    A busy little coffee shop in Hay Street. We were told there would be a wait for our coffees if we didn't want takeaways. We decided to wait & our flat whites were good, nicely presented & wait time only about 5 minutes

    Good coffee, food's not too bad. The decor and vide is a bit uninviting

    We chanced upon this place and decided to get a cuppa. Was recommended the mocha and oh my, was it an awesome recommendation! The mocha is rich, aromatic and rich! Wished we had gotten a double shot instead! Spotted several delicious-looking baked goods too. Do support this cafe!

    Fantastic coffee, great cinnamon scrolls, and lovely service. One of the best, if not the best coffee in Perth. Worth visiting if you're in the area.

    This cafe was a great choice for a first date! Central location, lovely staff and excellent coffee. I didn't try them but the muffins and biscuits looked amazing too. The colourful mugs for our coffee were also a nice touch! Thanks again, I'll come here again soon.

    I was in Perth for work and needed coffee urgently. Found this place as it was right outside my hotel. So glad I did too because I really enjoyed the coffee I had here. The coffee was nice and strong, with a pleasant taste. I went back there three more times before I left, and each cup was just as good as the first. Certainly one of the best, if not THE best coffee I have had. Nice vibes, friendly staff too.

    Not sure what is best, the coffee, the food or the fantastic service. Lets just say all three. Highly recommend this coffee shop.

    A hidden gem. Just a short walk from office yet I have not noticed them till today. Best coffee I've had around, and their cinnamon scrolls are even better. Will be back for sure.

    Happily stumbled across this gem of a coffee shop one afternoon, very happy I did as this place serves some of the best matcha latte I have had. The lady’s who run it are very kind and attentive.

    Nice atmosphere, close to the Westin Perth. Had the mini cinnamon bun and oat milk cappuccino. Mini bun is great for a light breakfast.

    Coffee has always been consistently good & service is very friendly & swift. When I’m in this part of the city running some errands, I do like popping in for a decent Long Mac Top up to go.

    No joke.... These guys should sell themselves with a Barista vibe rather than cafe because I cannot think of anywhere in Perth that makes a better coffee.... rich full flavoured and barista perfection

    Great coffee and friendly service! The perfect stop for coffee if you're at Royal Perth Hospital as it's just a block or so away from the ED. 🙂

    Excellent vibes and great coffee. The staff appear to care a great deal about the quality of their product and the experience of the customers. I appreciate that.

  • 5/5 Stas S. 1 year ago on Google
    A surprising jem as we walked through the city. Great coffee, friendly staff and cozy non crowded environment. Much better than many others on Hay Street and is open till 5!

  • 5/5 Tzer H. 2 years ago on Google
    Best coffee in town. Always go back for it when I'm in town. Fav snacks: pesto basil sandwich & cinnamon roll

  • 3/5 Sylvia 2 years ago on Google
    I used to love this place quiet a lot. Their coffee is great. The ambiance is not the greatest though.

  • 3/5 John L. 2 years ago on Google
    Okay. Not especially remarkable. There's a much better cafe in the immediate vicinity so I believe that the way this place stays in business is by relying on first-time visitors or those who cannot distinguish between a good coffee from a great coffee.
