Review #121 - @dejaxo_artisan.bakery.cafe

Spring has sprung, bringing with it some elite brew-drinking weather. Feeling a beachy spring whimsy, the blokes decided to head to Dejaxo in Swanbourne after it was recommended by a fellow long mac enthusiast.

Vibes 🍃- Dejaxo is a family-run artisan bakery with four stores all around Perth. Today we visited their Swanbourne chapter and were greeted by a very small and cosy store with a very warming environment. Dine-in seating was minimal, we were lucky enough to grab the only table inside. If you’re looking for a chic Instagram cafe, this isn’t it, but it has a whole heap of charm and lovely service. With hot bread and warm pies, it smelled pretty awesome too.

Taste 👅- We always like to see café’s do things a little different, today we had a single origin running standard through their hopper, unsure how often they rotate this, but we sampled a Brazilian ‘Santo Antonio’ bean from 5 Senses Coffee. Super smooth and nutty, really well extracted and such an easy sipper. Misses the complexity of a blend but makes up for it with a juicy body and well-rounded mouth feel.

Temperature 🌡- Could have been a little hotter, although not too bad

Glass Size 📏 – 6oz - excellent 🫶🏼

Froth 🥛 – 2 of the 4 long mac’s had near perfect levels, while the other 2 were on the excessive side

General Appearance/Consistency 🤩 – Below average in the latte art compartment

Well, well, well, our trip to Dejaxo did not disappoint. A busy little spot that ticks all the right boxes? Sure works for us. A relaxed atmosphere (similar to Brisbane’s coaching box at half time v the Blues) and great tasting coffee is just what the doctor ordered on this morning in Swanbourne. We would prefer a larger dine in area, but as my mother once told me, good things come in small packages. Whilst they are a specialists in sourdough bread, pastries and delicious looking desserts, their friendly baristas do know how to throw down a mean brew.

Thanks for having us Dejaxo xx
