Cranked Coffee

Cranked Coffee sits on Oxford Street in Leederville, offering a cozy vibe. It's an open-plan cafe which is perfect for laid-back meals. The first thing you notice is its welcoming, casual feel. It's pretty popular, with a solid crowd most days, and you often see familiar faces. The weekends kick off bright and early here. They open at 7 am on Saturdays, so it's a good spot to jumpstart your day. Sundays start a little later at 7:30 am, which is still great for early risers.

Cranked Coffee is serious about accessibility. The car park, entrance, seating, and toilet facilities all accommodate wheelchairs. It's refreshing to see an eatery where everyone can feel comfortable. Families with strollers find it easy to navigate too. There's outdoor seating, which is perfect for those sunny Perth mornings. If you're a pet lover, you'll be pleased to know that dogs are welcome here. It feels like a little community hub, where people chat over breakfast while their dogs sit happily at their feet.

Now, about the coffee—it's spot on. A good cup can make your day, and theirs sure does. The staff has a knack for brewing a rich, flavorsome coffee. You always get a friendly greeting, and they remember your order after a couple of visits. It's these little touches that set places like this apart. Their eclectic meals are worth mentioning as well. There's variety, without the menu feeling overwhelming. Whether you're in the mood for a big breakfast or something light, they've got you covered.

Wi-Fi is available, making it a good spot to catch up on some work or check emails. You'll notice a mix of people—students, business folks, freelancers, all tapping away on their laptops. But it doesn't feel like a library—there's a buzz of chatter and clinking coffee cups. If you want to just sit back and relax, it's perfect too. They do takeaway if you're on the go, and delivery if you're too comfy at home to leave the couch. I find their service is quick, which is great when you have a busy schedule.

If you fancy a walk after coffee, there's a lot around the area. Leederville has that blend of funky and chill, with plenty of shops and eateries in walking distance. Just down the street, you'll find boutiques and quirky shops that are fun to browse. Nearby, Luna Palace Cinemas offers some good indie films. You could catch a movie and then head back to Cranked for brunch. For art lovers, the array of colorful murals in Leederville is a treat. It's like an open-air gallery, perfect for a casual walk.

William Street is just a short hop away, with more to explore. Here, you'll encounter a mix of Asian eateries and hip bars. Northbridge, with its energetic nightlife, isn't too far away either. But don't worry, Cranked Coffee gives you a peaceful retreat amidst all the buzz.

The staff here is laid-back yet attentive. They enjoy chatting with customers, giving you that lovely local cafe feel. Not overly formal, just genuine interaction that makes you feel at home. You'll meet people from different walks of life enjoying their morning routine. This blend of locals and newcomers adds to the cafe's vibrant atmosphere. Over time, you might find yourself joining in the conversation.

In the afternoon, the cafe tends to quiet down a bit. It's a good time to have a peaceful moment with a good book. The light filters gently through the windows—enough to give you that warm, cozy coffee shop glow. By the time the cafe closes at 2 pm, you feel recharged.

Cranked Coffee is the sort of place that wraps you in a laid-back vibe. It's not just about the coffee or the food, but the whole experience. You're part of a community when you walk through those doors. This is what makes it easy to return, again and again.
