Grouch & Co's espresso bar shares a former warehouse with its roastery in Myaree, south-west of central Perth and inland from Fremantle. Polished concrete, sparse tables and retail shelves surround the counter. It is a compact stop for coffee and beans.
Coffee
The company has roasted in Myaree since 2014. House blends sit beside changing single origins and decaf, with beans sold individually and through subscriptions. Espresso and milk drinks provide the quickest introduction to the range.
Filter
Filter coffee and retail bags give the visit a second purpose beyond espresso. Ask which coffees and brewing methods are available that day; the selection changes with the roasting schedule.
Food
Food is a small accompaniment to the drinks. Check the current counter if you need something to eat rather than relying on an older menu.
Service & Room
The warehouse has a limited number of tables, a reading chair and the roasting equipment nearby. The bar closes at noon and does not trade on Sunday, so plan it early in the day.
Why Filter Notes shortlisted Grouch & Co Coffee Roasters
Grouch is worth a Myaree detour for coffee from the working roastery and beans to take home. The limited seating and morning-only hours suit a short visit.
