Globe Coffee House Southern River Square

I've visited quite a few coffee shops in Perth, but Globe Coffee House at Southern River Square stands out in its own way. Tucked away in the Southern River Square Shopping Centre, it's not far off the main roads, so getting there is easy. They open early every day from 7 am to 3 pm, perfect for catching a morning coffee fix or a relaxed weekend brunch.

The inside is simple but welcoming. It's got this cozy vibe, not too fancy, just like a neighborhood spot should be. There's plenty of seating, and they've ensured it's wheelchair-friendly, which is a big plus. I love their outdoor setup too, especially when the weather's nice. And yes, dogs are allowed! It's always cute seeing pups lounging beside their owners as they sip their brew.

Their coffee is pretty good—smooth and flavorful without being too strong. It's what keeps me coming back. They also do takeaway if you're on the run, which is handy if you're headed to the nearby parks or if you've got errands in the center. The food menu isn't vast, but it covers the basics well enough. They have your classic Aussie breakfast items and a few lunch options. I've tried the avo toast a couple of times, and it's always fresh and satisfying.

Service here is laid back, sometimes reflecting the pace of the place. It's generally friendly, but don't come here expecting things to be lightning quick, especially during busy times. I mean, what's the rush when you're here to chill, right? It's not a big chain where everything moves like clockwork, but that adds to its charm.

What's nice about this location is that after your coffee, you can easily walk around the Southern River Square Shopping Centre. There are a few shops to check out, like a pharmacy for picking up a few essentials or a bakery if you're in the mood for something sweet to take home. Plus, having the supermarket nearby makes it easy to tackle your weekly shop after catching up over a latte.

I've noticed that they keep things pretty clean, especially the bathrooms—they're gender-neutral, by the way. It's small touches like these that make the Globe Coffee House feel like it's part of the community, rather than just another place to grab a drink.

Parking's never really an issue with their accessible car park. You won't have to drive around in circles to find a spot, even on the weekends. And since you're already in the area, why not explore a bit? There's a nice little play area for kids nearby, so if you've got family in tow, they can burn off some energy after breakfast.

In terms of the crowd, you're going to see a mix of locals, young families, and even a few solo patrons working on their laptops. It's got that laid-back southern vibe you tend to expect in this part of Perth. That being said, the place could amp up a bit on diversity in the menu or even add special events to draw more folks in. A live music evening or special roasts of the month would definitely shake things up a bit.

Their website is pretty straightforward. You'll find the usual info like their hours, phone number, and address. If you're planning a visit, maybe call ahead to see if they're less crowded—it might be worth it unless you enjoy people watching while you sip your coffee.

Overall, Globe Coffee House is a solid choice if you're around Southern River. It's not going to blow your mind with groundbreaking taste sensations or jaw-dropping interiors, but it delivers where it matters. A reliable drop-in for a caffeine hit, a cozy chat with friends, or just a moment to yourself. If you're in the area, why not pop in and give it a go? You might find yourself making it a regular stop.
