01 — COFFEE & SOUND, UNDER ONE ROOF

A coffee shop.
With a listening soul.

Blue Note is becoming a neighborhood coffee shop where the music is part of the reason you stay.

The idea is simple: a good cup, a comfortable place to settle in, and records played on a thoughtfully chosen hi-fi system. Coffee service is still ahead. For now, Don welcomes you into the space for private listening visits by appointment.

02 — SAME CORNER. ANOTHER CHAPTER.

From silver screen
to blue note.

Before the listening came the watching. This corner of 24th and Agate was home to Don Flinn’s Silver Screen Video, a neighborhood place for finding a film and sharing a recommendation.

Blue Note carries that personal spirit into hi-fi. Don’s audio story began in 2011; after stepping away to care for family, he returned to the business of helping people hear what they love.

Different medium. Same love of discovery.
