So Shifa Cafe

I stumbled upon So Shifa Cafe tucked away in Leeming, and it's become a regular stop for me when cruising Perth's south side. The vibe is relaxed, perfect for a chill coffee break. They've got brunch nailed down too, with options to keep things fresh every time. Their kerbside pickup is a smart touch, especially in the middle of a busy week.

Their iced coffee hits the spot, especially during a hot spell. They know how to make a satisfying brew. The wheelchair-accessible entrance and parking make it easy for everyone to get around. The cafe is just a stone's throw from Beasley Park, which is ideal for kids to play. It's a life-saver for parents needing a caffeine boost while the kids burn off energy.

Take a peek at their menu online before heading over. Their smoothies are a hidden gem, packed with flavor. The staff is welcoming without overdoing it on chit-chat. Dogs are welcome too, so you don't have to leave your furry friend behind. Just bring a leash and your best dog's manners!

A strong point of So Shifa Cafe is their range for vegetarians, always a win for diverse groups. The serving sizes are decent and good for mixing and matching if you're sharing. They offer both dine-in and takeaway, which is great for those who can't sit still. Delivery is an option too, but popping in is half the fun.

Surrounding the cafe location, you'll find Leeming Forum Shopping Centre for a quick dash to the shops. It's got all the basics if you need to grab extra items for later. Nearby, Murdoch University holds some amazing community events, worth checking out if you've got the time.

When time's not on your side, the cafe's nearby highways make it easy to swing by on your way somewhere else. A suburb like Leeming is calm and welcoming, and the locals here are easy-going. The cafe thus fits in well, a place where regulars and newbies get the same friendly nod.

If brunching solo, set up with a book or get some work done. The WiFi is reliable and makes life easier when you want to stay productive. Staff don't rush you out the door, and I find it refreshing. Scone lovers should keep an eye out; their bakery options are worth the try.

So Shifa's got seating both inside and outside. On sunny days, outdoor spots are prime. Keep in mind, the weekends can get busy with the brunch crowd, but early risers will have their pick. They open at 6:30 am sharp during the week, so swing by and fuel your day early.

Sundays are more relaxed, fewer hours but still the same quality of service. If Monday rolls around and you find the doors locked, don't sweat it—they're closed. The surrounding area loads up with options during weekdays and weekends. South of this spot, Cockburn Gateway Shopping City beckons for a shopping spree or window shopping, depending on your mood.

Nearby golf clubs are a hit for those who fancy a swing, like Glen Iris Golf Course. It's a scenic drive away and great for a laid-back afternoon outside. For a change of pace, riverside views at Bull Creek are perfect for unwinding after a busy morning.

Back at So Shifa, the all-vegetarian breakfast option stole the show on my last visit. It's hearty without weighing you down, a nice mix with fresh beans in the mix. Going for seconds isn't unusual here, where the budget-friendly choices suit an easygoing feel.

In Leeming, the focus is on comfort and simplicity when eating out. So Shifa doesn't stray from this, keeping a clean presentation and genuine service. Whether passing through or setting up a working cocoon with your laptop, the cafe adjusts to your need-without fuss.

Eyeballing a visit? It all ties into how you feel on the day. Whether sprinkling your morning with croissant crumbs or coming through for a caffeine jolt, So Shifa keeps it smooth. In short, you'll fall right into the rhythm of this spot.
