    LowDown Cafe, located on Hay St, is an absolute gem that exceeded all my expectations. The moment I stepped inside, I was greeted with great service and a warm atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to provide outstanding customer service, making me feel like a valued guest throughout my visit. The food at LowDown Cafe is simply divine. Their delicious muffins and toasted sandwiches are a delightful treat for the taste buds. Each bite was filled with flavorful goodness, leaving me craving for more. The attention to detail and quality of ingredients used in their dishes truly sets them apart. Now, let's talk about the coffee. Oh my, the coffee at LowDown Cafe is like a heavenly elixir. From the moment it was brewed to the moment it touched my lips, it was a delightful experience. The baristas take great care in preparing each cup, ensuring a perfect balance of flavors and a smooth finish. Overall, my experience at LowDown Cafe was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment I entered to the moment I left, I was treated to top-notch service, scrumptious food, and a heavenly cup of coffee. If you're looking for a place that checks all the boxes, LowDown Cafe is the place to be.

    This is my favourite coffee shop when I’m working in the city!! They are always so friendly and the coffee and food is amazing!! When it’s the coffee hour, you’ll find it’s busy!! Their second fiddle is to die for, one of my favourites!!

    By far the best coffee in town!! Perfect balance of bitterness, sourness and sweetness. No other cafe can beat them! Always very busy but staffs are friendly and attentive.

    The old lady and man who work here are incredibly rude. Large coffee only has one shot which is very poor like the treatment of the staff here. Don't let their fake kindness fool you.

    Love these Melbournians whom have brought the art (and prices) of making hip coffee in Perth. With jazzy, urban, soulful beats filling the air, be quick to snap the their tasty treats that pair extremely well with their really smooth, velvety, full-flavoured cuppas. To top it all off these guys are perhaps the only ones in town who will remember your name and order (useful when hungover or suffering from temporary amnesia). Long Live Lowdown, with their distinctive flavours, impeccable service and down right smooth grooves!

    Coffee is good. They used to serve the best Banana bread in town, the last two times I had to chuck it in the bin.

  • 3/5 Anh D. 4 years ago on Google
    Toastie isn’t as amazing as Eillo’s, but still yummy :-) Coffee was okay. Location is really nice as it’s next to a nice open seating area under glass ceiling.

    An amazing coffee shop, excellent tasting coffee and excellent staff! They greet you kindly and know exactly who's order is who's and it comes out in little too no time at all! Amazing for the amount of orders they have! An coffee spot that everyone should know about

    The coffee was just ok. Considering the high ratings I expected better. Staff serving us was super friendly which is always welcome. Disappointed.

    Although small, this place has a great vibe. Came for some good coffee, stuck around for great music. Even their standard filter coffee has a great flavor.

    This coffee shop provides excellent service, they thank you politely by your name everytime and greet you with lovely smiles. My favourite coffee in the city! Thanks a lot LowDown

  • 5/5 Jessica B. 1 year ago on Google
    Coffee is always delicious. The staff bring the coffees out to you sitting down in the busy, crowded common area so that you don’t have to stand around and wait. Their second fiddle toastie is amaaaazing 🤤
