Bench Espresso

I find myself heading to Bench Espresso in Perth often. It's a snug spot on Hay Street, tucked amidst the lively vibe of the city. Always bustling with energy, the place has a cozy welcoming vibe. Right off the bat, their hip counter service strikes me as straightforward yet pretty cool.

My workdays take on a brighter tone starting with their coffee. They serve arguably one of the best flat whites I've had. The baristas don't mess around. They craft each cup with care, ensuring just the right balance of flavor and aroma. As a true coffee fan, I can't get enough of it. Their sweets game is strong too. Those homemade muffins and cookies bring a sweet addition to my caffeine fix. The blend of textures and flavor is like a small treasure for my taste buds.

Mornings at Bench are great, especially with a view of the city waking up. The sunlight softly filters through, making the place warm and cheerful. The interior has a tidy and modern feel, which suits the no-fuss vibe of the cafe. With seating options both inside and out, you can choose how to enjoy your time. With shoes off, I sometimes let the day drift by while basking outside.

One reason I love the spot is its friendly bunch of regulars. There's this sense of community that makes you feel at ease. Many folks pop by for takeaway but end up lingering for chats. Not to mention, the cafe's welcoming to furry buddies. I often see dogs lounging while their humans sip coffee and catch up. Now, that's my kind of place.

Located in the heart of Perth, there's no shortage of things around Bench. Just a hop and a skip away is the Perth Mint. A visit there offers a peek into the history of gold in the region. Elizabeth Quay is not too far either. It's a charming spot to wander along the waterfront. Adding to this, the State Buildings area is a stone's throw from Bench. It's a great blend of heritage and modern perks.

Each visit, I find new bits of Perth's essence depth that only the locals show you. With its central spot and a slew of transport links, getting around is no hassle. Good news if you're up for exploring Perth without dealing with parking woes.

Workdays they open doors early, handy for grabbing caffeine before the city stirs. They close on weekends, which at first feels odd but makes sense. The energy here during weekdays is unmatched. People rely on Bench for their daily energy boost. From corporate folks to college students, this cafe fuels the routines of many. The hours suit my need for early morning buzz and post-lunch breathe-easy moments.

Bench stands out with its stance on accessibility. They have a wheelchair-friendly entrance and space, which feels inclusive and thoughtful. Clean restrooms, a plus point, are available for those who linger longer. And, you're able to grab something on the go with their options for takeaway.

Ordering delivery or dining in makes no difference; quality remains steady. Whether I enjoy my cup in their lively space or back at my desk, every sip reminds me why Bench is top-notch. Their service is polite and quick. It makes each visit as smooth as the coffee they brew.

Every time I visit, I leave with more than just coffee. I get a dose of Perth's vibrant pulse. Bench Espresso easily becomes a staple for coffee lovers and laid-back hangouts. A hidden gem in Perth's bustling core, offering the perfect place to enjoy life's simple pleasures.
