Pony Express O - West Perth

Perth coffee is a hit and miss affair... and pricey!!! But this quirky little gem is a coffee hideout for those people who love a consistently good cup. The service is friendly, knowledgable and the baristas have a knack of meeting you once and remembering your order from then on. The tiny space is littered with prized collections of toys and tools - like someone dug up an old sandpit and put the treasures on display. These guys have applied for a small bar licence... if they can do booze like they do coffee, all I can say is cheers!

Great coffees and I go so often till the owner recognise me! Every cup is well made! I love there latte, affogato and mocha. We sometime gets biscuit treats. Bring your own lunch there and enjoy a cup if coffee while you there! Cosy place.

Wanted to come here last time when I visited Perth, but it was already closed when I got here. This time it was open. It was the first time in a coffeeshop this visit, and the prices were a shocker. $4,50 for a coffee sounds insane, but I suppose it's similar prices in the whole of Perth so I can't blame Poly Express O for that. I got a soy chai (I know, it's not really a coffee). The flavour was okay and they made it from sticky chai leaves (by the looks of it). The milk was very hot, way to hot for me, I burned my tongue. But I know a lot of coffeeshops make their take-away coffees a bit hotter because people don't drink it straight away. Also I once heard that people in Perth like their coffee hotter than people in Melbourne. So I can forgive them for that. The milk froth wasn't great, very bubbly/lots of air. In fact, I had another coffee with someone at Bagels & Beans on Hay Street, and she told me she used to get cofee at Pony Express O, but when she moved from normal milk to soy milk she didn't like the way the soy milk was frothed at Pony Express O and therefore she is getting her coffee at Bagels & Beans now. Service was friendly. Don't want to score too low because I had a take-away and not even a real coffee. Would definitely give them another chance with a 'real' coffee, sit down and have it in a cup, so I can judge better.

Good coffee and hot chocolate! Small venue but nice. Service is very good and quick compared to other coffee shops in the area. Would recommend.
