The Shop
B-Side Hi is a coffee shop, vinyl record store, retro arcade, and game shop.
The B-side was never the hit. It was the deep cut. The one the artist actually cared about. The song that true fans knew by heart while everyone else only heard the single. That's this place.
We serve strong coffee. We stock curated vinyl with a listening station so you can hear the album before you buy it. We run a retro arcade where the DDR machine is always on. And we fix broken consoles for parts cost plus 10% because we'd rather repair it than sell you a new one.
The Owner
A network engineer who's been building things with their hands since before most people were born. First car was a 1983 Cadillac hearse with a hand-swapped Oldsmobile motor. Built ISP backbone networks across the country. Decided to build something that matters more than infrastructure.
B-Side Hi is what happens when someone who spent their whole life building for other people finally builds for themselves. No investors. No franchise. No business school. Just decades of knowing how things work and a dream about what a shop should feel like.
The DJ
DJ Raptor G runs B-Side Radio 24/7. She's a velociraptor who escaped Jurassic Park and became a full time radio DJ. She picks every song, pre-records every drop, and never takes a day off.
When customers ask where Raptor G is, the answer is simple: ethereal. When they ask how one person runs a radio station around the clock, the owner just points to a photo of a Jurassic Park raptor on the wall and says "a friend who's really committed."
The station plays from a hand-curated library of vinyl-sourced music. No algorithm. No ads. No requests. Just trust the DJ.
We're still building the shelves. Until the store is fully stocked, DJ Raptor G is spinning from the owner's personal vinyl collection. Every track you hear, there's a record on a shelf somewhere with that same groove worn in. Enjoy the deep cuts.

Local Flavors
We carry local music. Artists keep 90%. We keep 10%. That's not a business model, that's aloha.
If you make music locally, bring it in. We'll put it in the bin, put it on the platform, and someone's going to hear it who wouldn't have otherwise.
Don't Throw It Away
Broken console? Dead Game Boy? Cracked screen on a Switch? Bring it in. We'll fix it for parts cost plus 10%. We'd rather repair it than sell you a new one.
Trade-ins welcome. Your old games become someone else's new discovery.
