Crooked Spire Coffee & Art House Henley Brook

If you're near Henley Brook, checking out Crooked Spire Coffee & Art House is a must. Tucked away in Wongin Park, it's a casual spot where coffee meets creativity. The café is like a little art gallery, with pieces on display changing often. It feels comfy and artsy, not stuffy at all.

Anyone who loves coffee knows that finding a good brew is like striking gold. Here, they serve a decent cup. The espresso is rich and hits the spot. They've got the usual suspects for coffee—latte, cappuccino, flat white. Everything's brewed with care. Their beans tend to be smooth, not too bitter. It's a good fix if you're in need of a morning jolt or an afternoon pick-me-up.

They operate early and close early. On weekdays, they open at 6:30 am, perfect if you're a morning person or heading to work. They shut around 2 pm, so don't plan a late afternoon visit. On weekends, they start at 7 am. It's also great for a lazy Sunday start. The vibe on the weekend is relaxed, with people chilling around, families and friends enjoying each other's company.

I always appreciate spots that are accessible. Crooked Spire checks that box with wheelchair-accessible parking, entrances, seating, and toilets. It's welcoming to everyone. For dog owners, feel free to bring your furry pal. They're dog-friendly, which is always a plus. Having breakfast with your pooch is a special treat they offer.

Speaking of food, brunch here is a winner. It's a simple menu but satisfying. Classic options like smashed avocado or eggs on toast are done just right. They also cater to takeaway and delivery, a handy convenience when you're pressed for time or prefer a meal at home. No-contact delivery is available too, keeping things easy and safe.

One of the nice things about this spot is the mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Inside, you're surrounded by art and chatter. It's a little haven from the world outside. If the weather's nice, opt for a table outdoors. Enjoy the fresh air and, sometimes, a gentle breeze that makes coffee taste even better.

The area around Crooked Spire is quite scenic. Henley Brook is part of the Swan Valley, known for its wineries and vineyards. On the way to the café, you might pass rolling fields and rows of grapevines. If you have the time, consider exploring nearby vineyards like Upper Reach or Sandalford. They offer wine tastings and tours, which could be a fun outing after your coffee fix.

Also in the area, there's the Whiteman Park with its natural bushlands and wildlife. It's only a short drive away and offers options for bushwalking and picnicking. You can even visit the Caversham Wildlife Park there for a chance to see kangaroos or koalas up close. It's a family-friendly day trip, but equally fun solo or with friends.

Crooked Spire is not just about the coffee. It feels like a community spot. They often host events or workshops, fostering a sense of connection among patrons. The local artists' work lining its walls really adds charm. It's not a place to rush. It's one of those cafes where sitting back with your coffee, observing the art, and people-watching becomes delightful.

If you love art or simple good vibes in your coffee hangouts, this is it. It's a casual, welcoming spot with enough character to keep you coming back. Whether you're a local or just passing through, Crooked Spire serves as a cool little hideaway worth visiting.
