How do we do run a cafe, record store, and bar?
A lot of UMBRÍA CAFÉ coffee and help from our friends; but, we do it for you! 🤍🧡
We want you to come in and be able to enjoy a bev, browse the walls for records and merch, with space to dance and a quieter space to talk with your friends.
Cheers to achieving that goal, come see what we’ve put together so far! More upgrades, as always, to come😉

Dang son! Record Store Day 2026 is officially a Kool G Wrap! Packed up most of the remainders to be shipped out across the USA. Also so very sorry about this pic…apparently I have no idea how to smile…even though I’m super duper happy right now and so grateful for all my family, friends, employees (past and present) and our customers. It’s been a rough couple years to be honest. This weekend was super validating as a business owner and as a human. There is so much I want to share, but all in due time. There is a lot of exciting news on the horizon, fun projects, new additions. I promise to do a better job sharing. As we head into our 17th year at our Fishtown location and 3rd year in West Philly, we are blessed to continue to do what we love and love what we do. I couldn’t ask for a better life and a way to support my family. Heart your guts and thank you for letting me build this thing in your neighborhoods. I love you Philadelphia.
Xoxoxo,
Mr. Milk
