Willing Coffee is Heading to West Parade, Mount Lawley

Something deeply considered is taking shape in Mount Lawley—where architecture, community and coffee culture come together in a way that feels entirely natural.

In mid-2026, a new Willing Coffee will open beneath West Residences on West Parade. More than just a café, it will be an extension of a story that has been quietly unfolding across Perth—one grounded in craftsmanship, connection, and a genuine love for the ritual of coffee.

Since opening its first doors in Guildford in 2018, Willing Coffee has grown into something far greater than a place to grab a morning cup. It has become a meeting point—a place where community forms effortlessly, where familiar faces return daily, and where the experience of coffee is elevated through care, precision and intention.

Born from a passion for European café culture and inspired by a deep connection to cycling, Willing Coffee was imagined as a neighbourhood space—simple, welcoming, and enduring. Every detail, from the sourcing of beans to the way each shot is weighed and poured, reflects a commitment to quality and a belief that coffee should be both refined and accessible.

Today, that ethos lives on in its much-loved locations in Guildford and Mount Lawley—spaces that sit at the base of Willing developments, designed not just to serve coffee, but to foster belonging. These cafés have become local institutions, known for their signature Colombian-sourced blends, rotating selection of world-class roasters, and a quiet, unmistakable sense of community.

West Residences represents the next evolution of this thinking.

Rising with a sculptural presence along West Parade, the building draws on Mount Lawley’s rich architectural heritage—ornate detailing, layered textures, and a timeless elegance—while embracing a more contemporary way of living. It is generous in scale, refined in its execution, and deeply connected to the neighbourhood around it. A place designed not just to exist within Mount Lawley, but to contribute to it.

At its base, Willing Coffee will once again anchor that connection.

Spilling out into the streetscape, the café will invite passers-by to slow down—to step into a space where mornings begin gently, afternoons stretch a little longer, and everyday rituals feel elevated. It will be a haven for coffee lovers, where the hum of conversation meets the aroma of freshly brewed coffee, and where the line between resident and visitor quietly disappears.

This new location continues Willing’s broader vision—bringing together property, hospitality and community in a way that feels seamless and sincere. It’s about creating places that people return to, not just because they need to, but because they want to.

Because great coffee is never just about coffee. It’s about how a place makes you feel.

We look forward to welcoming you to this new Willing Coffee location in mid-2026.
