A Travel, Photography and Points Blog
I heard of this cafe called Hylin in West Leederville a couple of years ago but never made it until a few weeks ago. I’ve attempted to go a number of times when I was looking for somewhere to brunch, but it always seem to fall on a Sunday (which is the day Hylin is closed). As expected the place was packed when we arrived. We waited around 45 minutes before we finally got a tablet for three.
Every year the Good Food and Wine Show comes to Perth. This year was the first time I checked it out. I’ve always avoided it because the crowds are always insane. A friend of mine was keen to go again this year and I figured why not check it out for once. This year it was at the Perth Convention Centre. We purchased tickets for the Saturday session and headed in at 10am when the doors opened to beat the crowd.
Decided to have a few days off after coming back from my two week New Zealand adventure to just relaxing in Perth and check out some of the local cafes without the busy weekend lunch crowds. It’s definitely a different vibe going to a cafe on a work day than it is on a weekend. I find the cafes are noisy and the staff are generally more stressed. On a weekday, the crowds are smaller and the shops are not as busy, which makes for friendlier staff who you can have a pleasant conversation with without holding anyone up.
