The owner of a Melbourne cafe peppered with bullets in a suspected drive-by shooting has handed security camera images of a black car to police.

Six shots were fired into Vyve cafe in Heidelberg at 1am on Wednesday.

CCTV footage shows a black car at the scene at the time.

"We don't know the make or the model," Detective senior constable Dale Ward told reporters on Wednesday.

"There is a poor image of the vehicle from the cafe itself, but the owner of the cafe isn't willing to release it to the media.

"He's fearful. He doesn't know himself what this is about. He's really racking his brain over it."

The cafe was closed all morning while investigators collected evidence.

A neighbour who was cleaning his restaurant's kitchen at the time of the shooting raced out to see what was going on when he heard the shots.

"I was scared as well. I came with my broomstick," the man told 3AW.

Police searched the area but found nothing of interest.
