Fremantle Cafe by Celeste

I've frequented quite a number of coffee spots around Perth, and Fremantle Cafe by Celeste in Palmyra has something solid to offer. Nestled at the corner of Carrington Street and Kirby Avenue, this place feels comfortable and friendly. A bonus, if you're into dogs, is that they allow them here. You can sip coffee and chill with your furry friend by your side. Having a wheelchair-accessible car park and seating makes it easier for everyone to visit, which is always appreciated.

Now, about the coffee. It's good. There's warmth and depth in every cup. No pretentiousness here, just well-made brews. With an average rating of 4.3 from 31 reviews, I'm clearly not alone in enjoying their offerings. The crowd isn't too heavy, so you usually find peace while sipping your drink. I've noticed that people come in for a bit of everything: dine-in, takeaway, or even delivery. So, whatever your preference, they've got you covered.

The food menu is straightforward but satisfying. Brunch is popular here, and I get why. The portions fill you up, and the flavors feel homely. If you're into brunch, don't skip this spot. It's not about fancy plating; it's about heart and taste. Make time for a leisurely bite if you can between 8:30 am and 3:30 pm from Monday to Friday because, sadly, they close on weekends.

Palmyra itself is a cozy suburb with a laid-back vibe. You won't find the hustle and bustle of downtown Perth, but that's the charm. You might hear the quiet chatter from locals who know each other, giving the neighborhood a friendly mood. Walking around outside the cafe is usually enjoyable thanks to wide streets and trees providing refreshing shade.

Nearby, you've got a mix of interesting spots to visit. Not far off is a small shopping strip with some retail stores and services you might need. You can wander around or pop into a shop if you fancy a bit of exploring after your coffee fix. A little travel can get you to the bigger attractions in Fremantle itself, with its maritime history and vibrant arts scene. There, you'll find the Fremantle Markets, a fantastic spot for unique finds and local crafts. A quick drive also takes you to the picturesque South Beach, great for a stroll or some quiet reflection by the ocean.

Celeste's website is quite straightforward, showing off what they do best without fluff. They focus more on what they serve than on fancy graphics or long descriptions. This no-nonsense approach is refreshing and matches the experience you get in person. If you're in need of more detail, their contact number is on display, and I'd recommend calling for specific queries as the website is minimalistic.

A side thing I noticed was cleanliness. That's something you often overlook until it's missing. Here, tables get cleared pretty fast, and everything looks tidy overall. The staff have friendly faces and seem genuine in their service, which makes a difference in how you feel staying there.

If you like a peaceful cafe experience, give this one a try. It's one of those cozy corners where coffee just tastes better because the environment supports it. And for someone like me, who loves exploring different cafes around Perth, Fremantle Cafe by Celeste holds its own in the local scene. The combination of quality coffee, hearty brunch options, and a relaxed setting makes it a spot worth revisiting when in Palmyra.
