Darkstar Coffee Roasters

Darkstar Coffee Roasters is a gem in Osborne Park. I'm a sucker for good coffee, and this place doesn't disappoint. The coffee is rich, smooth, and hits the spot every time. Whether you're grabbing a cup on your way to work or sitting in, it's a caffeine fix that feels special. Their hours work well for early birds, opening at 6 am from Monday to Friday. Perfect for that morning jolt of energy. Saturdays they open at 7 am, so keep that in mind for weekend visits. Sundays are more chill, with the place open from 9 am.

The vibe inside is warm and welcoming, ideal for either a quick catch-up with friends or some quiet solo time. The shop is wheelchair accessible, which is great. They also allow dogs, so your furry friend can join you on your coffee run. It's always nice to see a dog-friendly spot, adds an extra touch of friendliness.

Osborne Park itself is a busy part of Perth with lots going on. It's mostly industrial but has these pockets of interesting places if you know where to look. There's more than just tools and car yards here. For instance, if you feel like hitting the shops after your coffee, the Osborne Park Homemaker Centre is nearby. Perfect for a quick browse or some window shopping.

The coffee joint is located on Frobisher Street, a spot that's quite easy to get to. The first time I visited Darkstar, I wasn't sure what to expect. It's a bit tucked away, but totally worth the hunt. Parking is usually easy, with enough spots outside. And it's wheelchair friendly too, with smooth access all around.

Besides coffee, they also offer a selection of bites. Sometimes you just want a good old toastie with your latte. They've got you covered. Once, I had their banana bread, warm and served with butter, and wow, it was delightful. The simple menu complements the star of the show—coffee. They roast their beans right there, and you can taste the freshness. I've even grabbed a bag of beans to try making my own coffee at home, though it never turns out quite the same.

If you fancy a bit of delivery, they offer that too. It's nice to have good coffee at home without the fuss. On a sunny day, grabbing takeaway and sitting outside can be a pleasant experience. Osborne Park might be more industrial, but it has its moments, and Darkstar adds a cozy touch.

The staff at Darkstar Coffee Roasters are always friendly and quick to help. You can tell they know their coffee, and that passion translates into what they serve. Chatting with them about their latest bean offerings can sometimes lead to discovering new flavors you never thought you'd love.

If you're in the area, maybe after checking out a nearby gym or heading for some art supplies at Art Framers Warehouse, pop by and grab a brew. The location, the love for coffee, and the community feel make this place worth it. It's a standout spot amidst the hustle and bustle of the surrounding area.

I've brought friends along on several visits, and they've all become fans. It's one of those places that leave a mark, turning casual visitors into regulars. And I guess that's what keeps me coming back. It's not just about good coffee, but a welcome escape from the everyday grind. It doesn't matter if you're a coffee newbie or practically a barista yourself—Darkstar hits the right note for everyone.

Their website has more info if you need it, but honestly, the best way to get a feel is to visit. Sipping on a freshly brewed cup, surrounded by that comforting aroma—Darkstar makes you appreciate the art of coffee. It's these hidden gems across the suburbs that remind you why Perth's coffee scene is worth exploring.

In short, this isn't just any coffee shop. It's a blend of good vibes, friendly faces, and coffee that's beyond your usual flat white. So next time you find yourself in Osborne Park, skip the usual chains and head to Darkstar. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you.
