Nexus is an underground family-run specialty coffee store that is a hole in the wall of 2nd Ave IGA Mt. Lawley. Their aim is to provide a coffee experience to connoisseurs and those who need their coffee fix [yesterday!] with the best coffee in Perth. But this focus on quality is only half of the equation. Louis Lam and his team of baristas want to, through their enormous range of coffee preparation methods, beans, and roasts, create a hub where people can come to relax, step out of the racing world to enjoy a caffeinated moment, and join a community with similar interests- appreciation for the finer things in life. Nexus, latin for connection, is symbolic of the connection of the Nexus team with their customers, united in their shared passion for great coffee. Yet it also represents the union between Nexus and specialty coffee roasters in Perth, whose blends are regularly showcased in-store, the connection of Perth to the Swan river, reflecting the link between pure, fresh water in the preparation of coffee , and as the store as a hub for people to come and unwind, share their stories, and interests with each other, and to reconnect in a world where touch screens and instant messaging obliterates any awareness of our surroundings and community.
