As George Orwell warned in his legendary novella, Animal Farm, “all (brews) are equal but some (brews) are more equal than others”. Mary Street is a quintessential Perth coffee institution of rapidly growing size, but how do their brews stack up? Can a coffee behemoth deliver when it matters most? Not intimidated by the sheer magnitude of their foe, the blokes showed up ready to get down and dirty in pursuit of brewfection (brew-perfection)…
Vibes 🍃- One of Perth’s coolest and renowned bakery chains and for good reason when you see their incredible selection of artisanal loaves and the best donut line-up going around. This place has a special spot in the blokes heart - fair amount of nostalgia in the air reminiscent of the early days of our coffee journey. Awesome staff, awesome people, clearly a very established venue that knows what they are doing.
Taste 👅 – Not many coffees we are more familiar with than the taste of a Mary Street brew courtesy of ‘Offshoot Coffee Roasters’. Somewhat of a staple fusion for a Perth coffee drinker – Brazilian and PNG blend with a fair amount of caramel and dark chocolate tones. Maybe it’s the habituation, but certainly didn’t blow our socks off, not a brew to rave nor complain about, does the job.
Temperature 🌡 – We enjoyed it. Could’ve baked it slightly longer…
Glass Size 📏 - Can’t fault it, all you’ll ever knead.
Froth 🥛 – As large as our chests (our chests are huge). Could’ve definitely eased up on it.
General Appearance/Consistency 🤩 - comma ci, comma ça (means ‘so so’ in French). Nothing to rave about tbh.
The Street of Mary Bakery is somewhat of a household name among Perth coffee-istas. Various locations and a solid (meaning good) reputation makes it a notable name for a brew any day of the week. Much like a reliable half back flanker in AFL, always does it’s job, never disappoints however never lights the world on fire. Always handy, just like a travel pack of tissues, extra bandaids in your backpack or a hand towel in a sports bag. Congrats Mary
