I was curious about the cafe that was recommended by the amazing barista who works at a different cafe. And I found out why! Two friendly baristas helped me get the perfect pour-over coffee I was looking for. It was smooth and floral—such a comforting taste. I really wish I could see this awesome team in Perth

Path Brew Bar is a must-visit for caffeine lovers! I thoroughly enjoyed the interior, ambience, and hospitality of the staff. I visited on a Friday morning and had a lovely start to my day with their soy white coffee. The serene vibes and knowledgeable staff made it a great experience. I’m also excited to learn that they have four batches of single-origin beans each month. I’ll definitely be returning!

For Coffee Lovers an absolute MUST to visit! Various pour-over or espresso options - also from their own roasting. Some pastries/pies with seasonal ingredients! The owner is incredibly friendly and told us a lot about the coffee they have. We came on a Sunday afternoon, so was also quiet enough for a nice chat. Loved this place and had to try several of their specialities.

We tried the white coffee blends - ‘Seasonal Blend Washed PNG/Natural Brazil’ and ‘Vinhal, Anaerobic Natural, Topazio, Red Catuai, Icatu, Minas Gerais, Brazil’. We could really taste the berry and chocolate notes and thoroughly enjoyed the flavour profiles. Staff took time to explain the flavours, were friendly and attentive. Definitely recommend a visit!

Creme de la Creme of coffee! was strong, delicate to flavours and brewed with perfection. No need to ask for 2 shots, coffee bean dominant in taste. The crowds were connoisseurs and ambience calm to enjoy the drop. That’s why Japanese coffee shops top the game. Melbourne cafes pls follow suit, live up to your coffee reputation and stop serving milky and 1 shot coffees! Only milk served is oat. No issue.

This place was SO interesting. We came to Path because my partner was looking for a more elevated coffee experience and we definitely got just that here. The menu described the different drinks you could order here based on their notes, which was so fun. It was definitely a more artisanal experience and I’m glad I’ve had enough nice coffee to feel like I could appreciate this place. Definitely somewhere to visit if you want a beautiful coffee experience. We had a lot of fun here. The space was lovely and the coffee was amazing

One of the best coffees I’ve ever had. I ordered the washed Pink Bourbon espresso from Colombia
