What we are

Three things,
one room.

A corner café built on the idea that good coffee, great records, and found objects all belong in the same space — and that space should feel like it's been here forever.

01
The Café
Coffee &
Cocktails

Espresso, craft cocktails, seasonal small plates. A menu quiet enough that the music stays in front.

02
The Vinyl Parlour
Browse
the stacks

Blockbuster-style vinyl browsing. Over 1,400 titles organized by mood, era, and genre. Rent for the night or buy to keep.

03
The Thrift Floor
Wear the
atmosphere

Curated vintage finds — clothing, ceramics, art, books — chosen because they belong in this room. Everything has a story.

The Vinyl Parlour

Walk in.
Flip through.
Take something home.

Records available to rent nightly

Organised like a Blockbuster — physical sleeves, handwritten tags, staff picks on the front wall. No algorithm. Just curation and serendipity.

fit the room.
