Visiting our son at CSULB and my record loving husband found this spot. Loads of different stuff. Lots of Japanese imports. Lots of ska and punk but other genres were represented. Tons of punk tshirts in drawers under record racks. Staff was helpful and pleasant. I got a text from my husband saying "leave me here forever" and I think he may be serious. I've been in the car for like 30 minutes. read more

Super cool selection of different genres of records. I walked out with some nice soul, rock, punk, and jazz. I'm old and when you're old , you can be more open to different stuff . But the best part of this store was meeting Andy, the owner who was very helpful offering his suggestions when I asked about bands I was not familiar with. He has two nice dogs too that are very chill . Robert B read more

It was awesome that they had in stock a couple of mc lars's albums on vinyl also it was also cool that they rhrew in a sticker with my purchase for free on a previous visit. read more

Great shop if you like punk/hardcore, ska and metal. They've got some other stuff too but that's the main focus. I've found some random stuff here and prices are always reasonable. Best punk record store in Long Beach. read more

Great store. Nice selection of records. They have a large section of Japanese records you rarely see in stores stateside

Wondering if you should stop at this record store? Well the answer is yes. Great selection and great service.

Toxic Toast Records - Depeche Mode - Music & DVDs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Top choice for vinyl in Long Beach in my opinion. Their collection is curated, so you won't find a wide selection in every single genre, but it appeals to multiple different tastes & they often have rare records. The prices are always fair, and I've seen the employees research market value on the spot to accommodate their customers. They are always honest about the condition of their merchandise & will happily let you play-test in-store. Andy, Izzy, and Zac are all super helpful, friendly, and welcoming every time we visit. They let us know when they expect to drop more records & even remember specific tastes of ours and other customers, also going above and beyond to help anyone looking for something specific. I love sporting my Toxic Toast tote bag to show off my love for them & as a result often refer people here. read more

I love this place so much. All the classic city pop and Japanese press stuff. So much stuff to spend money on . I come all the way from San Diego just to geek out . read more

Glad to be back in record stores again! Previously was limited hours during the pandemic, but now this amazing Punk/ Rock/ Indie store is back to its normal hours. I like the sound tracks, great selection of Japanese press records. Feels like things are getting back to normal. Wed-Sun 12-7pm read more

I often go hunting for records on vacation or when I get a little extra cash from the holidays and I sure do get my money's worth in this shop! I have been a costumer for going on 3 years now and it's always my first stop when in LBC. I live about a hour away but make the day my way out beee because I know the selection and prices are worth the distance. Thank you for bringing live music to the community we need more DIY safe spaces like your It's nice to have a friendly owner as well as knowledgeable employees it makes supporting a business more personal. It's a nice environment with the sweetest reside dog named Toast. I will be recommending you to friends and family locally and when visiting town! Happy New Year.

See all

Any record store that has survived into the 21st-century deserves five stars! Any record store with the name Toxic Toast deserves a metal! Thanks guys! read more

Walked in to Toxic Toast on Saturday and what an amazing gem of a record store...great Punk and Ska selection and without the hipster inducing prices! Dude at the counter was so cool and welcoming, breath of fresh air from the dicks spewing the "I know more than you" mentalities of other shops! Was able to score their rare Vampira with Satan's Cheerleaders album and damn is it cool! Will definitely be back often!!! read more

Great quaint venue and super authentic, sweet staff. They've got hard to find legit gems ... just picked up a 12" Soul Coughing Sugar Free Jazz and couldn't be more stoked. Great 90's rock and punk selection ... very fairly priced. I highly recommend stopping in if you're in the area. Positive place 360, for sure! read more

By far my favorite record store, ever. One of the employees, Zachary, is kind and knowledgable, especially when it comes to extreme music genres (black metal, power electronics, etc) and the gems you will find here are far beyond anything you'll find in other local record stores if you're a serious collector. First time I went I found a Velvet Cacoon LP in incredible condition and I was sold. Not to mention he has a side project in which he sells even more obscure/underground bands. The whole staff is also easy and fun to talk to as well as a wealth of knowledge. 1000% recommended. read more

One of my favorite places to get Japanese pressings and imported Japanese music. The associates in the store are very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. They even take requests as far as finding things you're looking for to bring them to the store read more

Owner is rude and nasty. Sold a damaged vinyl record. Instead of working to replace the item, owner berates me and is completely disrespectful. Spend your money elsewhere. This shop deserves to go out of business soon! read more

Toxic toast is toxic for the window shopper. This shop is more for collectors rather than listeners, lots of expensive Japanese imports, but lacks US traded vinyl. Plus employees seemed like they didn't wanna be there. Peace. read more

