Pobbles Cafe

I find myself returning to Pobbles Cafe often. Located in Subiaco, it stands out in a city full of coffee spots. The cafe is situated right on Hay Street, making it convenient after running errands nearby. With its Instagram account boasting tempting shots, it's no wonder it's a popular place.

They open bright and early at 7 am, which is perfect for grabbing a coffee before work. The cafe shuts its doors at 2:30 pm every weekday, and it's closed on weekends. This might surprise folks who crave a lazy weekend brunch, but for a mid-week pick-me-up, Pobbles delivers.

Inside, the atmosphere feels warm and inviting. It's not big, but the space is well thought out. I appreciate that they have a wheelchair-accessible entrance and seating. Plus, they welcome dogs, adding to the friendly vibe. There's something nice about sipping coffee with a pup at your feet.

The menu offers both dine-in and takeaway options. This is handy for those who need to grab and go. For those who like to linger, there's a nice mix of brunch options that pairs well with my coffee. A well-made flat white or cappuccino always hits the spot for me here.

While the menu doesn't stretch pages, it covers the essentials with quality. I'm a sucker for their avocado toast. It's simple but made with fresh ingredients. Their pastries are also a solid choice. Sometimes, I pair a croissant with their house brew coffee, and it starts my day off right.

Now, if you're new to Subiaco or just visiting, there's plenty to do around Pobbles. Subiaco is known for its mix of shops, from cool boutiques to the Subiaco Market, you name it. It's fun to explore and find unique things. After grabbing coffee, I often wander around the shops. There's always something that catches my eye.

Another nearby gem is the Subiaco Arts Centre. Often, there's an interesting show or exhibit happening. I've found that catching a matinee after a good cup of coffee is a treat. Kings Park is also not too far away. It's one of those perfect places to take a stroll, especially when the sun is shining.

Public transport here is convenient too. Pobbles is just a short walk from the Subiaco train station. Buses run frequently through Hay Street, making getting around easy for those without a car. Parking can be a bit of a hassle, though. It's limited, so taking public transport might be best.

Pobbles Cafe has an impressive average rating of 4.8 stars. I'm not surprised by their near-perfect score. The baristas know what they're doing, and they're always friendly. The service consistently leaves a good impression on everyone I've chatted with.

I also appreciate that the cafe occasionally updates its offerings. Seasonal coffees or pastries make repeat visits interesting. Watching them tweak their menu shows they keep things fresh for regulars and newcomers alike.

Their Instagram page provides updates which is nice if you're a fan of trying their new items. I once went because their story highlighted a special limited-time cake. It turned out to be as delicious as it looked online!

On a sunny day, sitting outside with a book and coffee in hand is one of my favorite pastimes at Pobbles. The bustle of Hay Street offers a good balance of liveliness and relaxation. Watching people go by offers its charm.

For anyone around Subiaco looking for a no-fuss coffee spot, Pobbles is a must-visit. It's a cozy spot with just the right amount of buzz. Now, if only they'd open on weekends, it'd be perfect. For those who work nearby, though, it remains a daily retreat.

In short, Pobbles Cafe blends what you'd expect from a neighborhood gem. Friendly faces, a solid cup of coffee, and a neat location make it stand out. Regulars like me will keep returning, and I'm sure newcomers will quickly feel at home.
