Cedar Cafe

Cedar Cafe in Cannington often draws me back with its laid-back vibe. It sits on Sevenoaks Street, which makes it easy to find. I'm a regular coffee lover around Perth, and Cedar Cafe certainly hits the spot. This place serves up a hearty Lebanese menu which is quite satisfying. I've lost count of the number of times I've come here for the flat whites but stayed for the falafels.

One thing I appreciate about Cedar Cafe is its long hours. They're open from 9 in the morning until the early hours. That's daily, by the way. Whether it's a late-night study session or a pre-work coffee, they've got me covered. It's a rare find in this part of the world, and it's fantastic for night owls like me. The place stays bustling even late at night on Fridays and Saturdays.

What gets me is how accommodating the place is. With a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating, it's inclusive for everyone. There's also outdoor seating. When the weather's cool, I enjoy sitting outside, sipping my coffee, and watching passersby. It's dog-friendly too! I sometimes bring my pup along, and he enjoys a bit of shade while I sip away at a latte.

The service here is consistently good. The staff remember your face and often your order, which is a nice touch. Particularly for a place that sees a lot of regulars, it's the friendly wave and smile that you get when you walk in the door that makes a difference.

Their Lebanese food is straightforward and hits the spot every time. The menu isn't overly fancy, but it doesn't need to be. You can grab a wrap or a plate of hummus and tabbouleh, and you're sorted. For those with a sweet tooth, the baklava is a must-try.

Sevenoaks Street is always buzzing with activity. Cedar Cafe's location is convenient, close to Westfield Carousel. When I'm feeling productive, I'll swing by the cafe for a caffeine boost before some retail therapy. That shopping center is huge with everything from boutiques to big brand stores.

Parking is easy too, with a wheelchair-accessible car park, making it hassle-free. Cannington is well-connected with public transport. You can hop off at Cannington train station and take a short bus ride or a pleasant walk to get here. It's a lively suburb with varied dining options.

Another thing I love about Cedar Cafe is their takeaway service. Sometimes I'm on the go and can't stick around, and a quick takeaway coffee is just what I need. They also offer delivery. It's perfect for those lazy, late nights when I'm craving some Lebanese flavors but don't want to leave home.

Despite its popularity, there's almost always a table free. But on weekends, it does get crowded, especially with groups of friends gathering. It has this nice atmosphere, neither too loud nor too quiet, just the chatter of happy diners and the hum of the espresso machine.

The average rating of 4.3 stars is spot on. Those hundreds of reviews online don't lie. I'd say most people praise its food, friendly service, and welcoming environment. Sometimes, the wait can be a bit long when it's busy, but the staff does their best.

Inside, it's straightforward, just enough decor to make it cozy. Cedar Cafe doesn't aim to be high-end or fancy, and that's the charm. You come in, grab your coffee or meal, and kick back. Of course, Wi-Fi would be a good addition, but I'm one of those who can do without it at times. The vibe here is about disconnecting, chatting with old friends or making new ones.

I find myself often recommending Cedar Cafe to friends who are on the hunt for good coffee or a snack. It sticks in the mind because it's a place that's easy to fall into a routine with. It's not just a joint for coffee and Lebanese food; it's a part of my weekly happenings in Cannington.

Despite visiting many places around Perth, Cedar Cafe manages to stand out as a reliable pit stop. A favorite for morning brews or late-night munchies, it checks many boxes. With dogs allowed and good vibes all around, it's hard to keep away.