The record store for the collector! Love this place. I find stuff here I'd never be able to find elsewhere. All genres, too, with a constantly expanding selection. Add onto that the shirt wall, and a knowledgeable and friendly owner, and you have the best new spot in Long Beach. read more

Toxic Toast Records - The owner, Andy, rules! Super knowledgeable, rare product, great prices. - Music & DVDs Near Me - Long Beach, California

Just recently came across this place a few weeks ago, and its awesome! They have a great selection and the guy working there is very friendly and knowledgeable. read more

This store is fantastic! Great for record collectors and snobs lots of imports and rare vinyl. Great shirt selection, too! Will be shopping here again :) read more

Very cool record store with some hidden gems & Japan imports! They have an awesome reggae-ska-punk collection! I'll be back

The manager &/ employee were really helpful, knowledgeable and patient. They stayed open an hour later than when they closed, to look up all the records i had brought in, (sorry guys) hah. They also gave me more money for my records than the other 5 star rated record stores in Long Beach. *cough. !Willing to trade, give store credit, or cash. Really cool, welcoming place. Patches, buttons, shirts, records. First record store i've seen a Dresden dolls record in, which got my approval instantly ha. I'll most definitely come back here for all my vinyl needs. read more

Such a rad little record shop right in the heart of Long Beach! Super helpful and incredibly friendly people who work there and the CUTEST dog, Toast roaming the shop while you scan through a variety of new and classic albums! Definitely will be back read more

I luckily found Toxic Toast during their soft open and I'm really excited to have found a great new record store in Long Beach. The store is on the smaller side but it's all killer, no filler. Tons of original pressing and Japanese and UK imports and all the shirts and patches, etc. are band/label sanctioned. Prices are realistic and competitive, bucking the recent trend in pricing in local stores. Already my favorite record store in SoCal. read more

A little bit pricey but the service, knowledge and organization is what amazed me! Would go back in a heart beat.

Had a great Record store day at Toxic Toast Records. Andy welcomed us to the store and was very helpful. Also, while talking to us, he welcomed every visitor. I was able to get a few things. Well worth going. read more

Wow!! I'm in my 40's and this place reminds me of the great record stores of my youth - (like Peer Records, Zed Records, Bionic Records & even Music Market!!) The owner Andy is SUPER knowledgeable and can find you whatever it is you are obsessed with. He has promised me some rare Cocteau Twins vinyl & I know he will deliver!! This store also boasts the best selection of tee shirts BAR NONE!! you can't leave without purchasing one!! seriously, please support this local gem!!! read more

What can I say but what a killer vinyl store. Andy is extremely knowledgeable and passionate in bringing in the highest quality possible. I fell in love with the place instantly. Toxic Toast Records is going to fill in a much desired niche for those who have a love for collecting. The place is small, but big in concept. For those in the LA area, give them a call and then go. read more

Solid selection of music and great staff. If you're looking for some good rare gems this is the spot. Just know that your bank account may hate you after read more

one of the worst record stores I have ever seen. they only carry records by a few artists. Call ahead and ask what they have or you will just be wasting your time. Parking is atrocious too. Sorry if I offended the hipsters who like this place...no I'm not! read more

The store is amazing! So much cool stuff, great shirt and amazing collection of records. Every punk store I've gone out looking for since moving to Los Angeles has leaned heavily on the darker hardcore side of things but it's nice to find a store that is basically my bedroom from high school, with a bigger leaning toward pop-punk, ska and an eclectic mix of lots of other stuff. On my first trip I found Hotknives "Screams Dreams and Custard Creams" on vinyl, one of my favorite ska records of all time, which I never imagined finding on LP and also one of Mr. T Experience's albums on vinyl which I had gone to Amoeba the month before and failed to find. My new favorite store. read more

Cool place and knowledgeable staff. They specialize in japanese imports of American albums.

dont ever buy anything from this place!!! such bad customer service and the so call owner andy is such an asshole. my daughter bought a record for a gift but it was damaged. he yelled at her and kick her out of the store all she wanted was her money back or even an exchange but andy just yelled at her and kick her out. i came into the store and he did the same to me. avoid this place at all cost. all this bullshit for $16 dollars!!! WILL NEVER COME BACK HERE AGAIN read more

Favorite place to go in Long Beach. ....awesome collection and excellent service. ...awesome shirts, sweaters, cds, albums, stickers, etc...........^_^ read more

poor customer service and very rude first and last time I will purchase from these guys

I called to inquire about an LP listed on eBay, and the staff was so welcoming I decided to drive to Long Beach from LA, and I am glad I did. This isn't a huge store, but they make up for that with their incredible inventory. This store is especially great for those who are looking for unique hard to find pressings. I was able to find several Japanese Beatles, Led Zeppelin, and Metallica pressings. The prices are fair and the LP's in nice condition. read more
