Beach St Co.

Beach St Co. in Fremantle is one of those spots that's easy to pass by, but worth your stop. Nestled on Beach Street, this place isn't just about coffee—it's got a little bit of everything. The vibe is super chill, which makes it easy to just sink into a chair and watch the world go by.

The first thing that strikes you is the accessibility. Wheelchair access isn't just a perk—it's woven into the place. From the car park to the toilet, it's all accessible, making it welcoming for everyone. Plus, dogs are allowed, so you often see wagging tails paired with morning sips of coffee.

Their coffee game is strong. Whether you're in for a long black or a smooth flat white, they get it right. The baristas here are seasoned, and you can taste it. They have a knack for balancing flavors, which keeps me coming back. However, their menu extends beyond just coffee. Their brunch menu is delightful. Think of things like eggs done just right, served with freshly baked sourdough bread, and an avocado smash that's not just a trend but a staple.

Heading out there on a weekday? They close early at 3 pm, so plan to swing by in the morning or early arvo. Though, Thursdays and Fridays have a second wave in the evening from 5 pm till late. The weekend crowd starts early. Saturday and Sunday, they stay open till 9:30 pm, which is great for late coffee cravings or a cozy dinner.

Their location is prime—close to the Fremantle Markets and the Esplanade. After a coffee break, you can wander over to Fremantle Markets. It's buzzing with life, from fresh produce to local handcrafted goods. The aroma of spices and fresh flowers often fills the air. Grab a quick bite here; it's always lively with locals mingling about.

If the beach is your calling, the Fremantle Esplanade is not far off. Wide open spaces and fresh sea breeze—perfect for walking off your brunch. Sometimes, there's live music playing at the park, which adds a nice touch. In this part of Fremantle, the vibe is laid-back, almost like it's always a weekend.

Back at Beach St Co., if you're there in the evening, try one of their cocktails. Yes, they have a bar! The bartender knows just the right mix for a refreshing drink. The crowd shifts a bit during evenings—more groups, maybe some dinner dates. Yet, it still retains that calm atmosphere.

Delivery service is something they offer, though personally, I believe enjoying the place firsthand is the way to go. Takeaway is convenient if you're in a rush, and it's done efficiently. For those who prefer to dine in, their seating is cozy, encouraging long conversations over meals.

The staff, always keen to make you feel at home. It's the kind of spot where they remember your face after a couple of visits. Though busy, they make an effort to chat, suggesting daily specials or just brightening your day with a smile.

With 305 reviews and an average rating of 4.1, it seems like others share my love for this spot. Sure, there might be a few differing reviews, but isn't that the beauty of local places? Everyone finds something different to love or critique about the same spot.

Nearby, there's also the Fremantle Arts Centre. It's worth checking out some local works or catching an exhibition. The centre itself is a piece of history, and walking through can be quite calming.

The area is full of character, pretty much summing up the vibe of Fremantle. From warehouses converted into trendy cafes, hidden boutique stores to live street performances, it captures the spirit of Freo. And while Beach St Co. is just a piece of this puzzle, it plays its part beautifully.

If you're exploring Perth and find yourself craving a good coffee or a little downtime, Beach St Co. has got you covered. The mix of good coffee, friendly faces, and a community feel makes it worth stopping by again and again. Just remember, it's not just about the caffeine fix; it's the whole experience they offer that makes it memorable.
