Write a ReviewI find myself at Caffissimo in West Perth pretty often. They roast their coffee locally, and it always hits the spot. The aroma lures you in the moment you step inside. The place is not huge, but it feels cozy and welcoming. There's seating both inside and outside, which I love, because who doesn't like a bit of fresh air with their coffee?
Their hours are quite suited for the early risers. They open at 6:30 in the morning on weekdays, and it's perfect for my morning coffee fix. However, they're closed on weekends, which is a bit of a letdown if you're planning a leisurely Sunday visit.
I usually go for their flat white, and it's consistently good. The flavor is robust, and the milk is always just right, not too hot, which is a coffee crime. Their menu is pretty standard, with a selection of cakes and pastries that pair well with a cup of joe.
What I appreciate the most is how accessible the place is. There's parking that's simple to get to if you're driving. And the wheelchair-accessible entrances and seating are great for everyone. Plus, having dogs allowed is a nice touch. Seeing dogs every now and then makes the place feel homier.
The inside decor is nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. There are some quirky bits here and there, like colorful cups and interesting wall art. The vibe is laid back and perfect for hanging out or getting some reading done.
Their service is quick, which is crucial in the morning when everyone's trying to grab a cup before work. The staff is friendly and knows their stuff, so don't hesitate to ask for recommendations if you're unsure what to order.
Now, if you're coming to West Perth, there's more to do than just grab a coffee. Kings Park is not too far away, and it's a great spot for a walk or to simply enjoy nature. The views of the city from there are breathtaking. The park's perfect for an afternoon stretch after a coffee-filled morning.
If you're in a mood for some art, the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts is also nearby. They have intriguing showcases that switch up from time to time. It's a great place to explore different forms of art and maybe find some inspiration.
On the food side of things in West Perth, there's a mix of cuisines you can try. There's everything from hearty Italian to fresh Japanese. If you're sticking around after your Caffissimo visit, you won't be disappointed with the food options.
The average rating for Caffissimo is about 3.6, which feels right to me. It's consistent but not groundbreaking. It hits the mark for good coffee, service, and a chill environment. This isn't the place for a gourmet coffee experience, but for regular folks who need their caffeine fix, it suits me just fine.
A thing to keep in mind is that they don't offer Wi-Fi. That might be a downside if you're keen on working from a cafe. But honestly, sometimes it's nice to just disconnect and relax with a good drink and some real conversation.
Being a chain, some say it lacks character compared to smaller, independent coffee houses. But personally, I find comfort in its reliability. It's the sort of place where you know what you're going to get, and that's sometimes exactly what you need.
In summary, Caffissimo nails the basics while adding a few perks like dog-friendly seating and easy access. If you're in the West Perth area, it's worth a visit for a straightforward coffee and some friendly chat. Grab a cup, maybe a slice of cake, and then explore everything this vibrant area has to offer.
