25.01.2022 Well be open at 7.30am tomorrow as usual, but due to the bad weather forecast, well be closing at 12pm #saturday #earlyclose

25.01.2022 Saturdays with Hannah are back @babylon_cafe from tomorrow so come down and enjoy all your favourites! Open from 7.30 till 2 #saturday #cafe #coffee #toasties #treats #bagels #hannah

24.01.2022 So we all know the Corona virus, or COVID-19 is freaking people out and I wanted to assure all Babylonians we're making this space as safe as possible so you can still get your favourite brew. We've upped our cleaning regime, cleaning more often, with even stronger chemicals (this actually ties in nicely with my OCD). While we're very lucky to have an open air garden setting, which makes it very difficult for germs to fester, we've spaced our tables out even further from one... another for the time being to be extra cautious. On top of that, we'd ask any patrons who've had cold or flu like symptoms, or travelled overseas to the hot spots, to give us a visit once you've come out of quarantine. We'll miss you guys, but we want to keep everyone healthy! And don't forget, for large workplace orders, we can organise some special deliveries. Thanks guys, look forward to life returning to normal soon. #coronavirus #cafe #wereallinthistogether See more

23.01.2022 Game on! AFL season confirmed to start tomorrow so if you still want to be a part of the Babylon tipping competition, you need to message or come in tomorrow to register. Last chance. #afl #footytipping #startstomorrow

23.01.2022 Sad news Babalonians, unfortunately were closed tomorrow . Apologies to everyone planning to come down for their weekend fix, well be back to normal after this weekend #closedsaturday #justthisonce

22.01.2022 3 days left to join the @babylon_cafe FOOTY TIPPING COMP! Cost is $10, weekly prize of free coffee for the week with the overall winner picking up cash, prizes, trophy and all the glory. Register @espnfooty #footytipping #afl #cash #prizes #trophy #glory

22.01.2022 Babylon is more than a business and more than a source of income for me. The connection I have with so many people who frequent the cafe means that so many of you are not just a customer to me, you are my friend. It is because of this that I struggle to inform you that I have made the decision in light of what is happening due to the coronavirus, to shut the cafe down indefinitely from tomorrow. This is not a business decision. ... I am one of the many who are immunocompromised (I have Crohns disease) and Ive come to the point where Im not comfortable continuing to work in an environment so exposed to so many people. Its heartbreaking that the job I love is no longer one that right now, I feel comfortable doing. We will reopen, that I can assure you. But for now, please know that I will miss you all and look forward to seeing you back in the cafe, hopefully sooner rather than later. Please be safe and isolate as much as you possibly can xxx #illbeback #closing #friday #missyouguys

22.01.2022 Who remembers these? If you do, youll be very excited to know theyre back @babylon_cafe tomorrow morning. If you dont recognise the sticky buns, youll want to be in tomorrow to try them. Believe that! #stickybuns #thursday #theyreback

20.01.2022 If youre yet to try Mums hallowed Rocky Road recipe, we have two words for you. Do. It. Hot foot it to Babylon or forever live in regret!

18.01.2022 Who remembers these? If you do, you’ll be very excited to know they’re back @babylon_cafe tomorrow morning. If you don’t recognise the sticky buns, you’ll want to be in tomorrow to try them. Believe that! #stickybuns #thursday #theyreback

18.01.2022 Good news for good people - we're open Good Friday! Bring your dog in for an extra sparkly smile from your favourite barista. Thanks for the artwork, Saffy

17.01.2022 Babylons soup is back! Get your steaming bowl of healthy, hearty minestrone starting from tomorrow. Perfect for our vegan mates. Thanks for the pic, Mr Warhol

16.01.2022 We were stoked to have Yappo from @softmind.co feature us for the Authentically Leedervile Compaign, which profiles a small businesses in Leederville with a weekly video. And it goes a little something like this... #cocreateinperth #exploreperthwithsoftmind #authenticallyleederville #leederville #cafe #local

