The Coffee Club Cafe - Claremont Quarter

I often find myself at The Coffee Club Cafe in Claremont Quarter, a reliable spot for coffee and light bites. It's always got this relaxed vibe which I quite like, especially when I want to unwind after a shopping spree nearby. The place sits snugly in Claremont, a suburb that's got that blend of chic and laid-back Perth goodness.

The cafe itself is pretty easy to access. And if you've got friends or family with mobility needs, they've got you covered with a wheelchair-friendly setup. The entrance, the seating, even the toilet – all accessible. Parking's a breeze too. If the idea of hanging out with your furry buddy appeals, you're in luck. Dogs are welcome here.

Coffee at The Coffee Club is exactly what you'd expect. I prefer a cappuccino on most visits, and it rarely disappoints. Their light meals are just about right too. A simple sandwich or a hearty breakfast wrap often hits the mark. If you're in a rush or prefer eating elsewhere, they've got takeaway and no-contact delivery options. Super handy for those quick office lunches or even lazy weekend mornings at home.

Claremont Quarter itself is quite the destination. Once you've refueled on caffeine, there are loads of shops to check out. From high-end boutiques to local brands, there's a little bit of everything. And let's not forget about food options. In case you feel like venturing away from the café scene, the surrounding area is filled with restaurants and eateries offering varied cuisines.

The café's ambience is rather casual, almost like a friendly gathering spot. You see people from all walks of life – busy parents, students with their textbooks sprawled open, or friends catching up over their favorite brew. Even though the place can get quite busy, finding a seat isn't usually a hassle.

The staff are usually friendly. They seem to handle the crowd quite well, which is always appreciated, especially during the busy morning rush. Sometimes the service can be a bit slow when they're running at full tilt. Seems like that happens mostly on weekends when shoppers are out in full swing.

If you're planning on visiting, know that their opening hours give you ample time. Most days they open up nice and early at 8 am. On Sundays, however, they start later at 10 am and close by 3:30 pm. Perfect timing for a leisurely morning in Perth. On other days, they wrap up around 4:30 pm, just about when the shopping vibe starts to mellow down.

What I enjoy most perhaps isn't just the coffee or food but the whole atmosphere that the cafe and Claremont exude. Being able to sit back, sip my coffee, and watch the world – or this slice of Perth world – go by is a simple pleasure. For an introvert or someone who enjoys people-watching, I can't think of a better local hangout to do so.

Claremont blends a small town feel with a bustling hub. There's Lake Claremont if you feel like taking a walk or chilling on the greens. Plus, if art interests you, The Goods Shed is close by and hosts various art exhibits and events.

Whether you're dropping in for a quick coffee, planning a cozy catch-up spot, or even a pre-shopping fuel-up, The Coffee Club Cafe fits the bill. It's not the kind of place you go for culinary adventures. It's the spot you go when you want reliability, a cozy nook, and that good ol' feeling of familiar comfort.

And there it is, my simple take. The Coffee Club Claremont Quarter is a staple of comfort and routine in my book. Give it a shot if you're in the area. You might just find that sipping a cup here becomes a regular habit, as it has for me.
