The Best New Cafes in Perth
This is our edit of Perth’s best new cafes, updated regularly. Some are following the latest coffee trends – continuing the push away from espresso and towards batch-brew – while others are trying to become great neighbourhood catch-up spots.
Here’s where we're going for coffee right now.
Cafe
Bottega Deli
This family-run deli is by a hospitality veteran and two of his daughters. Experience the essence of Italy with authentic Neapolitan flavours, paninis, pastas, Pascucci coffee and, of course, traditional tiramisu and cannoli.
Cafe
Al Trancio Slabs of Pizza
This suburban takeaway joint serves some of the city’s mightiest porchetta panini. Alongside that, it sells slabs of Roman-style pizza with house-made sausage, plus changing pasta and street-food specials.
Restaurant
South Bird
This spot, by the crew behind The Bird and Ezra Pound, is not just another Southern-style fried chicken joint. Come for funky natty wines and local beers paired with hot fried chicken. The spice levels start at medium.
Cafe
Smidge
A pocket-sized cafe and bakery by an ex-Deli’s Continental team member. Here, she's asking you to indulge in house-made cinnamon scrolls, focaccia toasties and other treats.
Cafe
Strollio’s Luncheonette
An extra-creative couple are behind this suburban spot, which nods to Perth’s old-school delis. Strollio’s dishes up plenty of nostalgia, plus sangas, house-made baked goods, pantry staples and coffee.
Cafe
Lovers Deli & Canteen
This hybrid deli and lunch bar elevates retro-inspired diner staples with old-school hospitality. Plus, its chicken schnitzel competes for Perth’s best – and may even be winning.
Cafe
Be Free
At its Perth City Farm location, the organic cafe is doubling down on its ethos of sustainability with a produce-driven seasonal menu, a full-time on-site farmer and a fit-out that brings the outdoors inside.
Cafe
Kith Eatery
An aunty-approved congee and a Macca’s-inspired muffin sit comfortably together on Kith’s cusine-crossing menu. The tropical iced matcha – which combines mango, passionfruit, matcha and honey – is a highlight.
Cafe
Angelwood Pies
This grab-and-go pie shop has a chef with Michelin cred. Get in early for a dozen variations including classic mince and Keralan barramundi curry. Plus, sausage rolls and nostalgic counter sweets.
Shop
Pinos
Empanadas are the heart of this tiny bakery in Subiaco, where Chilean tradition meets classic and modern fillings, alongside house-made sauces, coffee and fresh juice.
Cafe
Earl’s
Come for breakfast sangas, hot beef hoagie with scamorza, roast lamb flatbread stuffed with fries and more.
