Six Street Cafe

Whenever I find myself in Joondalup, I make it a point to visit Six Street Cafe. This joint is tucked inside the Edith Cowan University campus. It's basically my go-to spot when I need a caffeine fix or just want to relax for a bit. The location is super convenient, especially if you're attending uni or just cruising through Joondalup.

The first thing that strikes you about Six Street Cafe is the vibe. The atmosphere is relaxed, kind of like a home away from home. It's somewhere you can hang out, chat with friends, or even get some work done. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, which is perfect because I enjoy sitting outside when it's not too hot. Plus, the space is wheelchair accessible, which makes it welcoming for everyone.

The coffee here is solid. Not once have I been disappointed. They serve a range of options from robust espressos to smooth lattes. Everything smells incredible and tastes even better. The coffee is what you'd expect from a 4.2-star-rated cafe with plenty of reviews. It's consistently good and never burns your tongue or taste weird. But it's not just about the coffee. They also have a selection of teas, which my friends swear by.

For the food, they don't cut corners. Their brunch is popular - simple, hearty, and tasty. The menu doesn't try to be too fancy, sticking to classic favorites done well. I've had their avocado on toast and it was top-notch. Everything seems fresh and is well presented. They also offer takeaway if you're in a hurry, which has been handy on more than one occasion.

Six Street Cafe is dog-friendly, which is a huge plus for me. I love any place where I can bring my furry pal along. It's nice to see more spots that welcome pets, and it adds to the friendly atmosphere here. Once or twice, I've spotted uni students with their dogs chilling outside, catching some sun and sipping on java.

The weekdays are when you want to visit since they're closed on weekends. I find the opening hours quite accommodating. From 7:30 am until 6 pm most days, you have plenty of time to swing by for your caffeine fix or lunch. However, they do close a bit earlier on Fridays, so keep that in mind.

Being on a university campus, the surroundings have that vibrant kind of energy. Once you've grabbed your coffee or meal, take a little stroll. Joondalup's packed with stuff to do and see. The campus itself is nice to walk around, with plenty of green space to stretch your legs. Off-campus, Lake Joondalup is nearby and is great for a longer walk or just to sit and watch nature.

There are also a few shops and a shopping center nearby, providing a decent range of activities if you've got extra time. Whether you're in the mood for a bit of retail therapy or just looking to window shop, you're sorted. Sometimes I'll pop by the shops after grabbing a coffee if I'm needing some groceries or just want to browse around.

Public transport going to the cafe is pretty decent. The train to Joondalup station connects with buses that drop you close enough to the campus. Plus, there are car parks available if you're driving in. A note, though: the spaces fill up quickly during uni hours, as you might expect.

In Joondalup, the mix of nature and city is special. So when you find a cafe like Six Street, that embraces this balance, it feels just right. It's a spot where you can recharge and step away from the chaos of busy days. I guess that's why I find myself coming back whenever I'm around. It's uncomplicated, friendly, and just a fun place to be.
