

Visiting this shop was a treat. Very easy to peruse thru. It’s obvious that the owners focus on housing high quality records in this shop. The employees are knowledgable and great to converse with. The overall vibe in this shop is nothing but ‘Cool’. Will definitely be returning to Uncle Tonys to acquire awesome records.

5 Stars for a record-junky’s absolute heaven!
I’m admitting right off the bat that I’m not very knowledgable when it comes to records and obscure music. What I liked about this shop was the fact that despite that, I was treated with such respect and the owner talked to me for a while about how he obtains the incredible records they have in stock, the renovations he did to the space, local events he’s involved in, and Orlando in general. I’m a talker and I appreciated how open he was to indulging my questions.
I was only in the shop for a short time looking for a unique gift for a friend but my impressions were of a boutique space that’s been decorated with deliberate style. From the polished concrete floor to the custom wooden furniture and accents, the shop feel both industrial and also 70s groovy. There’s a turn table playing music while you flip through the shelves of records and even a few retro couches for when you want to give one a listen. The space really puts you in the mood to spend some time listening and grooving.
Another thing I dig is that they carry clothing and accessories by Biggest & Baddest (a brand of The BBoy Spot) giving you a hint about the incredible BBoy scene in Orlando at the moment. They also carry a few retro boom boxes and vintage record players (that make me want to chuck mine out and decorate a room around one of these funky gems).
This spot started as a pop-​up shop in the Milk District and I hope it succeeds in its new permanent location because it is the kind of shop I don’t want Orlando NOT to have. This won’t be the last time I stop by the Donut Shoppe!

Great record shop! Knowledgeable employees and an excellent selection of rare vinyl. Definitely worth stopping in!

Best record store I’ve visited in the Florida area. Only good quality records, no need to go thru hundreds of records to find a good one. They’re very picky about what they carry, only heat and rare gems.
To add to this, the owners are great folks and very knowledgeable. Could go in there and talk to them for hours. My new hang out spot.
Hands down, dopest dope.
