So this is my first post. welcome.
I visited four cafes today. All (obviously) in Perth.

First one was Elixir Coffee Specialists. Possibly my new favourite cafe. the few cofffees I've had from there have been VERY pleasant. Got two flat whites take away. Were both nice. I appreciate coffee that is the right strength and doesn't have the bitter aftertaste that a lot of coffees tend to have. so, good experience there. also reasonably priced. the food they have there is really nice. I've had an orange and carrot muffin/ cake thing from there. VERY moist and nice :)

Next ones were from Ditto Cafe in Applecross. Don't have a website for it. but the Scottish lady who served me was so nice!! the service was fast, much the same price as Elixir (2 coffees for about $8.50). they use Fiori coffee beans which i usually appreciate, however the coffee did have that bitter aftertaste i don't enjoy. boo. but i will go back there because the coffee wasn't terrible and word has it you can get a full breakfast and a coffee for $15 there. so that's breakfast with the parents on Saturday :))

My Flat White. rather enjoyable.

Third stop was an old favourite: Soto Espresso. There used to be an AWESOME barista there with these huge nerd-type glasses who was rather friendly and i loved going there just to chat with him coz he was soooo personable. however, clearly there is new staff there now. i did appreciate that the Irish manger came and had a chat to me and my mate when she brought out our coffees. i was impressed with their coffee art on both of our coffees. here are some pics.

Chris's medium macchiato... was DISGUSTING. well... pretty average. very bitter aftertaste.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Final Stop was at Greens & Co. in Leederville. GREAT company (well, i think so lol). had a short mac, VERY NICE. my friend has taught me to put a sugar in it... so i did. now i shall interrupt this post to say i am NOT a fan of putting sugar in my coffee. AT ALL. however, it is rather pleasant to have a short mac with some sugar in it :) i enjoyed it. no bitterness. which was rad.

Now my dad is making coffee at home. I am looking forward to it. not as good quality as elixir, but he's getting better.

Thanks for your time peeps. more updates soon.
