Urban Grind on Royal

I've been to a lot of coffee shops around Perth, and Urban Grind on Royal in Tuart Hill is one of those spots I keep coming back to. It feels like a little gem tucked away on Royal Street, making it a perfect spot for a chill break from the everyday hustle. With a 4.5-star rating and nearly 200 reviews, this place seems to win people over.

Walking in, the vibe gets you relaxed right away. There's something cozy about the place, maybe it's the way the seating is arranged or just the feel of the air. The shop is big on accessibility, which is refreshing. There are wheelchair-accessible parking spots, entrances, seating, and even a toilet. It's a place where everyone can feel comfortable. That's something many places lack, so kudos to them for being inclusive.

The menu offers both dine-in and takeaway options, plus they do delivery, which is super convenient. They've got a nice outdoor seating area too, and if you're a dog owner, you'll be happy to know dogs are allowed. It's always nice to see regulars bring in their furry friends.

I once came here on a Friday morning, and it was like the place came alive with chatter and the smell of freshly brewed coffee. They open early, 6 am, and close at 2 pm most days, except they knock off early on Saturday and close on Sundays. The timing is perfect for morning coffee runs or a midday pick-me-up.

The coffee itself is quite remarkable, never too bitter, nor too watery. The baristas seem to know their stuff, always serving with a smile. While I haven't tried everything yet, the flat white here is a strong go-to for me, and others around me seem to love the cappuccinos.

Royal Street in Tuart Hill isn't just about this café. If you step out and explore, there are plenty of other things to check out. There's a local op shop nearby, where you can find some quirky outfits or interesting books. It's a fun little detour if you're into treasure hunting through pre-loved items.

A short drive or a brisk walk down the road takes you to Grenville Reserve. It's a nice green patch to unwind, let the kids run around, or have a peaceful walk. Perfect place to head after picking up a coffee.

If you're a bit more into food, there are some handy spots around too. The nearby bakery does some decent pastries if you ever fancy something sweet to go with your coffee. You might also find yourself craving something savory, and the sandwich place just down the road is worth a try.

To be honest, Urban Grind isn't flashy or trying too hard. It's a laid-back place where you're welcomed by a buzz of activity and warmth. With today's fast-paced life, it's nice to have a corner where things slow down a bit, and this café delivers just that vibe.

It's the kind of spot where you can easily hang out by yourself or meet up with a friend for a casual chat. People often come in with a book or pop open their laptops, taking advantage of the tranquil atmosphere to get things done.

Even though they don't have a website, their Facebook page keeps you up to date on any changes to hours or any cool events they might host. The community here feels tight, which is probably why so many people love coming back.

So whether you're a stranger to Tuart Hill or a regular, give Urban Grind a shot. There's an honest charm about this café that's really hard to beat. If you happen to be visiting on a weekday, it's quieter, perfect for enjoying some undisturbed time. And on Saturdays, you can start your day right with good coffee and all the calmness this place offers.

If you're in the area, plan a stop at Urban Grind on Royal. You'll find yourself in good company, sipping good coffee, in a place that values comfort and community.
