Taylors In The Valley

Coffee is my go-to elixir, as it's why I trek out to all sorts of corners for that perfect cup. Taylors In The Valley, tucked in Middle Swan on the Great Northern Highway, hits the sweet spot for laid-back vibes. Nestled amid some lush greenery, this quaint cafe brings a touch of zen to your morning brew.

Their easy-going vibe and leafy terrace make it a top pick for brunch. A quiet spot for solo time or a lazy family outing, with tables nicely spaced apart. Warm days beg for some al fresco seating. Dogs are welcome, too, so it's perfect if you've got a furry friend tagging along.

Everything tastes fresh here. While the regular suspects like avocado toast line the menu, their specials usually offer a happy surprise. Organic eggs and local produce definitely shine through in their simple, yet hearty meals. Pair your meal with a cup of their coffee that definitely brings warmth, perfectly brewed and strong enough to kick-start your day.

Navigating the cafe is simple, and it's fully wheelchair accessible. The wide entrance and seating accommodate all with ease. Plus, gender-neutral restrooms make everyone feel at home. It's always refreshing to see some thought into creating an inclusive environment.

I've swung by on countless mornings, and funnily enough, the crowd is always varied. Some days it's buzzing with chatty diners, while other times you've just got a handful of folks, heads down in a book or tapping away on laptops. It doesn't hurt to have that extra buzz as company when sipping your latte.

Besides coffee, Taylors can't take all the credit for this area's charm. The Swan Valley region itself is a gem. Think wineries aplenty and sprawling vineyards just begging for a sunny afternoon drive. So, after a lazy brunch, there's always more to explore right at your fingertips. Grapes aside, roadside stalls with fresh produce can be a pit stop for those keen on a healthy snack before heading back home.

Though Taylors keeps it quaint, their website dishes out all the info one needs ahead of time. Plan around their hours as they're closed on Monday and Tuesday, a bummer if you're working around a weekday itinerary. Showing up Wednesday through Sunday guarantees a laid-back start to your day.

Ticks in the pros column are many. Solid cups of coffee hardly ever disappoint, alongside a warm and welcoming atmosphere. But there's a small hiccup now and then—some days the service can waver when it gets rush-heavy. A bit of patience takes care of that, as the staff is genuinely friendly even when stretched thin.

In the local scene, Taylors is quite the hit. With a 4.4 rating among over a thousand voices, most folks seem to agree on their steady greatness. A repeat visit hits the spot if peaceful surroundings and earnest food are what you're craving.

While the cafe itself shines, don't miss the broader charm of Middle Swan. Places like Whiteman Park offer bike trails and picnic spots, and a visit lets the kiddos run wild if they need a break from cafe culture. A little further out, Caversham Wildlife Park makes getting up close to native animals a breezy outing. Feed a kangaroo or snap a pic with a koala and still be back at Taylors for tea in the afternoon.

Weekends hold a certain magic over at Taylors. Whether you're lounging with brunch, taking a pause from your phone, or getting lost in an easy novel, it never disappoints. Wake up early and beat the crowd for the choice of the best spots and the freshest start to your day.

Mornings in Middle Swan now have a comforting routine, thanks to this brunch haven. Each visit feels like a mini escape, the kind that leaves you musing over that next visit before heading home. It's clear, Taylors In The Valley delivers a special touch of charm, warmth, and respite from the daily grind.
