Sesa Cafe

I've become pretty familiar with the coffee scene around Perth, and Sesa Cafe is one of those spots that keeps drawing me back. It's in Subiaco, just a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle but with a laid-back vibe that's easy to love. The little nook has a charm that regulars like me appreciate. You can grab a takeaway coffee or chill at one of the tables inside, or outside if it's a good day.

The first thing I noticed was how friendly the staff is. They always seem genuinely happy to see each customer. It makes the cafe atmosphere feel warm and welcoming. There's nothing worse than a grumpy barista when you're craving a caffeine fix in the morning.

The menu is solid without trying too hard. They do the classics really well, no need to get too fancy. The coffee is spot on, just the right blend of smooth and strong. I tend to stick to a good flat white, but they also whip up a mean iced coffee which is perfect on hotter days. For bites, their pastries are fresh and delightful—always a good match with a hot drink. Sometimes I grab a muffin or a slice of banana bread; it hits the spot, especially if you've skipped breakfast.

What's cool about Sesa Cafe is its simplicity and approachability. The place caters well for everyone, even your four-legged friends. Yep, dogs are allowed, so you might share your table with a couple of cute pooches. It's also got a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance, making it incredibly inclusive.

The location is on Bagot Road, pretty convenient if you're running errands around Subiaco. After grabbing a coffee, you can easily hop over to some nearby local spots. If you've got time, check out the art at the nearby galleries or hit up the beauty salons if you need some pampering. There's also a lush green park not far from the cafe, an ideal stop if you've brought your dog along.

Subiaco itself is a bit of a gem. It's a vibrant area with plenty going on, from shopping to unique dining experiences. This makes Sesa Cafe a strategic location for starting your day. If you're a shopper, there are boutiques and stores with something for everyone. Whether looking for high-end fashion or quirky local gifts, Subiaco covers it.

Public transport is also a win here. If you don't drive, the public bus and train services are easy to navigate. The train station isn't far from the cafe, making it a breeze to hop over from other parts of Perth.

The operation hours at Sesa Cafe suit early birds. They open their doors just in time for morning commuters, which is perfect for a pre-work coffee stop. Yet if you're more of a lazy Saturday type, make sure to plan your morning visit since they wrap up by early afternoon. Sundays are a rest day for them, so plan accordingly if you were thinking of a weekend visit.

Don't bother looking for a website; there isn't one, but honestly, who needs it? The real charm of Sesa Cafe is all experienced firsthand. If you're planning on swinging by, a quick phone call can clarify any queries. It's the kind of place where it's best to stop in and take in the vibe yourself.

I find myself recommending Sesa Cafe to all sorts of folks—travelers, locals, anyone who wants to catch a good brew and soak in a bit of relaxed Subiaco life. It might not appear on tourist maps, but it's those out-of-the-way places that often surprise you the most. Whether it's a quick caffeine hit or a leisurely catch-up with mates, it gets the job done without breaking a sweat. It's a laid-back spot where you can simply be yourself, and isn't that what cafes should be about?
