The Grind Hay St

Strolling through Subiaco, I often find myself drawn back to The Grind on Hay Street. You know you're in good hands when a place stays true to the basics. The Grind makes a mean cup of coffee, no doubt about it. The first sip pulls you right in and sets the day on a brighter track. Whether you're in for a quick pick-me-up or have a moment to sit and savor, this spot's got you covered.

It's a Tuesday, just after 9 am, and I'm there finding my usual table outside. Thank heavens they've got outdoor seating. It's a spot to watch the world go by, Subi-style. Dogs tied to the tables add to the laid-back vibe. It's ace they allow dogs. After all, a dog-filled coffee run is better than one without.

Inside, the atmosphere is a blend of cozy and buzz. There's a chatter you can't quite tune out, but it's welcome and never too much. The Grind is perfect for morning people-watchers. Plus, each visit gives the chance to nod at regulars or meet a new fellow coffee lover. But let's talk about the coffee again real quick. It's always just right, no fuss, no frills. They stick to what they know, and they do it incredibly well.

The good-hearted crew at the counter knows how to sort out your caffeine fix. It's much appreciated when they remember your order. Quick with a grin and warm greeting, they make return visits a breeze. Their strengths also lie in a humble yet tasty brunch menu. It's nothing over the top, but just what you'd hope to find—a toastie here, a muffin there.

Beyond coffee, Hay Street is full of life. The neighborhood of Subiaco offers little surprises and gems at every corner. Stroll around, and you might find Kings Park not too far off, a great spot for a walk or relax. There's always buzzing energy at Market Square, too, if you need some green space close by.

Now, back to The Grind's hours. While they're mostly a morning and midday affair, they're reliable within those windows. I wouldn't want anyone swinging by on a weekend only to find a locked door. Mondays through Thursdays they're open from 7 am till 2 pm, which suits most workday breaks or lazy brunches.

Parking is straightforward, whether you prefer street or lot options close by. Subiaco isn't tricky to navigate, which makes dropping in easy-peasy. The convenience makes The Grind a favorite over competing spots. There's something genuine about a visit that just fits the rhythm of your day.

Consider takeaway if you're in a rush or on your way elsewhere. Their service is quick, not to mention the coffee travels well without losing its kick. Delivery is on the cards too, for those mornings when you simply can't find the motivation to step outside.

Getting back to their menu, consistency is king here. They won't offer fancy experimental mixes, but cling to well-loved choices. This old-school approach speaks volumes in an area buzzing with new trends. That's the kind of comfort I rely on from time to time.

In Subiaco, a morning like this isn't complete without exploring nearby local stores. Hay Street has these quiet spots that sneak up on you, from bookshops to fashion nooks. These discoveries make the area more than just a coffee destination but a lifestyle. Adventure feels crafted into these moments, shaping a day that started with something simple—like coffee on a weekday.

In short, The Grind on Hay Street stands out. If you're looking for simplicity paired with solid quality in your cup, this is it.
