Bearly Jan's Lunch Bar Cafe

Bearly Jan's Lunch Bar Cafe sits in Canning Vale, a buzzing hub away from Perth's core. I've swung by this place a few times, and I can say it's a neat spot for anyone looking to grab a quick bite. This cafe might not catch your eye from outside, but what it lacks in looks, it makes up for with its charm. It's closed on weekends, which was a bummer the first time I dropped by. Monday to Friday, it opens early at 4:45 am, which works for the morning crowd.

The coffee here is good, not life-changing, but solid. They use fresh beans and pack each cup with flavor. I usually get the flat white, and it's never disappointed me. The baristas are laid back and seem to know their stuff. The ambiance inside is cozy and no-frills. It's got a small-town vibe, which feels rare in a suburban area like Canning Vale.

The breakfast options are the kind you'd want before a long day. They've got the usual suspects – toasties, bacon rolls, and a classic eggs benny that really hits the spot. The portions are fair, and the prices won't sting your pocket, which is a win in my book. Lunchtime has its charm, too, with plenty of sandwich options. The chicken schnitty sandwich is powerful—crispy chicken with fresh slaw. They make their meals on-site, which beats the pre-packaged stuff you find elsewhere.

Service at Bearly Jan's is friendly and quick. You have the option to dine in, but I usually go for takeaway as the sitting area is not huge. It's not cramped, but it fills up during peak hours. Whether you dine in or take away, the food's quality remains top-notch.

Bearly Jan's is right on Bannister Road, so finding it isn't tough if you're local. Having Wi-Fi is a plus, though I've never used it. The cafe seems to cater to the office crowd nearby who swing by for a quick lunch or a coffee run. Meeting the needs of the everyday worker seems to be what they aim for.

Accessibility here is on point, which is nice to see. There's a wheelchair-friendly entrance and seating available. The parking lot is also easy to access, a welcome change when compared to tightly packed Perth streets.

If you choose to wander nearby, you'll find many spots worth checking out. Canning Vale is a pretty active area, home to several local businesses. There's the Canning Vale Markets, a place I drop by for fresh produce and snacks. It's a real treat if you love fresh goods straight from the source. There's also the Southlands Boulevarde for your retail needs. They've got everything from fashion to electronics.

If you've got a dog, you're in luck, as Bearly Jan's allows our canine pals. I've seen a couple of folks with their good boys chilling out front. It's a great spot to relax with a dog by your side, a coffee in hand, and the paper on the table. No overselling here, but it's a cool place to unwind.

Though the website is missing, it doesn't bother me much. Word of mouth and local chatter often tell you more than a flashy site could. The regulars know it by heart, and once you've been, you'll know why people keep coming back. With delivery options now available, it's even more convenient for those who can't leave work.

I can't say it's the best cafe in Perth, but it doesn't need to be. It's reliable, and for regulars like me roaming through Perth's coffee scene, that's plenty. The cafe is worth a visit if you're in Canning Vale. Whether you're just passing through or making it a regular stop, you'll leave satisfied. Bearly Jan's is straightforward and gets it right, bringing to the table what many look for: good coffee, hearty food, and a place to kick back.
