Willing Coffee Mt Lawley

Willing Coffee Mt Lawley is a specialty coffee espresso bar with a strong connection to cycling, European café culture and the local community. Based at the Clifton Central development in Mount Lawley, the venue is part of a family-owned hospitality group that has been serving Willing coffee since 2018. Its focus is straightforward: carefully made coffee, a sense of connection and a place that contributes to the character of the neighbourhood.

The house coffee is a signature single-origin style sourced from Colombia, with beans lightly roasted to retain body and sweetness while keeping a balanced acidity. The range also includes rotating featured beans from specialty roasters such as Prodigal Coffee, Passenger, Sey and Twin Peaks. For visitors who want to recreate the experience at home, Willing also sells coffee beans and brewing equipment. The website does not publish a food menu, so this is best approached as a destination for coffee rather than a venue to visit specifically for named dishes.

Cycling is central to the Willing identity. The business was founded by Tim Willing, a former Australian Track Cycling Champion and Institute of Sport WA scholarship holder whose professional racing career took him through Australia and Europe. That background informs the venue’s limited-edition cycling apparel and broader interest in the craft, materials and rituals surrounding the ride. The café’s European influence is reflected in its emphasis on conversation, coffee and community, rather than a purely takeaway-focused experience.

Willing Coffee should appeal to specialty coffee drinkers, cyclists and Mount Lawley locals looking for a neighbourhood espresso bar with a clear story behind it. It also suits solo coffee stops and informal catch-ups for people who value the café culture the business has built around its venues. The wider Willing group describes its hospitality spaces as opportunities for connection within Perth’s established neighbourhoods, and that local focus is particularly relevant here: three generations of the family live in Mount Lawley, where the group grew up and continues to work. The venue holds a 4.2 Google rating from 199 reviews.
