New Ritual Cafe

I stumbled upon New Ritual Cafe while roaming around Midland, and it's quickly become a favorite of mine. You know how folks are always hunting for that perfect coffee spot with a laid-back vibe? Well, this is it. Located on The Crescent, it's right in the heart of Midland. The area has a few things going on, so after a visit here, there's plenty to keep you busy.

The best part about New Ritual Cafe? They're open early. If you're like me and need a caffeine fix before the day begins, you'll love that they're serving from 6:15 am on weekdays and 7 am on weekends. The hours are perfect for catching a morning coffee or brunch, which they do well.

And speaking of coffee, their brew is spot on. I've been to countless coffee joints around Perth, and their coffee is easily among the top contenders. It's not just the coffee that keeps me coming back. The vibe is cozy yet open, with a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you're soaking up the sun or enjoying the cool indoor atmosphere, it's a good spot to relax.

One thing I adore is that it's dog-friendly. It's nice to see a place where I can grab a bite with my furry mate by my side. Plus, there's a wheelchair-accessible entrance and facilities, which is important. It feels like a place that really considers everyone's needs.

Midland itself has its own charm. After grabbing your coffee, it's worth taking a short walk to explore. You can pop by Midland Gate Shopping Centre if you feel like doing a bit of shopping or hitting the movies. For those into history, the Railway Reserves Heritage Trail isn't too far and makes for a nice stroll while sipping your takeaway cup.

Back to the cafe, the brunch menu is good enough to make you wake up early on a lazy weekend. They offer a decent range that makes picking a meal tricky because everything sounds tempting. I like a good smashed avo, and theirs is fresh and generously served. Whether it's a hearty breakfast or something light, they've got you covered.

Service-wise, I've never had to wait too long, even when it's buzzing. The staff is friendly, always ready with a smile. It's the kind of place where they remember your face if not your order, making you feel like a regular on your second visit.

If you're swinging by during the weekend, plan for a possible wait because it can get busy. But to me, that just means people know it's worth the visit. I also appreciate that they're into recycling and being eco-friendly, which is a nice plus in today's world.

If you find yourself in the area during day time, the cafe is about a 30-minute drive from the city, and there's plenty of public transport options too. Midland Train Station isn't far away, so it's easy to access if you're not driving. Parking can be tricky at peak times, but there is a wheelchair-accessible car park which is great.

Their delivery and takeaway options could be handy if you're looking to grab and go, and who doesn't love brunch at home sometimes? But personally, I prefer sitting in and soaking up the local buzz.

If shopping isn't your thing, head over to Juniper Gardens or Harold Boas Gardens nearby. It's nice to stroll through nature after indulging in some good food. Just another reason why this location works well, you can blend urban adventures with laid-back nature vibes.

In the end, New Ritual Cafe is more than just another spot in Midland. It's those small touches and consistent quality that draw you in. For anyone who's a regular at coffee shops in Perth, it's a place that earns a top spot on the list.

There's comfort in knowing you'll get a reliably good coffee every time. Plus, Midland itself has grown on me, and having New Ritual tucked in the mix makes it a must-drop-by whenever I'm in the suburb. If you're around, it's a cozy spot that really ticks all the boxes for a laid-back coffee hangout.
