Tons of vinyl in here, and it reminds me of a stateside store I shop at, at least as far as the…read moreatmosphere here goes. It's not the coolest or most artsy decorated store, but they have a ton of records, and that's why you're here in the first place, right? My wife and I have shopped here a couple of times and have enjoyed ourselves. Much to be found here. Staff (at least the dude running the register) is not overly friendly, but that's okay. Not here for a social experience as much as Record shopping, and this place offers that by degrees. Check to make sure they are open before you make the journey there, as I seem to remember some sporadic opening hours. Definitely worth a stop if you find yourself in Munchen.

Coming from North America, I always love crate-digging abroad - you can often find records…read moreunavailable in the local shops back home. I have had great luck in other parts of EU so I was looking forward to seeing what could be found in Munich. I did some online research and found Schallplattenzentrale was the only shop within my reach for the day. The reviews stated they have a good selection of used vinyl but also warned of high prices. This place definitely has a lot of records; tons of Jazz, Soundtracks, a nice Deutsche Rock section, "Black Music" (funk/soul), French, Latin/Afro,... Really, a great selection of music. The shop is packed with vinyl and was busy also making for a fairly hectic shopping environment. I checked out all the sections and found some good stuff (Nino Ferrer, rare soundtracks, some Library records, rare Kraut etc.) Unfortunately, I left empty-handed, shaking my head with a minor sour taste in my mouth. Their pricing really is pretty ridiculous... Although I did see a few rare LPs, I found that even the everyday/every crate records were still extremely expensive vs. North America and global online pricing (Discogs, Ebay, etc). Records easily found nearly everywhere for $5-10 USD were generally priced around 30-50 Euros at Schallplattenzentrale. They did have a cheaper section of LPs priced at 3 Euros but all totally crappy records. Honestly, other than these cheap/crappy records, I hardly saw any prices below 20 Euros and most were 30+. If you have a bottomless bank account or if you're spending someone else's money it may be worth checking out Schallplattenzentrale. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother.

It's a little crowded. All the vinyls are sorted. Nice place to visit…read more Will come again!

A good friend of ours decided to give up his career in software engineering and, opened this shop…read moretoday. Maoz is an extremely talented carpenter, photographer and of course, a huge music fan. This has been his desire for a long time and, I am glad he finally did it. The shop is located about 3 mins walk from the Josephplatz U-Bahn station and, is on a quite street. It is quite spacious and divided into three rooms. At the moment he has two rooms open and, will open the third, once it's all decorated and he has all the shelving and so on in place. The design is quite retro and has his distinct personal touch. Nice comfortable chairs, spaces to sit and have coffee, read a book or, just listen to some cool music. The coffee he has is a from a bio roasters and quite intense and flavourful. He has a wide selection of music from jazz, blues, classics, rock and an eclectic blend that suits many different music tastes. Browse through the boxes and I am sure there will be some nice surprises in store. Prices are also reasonable, I think they are anyway ;-) I am sure this place will evolve over time and, he will add many more interesting things to the place including books, photographs for sale and so on. I look forward to watching this over the coming months to see how it further develops. A nice addition to the area and I hope you agree. I did consider giving him 5 starts but I deducted one as he is a friend :-)) No further deduction is required ;-)

For those who not only care about great records, but also care about a friendly service and a nice…read moreatmosphere - then Maoz Vinyl & Kaffee is the right place to go! The shop offers a good selection of new and used records with focus on rock and jazz, but also a smaller selection of soundtracks, electronic and more exotic genres is available. The prices are fair and the cool thing about this shop is that you also can get a very good cup of coffee while listning to the records you have sought out for yourself. I find myself dropping by the shop often to look through the new arrivals - and of course to get the good coffee! A highly recommended experience for vinyl and coffee lovers!
