Esperanca cafe

Esperanca Cafe is a spot I keep coming back to in Scarborough. Tucked away on St Brigids Terrace, this place is a gem. Coffee shops are my thing, and I've been to a good few around Perth; this one stands out.

First off, the coffee is top-notch, every single time. It's got this strong, rich taste that wakes you up and makes your morning that much better. They don't mess around with those blends. And if you're into more than just coffee, their brunch menu is pretty solid. The menu isn't overwhelming, but it covers all the good stuff. You can bet their avo toast hits the spot every single time.

What's great about Esperanca is the vibe it has. It's chill, not overly flashy, just comfortable. They have some outdoor seating which is perfect on a sunny day. Scarborough gets some awesome weather, so grabbing a spot outside makes my coffee run feel extra nice. It's also a dog-friendly place, and that's a win for anyone who likes bringing their furry pal along. I see dogs lounging around as their owners sip coffee. Adds to the laid-back vibe.

Accessibility is a strong point here. They've got a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance. Plus, the layout inside and outside doesn't cram people, so you can appreciate a bit of space. This makes it easier for everyone to settle in and enjoy some downtime.

The area around Esperanca Cafe is worth mentioning as well. Scarborough Beach is a short drive away, great for a walk after your coffee. Beach vibes and good coffee? Yes, please. There's also the Scarborough Amphitheatre if you're in the mood for some local events, especially during summer evenings. The area just has a cool coastal feel, relaxed but never dull.

Back to the cafe, the service is always spot on. Everyone there is friendly and knows how to make you feel welcome without being over the top. They seem to remember regulars, which is a sweet touch if you're a frequent visitor like myself.

One thing to note, Esperanca opens early, which is a lifesaver on weekdays when you need that caffeine fix before work. I've also tried their takeout a couple of times—smooth service, no hitches. They do delivery if you prefer your brew brought to your door, especially handy when you don't want to step out.

On Thursdays and Fridays, they extend hours in the evening, which is cool if you need a pick-me-up after dinner or crave a coffee-fueled study session. It's a quieter time to grab a cup and unwind as the day winds down. Less rush, more peace.

If you're into supporting local businesses, this is a no-brainer. Esperanca has that local, community feel that big chains just can't match. Their popularity seems to reflect this too. With 34 reviews and a 4.9 average rating, people are catching on to what makes this cafe special.

I've noticed the place is always tidy. Tables are clean and the staff is on top of things. A lot of cafes sometimes let that slide during rush hours, but not here. Hygienic practices seem a priority which actually makes me appreciate the spot even more.

If you're into exploring, just a bit further out, you'll find Lake Gwelup Reserve. It's a relaxed spot that's good for an afternoon stroll or a place to clear your head amidst nature. And let's not forget the fresh sea air from the Indian Ocean nearby. Scarborough truly offers a bit of everything, giving you more reasons to enjoy and explore.

In short, Esperanca Cafe is more than just a coffee stop. It's part of what makes Scarborough special. Whether you're grabbing an early morning coffee, enjoying a relaxed brunch, or just catching up with a mate over a latte, Esperanca delivers every time. And with its prime location, you can't go wrong spending some time here before or after exploring what Scarborough has to offer.
