As someone who loves hopping around Perth's coffee spots, I can say it's a refreshing find.

The coffee here is just right. They know what they're doing behind that coffee machine. The lattes come out smooth and not too hot, which is just how I like it. It's not the kind of place with an over-the-top menu, but what they do, they do well. There's something solid in their consistency. These folks aren't trying to be just another fancy cafe; you won't find crazy concoctions or odd ingredients here. It's more about great coffee, plain and simple.

Seating at Hubbles Yard is a blend of indoor comfort and outdoor charm. The good news for dog lovers: yes, you can bring your furry friend. It's common to see a few pooches sitting patiently next to coffee-drinkers outside. On weekends, if the weather's nice, I snag a spot outside. Feel the sun and enjoy my cup against a backdrop of local chatter and friendly nods from passersby. The seating arrangements seem to welcome everyone, and it's wheelchair accessible too, which shows they thought things through design-wise.

Now, caffeine is one part of the experience, but the snacks hold their own. The pastries are fresh, almost as if they were baked with love. They switch up their offerings a bit, so there's usually something new to try. Their focus stays on quality, delivering simple goodness. It's not one of those places where you need a dictionary to understand the menu. Just everyday treats that hit the spot with the right sweetness.

Hubbles Yard's operating hours are straightforward. They open early at 7 am and close around 2 pm, right when the day starts to get hot. They don't open on Sundays, which caught me off guard once! It's a bummer if you're hankering for their coffee to kick off a lazy Sunday, but gives you a reason to look forward to Mondays. Plus, George Street has its own charm with other local spots you can explore when the cafe's doors are closed.
