The coffee is always delicious. There are plenty of good and varied options for bread and sweets, all very tasty. I recommend it.

Got the 3 sides of chips, mash and roast veggies. Definitely the best mash I’ve had in a while. The service was good and there are good options for vegetarians.

Tucked away on Pier Street Perth (not the city side) this is a great place for breakfast. There’s a good selection on the menu and most should find something they like. The staff were friendly and helpful and the place was pretty busy with people ordering coffee. We didn’t have to wait long for our Big Breakfast. It was a huge serving. Everything on the plate was cooked well except the tomatoes which needed a bit longer. The little sausages (chorizo flavour) were delicious. Eggs were cooked perfectly. There’s ticket street parking out front.

I've been to this Cafe several times over the past fortnight. The coffee is consistently good, and the large coffee is truly large. The service is speedy and the food is good. The 'Classic burger' is especially tasty, lots of ketchup & mustard. There is currently 2 specials: I, large coffee & toasted sandwich $10.00 2. Large coffee & muffin $7:50. Both great value options, but the muffins tend to be sold out (I tried ordering twice at 10:30am). That's a small gripe. Worth a visit.
