Blink

I’m looking forward to the Uni semester starting up again so that Blink reopens! Coffee from this little hole-​in-​the-​wall is always spot on and ordering there feels quirky and fun.

Hole in the wall with brilliant coffee.
Just look for the line.

This is just about as ‘hole-​in-​the-​wall’ as you can get. It’s teeny!
The coffee earns the ⁴⁄₅ rating (there’s not much else to review on!) but it’s only take-​away, bar a few faux-​grass cubes out front. Inside is standing room only. Standing room for the barista only.

Blink and you’d miss it. Blink is a tiny little coffee bistro on the end of Freo’s High Street. It started with one man and his coffee machine and a hole in the wall, his amazing coffees soon became well known and he set up shop in West Perth and left his Fremantle origins in the capable hands of Bee who loyally rides her bike down to the store every morning to power up the people of Fremantle.
It is a real home to regulars and early mornings before the students lectures and the working morning there is a queue around the block! But once you get to know Bee, she’ll remember your order and if you’re spotted in the queue, by the time you get to the front, your coffee or tea is piping hot and waiting for you, all you have to do is chuck your change down the chute! There are nibbles available if you are in need of a breakfast muffin or croissant, or craving some morning tea. The coffee is consistently amazing here and people are always happy chatting while waiting so you often meet new and interesting people, or witness what comes down the streets of Fremantle, I once saw a dude on a unicycle!
Blink is one of my personal favourites and heaven knows Bee saved me once or twice when my lowly students funds didn’t allow for caffenine that morning, but heading to a lecture in the morning after an all nighter studying my body was saying I needed it, I was able to grab an I Owe You coffee (don’t spread that around though, and I would always pay the next day!) But there is true appreciation and loyalty to regulars here and it is really great coffee!
