The Barista Express Coffee Richlands is a convenient and welcoming café tucked right next to Richlands Railway Station, making it a natural stop for commuters and locals starting their day. Its proximity to the station means it’s especially popular during weekday mornings when people swing by for a quick caffeine fix before their train. The shop’s vibe leans toward calm and peaceful, offering a pleasant atmosphere that contrasts the usual rush of a transport hub.

Inside, the interaction feels genuinely personal — the owner and staff are known for their friendly, warm service and effortless ability to remember regular orders. Whether you’re grabbing a flat white or a dirty chai, drinks are prepared quickly without feeling rushed, which suits the steady flow of busy travelers and university students alike. The spot also draws locals who appreciate a well-made matcha latte, with something about it standing out as a favourite morning ritual.

Though small, this café places an emphasis on more than just speed. The care in presentation and quality of food served complements the coffee, making it a fine choice for a light bite while waiting for the train or just escaping the daily grind momentarily. Regular visitors mention the kindness extended by the team — like replacing a dropped coffee without fuss — creating a genuine sense of community amidst the hustle.

Ideal times to visit are weekday mornings when the place buzzes quietly as locals catch their trains or settle in for a quick study session. Its approachable and relaxed atmosphere makes it suitable for early risers, commuters, and students who value friendly service and consistent coffee quality in a peaceful corner of Richlands.

I stop by here every Monday on my way to uni for my regular coffee, and the service is always fantastic. Recently, I was feeling a bit unwell and accidentally dropped my coffee while heading to the platform. When I went back to buy another, the kind lady at the counter was so understanding and insisted on giving me a new one for free, despite me offering to pay. Her kindness and warm smile truly made my day. Excellent coffee and absolutely wonderful customer service—highly recommend!

Shop owner makes an amazing Matcha Latte - literally get one every morning, and I have no idea what she puts in it, but it puts every other matcha latte to shame. Also such a sweet person, always greets with a smile and happy greeting :)

I can’t recommend this coffee shop enough! It’s right next to the train station, which makes it super convenient for my morning routine. The owner is honestly one of the friendliest people I’ve met—she’s always got a smile, remembers my order, and somehow manages to get everyone’s coffee out so quickly. You can really tell she cares about her customers. I see so many people just popping into the car park just to grab her coffee, and it’s no wonder why. The coffee is *always* delicious, and she somehow nails the temperature every single time—perfectly hot in winter, just right in summer. It really feels like an art form to her, not just a business. And for what you get, the prices are such a good deal! If you’re anywhere near the station, do yourself a favor and stop by. I honestly look forward to my coffee here every day!
