Love Avenue Cafe

As a regular visitor to coffee shops around Perth, I recently made a trip to Love Avenue Cafe in Midland. This little spot on The Avenue has grown to be a favorite of mine. Midland isn't short of interesting places, but this cafe really stands out. The vibe is welcoming with a cozy setting, perfect for a laid-back morning or an unhurried afternoon.

What initially drew me in was their rave reviews, and with an average rating of 4.9 out of 15 reviews, it's clear why folks love it. Love Avenue is not just a place to grab coffee; it has its unique charm. When you step in, the warm decor makes it clear this place thinks about comfort. It's not overly fancy or done-up. The seating is comfy, and happily, it's wheelchair accessible, which is rare in older parts of town.

If you're headed there for brunch, you're in luck. They know their way around a brunch menu. The offerings are fresh and well-prepared, with good portion sizes. Try the eggs on toast, cooked just right, or their muffins, always fluffy and delicious. And the best part? Dogs are welcome! This makes for great people-watching, as many folks pop in with their furry pals. It keeps the atmosphere lively and friendly.

Now, about the coffee. Love Avenue Cafe delivers a mean cup of joe. Whether you're a flat white enthusiast or a lover of bold espresso, they've got you covered. The quality is consistent, and it's clear why their regulars rave about it. Tea drinkers aren't left out either, with a decent selection that's sure to please.

With operations from Monday to Friday, from 6:30 am to 2:30 pm, it's an easy stop for the daily grind on your way to work or during your lunch break. Sadly, it's closed on weekends, which is a bummer for those of us who like to laze about with a coffee on a Saturday.

The cafe also offers several options for how you take your food home. They provide no-contact delivery, a smart choice in these times, and you can also opt for takeaway. Although I enjoy sitting down with my cup, it's great that this place caters to those who need to grab and go.

What's more, Love Avenue's location in the heart of Midland is perfectly convenient. It's near the Midland Gate Shopping Centre, just a short walk away if you need to run errands or catch a movie at the cinema afterward. You will also find the Midland Railway Workshops nearby, a cool spot if you're into local history. After a visit to the cafe, it's easy to extend your outing to these locations.

If you love a bit of nature, pack your things after breakfast or lunch and head over to the nearby Swan Regional Riverside Park. It's a quick drive from the cafe and perfect for a leisurely stroll to soak up some sun and fresh air.

It's easy to settle into the community spirit here at Love Avenue Cafe. You're not rushed out, and the staff always appear in good cheer, ready for a chat if you are. There's an ease of conversation among the regulars too. It feels a bit like a local hangout, rather than just a place people shuffle in and out of quickly.

Parking is not an issue, either. They have a wheelchair-accessible car park, adding to the comfort and ease for all kinds of visitors. I never worry about finding a spot, even on busier mornings.

Being in Midland means the place hums with activity without being overwhelmingly crowded. You get the charm of small-town friendliness and the convenience of city amenities. With a cafe like this as a centerpiece, it makes Midland a destination worth exploring more often.

So, if you find yourself longing for a place to refuel with great coffee and a tasty muffin or two on a weekday, Love Avenue Cafe should be on your list. Get there early in the day because it's a treat you won't want to miss out on. This place brings a slice of relaxed, comfortable cafe culture right into the heart of Midland, and I'm glad it did.
