Write a ReviewFreshwaters in Peppermint Grove is a nice spot for coffee lovers like me. With a rating of 3.9 and close to 500 reviews, it's clear it's a popular choice. I visit coffee shops all over Perth, and this one stands out in its own way. The location is convenient, nestled in a lovely part of town that's quiet but not too far from the buzz of city life.
Its hours make it really accessible. Open every day from 6 am to 8 pm, it's great for an early morning pick-me-up or a relaxed evening wind down. The coffee here is decent, though not mind-blowing, it gets the job done. It's more about the whole experience than just the coffee itself.
What I appreciate about Freshwaters is the atmosphere. There's a laid back vibe that's hard to beat. It's a comfortable place where you can unwind. I've often found myself lingering for a chat with friends or to catch up on some reading.
One huge plus is the love for accessibility. Freshwaters makes sure everyone can enjoy their space. The wheelchair-accessible entry, parking, and seating are just right. They also offer gender-neutral toilets, which I think is a great touch.
If you're with your furry friend, you're in luck. Dogs are welcome here, making it a perfect stop after a walk in nearby parks. It's always nice to have your pet along while you sip away.
Outdoor seating at Freshwaters is a nice feature for sunny days. The outdoor area is cozy, and you can enjoy your coffee with a view that's a bit more than just pavement. When it gets busy, it can be a bit noisy, but that's typical almost everywhere.
The option for takeaway or delivery is handy too. Sometimes you just need your coffee on-the-go, and here it's a breeze. When you're in the mood to sit down, they do offer dine-in service which is always nice for a more leisurely visit.
Freshwaters isn't trying to be overly fancy or pretentious, and that's part of its charm. It fits right into the local area like a comfy old sweater. Plus, their menu has enough variety to keep every visit a bit different. On a sunny day, their salads or a fresh pastry go perfectly with their coffees.
Nearby, Peppermint Grove's natural charm is appealing. Not far away lies the stunning Cottesloe Beach. After coffee, a short drive or stroll can land you on the sands, enjoying a bit of sun and sea. Freshwaters can be the start or end of a beach day, and it fits into the plan seamlessly.
Besides the beach, the area has a few lovely parks and green spaces. They are perfect for a walk or just to relax outdoors. If you have kids, the playgrounds nearby are great for burning off some energy.
For a bit of culture, you might find local galleries and shops worth a peek. It rounds out the visit and makes for a nice outing. Shopping options, while not vast, offer some unique finds that keep with the local character.
When it comes to quirks, Freshwaters has its share. Service can be hit or miss. Some days, the staff is on top of everything, quick and friendly. Other times, you might feel waiting a tad longer than you'd like. But it's never too much to put me off a visit altogether. They clearly try, and overall, it leaves happy customers coming back.
Their website offers more insight into their offerings and any events, which helps plan ahead. It's a spot I've bookmarked for when I need an easygoing and reliable coffee stop not too far from the usual Perth spots.
Ultimately, Freshwaters is more than just a coffee stop; it's a slice of local life. Its strengths lie in being comfortable, welcoming, and part of a community. While it may not push the boundaries of coffee nirvana, it provides what you need for a good visit. It's one of those places you notice the little things that make it tick, and over time, those little things keep you coming back. If you're in Peppermint Grove, Freshwaters is definitely worth a try in between your local adventures.
