Murray Mews

Murray Mews, tucked away on Murray Street in the heart of Perth, is a gem of a coffee shop. As someone who frequents various coffee spots around town, I find this place a mix of charm and convenience. The shop is conveniently situated, just a short walk from the bustling Hay Street Mall where you can dive into some retail therapy. It's also near the Perth Mint, an excellent spot for a casual afternoon learning about gold and history.

First off, the coffee at Murray Mews is impressive. With an average rating of 4.6 from 249 reviews, they know how to brew a good cup. Whether you're grabbing a flat white on the go or sitting down for a leisurely cappuccino, the quality is consistent. There's something comforting about knowing your coffee will hit the mark each time.

Fueling up before a workday is easy thanks to their early opening hours. They open at 6:30 am on weekdays, a blessing for us early risers. However, on weekends, the opening hours shift a bit. Saturday sees them open until midnight, perfect for a late-night caffeine fix while exploring Perth's nightlife. On Sundays, they're closed, which is a shame but gives the staff a deserved rest.

Accessibility is a standout feature here. The coffee shop is wheelchair-friendly, with easy entrances, seating, and restrooms. This attention to detail makes it a welcoming space for everyone. You can see a commitment to inclusiveness in every aspect of their service. Plus, they've got delivery options, so even if you can't make it down, Murray Mews has you covered.

Outdoor seating is available, and on a sunny Perth day, it's the prime spot to enjoy your drink. Dogs are allowed too, so if you like to sip your latte while Fluffy gets some fresh air, this is your go-to place. It's those little touches that make a good coffee experience a great one.

Their menu doesn't just stick to the basics. Whether you're in the mood for hearty breakfast options or a light lunchtime bite, they've got it. The on-site service is quick, but there's also takeaway if you're in a rush. Proximity to offices in the city center makes it an ideal spot for a quick, quality coffee during a busy workday.

The evening vibe at Murray Mews is unique. On Fridays, they stay open until midnight, making it a great place to unwind and chat with friends. Grab a coffee and maybe a dessert, and enjoy the lively atmosphere. The extended hours on Wednesday and Thursday nights until 8 pm also allow for a more leisurely visit mid-week.

Nearby, there's plenty to do and see. Art lovers will love the Art Gallery of Western Australia, just a stone's throw away. If you're more into nature, head over to Kings Park. It's one of the largest inner-city parks in the world and offers stunning views of the Perth skyline. After a stroll, pop back to Murray Mews for a refreshing drink.

One thing you can't miss is the relaxed environment they cultivate. Regulars like myself appreciate the friendly service. It's the kind of place where the barista knows your name by your third visit. This warmth keeps people coming back.

If you're meeting friends, Murray Mews is ideal. Its central location means it's easy to get to, whether you're driving or using public transport. Parking can be tricky in the city, but there's a nearby parking lot that also offers wheelchair-accessible spots.

The ambiance inside is casual and laid-back, with a charm that makes it easy to settle in with a good book or great company. There's no rush, which is refreshing amidst the city rush. It has just the right amount of buzz to feel lively but not overwhelming.

In a city like Perth, where coffee spots are plentiful, Murray Mews finds and secures its place by offering more than just good coffee. It's the whole package—friendly service, ideal location, and a welcoming atmosphere. If you appreciate these things, as I do, this might just become your new favorite spot. Once you find a place that feels like home, it's hard not to keep coming back. Whether you're out shopping, exploring local attractions, or just passing by, this coffee shop is worth the visit.
