Relevant Record Cafe
With a desire to set up their own business together and a combined passion of music and great coffee the couple set out to create a space in Cambridge's bustling Mill Road that would enable other lovers to share and enjoy these treasures (and a few other tasty extras!) in an environment that is cool, vibrant yet relaxing too.

With a coffee shop upstairs and a vinyl emporium in the basement; Relevant is the only place to be when in need of a bit of R'n R' (that's Records and Recuperation!) In the basement at Relevant we offer an eclectic range of new and pre-owned vinyl. As an independent record retailer we hope to supply people with releases that they may not get from larger record chains.
Services
At Relevant we offer an eclectic range of new and second hand vinyl online and in-store. We love vinyl! So, as an independent record retailer we hope to supply people with releases that they may not get from larger record chains and will do all we can to get the records in that you can't find anywhere else.
Upstairs at Relevant is a friendly vibrant caf with coffee at its heart. It's so important to us that the coffee is great, and after much deliberation and taste testing we decided on an ethically sourced blend that doesn't compromise on flavour. Our independent supplier sources the finest Arabica beans from ten countries around the world and brings them together into a perfectly smooth blend that we will serve to you at its peak.
Sign up to our Relevant newsletter and be the first to hear about upcoming releases, reissues and live music. We only send it out once a week - usually Thursday afternoon - so you won't get inundated with emails from us! If you want to sign up, please fill your details in below and click Subscribe.

Amazing coffee and lots of alternatives to milk. They have tasty vegan cakes amongst other things and the food there is pretty spot on and fairly priced.
Also an added bonus is the record shop in the basement.
These guys also host music and poetry nights here and there.
Great and friendly staff that make you feel welcome.
Pre book tables to not be disappointed!

Nice staff, delicious brunches (with vegan options). And the vinyl record downstairs makes the whole place a treasure.

Great café, nice coffee and food choices. I always visit for the vinyl store down stairs - great selection and some of the best prices in Cambridge

I sell 12” vinyl online and had run out of record mailers. Ordered more over a week ago and there has been a problem with my delivery so am slightly late on being able to post out orders. I thought I would try this local business to see if they knew where I could source 12” record mailers in Cambridge. I was told that they might have a few spare and the guy in the shop would speak to his manager and call me back. I had a call back 5 minutes later to say they could offer me some of their mailers but they would charge £5 per mailer. Yes £5!!! Unbelievable - they must think I’ve just fallen

Was a wonderful little café serving cakes and fresh drinks. The only issue I had was with it being a rainy day we where unable to get a table. We decided to browse the record shop downstairs for a short while until a table became available and by this time the queue at the counter had become rather long, this made the experience rather frustrating. On any other day, I would say this would be an amazing experience here for anyone, but I can't give the 5*s due to my previous visit. I will be visiting again in the near future and hopefully I will be able to upgrade this to a 5 as it genuinely deserves

Cool vibe, I had a very nice brunch, Rubin’s rosti was tasty! Why don’t you bring some records and LPs also upstairs? Would make the atmospheres waaaay cooler!

I’m very impressed with Relevant - ordered the new Cloud Nothings LP and not only did they have it for less than anywhere else but they were one of the very few places that still had the limited edition coloured vinyl. My order arrived very well packaged just two days later. Great record shop - buy without hesitation!

Absolutely wonderful!
Very cool 70s style cafe downstairs in the middle of a retro record shop. Brilliant selection of veggie and vegan breakfasts along with bacon and eggs too.
Service was very friendly and welcoming!
