The Other Office

I often find myself wandering into coffee shops around Perth, and The Other Office in Osborne Park is one of my favorites. Nestled in the Garden Office Park, it's a little oasis near the busy Scarborough Beach Road. The first thing that strikes me is the relaxed vibe here, which fits perfectly with my easygoing visits. They open early, at 7 am, which suits my morning coffee needs on weekdays, though they close at 2:30 pm, so no late afternoon pick-me-ups here.

The coffee is consistently good, which is why I keep coming back. The baristas know their stuff and whip up a mean flat white. They've got a simple menu, but what they do, they do well. I'm a fan of their rich espresso. If you're on the go, you can always grab a takeaway, which is a plus during the rush hour. On sunny days, I love sitting outside, and luckily they provide outdoor seating. It's a perfect spot to enjoy a cup of coffee and watch the world go by, plus you're allowed to bring your dog along.

As a regular, I've noticed their commitment to accessibility. There's a wheelchair-accessible car park, entrance, seating, and toilet. This makes it convenient for everyone to enjoy a coffee break. It's comforting to see businesses being thoughtful and inclusive.

Osborne Park might not be the first place you think of for a leisurely day, but there's a surprising amount to explore. Just nearby, Herdsman Lake offers a lovely spot for a walk or some bird-watching if you're into nature. I often find myself there after a coffee, enjoying the lush surroundings and the calmness of the area.

Food options at The Other Office lean towards the brunch side, and though the menu isn't extensive, it always hits the spot for breakfast. The smashed avo is a staple choice—you can't really go wrong with it. They prepare it well, with generous portions and fresh ingredients. If you crave something sweet, they have some pastries and sweets on offer too, which are tempting on those sleepy mornings when you need some sugar with your caffeine hit.

In Osborne Park, you can also hop over to nearby shops or car dealerships, depending on what brings you to the area. It's a bustling business hub, but The Other Office gives you a pocket of calm amid the hustle and bustle. I've noticed a mix of locals and business folks in here, working on laptops or catching up over coffee. It's a place where meetings seem to happen naturally, given its position in an office park.

Parking isn't usually a hassle here, which is nice. I appreciate not having to stress about finding a spot nearby. With the door open to all, you might catch the aroma of fresh coffee before you even enter. It's a wonderful sign of what's in store.

While you're in the area, you might want to swing by Centro Galleria for some shopping, or maybe catch a flick at the nearby cinema. Having easy options for other activities makes Osborne Park a place where I can spend more than just a quick coffee break.

Back to The Other Office, the staff here makes the experience even better. They're friendly and seem genuinely happy to chat or give recommendations if you're unsure of what to order. The community vibe is strong; it's like being in a neighborhood cafe rather than just another stop in a business park.

Overall, The Other Office is a gem in an unexpected place. It's not fancy or trying too hard, but it does what it does well. It's the perfect pit stop on a busy weekday or a chill start to your morning. Whether I'm grabbing a quick coffee or unwinding with a brunch, I know it'll suit my mood just right. They may shut over the weekend, which is a bit of a bummer, but the weekdays make up for it. Plus, it gives me a reason to look forward to Mondays. If you're around Osborne Park and need a good coffee spot, you won't regret coming here.
