bamb bino's Coffee & Icecreamery

Whenever I'm out in Bassendean, one of my favorite spots to stop for a coffee fix is Bamb Bino's Coffee & Icecreamery. Tucked along Old Perth Road, it's a cozy little place that has its own charm. The vibe here is warm and welcoming, which is always a plus when you just want to relax and enjoy a cuppa. They open early, so it's perfect for grabbing a coffee on the way to work or just starting the day off right.

Their coffee hits the spot every time, rich and bold. It's clear they know their beans. And if you're there with friends who aren't into coffee, they've got ice cream that gets rave reviews too. It's not just any ice cream; it's creamy goodness in a cone, perfect for Perth's sunny days.

The staff here seem to really enjoy what they do, and it shows in their service. They're quick with a smile, always up for a quick chat, and ready to give recommendations if you're feeling indecisive. Between their friendly demeanor and the relaxing atmosphere, you really feel welcomed.

Outdoor seating is one of the highlights for me. On nice days, sitting outside on their patio is where you'll find me. It's a dog-friendly spot, so I often see others with their furry friends nearby, all enjoying the sun. It adds to the laid-back, community feel that makes this spot special.

Bassendean itself is worth exploring a bit. Just down the street, there are a few local shops and the beautiful Bassendean Oval. It's a great area to stretch the legs, especially if you've been driving around all day. This small town feel is what keeps me coming back.

If you're in a rush, no worries. Bamb Bino's offers kerbside pickup and even a drive-through. I've used the drive-through a couple of times, and it's pretty convenient. They make sure everything's packed well, and you're good to go in no time.

I'm keen on the on-site services too. You can either go for dine-in or takeaway, depending on your mood. I usually end up sitting in because I love people-watching. But if you're taking your coffee to go, their packaging is sturdy, keeping everything warm.

Something I've noticed is their variety in stock. Beyond the usual coffee and ice cream, they have pastries that pair excellently with their espresso. It's worth grabbing a muffin or a croissant to see you through the morning until lunch.

Speaking of mornings, I often see a mix of people here. From the solo coffee lovers to pairs catching up over breakfast—it's a nice blend of folks. That camaraderie you get from being a regular at places like Bamb Bino's is what makes it feel like home base.

Then comes the afternoon, when the vibe slightly shifts. People tend to linger a little longer, especially if they've got their laptops out. I guess the Wi-Fi is decent enough since there's more than one person tapping away at the keys. Though I prefer the company of a good book, I occasionally join the laptop crowd to check emails or just browse.

They're closed by 3 pm on weekends, so if you're planning to visit on a Saturday or Sunday, make sure to get there early. During the weekdays, they're open till 5 pm, which gives plenty of time to unwind after a long day.

You won't find a flashy webpage for them, and not every small spot needs one. They keep it simple, relying on word-of-mouth and regulars who bring in new faces. With Toonerville Trolley nearby, a little museum that's quite charming, there's plenty to see and do in the area after your coffee.

Bamb Bino's does face some competition with a few cafes dotted around Perth, but it holds its own with a solid rating of 4.4 stars from 137 reviews. That seems fair to me, given my experiences. It's good to have regular places where you can pop in, grab a favorite drink, and know what you're getting each time.

To wrap up my usual day there, I typically grab a second cup for the road. It's kind of a routine now—a way to enjoy the drive back home with something warm in hand. So if you're sifting through the options of coffee spots, stop by Bamb Bino's in Bassendean. You might just find your new favorite coffee nook, much like I have.
