Caffissimo Kingsway

Caffissimo Kingsway is nestled in a cozy spot right off Wanneroo Road in Madeley. As a regular visitor to coffee shops in and around Perth, this place has a unique charm. It might not be the highest rated, with an average score of 2.8 from 41 reviews, but it certainly has its own appeal.

The café's standout feature is its locally roasted coffee. You can tell there's a certain freshness in each cup. This place is part of a chain, but it doesn't feel too corporate. There's a variety of coffee options, from a simple black to a sweet mocha. I often see people doing takeaway, and sometimes, someone brings their dog. That's right—dogs are welcome here. There's something nice about sipping a latte while a furry friend sits by the table.

The atmosphere is relaxed, and it feels like you can take your time. Whether you want to dine in or grab your coffee to go, Caffissimo Kingsway accommodates. There's also plenty of seating that is wheelchair accessible, so it feels inclusive. Plus, the open hours are pretty convenient. You can drop in as early as 8 am on most days or grab a late cup on a weeknight until 7 pm. Sundays start a bit later though—11 am.

While you sip your coffee, you might notice a few regulars chatting or people having casual meetings. It's lively but not too noisy. It's one of those places where you can hear the espresso machine steaming, mixing with conversations in the background.

If you're in the area, Kingsway City Shopping Centre is just nearby. You can pop in for coffee and then handle any retail needs. There's a range of stores from fashion to essentials, so your day can start with coffee and end with some shopping therapy, all in one spot. There is also the Kingsway Indoor Stadium if you're up for some sport after your caffeine fix. Sometimes, it's nice to have more to do after grabbing coffee.

Back to Caffissimo, the vibe is casual and laid back. It's not fancy, but it's comfortable. This is a spot where you can show up looking like you just got out of bed, and nobody will bat an eye. There are some pastries and light bites too—they pair well with the drinks. If you're not in the mood for coffee, there's usually a decent selection of teas and juices.

Parking is easy because there's a wheelchair-accessible car park. And if you're in a rush, or just want to enjoy your coffee at home, delivery is an option. It caters to folks who may want to keep their pajamas on while sipping their brew.

There's a warmth from the staff. It's like they've gotten to know their regulars and greet new customers with a smile. There is a sense of trying even if they might be understaffed here and there. It's not about precision; it's largely about making people feel welcome.

Now, every coffee lover knows no place is perfect. Some say the service can be a bit slow, especially during the lunch rush. But, the laid-back vibe kind of makes it okay. You can look at it as time to relax. Plus, in a world where everything moves too fast, a tiny delay might be a blessing in disguise.

If you venture around Madeley, you'll find it sprinkled with a touch of local life. The area feels suburban but with enough happening to keep it from being sleepy. Caffissimo fits right in here. It's not trying to be a high-end café or a hipster joint. It's just a good spot for coffee and a chill time.

In the grand scheme, Caffissimo Kingsway is a humble part of the coffee scene here. It may not have perfect reviews, but for those who frequent it, it serves its purpose. It's the kind of place where you don't expect too much, and maybe that's its charm. When you just want a decent cup and a slice of normalcy, this little café delivers.

Next time you're on Wanneroo Road, consider stopping by. Whether you're heading to the shops or just passing through, it might just cater to your coffee cravings. And who knows, you might meet a friendly dog or two while you're there.
