Yelo Mt Hawthorn

Yelo Mt Hawthorn is a coffee spot where I find comfort. It's set on Oxford Street and feels like a local gem. The place opens its doors bright and early every day at 6 am. Perfect for people like me who crave that morning brew. Closing time is 3 pm, so I often swing by before heading out for afternoon errands.

One thing I appreciate here is the outdoor seating. It's cozy when the weather is just right, and the chance to sip coffee outside is a big plus for me. They allow dogs too, which is great if you're like me and often have your furry friend by your side. It's a welcoming spot for everyone.

Inside, the vibe is relaxed — nothing too fancy, just a spot where you feel at home. The coffee? Solid. No matter your preference, they make a good cup. Flat whites, lattes, and even healthier options like a turmeric latte are on the menu. Their service hits the mark, and they get your order right every time.

Accessibility is on point here. The wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating make it easy for everyone to enjoy this place. Plus, they have a wheelchair-accessible toilet which shows they care about all their visitors. It's nice to see a place that thinks of these details.

Hungry? You won't be disappointed. Their food menu matches the great coffee. I've tried a few things, and the avo toast is worth mentioning. The bread is hearty, and they don't skimp on the toppings. For a warmer choice, soups are a solid pick during colder days. With takeout and dine-in available, it's flexible whether you're in a rush or want to linger.

Speaking of lingering, if you're into people-watching, this spot is choice. Oxford Street has a steady flow of locals strolling by. The area itself has a lot more to offer. Around the corner, there's a park to stretch your legs after a meal or to walk the dog. Stop by Lake Monger for a peaceful view and the chance to see some black swans gliding by.

Nearby shops add to the neighborhood's charm. Small boutiques invite browsing, and there's always something new to discover. If books are your thing, a little bookstore down the street has a cool selection. It's easy to lose track of time flipping through pages.

If you've got kids, the Mount Hawthorn community has a lot for them, too. I've seen families head to Braithwaite Park right near the café. It's a good spot for kids to play and burn off energy. Parents can grab a quick coffee at Yelo beforehand or afterward.

Parking can be a bit tricky at times. I've learned that patience helps here, as street parking fills up quick. Coming early in the morning can save some frustration, or just take a walk if you live nearby.

The local food scene is vibrant, with places like Pappagallo, which makes a mean pizza. After a filling lunch there, it's hard not to swing by Yelo for a latte to complete your day. The area truly has a pulse to it.

Yelo's website offers updates, so checking it before going can be a smart move. I appreciate knowing what's new or if they've got any specials. They keep things simple and friendly, which is what I like in a local café.

In summary, Yelo Mt Hawthorn delivers a laid-back vibe with reliable coffee and eats. It's a spot you visit once, then find yourself coming back to time and again. Finding a place that feels like a second home is rare, but they seem to have nailed it here. It's a bright part of Mount Hawthorn's tight-knit community.
