The Roastery

I'm quite fond of coffee spots around Perth, and The Roastery in Canning Vale is a gem. This place has a laid-back vibe that feels just right for a relaxed brunch or a cozy coffee break. The Roastery is tucked away on Warton Road and easy enough to miss if you're not looking for it, but those who find it know it's worth the hunt.

When you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming. The seating arrangements are comfortable, and there's a good mix of indoor coziness and outdoor freshness. What's a standout feature for me is how accessible everything is here. The Roastery makes it a point to have wheelchair-accessible facilities and gender-neutral restrooms, something not every place considers.

As a regular visitor, the consistency in their coffee hits the mark. They know how to brew a cup that's strong but smooth, with no bitterness. Whether you're after a classic flat white or something like a cold brew, they serve them all well. The baristas know their craft and are always ready to chat about their brews without being overbearing.

Brunch options are just as delightful. The avocado smash here gets a lot of love, and for good reason. It's not overly complicated but hits the spot every time. They also make a mean breakfast burrito. Sometimes I just opt for something simple like a pastry, which they always seem to have fresh and tempting.

Service is consistently friendly here. They get busy, especially on weekends from opening at 7 am until about 3 pm, but the staff manage the crowd with ease. They never make you feel rushed, a rare find in popular spots. Their service sticks out, and you can see why with their solid reviews averaging at 4.2 stars out of hundreds.

Location-wise, it's a great little area in Canning Vale. If you're keen for a longer outing, there's a variety of little shops nearby or even the local parks if you fancy a post-coffee stroll. You're just a short drive from Market City Shopping Centre, handy if you need to run errands or grab groceries after.

The Roastery offers different options for enjoying your coffee. Whether you want to dine-in, grab takeaway, or even get it delivered, they've got you covered. Plus, they're dog-friendly, which for us pet owners is a big draw. Bringing your furry friend along and chilling outside is a simple pleasure.

The menu's pricing is fair, considering the quality and the portion sizes you get. For a coffee and a brunch meal, it doesn't break the bank compared to central city spots. It's nice to have a spot where both your caffeine and hunger needs are met without feeling gouged.

Personally, I find The Roastery perfect for casual meets or working cafe days. The Wi-Fi holds up decently if you're logging in for some quick work or studies. Not to mention, the vibe is calm enough for focus yet lively enough to feel part of a broader community. Don't expect dead silence—it's a vibrant spot.

Weekdays are a bit quieter, starting at 6:30 am, which works great if you want to skip the weekend buzz. For those early risers or school-run parents looking for somewhere to recharge, this place can be a sanctuary. It's amazing to start your day with a good brew, watching the few morning regulars come and go.

What continuously draws me back is the heart of The Roastery—there's a genuine love for good coffee and connection. The regular crowd adds to its charm, making you feel like part of an ongoing conversation in a tucked-away corner of Canning Vale. That's the kind of coffee shop vibe that's hard to find and even harder to replicate.