16.01.2022 Well, it's been a long and hard fought battle, there's been plenty of ups and downs and the cream has risen to the top, but the cliches are now over. The winner of the first inaugural Babylon Footy Tipping Competition is McNaughty, who takes home the major prize of a $200 Babylon gift voucher, as well as a hoodie from our major (and only) sponsor, Fiori Coffee. ... He will also be the first name on the plaque to be mounted in the cafe shortly, which will be displayed for all to see and provide posterity for his great season of tipping. Second place goes to TalisaurusRex, who wins a $100 voucher as well as a Fiori t-shirt. Third place goes to Battle Hero, who wins 10 free coffees. It's been an awesome season of footy and the interest shown by the tippers has ensured that this competition will be an exciting annual event.

16.01.2022 The recent spate of closures on Beaufort St has left my heart sore. Hospitality is a tough game. Owning your own café/bar/restaurant may sound like a dream, but the reality is its a tough daily slog for little (or in some cases, no) profit. When the economy is weak, many of your favourite spots to hang will be struggling to survive. Im incredibly grateful for Babylons loyal cohort but want to remind everyone that if you love your local, dont forget to send some love its way. Sending my best to the crew at Clarences and Five Bar. #supportyourlocal

15.01.2022 Pretzels so happy that were back open on Saturday 7.30 -2. #saturday #open #cafe #coffee #dogfriendly #dog #pretzel

14.01.2022 Easter egg hunt included!

14.01.2022 And just like that, we’re back! So looking forward to seeing you all again tomorrow morning from 6.30am, and the big news is, we’ve made some changes. Don’t worry, our food and coffee is the same, but our look has improved. Check out the photos for a glimpse of our new vibes, but to gain the full experience, you’ll have to come by and see for yourselves! ... #back #monday #newlook

14.01.2022 Our newest addition has been flying out the door so fast we haven't had time to officially introduce it. Please welcome Babylon's cheeseburger bagel, featuring an epic homemade patty, bitey cheddar, the world's best dill pickles, and a secret sauce combo. It tastes even better than it sounds, so get in and grab one before we sell out. #burger #bagel #bagelburger #cheeseburger #coffee #coffeeshop #pickles #sb #lunch #breakfast

13.01.2022 Ah holidays, good to see you again my friend! Like many of you, Babylon is on a break and we wont be back till January 6. Its been an amazing year and we couldnt have done it without you. Its such a humbling feeling knowing that weve created an environment that attracts the most awesome people, and its a pleasure to have served you all over the last 12 months. On behalf of Lisa, Hannah and mum, I wish you all the very best over the festive season and cant wait to do ...it all again next year! (Ok, we can wait. We can wait 2 weeks). Special thanks to Hillary for a very special Xmas present that you see in the photo, an art project she did at school. #holidays #xmas #channukah #newyears #coffee

08.01.2022 Its been a while, and youve all been missed! I hope during the lockdown theres been some positives, I can honestly say the break has recharged and energised me so that when we do reopen, well be better than ever! All the messages and enquires have been so appreciated, and Im looking forward to catching up with you all soon. In saying that, were going to wait another couple of weeks and start back on June 2. The Welcome Back Party is going to be very exciting! #june2 #reopening #coffee #wereback #toasties #bagels #bananabread #brownies #yes

07.01.2022 Today is special. 4 years ago Babylon opened its doors with the hope that people would appreciate and enjoy an experience based around their daily coffee. Ive tried to provide an environment that not only provides a great, consistent coffee, but one where you can also grab a delicious bite to eat and know that everything is made with love. From the coffee to the food and from the music to the garden atmosphere, its also a place where weve always wanted everyone to feel re...laxed and at ease. The fact that were still going strong 4 years later is a credit to many people. My mum has been making world class cakes and slices from day 1. Without her help, Babylon would not be the same, and not a day goes by without someone saying that I need to tell your mum she makes the best brownie/caramel/Pharaohs finger/etc Ive ever had. So thanks Mumbo, your efforts are appreciated by not only me, but by everyone whos ever had a Babylon treat. To Lisa, my right hand woman, and Hannah, my left hand woman, you guys keep the place moving forward with or without me, and I thank you both for your hard work and for putting up with my daily moods. Obviously the coffee is a big part of Babylon, and my friends/family at Fiori Coffee have always helped me to deliver the quality and consistency that you coffee lovers demand. And of course, to all you beautiful and supportive customers, it couldnt have worked without you. Not only have you made Babylon what it is today, youve made my job a pleasure by inviting me into your lives and becoming more than just a provider of coffee and food, but a friend. #birthday #4years #thankyou #coffeeshop

