Music in the Blood.
Coffee in the Cup.
Back & Louder Than Ever.
What started as a passion for the music evolved into a dream: creating a sanctuary in 2017 where crate-diggers, coffee drinkers, and community could collide. Joey built his original record shop turned cafe from the ground up—a place where you could grab a hot drink, talk music, and discover your next favorite album.
The Comeback Story
In a split second, that dream hit a massive bump in the road. A drunk driver crashed directly into the shopfront, destroying the space and forcing a full two-year closure.
It was a tough blow, but you can’t pause a passion for long.
Two years later, Joey T is back with a fresh space, a renewed drive, and a bigger vision than ever before. We didn't just rebuild—we evolved.
What We Are Today
This isn't just a record store, and it’s not just a cafe. It’s Melbourne’s ultimate neighborhood hangout.
For the Crate Diggers: Deeply curated vinyl across all genres—from classic 80s grooves and jazz to modern beats and local pressings.
For the Coffee Lovers: Expertly crafted coffee brewed fresh from local roaster Coffico (Coburg) to fuel your morning dig or your afternoon chill.
For the Community: A vibrant event space hosting live jam sessions, open mic nights, local artist showcases, and spontaneous community gatherings.
Whether you're hunting for a rare press, grabbing a flat white, or looking to pull up a chair and play an open mic set, Joey T’s door is open.
Drop in, spin a record, stay a while. Welcome home.
