    What a little gem this place is. Places to sit, beach feel and decor. The bagels are wonderful, staff very pleasant. Prices good, great vibe, we loved it.

    One of the best little Coffee shops in Perth. The staff are so happy. The food is amazing and the coffee is so good. The atmosphere in this place is wonderful. It's like a lounge room I would love to have.

    What a surprise this place is! Stuck in the middle of a car park on busy South St, you wouldn't expect much. Drive through is busy pretty much all the time, but do yourself a favour and park and walk in to enjoy a great coffee and one of their amazing fresh baked and made paninis or bagels with bacon, egg, cream cheese, avo and even home made tomato sauce! This tiny little cafe is so quaint and retro inside, it's the perfect place for friends to chill and chat. Definitely worth a visit or a stop in as you drive past ☺

    Great drive through cafe (as well as having a small seated area inside) and is dog friendly! 🥰 Had a really nice toasted panini (super cheesy - which I love!!) and they also have nice bagels 🥯 Follow us on Instagram for more reviews : @cheatmealswithmydog

    Very interesting cafe. The dining area is unique. Coffee and food taste good. Might be hot during the summer cause there is no AC.

    Best coffee joint SOR. Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable of their customers and delivering delicious coffee at an adequate speed. Sometimes the drive through can go a little slow, but assured your food and coffee will always be fresh and hot. Dining in is also a wonderful experience with the quirky decor and lovely shady alfresco feels.

    Busy, but worth the wait and I love the drive through. Great coffee and amazing bagels. Love the blueberry cream cheese with jam ($8.50) and just recently the Boss Gnome Bagel ($14) absolutely bursting with fillings and flavour 😋😋

    Good coffee with friendly service! Recommended. If you're in a hurry park and use the side door.

  • 1/5 Matthew G. 4 years ago on Google
    Despite my very loyal custom over the years, I was made to feel very unwelcome by a particular permanent member of staff. Myself or family will NOT be visiting again.

  • 5/5 Ernest L. 2 years ago on Google
    More photos of the bluish cafe were added. Blue sea is the icon. (2021-08-27) As I walked in, there were present of smiles and cheerfulness from the staff. The hub was very colourful with a lot of decorations. The coffee has a good roasted aroma with very slight acidity and was hardly bitter. It was a bit smoother and it has an after drink chocolate flavour. I am glad that I dropped by to try their Latte. Cheers! (2021-08)

    Such a cute cafe! They’re also super accomodating and let us order drinks that weren’t on the menu. Chai frappe is a must try!! The only con is some of the drinks are priced quite weirdly (coffee is around $5 but a frappe is $9) Will definitely be coming back here more often though :)

  • 5/5 Lana R. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is an absolute gem. Consistently great coffee and always greeted with friendly service from the girls! Won’t go anywhere else for my coffee :)

  • 5/5 Daniel L. 1 year ago on Google
    Good Coffee, GREAT Bagels, Staff are always amazing, love this place!! - drive available....

  • 3/5 Danielle G. 8 months ago on Google
    Great coffee but would have to be the slowest drive through in the whole of Australia

  • 1/5 Josh D. 3 years ago on Google
    Poor customer service from owner. One day made my coffee how I like it the next turned away due to "covid". Laziness in my opinion, wouldn't wash a mug after making one coffee. Disappointing BC the first 2 coffees I made were good and extremely friendly customer service. Won't be returning unless this is rectified. I love my coffee and I love good friendly service.

  • 5/5 Tatjana W. 9 months ago on Google
    Awesome service! 💛 They were more than happy to make up a vegan bagel, and it was so delicious! Coffee was bang on perfect too. Will be back soon!

  • 5/5 Reza J. 2 years ago on Google
    My most favourite Cafe! Tastiest coffee I ever got, friendliest staff, coolest place to have a coffee! 👌🏻😍

  • 5/5 Wayne B. 1 year ago on Google
    Hidden gem I found going to sonic health care. Reuben bagel, full of flavour. Taste on point, coffee too. In and out under 10 minutes. definitely will go out of my way to come through 💯👌🏽

  • 5/5 Florentin S. 1 year ago on Google
    The best bagels you can imagine served in a rustic but at the same time very stylish ambience or simply directly in the drive in. Have a break and enjoy a coffee with tasty bagels. I will come back from Germany only to eat there again ❤️

  • 5/5 Danielle 1 year ago on Google
    Consistently good coffee - the best you’ll find in or around freo!! Friendly service. Yummy food. Always leave this place with a full heart and full tummy. Absolute gem of a cafe 😇

    Beautiful Coffee, tasty Bagels and Panini with some of the best fillings and most of all lovely customer service 😀.

  • 3/5 Emily W. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice food and beverages but not my type place to eat food seating area is 10/10 coffee is okay I guess could be worse

  • 5/5 Soon Eng C. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 P K. 3 years ago on Google
    I love this place - coffee is always 10/10 and the bagels are really good. They are a little $$ but you get what you pay for. Service is great and the cosy, quirky atmosphere is lovely 😁

  • 5/5 Azarelle N. 3 years ago on Google
    Such a quaint little place to have your breakfast! I absolutely adore the vibes and the waitresses/waiters were absolutely lovely. The bagels are amazing, definitely a must try! There's also a drive thru although there's almost always a line haha but its worth it!

    Delicious Coffee and Boss Bagels! The Veggie Bagel is an absolute delight. Friendly staff and great little outdoor seating area away from the sounds of South St. It is like an Oasis. Every time I am.in the area I am there!

    Amazing coffee and those bagels...like a happy meal but soooo good you don't need the toy.

  • 5/5 Anthony P. 3 years ago on Google
    If you venture out of your car, you'll find this isn't just a drive thru coffee shop. A nice little garden patio vibe mixed with the great coffee and sensational service makes this place the ideal start to your day.

  • 5/5 Renee M. 3 years ago on Google
    Hands down the best coffee in Perth!

  • 2/5 Slim D. 3 years ago on Google
    Service gets slow when the drive through has 7 plus cars in it. People who get off their butt and make an order inside have to wait longer than the lazy buggers in the drive though