07.01.2022 Did anyone read this drivel yesterday? I love my coffee, and I love it in many ways. I firmly believe that coffee is a subjective love affair and this kind of pretentious wank has no place in it.

07.01.2022 Weve roasted up some truss tomatoes, teamed them with their best mate basil and packed it all with Parmesan to create one hell of a tasty tomato soup for Tuesday. Get your bowl before it disappears! #soup #winter #roastedtomatoes #perthcafe #vegetarian #vegan

07.01.2022 Thanks so much to the kind person who placed this note on my window as we were getting ready for tomorrow Yes the time has finally come and I hope youre all as excited as we are for our reopening. Resuming the early morning struggle of getting up will be but a slight hurdle to the joy of serving coffee and treats to you all! Our hours will be the same as always, so tomorrow and for the rest of the week well be open at 6.30am. On Saturday well be opening at 7.30am. ... Hope to see you all soon! #coffee #tomorrow #reopening

07.01.2022 We love our regulars, and love them even more when they leave cool sketches after a study session at Babylon. How good is that digital toastie? Great pic @cxncxllxd!

06.01.2022 Saturday’s with Hannah are back @babylon_cafe from tomorrow so come down and enjoy all your favourites! Open from 7.30 till 2 #saturday #cafe #coffee #toasties #treats #bagels #hannah

05.01.2022 Yes, were open, yes, we have plenty of space, and yes, its a beautiful day. Come by have a coffee. #open #coffee #saturday

05.01.2022 And that’s a wrap for Babylon in 2020. Extra gigantic love and thanks to you all for your support and friendship during such a crazy/challenging/shit year. You kept showing up and ordering your favourites even when it was a complete unknown to go out the front door. It’s passion and loyalty like yours that have helped keep businesses like mine afloat in these scary pandemic times. I’ve loved seeing my regulars, welcoming new faces, meeting pups and kids, working alongside my ...incredible worker bees Hannah and Leah, and I look forward to doing it all again soon. But first: I’m sleeping for two weeks straight! Special thanks, as always, to mumbo for her exquisite homemade sweet treats and hard work. You’re amazing Di Adonis. And the Fiori team for always looking after me. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all. See you all in 2021! We’ll be back in business on January 11 Xxx #holidays #thankyou #2021

05.01.2022 So great to be back and seeing everyone again. Drinking loads of coffee and eating toasties is also pretty good! We’re not open on Saturday in January but will resume our regular hours and weekend trade starting in February. Enjoy your weekend! ... #notopensaturdayinjanuary

03.01.2022 BIRTHDAY POST!!! Today Babylon turns 5! My utmost appreciation and thanks to you all for making these last 5 years possible, obviously theres no way this couldve happened without your ongoing support. I truly hope youve enjoyed being a part of the success of Babylon, without you guys we wouldnt be here. I really appreciate your loyalty and the connection thats been built over the years between us. There are so many places to go and grab a coffee or a bite to eat, and ...it really is an honour that you choose to come here. Monday being the most boring day to honour the occasion properly, were going to wait till Friday to get serious with the celebration (think cake and booze). Special thanks to mumbo whos been here since the beginning supplying the cafe with the best cakes, banana bread, tarts and slices around, Babylon wouldnt be the same without her incredible effort Thank you again, we love you all #birthday #5years #cafe #thankyou
