The Bodhi Tree

The Bodhi Tree in Mount Hawthorn feels like a second home for us coffee lovers. As you step inside, the smell of freshly brewed coffee greets you warmly. The vibe is laid back, with seats that invite you to stay awhile. Being a regular around Perth's coffee shops, I've seen my fair share, and this spot stands out for its friendliness and warmth.

I frequent The Bodhi Tree on weekends for a leisurely brunch, perfectly fitting its hours of 8 am to 4 pm. Its consistent opening times daily make it easy to remember when planning a visit. I appreciate how it caters to various needs with options to dine-in, takeaway, or even get delivery. Perfect for those lazy Sundays when stepping outside seems too much.

Accessibility isn't an afterthought here. From wheelchair-accessible parking to seating and restrooms, it's inclusive. For folks with pups, well, you'll be pleased to know that dogs are welcome, adding a cheerful vibe to the place. Outdoor seating is another bonus, especially on those sunny Perth days.

Now, let's talk coffee. The baristas know their craft and serve with a smile. Each cup carefully made, sometimes with a flower, bird, or heart swirling atop the foam. A generous touch. If coffee isn't your thing, teas and other hot drinks keep you covered.

The food is perfect for a bruncher's heart. The menu has fresh, wholesome dishes, leaving you feeling full but not too heavy. If you're a fan of avo toast, theirs is ace. The bread's nicely toasted, and the avo is always ripe. There's also a decent range of sweet treats, great for satisfying a sugar craving.

What strikes me most is the people here. From locals stopping by for their usual morning pick-me-up to others huddled over books, tapping away on laptops, or friends catching up. Everyone seems to find their place in this cozy joint.

Wi-Fi is available, which means work or browsing isn't an issue. It's not lightning fast, but it gets the job done. Hanging out with a laptop and coffee, it's pretty much your second office. Mind you, it doesn't have that clinical office feel—more like a friendly nook in your house.

Now, what else is nearby in Mount Hawthorn? Just a short stroll away, you will find some great boutiques and local shops worth poking into. It makes for a fun browse after you down your last drop of coffee. There's also a beautiful park nearby for a walk if you feel like balancing coffee indulgence with fresh air.

The coffee shop scene in Mount Hawthorn is competitive, yet The Bodhi Tree holds its own. The location is great with perks like an accessible setup, dog-friendliness, and charming vibes. With its combination of good food, cozy atmosphere, and a welcoming team, it's a spot you tend to return to. Drawn in by the lure of another great cup, and maybe another slice of cake, it's hard to resist being back soon. If you haven't been to The Bodhi Tree, give it a visit, but get ready—it might just become your new favorite spot!
