Beaches... and cafes.....!
I was lucky enough to have a quick coffee with a friend yesterday in my favourite Cottesloe cafe. The thing about Beaches Cafe is that driving by you might not even give it a second look, but if you take the time to stop you'll find that it's a gem of a spot. For starters it's right across the road from one of the best beaches in Perth (show you tomorrow) and check out that menu..good stuff!
It's definitely not 'posh' but it certainly is trendy. Pet friendly with bowls of water placed around the outside area, it's popular with locals who walk or ride their bikes, and visitors alike..did I mention that the coffee is delicious, most important..I was just sorry that I didn't have time for a second cup.. I hope that you're keeping warm over there in the Northern Hemisphere, keep the thought that spring is on it's way. Happy Thursday, take care. P.s. when we win (positive thinking) the lotto, we're definitely moving to Cottesloe, hah!

I cannot relate to beach weather sitting here in a cold dark snowy winter- but wish I was with you there Grace! Lovely post. thanks for the Northern Spirit comments too (you were actually reading Sid from Sheffield's gritty posts I think ;-)
ReplyDeleteBeaches, cafes AND nice warm temperatures. I am ready for a change and what you share looks perfect!
ReplyDeleteGood morning from the beach and coffee
ReplyDeleteA hug.
Why hasn't anyone invented instant teleporting yet? I'd *love* to be there right now - such atmosphere in your captures! Here we have a cold front moving in, brrr. (PS So true, despite its history, the battlefield is a beautiful spot now! Savvy bride that was:)
ReplyDeleteLooks and sounds like my kind of place!! I, too, wish I was there right NOW!! Your photos are the next best thing!! Hope your week is going well, Grace!! Enjoy!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'll join you! :-)
ReplyDeleteIt was -21˚C here this morning so it was wonderful to see your summery shots - people actually wearing shorts and not multiple layers of clothing!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big menu, plenty to choose from and hand written which is rare these days.
ReplyDeleteLove the blackboard menu.
ReplyDeleteMy head would be spinning looking at that vast menu. If it has good coffee, a great beach view and it's pet friendly then it's for me!
ReplyDeleteI am so looking forward to our summer! Nasty, cold days here!
ReplyDeleteWhen I win the lottery, I will come visit you during our winter. The cafe looks like it is one that I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteAh, you have a subtle visual message: not Beaches but Aches.
ReplyDeleteIt's bloody cold up here, if you must know.
Looks like a great place to grab a bite.
ReplyDeleteMeet ya there! (in my dreams :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Aloha to YOU

Look at all of those portrait opportunities missed! You could have walked up to the barista or to any of the girls at that table. Courage, Grace, courage.
ReplyDeleteWhen I win the lottery, I will come for a visit and will travel first class. I flew in coach in 2003 from New York to Sydney and it was about as uncomfortable as I can remember.
Wow! How can you ever decide what to eat off the menu - it's HUGE!!! You better hope like hell it never becomes 'trendy' or you won't be able to get anywhere near it!!
ReplyDeleteA lottery win would be good Grace but looks like you're living the dream without it. Cheers J.
ReplyDeleteI've never been a fan of posh, so this sounds perfect to me! Especially with the great coffee.
ReplyDeleteIt is rather difficult to watch sunny beach pictures. We both live in different worlds at the moment. But you're right, our time will come once... Enjoy your beautiful warm moments!
ReplyDeleteIt's -20c here... those cafes in the sunshine look pretty inviting. :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks like my kind of place. I'm sure I'd enjoy a stop here too!
ReplyDeleteit would take me an entire Venti latte to read that menu .. it continues to be frigid here ... thank the blog goddess i know you will always have a warm photo to share
ReplyDeleteA great tip if I ever get to Perth! :-)
ReplyDeleteI do miss summer just a bit reading this.
ReplyDeleteIt looks just like the kind of cafe I'd be spending time in!
ReplyDeleteThe fresh sea food and exquisite wine available in Perth draws food lover’s .This is really amazing place to live.
