Fiori Coffee

I find myself stopping by Fiori Coffee whenever I'm around Mount Hawthorn. The spot sits right on Scarborough Beach Road. It's a cozy place with its own quirks. They open daily from 7 am to 5 pm, which is great if you need your caffeine fix at unusual hours. The overall vibe is laid-back, with a few folks lounging in chairs and others typing away on laptops.

One thing that stands out about Fiori Coffee is how accommodating they are for every type of visitor. The place is wheelchair-accessible, both the entrance and seating. You can bring your furry friend along too, which I appreciate as a dog lover. It feels welcoming, not just for people but for pets too.

I usually go for a simple flat white, and it rarely disappoints. The flavor is rich and bold. But, there's a mixed crowd when it comes to reviews. Some are thrilled with their drinks, while others find it lacking at times. For takeaways, they've got you covered, and they offer delivery, so it's pretty convenient if you're on the move.

The service can be a hit or miss. Sometimes, they're prompt and friendly—other times, a bit slow. I tend to chalk it up to how busy they are, but it's worth noting. If you're in a rush, maybe call ahead to check how busy it is first.

Fiori Coffee also sits in a great spot. Once you finish up your coffee, there are plenty of other things to do nearby. If you're not familiar with Mount Hawthorn, it's a lively suburb with a lot of charm. You have vintage shops, cool eateries, and even a park if you feel like a stroll. You can catch a flick at the Luna Cinemas on Oxford Street, only a short drive away. Or maybe you're into some retail therapy; there are some quirky stores along the main street for that.

Scarborough Beach isn't ridiculously far from here either. You could plan a beach day and start off with a cup from Fiori to warm up or unwind after. Zambelli's Pizza is just around the corner if your coffee leaves you craving some eats. There are also vibrant bars around, like The Oxford Hotel which can offer a good wrap-up to any day.

One day, while sipping my coffee, I noticed the place gets solid sun during mornings. It's nice to bask in it while sipping a slow brew. Afternoon shade cools things down nicely with a gentle breeze hinting through the outdoor seating. Mount Hawthorn's nearby traffic hums just enough to be calming, not distracting.

As a regular visitor to coffee spots all around Perth, it's hard not to compare. Fiori isn't high-end chic, nor does it aim to be. It's a simple place with a simple mission—to serve coffee to the community. Sometimes, that's more than enough.

If you're meeting a friend, there's plenty of space to chat without yelling over the noise. But, it doesn't get boisterously loud which is a plus. In contrast to more bustling cafes around Perth, Fiori seems to keep things at a medium pace, which suits the neighborhood feel.

I appreciate the no-nonsense menu, but it might be a touch limited for those who seek variety. They don't seem to overreach and premium snacks accompany their coffee selection. A small chillout session with a beverage here is how I define a good afternoon.

Parking isn't much of a hassle. The available car park is both accessible and surprisingly spacious, something not every city location can boast. And yes, it's wheelchair-friendly.

In summary, Fiori Coffee is laid-back with solid offerings and a community-centric vibe. It's not everyone's top-favorite based on ratings, but I enjoy simplicity, and they deliver just that. Whether you're looking for a cup to go or a sit-down pause from your day, it works. If you're around, stop in, order a quick drink—judge for yourself. And if it's your first time, take time to explore Mount Hawthorn too, there's plenty to see and do.
