The Absolute Best Dishes We Ate at New Restaurants in 2023 | Bon Appétit

"Among precise, carefully considered dishes, the milk bread with sweet potato and brown butter is the standout moment: a impossibly soft small loaf served warm in a cast-iron pan with a nutty, smoky brown-butter accompaniment (and smoked pecans) that elevates the bread into a must-order, show-stealing course." - ByBon Appétit Staff & Contributors

Really cool store, hip and modern. Definitely worth a visit. More than records like vintage magazines, tapes, and apparel.

My new favorite in LBC. Great shop with well-curated records in great shape at sensible prices. Always something great playing when you’re there and a great staff. Check out their IG profile for previews of their new arrivals. Great stuff!

Although initially I thought that the quantity of vinyl shelves is small and categories of genres are not my preference, after while I was enjoying well curated collections and great finds at reasonable prices. I’m already looking forward to my next visit.

Really great shop - deep crates, nice interior space, and always playing cool music! Hector is kind and helpful every time I stop in. A Long Beach staple and always a fun dig. 10/10

Twelves deserves 12 out of 12 stars! This is an awesome store with a great eclectic collection for all your needs. Also, Hector is top notch, he wants to work with you not just for you. Highly recommended to anyone looking for new music or hidden Detroit gems.

The two most salient facts I need to include here about this brand-spanking-new beaut of a record store are as follows: 1. This store is owned by Hector W. This man is the resident DJ at an event called Funky Sole, which occurs regularly on Sunset Blvd. 2. DJ Dennis Owens of The Good Foot at Alex's Bar is going to work at this record store. These two men are obviously exceptionally knowledgeable on the topics of funk music, soul music, and record sales. I am not as familiar with Hector, the owner, but I was present for the grand opening. Hector effected a calm, professional demeanor and managed to pull off a truly grand opening. The inventory of the store really soulidified my opinion of Hector. I saw countless essential and rare records from all major genres. The crate diggers came out for this one, and the inventory at Twelves had them foaming in the New Arrivals section. Credit to Hector's music taste for the event's success. DJ Dennis Owens was, is, and will be as indispensable to Twelve's success as Hector. Dennis has extensive experience in the music industry, record sales, and vinyl collecting. I have seen him DJ a couple times now. The man is a turntable wizard. DJ Dennis knows all genres of music. His soul record sets are particularly exquisite. He did a guest DJ set at the opening, and he informed me he will be working Wednesdays at Twelves. Take it from me: take any and all pieces of advice or recommendations that DJ Dennis Owens gives. He is thoroughly involved in the world of DJ music and prides himself on remaining conversant in all things tunes. I repeat: listen to this guru. The decor really fit the music on sale and the sensibility of anyone who loves funky soul beats. I saw a few great promo posters from old soul concerts. The records sit neatly in unpretentious bins. One distinctly pretty piece of Keith Haring's art rests against the wall just above the cash register. That Haring poster really ties the whole record store together, and I hope it stays up there for years to come. I loved what I saw in the inventory too. Plenty of soul, funk, and disco hits. James Brown, Funkadelic, and Donna Summer were there. Ditto Brenton Wood. I ended up buying a couple 45s and one disco 12". DJ Dennis Owens nodded at one of my 45s because it was a copy of Funkadelic's "Not Just Knee Deep." Just one example of the funky goodness to be had at low cost in Twelves. I'll be back on the night train to acquire more Soul Power in the future.

They have a good amount of records at an ok price. The only downside is there are no public restrooms so if you're like me and have irritable bowel syndrome you might poop yourself. Luckily there's a Carl's jr. up the street that lets you use their bathrooms. The code is 143. You're welcome.

Best record store in Long Beach. Killer hip hop, international, punk, new wave, and metal sections. And they pay very fairly for your records too!

unless your friends with Dennis, he won't give u a discount. case in point, i had a nice 20 piece stack brewing... Dennis's buddy was there with 1 $2 record and a $20 record...he gave him half off the $20 record.... when i asked for the same discount on 1 of my $20 records i was told no with an attitude.... won't ever go back ..not my money

This place is really great! They have the best selection with the best prices. I have received such excellent service from Hector. He cleaned some dirty and scratched records for me from another store and once he went outside to make sure my car wasn't being vandalized where I parked. There is a nice and friendly vibe at Twelves while a professional atmosphere is always followed. This is my favorite place to buy my records in Long Beach since their other competitors have a bit of a stuck up attitude. I can hardly wait until they reopen for in store browsing but until then I will support them with their online shop and in store pickups!

There are a lot of options for record shopping in Long Beach. Twelves is deserving at the top of the heap with Bagatelle. Nice selection that I would expect to get better given the conversation I had with the owner Hector when I stopped in. He knows his stuff and is fun to talk to like it used to be when you went into a shop. This is a new shop but you can tell that it has the potential to be a collectors destination. Not just Long Beach but SoCal. The Jazz section is already worthy of that distinction. Prices are on point and there are deals to be found as well. This will be a regular haunt from now on.

Most of the stock was steeply priced, but there were some good finds still. It's a new spot and the owner was pretty nice, so I'm hopeful pricing stays more on the reasonable side. I'll be back again and update then.

Great shop! Have gotten a wide variety of records from .$50 to about $80. Highly recommend.
