2 keys Coffee Boutique

I've been making my rounds to coffee shops all over Perth, and 2 Keys Coffee Boutique stands out. Nestled on Oxford Street in Mount Hawthorn, it's a spot I find myself returning to again and again. It's got one of those not-too-big, not-too-small vibes. You know what I mean. And it's just a quick stroll from Menzies Park. Seeing locals and their dogs play at the park just adds to the charm.

2 Keys Coffee Boutique has a nice setup with both indoor and outdoor seating. When the weather's perking up, you can sip your coffee outside, get a bit of sun, and even bring your dog. It's great having a place where dogs are welcome. Inside, there's enough space to find your own little corner.

Let's talk coffee. It's darn good. They know how to brew a cup that hits just right. Every time I visit, it's just what I need to kick off the morning or perk up an afternoon. Their menu is well thought out—simple but varied enough to tempt you to try something new every time. They offer takeaway, so you can grab your coffee and head off on your way, whether it's to the park, the shops, or just a stroll down the lovely streets around here.

I've only ever had good experiences with the staff. They're friendly, and their service feels genuine and unhurried even during busy times. There's something about the pace at 2 Keys that makes it feel welcoming and unrushed.

Breakfast and brunch options are worth a mention. There's a mix of hearty and light options, so depending on how hungry you are, you'll find something to suit. The smashed avo or bacon and egg rolls are solid choices. Brunch is really a moment to bask when enjoyed out on the patio.

They open nice and early, from 6:30 in the morning each day. This makes it a top spot for early risers or if you have morning meetings. Closing times are early afternoon, which is common around here, but it still gives plenty of time to make your visit.

Parking is a piece of cake. It's accessible and not a hassle, which makes a difference when you don't want to fuss about with parking meters or crowded lots.

As for accessibility, the entrance and parking are wheelchair-friendly, which is always important. I've seen families with prams and folks with mobility aids move around comfortably. It's all the little things 2 Keys pays attention to that make it easy to love.

If you're around Mount Hawthorn, it's worth noting that there's plenty more to check out. The area is packed with charming places like small boutiques and bakeries. I often find myself wandering through the shops in the area after a coffee, picking up a thing or two. It's the kind of suburb where there's always something new to spot around the corner, from unique storefronts to street art.

Tyler Village Shopping Centre is nearby too, for when you need to tick off more errands. Or, if it's culture you're after, the Floreat Athena Soccer Club and Leederville Oval are just down the road. Catch a local game and feel the community spirit kicking in.

Around lunchtime, especially on a sunny day, the energy around Mount Hawthorn builds up. People spilling out of cafes and onto pedestrian-friendly paths, always good for people-watching and grabbing a bite. Oxford Street comes alive in the sun, and 2 Keys is right in the heart of all the action.

If you find yourself wandering by in the afternoon, make sure you give yourself the time to hang around. Enjoy another cuppa and take in the street's vibe as the day slows down. People start wrapping up their workdays, and it's something to enjoy, being part of that transition.

Now and then, they host events, bringing a bit of buzz to the usual routine. It's less about what's strictly on the calendar, and more about the surprise of happening upon a local artist or musician.

There's a sense of community around this place. You spot regulars chatting with baristas as though they are old friends. Whether you're looking to become a regular or just stopping by while exploring, it's a great spot.

So, in a town filled with coffee shops, 2 Keys Coffee Boutique is one I'll keep coming back to. It's hard to walk away from a place that feels like it's got its own heartbeat of the area. It's a blend of great coffee, easygoing service, and a welcoming setup. Next time you're in Mount Hawthorn, make sure to have a sip and see.
