Folk & Merchant

Folk & Merchant sits snugly on Herbert Street in Doubleview. This spot keeps calling me back with its warm vibe and friendly faces. Their coffee hits the spot with a fine balance of smooth and bold flavors. They've honed their brew to perfection. Always hits just right.

The shop greets you with the smell of fresh coffee and baked goods. The pastries are worth trying, especially the flaky ones that melt in your mouth. I can't resist grabbing a croissant or two when I drop by. Pair it with their coffee, and you're set for the morning.

The folks here are friendly and make you feel at ease. They know their regulars, which makes hanging out here even better. It's nice to have a spot where you feel familiar, surrounded by smiles. The staff seems to really enjoy what they do, and that adds to the charm. You don't just get a coffee; you get a good start to your day.

Their seating setup is great for hanging out. There's a choice of cozy indoor or breezy outdoor seats. The outdoor space works for folks with four-legged pals. Yes, they welcome dogs, so expect a wagging tail or two. If the weather is nice, sitting outside is delightful. Indoors is cozy and bustling, with a lively hum of chatter.

You'll find a mixed bunch of customers here: from early morning risers to mid-morning chill crowds. Some folks pop in for a quick grab, while others linger with laptops. Wi-Fi works solid for those who need to plug into the web. Seems like a popular choice for freelancers around here too. It makes you wonder if ideas float better with a good brew in hand.

Their hours are quite forgiving too. They open early, around 6 am every day. I like how they keep things consistent through the week. Makes planning a coffee run easier, no surprises with closed doors.

Parking fits the bill, with options for everyone. It's wheelchair accessible, which is thoughtful for an all-inclusive hangout. Don't need to stress over accessibility here.

Craving more than caffeine? The area around Folk & Merchant has its perks too. Doubleview offers a sweet spot between hustle and calm. Just a short hop away, you'll find Bennett Park, ideal for a post-coffee stroll. It's not too large, but enough to stretch your legs. If you feel like grabbing a bit more sustenance, there's a mix of eateries nearby.

This spot has a local, homey feel, yet it remains a treat for visitors around Perth. The vibe is laid-back yet bustling, a balance which seems unique to the Perth scene. Folk & Merchant is not loud or rushed. It invites you to take a pause, enjoy the moment.

Exploring beyond this spot, Scarborough Beach is a brief drive away. After a coffee fix here, the beach makes for an ideal next stop. The waves, the sound of the ocean, it's like Perth stages the day for you: coffee, beach, repeat.

With Perth's growing cafe culture, Folk & Merchant still stands out. It's not just about the coffee or the service but the balance of all these bits. That might just be the magic about places like this. They create a spot that feels like ‘yours'.

Plus, the locals seem to echo the sentiment. Word about their good coffee and cheery service stays steady. I like knowing that it's not just my experience, but a shared one with others. It speaks volumes when a place has a steady stream of happy faces.
