Dee's Cafe Lounge

I've been to quite a few coffee spots in Perth, and Dee's Cafe Lounge in Wangara is a gem in the sometimes bustling area. Nestled on Dellamarta Road, this place is my go-to when I'm in the neighborhood. It's not the easiest spot to miss, but it sure is worth the find.

First off, there's plenty of parking, which is surprising these days. Yes, it's wheelchair accessible, too. So if you've got mobility concerns, no worries here. The seating arrangement works for everyone, indoors and outdoors. Take your pick depending on the mood or the weather.

The moment you step in, you notice the vibe is laid back. It's easy and unpretentious, not unlike many places in the area. The staff? They're friendly, not in-your-face kind of friendly, just chill. You feel like they know their regulars, and who doesn't love a personal touch like that?

Food and coffee here nail it every single time. Forget the frills and frou-frou drinks; they're not trying to compete with some posh high-end cafe. It's honest food and coffee. Simple, strong, just the way coffee should taste. And yes, they totally nailed it with their flat whites.

Now let's talk about their menu. It's not overwhelming but has enough variety to keep things interesting. Their breakfast options? Solid. Plenty of choices for lunch, too. The classic sandwiches and wraps are perfect if you're grabbing something on the go. Ever tried their pastries? They're as fresh and delectable as they get.

Best part? They're priced sensibly. You won't break the bank here, which is rare these days. If you're not rushing, park yourself for a meal, and if you've got your furry friend in tow, it's all good. Dogs are welcome outside, and honestly, that's a big win in my books.

Looking around, you'll find some local spots worth visiting too. Fancy picking up some gear or just curious? There's the Wangara Markets nearby. Perfect place to stroll around after your coffee kick. This locale is known for its mix of industrial and retail spaces, so you can do quick errands between sips of your espresso.

Service is another strong suit that should be mentioned. The staff work like a well-oiled machine. They're accommodating but efficient, which is just what you need if you're popping by during a workday. And they've got seamless no-contact delivery too, should you want to enjoy a cup at home.

The fonts of Wi-Fi make it a good spot if you've got some work to do or just want to surf online. No one's giving side-eye if you sit alone with your laptop, that's for sure.

Timing can be tricky because they do close early on weekdays and aren't open on weekends. But if you can sneak in a visit during their hours, it's golden. Just be mindful of the time, especially on Mondays when their hours stretch a little.

So, what happens on Fridays and weekends? Well, with their doors closed, you might want to plan ahead. But Wangara isn't just cafes; there's a world of auto shops, furniture outlets, and garden centers around. It's practical but still exciting to explore.

In summary, Dee's Cafe Lounge is a solid stop for anyone in Wangara. Whether you're there for a quick coffee, a leisurely lunch, or just escaping the daily grind, this spot has you covered. It's the kind of place that makes you want to keep coming back, not just for the coffee but for the familiar faces and the welcoming vibe that puts you at ease.
