What we are

Flat white with latte art, the kind of cup Black Wax serves at the counter

The Café

Coffee, made properly

Espresso, filter and something sweet on the side, served without ceremony. The board changes, the standard doesn’t.

The Records

Crates worth digging through

Second-hand vinyl, hand-picked and priced to actually get bought. Every week one record gets pulled out and put on the wall — our Artist of the Week.

Their Strength, Not Ours to Take Credit For

The shop looks better in your feed than on any webpage.

Record hauls, Artist of the Week picks, and the daily life of the shop all live on Instagram first. Follow along — it’s where the personality actually is.

What People Say

Consistently the best-reviewed corner of the High Street

Praised again and again on TripAdvisor and Google for the coffee, the crates and the welcome.

★★★★★

“Genuinely the best coffee on the High Street, and you can happily lose an hour digging through the records without anyone rushing you. A proper independent gem — we’re in most weekends now.”

“Popped in for a flat white and left with two albums and a slice of cake. Lovely staff, great atmosphere and something you just don’t find on the High Street any more. Highly recommend.”
