Tucked below street level in the Perth CBD, Howard’s Groove fuels the morning rush with precision espresso, crisp sourdough toasties, and mellow basement energy. Baristas keep the counter humming from 7 AM, pouring balanced flat whites and rotating Twin Peaks batch brews before the desk crowd scatters. For an unhurried pause, regulars grab a seat at the street-facing window counter—positioned nearly eye-level with the pavement—to sip sparkling water on tap while waiting on the signature Oat Mont Blanc. Served strictly for dine-in, the cold brew base arrives layered under rich oat cream, cinnamon, and grated orange zest beside a blistered jalapeño toastie loaded with melted cheese.

Made with Howard's Groove Coffee cold brew, airy oat whipped cream that seamlessly melds into the coffee, topped with a touch of orange 🍊 zest for that citrusy flavour & dusted with some nutmeg for that warm spice element. The orange 🍊 zest on top instantly lifts the drink, making every sip indulgent yet refreshing

Toasties was crispy with lots of cheese. Was surprise that it does have the spicy kick for my jalapeno choice.
