The Beach Bus

The Beach Bus in Mosman Park is a real gem, nestled right by the coastline. This spot manages to capture the relaxed vibe of its surroundings and translates it beautifully into a cozy coffee stop. Easy to find, it's situated on Curtin Avenue and not too far from the beach. It's a great pit stop for both locals and visitors alike.

As a coffee shop regular, I'm always on the lookout for good spots, and this one has quickly become a favorite. They're open from Tuesday to Sunday, starting early at 7 am and closing at 2 pm, except on Fridays when they close an hour earlier. It's great for morning visits if you want to enjoy a freshly brewed cup of coffee while taking in the early sun. Plus, bonus points for being dog-friendly – perfect for your morning stroll with your furry friend!

The Beach Bus has this super chill vibe. It's not just about great coffee, though their brew is definitely top-notch. It's the whole experience that makes it stand out. I like that it's not overly pretentious. You can tell it's run with love by people who care about their community. There's outdoor seating, which I particularly enjoy. Sipping coffee in a natural setting makes all the difference, and being so close to the beach is just an added benefit. When the weather's good, which it often is around Perth, the outdoor seating is a perfect spot for people-watching or simply unwinding.

The place is also wheelchair accessible, which is great because it means everyone can enjoy it. They've got a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance, making it easy for everyone to come by. The setup feels inclusive, from the easy access to the friendly service.

Since The Beach Bus skews towards a more casual approach, it's ideal for takeaway as well. If you're headed to the nearby beaches or the parks around Mosman Park, grabbing a coffee to-go is a breeze. They've made it simple to dive in and out without much fuss. Yet, if you're not in a rush, the option to dine in is there, and it's worth taking the time to do so.

Their menu is straightforward, focusing on the essentials. Coffee, of course, is the star, brewed just right and always satisfying. There are also snacks to go along with your cup, although the variety might not compare to larger cafes. What's on offer is crafted with care and tastes fresh. Plus, considering they've got an average rating of 4.8 stars from 126 reviews, it's clear they do the basics very well.

The area around Mosman Park is quite lovely too. If you're planning to visit, there are things to do beforehand or afterward. The beach is an obvious attraction; it's a nice stretch of sand and surf that's perfect for a dip or just lounging about. Cottesloe Beach isn't too far either, a classic spot with wide appeal for sunbathers and surfers.

Locally, there are a couple of parks worth checking out. Mosman Park itself boasts sweeping views of the river, and it's a great location for a leisurely walk. The greenery is refreshing, and it's always pleasant to take in a bit of nature's tranquility. If you're more interested in history or culture, the area has a couple of spots worth a look, like the Mosman Park War Memorial.

After enjoying the coffee at The Beach Bus, and suppose you're still up for more exploring, head over to the nearby Fremantle area, which has a lively arts scene and some fantastic restaurants and bars. It's a short drive away and offers so much in terms of heritage buildings and funky shops.
