Black Honey

Black Honey is a little gem in the Perth coffee scene. Tucked away on Murray Street, it's a spot I found myself coming back to often. Regular visits from 5:30 am to 2 pm most weekdays make it a staple for early risers and workers wanting a quick coffee fix. Location-wise, it's perfect. Just the right spot to hit before a shopping spree or work.

The coffee here is top-notch. I'm picky about my brews, and Black Honey hits the spot every time. The flavors are rich, and they know how to make a proper flat white. The baristas seem to know their stuff, and they keep the quality consistent. The shop's rating of 4.9 stars from over 200 reviews gives you a heads-up about what to expect. It's not hype; they deliver.

What really makes Black Honey stand out is its laid-back vibe. None of that pretentious cafe stuff here. The place doesn't try too hard and just gets it right. You feel welcome as soon as you step in. The wheelchair-accessible entrance and toilets show they thought of those small yet important details.

The menu offers a solid brunch selection. Nothing mind-blowing but it's done well. Eggs, toast, the kind of stuff you want with your coffee on a lazy morning. Everything I've tried tasted fresh. If you're around during lunch, their takeaway options make it easy to grab and go.

Wi-Fi is available, which is a lifesaver if you're trying to catch up on emails or just want to browse the internet while enjoying your cup. The setup makes it a chill spot to hang out for a bit. If you're into dog-friendly places, Black Honey has you covered. You'll occasionally spot regulars with their four-legged pals, adding to the laid-back feel.

For those of you into shopping or exploring the city, Black Honey is positioned well within reach of various spots. The Perth CBD is right there, with shops popping up around the corner. Murray Street Mall is just a short walk away, where you can find retail stores and small boutiques. Forrest Chase is nearby too, offering a blend of high-street brands and local favorites. It's a hub of activity, so grabbing a coffee before diving into the hustle makes sense.

Public transport access around Black Honey is solid. Perth Train Station is within walking distance, so commuting in and out isn't a hassle. The area is bustling during the week, but weekends are quieter since they're closed. If you work nearby, it's a no-brainer for a quick pick-me-up.

As someone who strolls through Perth often, Black Honey remains a favorite. The balance they strike between quality service and good coffee is rare. With the friendly atmosphere, it's easy to become a regular. The staff remember faces and orders, which gives you that small-touch feel even in the city hustle.

The Perth cultural scene isn't far off either. Art lovers can hop over to the Art Gallery of Western Australia post-coffee. It's a short distance, adding a creative flair to a day out. The Perth Cultural Centre is a hotspot for exhibitions and events, and it's nice having a reliable coffee stop like Black Honey when you're in the area.

On the days that you need to unwind, the nearby parks and green spaces offer a quick escape. Stirling Gardens and Supreme Court Gardens aren't too far. It's refreshing to sip on a coffee while strolling through Perth's greenery. Black Honey gives you just enough caffeine to pep up your walk!

In a bustling city like Perth, Black Honey is a slice of calm. Whether I'm rushing for a morning espresso or lounging with a late breakfast, it suits both moods. The friendly dogs and approachable baristas make it easy to enjoy each visit. There are plenty of cafes around, but this one keeps things simple, and sometimes that's all you need. Everything about it—from the aroma of freshly ground beans to the clinking of cups—makes it a go-to for coffee lovers like me.
