HALO ESPRESSO simply coffee heaven
Issue 01
APRIL 2012
bourkes blog The international debt problems are not mirrored to the extent or degree in Australia, so let’s get thinking more positively like West Australians.
Things are on the improve With 2 interest rate cuts, lower stock levels and a small increase in activity over the first 2 months of 2012, we are sensing an improvement in optimism in Perth. With the Reserve bank reiterating this optimism by opting to retain interest rates this month at their current settings. We are so fortunate to live in Perth, one of the most vibrant economies with one of the best lifestyles in the world. We have natural riches in our Northwest, a well-educated and hard working population and a wonderful “can do mentality”, that has seen our entrepreneurs compete with the world’s best. We are blessed that we don’t live in Greece at the moment or some other parts of the world. It must be stated that it is WA’s time to shine in Australia and indeed internationally. What we must do is shrug off the Greek mentality of pessimism and readopt the “positive” Perth mentality that has been our birth right.
Here are some good places to start. Our rental market is booming. Things are getting tough for tenants with dozens viewing a property at a home open with multiple applications. Many are set to be disappointed. Investing in property has been low for the last 2 years those with investments are doing well with strong rental growth and a selection of fine tenants.
The highly anticipated arrival of boutique espresso bar HALO ESPRESSO is being celebrated by discerning coffee aficionados in South Perth and beyond. Located at 82 Angelo Street, word is spreading quickly about this quality establishment, which opened in early December 2011 and has already developed a loyal base of ‘regulars’, presenting daily for their quality espresso, latte, or cappuccino fix or one of HALO ESPRESSO’s nine signature teas and five hot chocolate blends.

Open 7 days a week, HALO ESPRESSO is fast becoming the stand-out coffee destination on the local scene, a tribute to the stellar mix of great coffee, friendly staff, excellent all-day menu options and exquisite home-made treats such as the delectable raspberry and chocolate cheesecake, red velvet cupcakes and Heavenly Chocolate slice all made by their resident bakers. As one Perth coffee reviewer recently wrote
“It’s the place that raises the bar for coffee... and certainly puts comparable locales south of the river on notice.”
open weekdays from 6 am Owners Marcus and Ange spent eight months in planning and design, and the result is a warm, contemporary, deceptively spacious and welcoming cafe featuring bench seating, warm timbers and a private mezzanine space for bookings and meetings. Most importantly, months were spent researching their signature blend. The result is smooth, spectacular coffee, crafted by an experienced and passionate team of baristas on their beloved La Marzocco.
