Daily Vale Cafe

I pop into coffee shops around Perth often, and I recently decided to check out Daily Vale Cafe in Canning Vale. Nestled on Baile Road, it's in an industrial area that seems a bit quiet on weekends when they're closed. But when the weekdays roll around, it opens bright and early at 5 am, perfect for the early birds among us. The closing time is set at 2:30 pm, just right to grab an after-lunch coffee before they shut their doors.

When you step into this spot, you'll notice it feels welcoming to all, with a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating. They seem to really think about making everyone comfortable. There's an assistive hearing loop available too, which is a thoughtful touch for those who need it.

The first thing on my mind here is always the coffee. The average rating stands at 3.7, which tells me not to have sky-high hopes but still expect a decent cup. True to that, their brew comes out solid—perhaps not the best in Perth, but it hits the spot. I went for a cappuccino, and it landed just as I expected. Not too harsh, not too mellow—just right for those mornings when you need a pick-me-up. There's outdoor seating as well, which is a huge perk for those lovely sunny Perth days.

Let's talk about the food—brunch is their thing, and they offer a variety that aims to please. The menu isn't overly long, which suits me. They manage to cover the basics, from your classic avocado toast to more hearty options like bacon and eggs. Nothing revolutionary here but dependable dishes that satisfy those morning hunger pangs without any fuss.

I was there on a weekday morning, and the crowd had a mix of local workers and keen coffee fans. The vibe is laid back, but engaging enough that you could bring a friend and chatter away the morning. It's not one of those places where everyone's heads are buried in laptops. If you need Wi-Fi, they've got you covered, but don't expect the place to be a makeshift office.

For those who prefer to bring their furry friends along, Daily Vale is dog-friendly, so your pooch can join in for the coffee run. I noticed a couple of dogs lazing just outside in their outdoor area, seemingly at home while their owners enjoyed their morning fix.

The area around has its own charm, a mix of residential spots and business areas. You won't find trendy boutiques or high-end shopping here, but its relaxed vibe is part of the charm. A short trip away, you'll find the Canning Vale Markets, a popular spot for fresh produce and local goods. It's a great little side trip if you're up for a bit of exploring after your coffee.

Another noteworthy point is the availability of takeaway and delivery options. Whether you fancy grabbing your brew and heading off or prefer to have it delivered right to you, they've sorted it out. It's handy for folks who live or work nearby and don't always have time to sit down.

Parking here isn't an ordeal either, thanks to a wheelchair-accessible car park. So snagging a spot shouldn't make you late for your first sip. Sometimes finding that parking space is a big draw, especially when your caffeine fix is urgent.

On my visit, I didn't find any staff overly chatty, but they were polite and efficient, moving swiftly through orders. It's appreciated when you're not looking to have a long chat with the barista but still want a friendly smile. They've struck a good balance there.

In conclusion, Daily Vale Cafe is set up as an unpretentious and dependable spot. It doesn't try to be something it's not. It's practical, down-to-earth, and a worthwhile stop for coffee lovers who find themselves in Canning Vale. If you like things simple and easy, this might just be your new regular joint. If not, at least know you'll get a reasonably good caffeine hit and brunch without hassle or fuss.
