Outram and Hay (one back). We tried this bohemian cafe in Leederville we had hear about Oxford 130, I have never been treated so poorly in all my life...just rude service like she was doing me a favour by existing. Coffee was bitter and burnt. The inside looked like is hadn't been cleaned in 10 years...looking forward to getting back to Melbourne Best coffee in West Perth is Epic. Outram and Hay (one back).

When my team were at Core, in my opinion our coffee was very much above average, since myself and my team leaving i've heard not so positive reports. Anyway we would welcome you into Epic, we're opening on Friday and have put a lot of time, resources and energy into quality coffee. We look forward to you dropping in, please introduce yourself.

Every think is there for Great coffee so will give it some more time (say 3 months). Some ratings (ramblings).... SEPTEMBER 06 Would include VANS in Cott for Essenza roast - IMO VANs does Essenza best in Perth better than MT Lawley/ Nth Perth locations. Will depend on Barista out of 6 recent visits 2 were average but 4 very good. Hubbles Yard on George St East Freo is worth a visit - New place bedding down but hell bent on high consistant standards. Linea and 5 Senses and good attitude :) Boucla on Rockeby Road does Fiori roast really well and has a great vibe - like this place A LOT. 8oz porcelain cups too (gets an extra point in my book). Lemon in Claremont takes the cake - great 5 Senses raost and made really really well - excellent consistancy between Baristas. Great hot choc + mochas too! Espresso produces a real welcoming ZING after a few minutes - start your day there! Fix - Outram St West Perth - Nice, like Lemon - a cut above. Some Robusta in their roast blend is a good point of difference. Good team and gr8 service/ approach/ attitude :) SImilar Zing to Lemon too. Epic Espresso - ****Highly anticipated**** Soto - Up and down milk quality see-saws and overall highly "Barista dependant". Some Barista's there will put out average coffee to keep the queue moving - a big no no. As this is a local my hope is that they will invest in higher standards, equipment and quality focus. Especially on the milk. I get burnt milk here - I wached the barista leave the jug by its self on the ledge whirlpooling away for way too long - no attention and poor technique a big no no. When I see this stuff I just want to run out after ordering... I don't want that coffee that's coming!!! Any way, I have good examples for this place too - jus watch out!!!! Any cafe owners or Barista reading this - I will wait for good coffee, a bad (too hot/ burnt/ weak/ astringent or sour/ bizzare recipie) really disappoints. Oxford St - I am tired of O.S. for years it has had places that just make coffee - I don't see any business there taking it up a level. And though coffee is consistantly good and acceptable, with guys like Lemon, FIX and Epic (to be expected) taking it up a notch "good" has become average.

I walked up and checked out your location during my lunch break last week and now I'm looking forward to the opening. I'll definitely introduce myself when I come in. Good luck in your preparations, Nat It sounds great, Corey. I walked up and checked out your location during my lunch break last week and now I’m looking forward to the opening.

We are aware of the lack of great coffee in West Perth, that's actually why we made the choice to move into the area. If you enjoy quality coffee then you are going to love what we do. We are going to be profiling single origin coffee beans each month as well as our custom blend. We will be preparing our hot chocolates using real belgian chocolate. We have hand made sweet foods, high quality muffins and a gourmet range of paninis created by a very successful local chef. We are even introducing a new tea percolation method for our loose leaf teas that hasn't been used in Perth before. We have sourced the finest of everything, our cups are Italian made and we are the first store in Perth to import and use Synesso coffee machines (the best in the world). Sorry, this wasn't meant to be a promo for our new store I just got started typing and my excitment about this project took over :) Oh Well, we'd love to see you in the store when we open Nat, please drop in and introduce yourself to us.

What end of Outram Street will you be in - or what would the closest cross road be?
