Community Coffee

Community Coffee sits snugly on Mercantile Lane in Perth. Open only on weekdays, which can be a bit of a bummer if you're looking for a weekend fix. My first stop here happened on a Monday morning—the start of my week. The place wasn't bustling, letting me ease into my day without any rush.

Their coffee is top-notch, always consistent in flavor and strength. I usually go for a flat white, and it's easily one of the best I've had. The aroma alone can wake me up, even before taking a sip. They know how to brew a cup that tastes both robust and smooth.

The location itself is pretty convenient if you're already in the city. It's nestled close to a few office complexes, making it a popular stop for professionals around. Despite its central spot, it never feels too crowded. There's room to breathe, or just to think over a newspaper.

The vibe is laid back—perfect for early morning contemplation. They've got both indoor and outdoor seating, so you can choose your view. I like sitting outside if the weather's nice. Bonus: it's dog-friendly, so if you've got a pupper, bring 'em along.

Now, if you get hungry, they've got simple but tasty bites. Their sandwiches hit the spot every time, fresh and filling. It's straightforward fare that doesn't try to be flashy. It's the kind of food you can eat while having a bit of a chat.

The team here is friendly, always up for a hello or a quick chat about what's good today. They're attentive without hovering, which is always appreciated. You won't find any snobbery here, just folks who love good coffee and good company.

Heading down the block, you'll run into a few more interesting spots. The city center is not too far, offering everything from bustling markets to quaint bookshops. Once you're caffeinated, you could easily spend the day strolling around the area.

Nearby, there's a lovely park if you're up for a walk. It's a nice retreat for some fresh air, especially if you've been in meetings all day. It's one of those places where you can lose track of time, in a good way.

Public transit is solid in this part of town, so getting there and around is hassle-free. Even if you're not a regular in this area, you can hop on a bus or train and land nearby. If you've got wheels, parking in the area usually isn't a problem.

For those who work in creative spaces, this might just become your go-to break spot. It's a good place to jot down ideas or even catch up on reading, with little distraction. I find that my best ideas come to life over a warm cup here.

If you're planning to make this your go-to coffee joint, you won't be alone. This place has a tight-knit community feel without outsiders feeling unwelcome. It's a local gem that stays true to its name, fostering a sense of community through conversation and caffeine.

During my visits, I've seen a fair mix of people: students, workers, tourists. Everyone seems to blend seamlessly, united by coffee. It's this sense of togetherness that keeps me coming back. You can bet I'll be popping in whenever I'm in the area.

Community Coffee might not be open on weekends, but it's a worthy stop any weekday. Take a moment to start your weekday right here. You'll leave caffeinated, satisfied, and maybe with a new friend or two.
