What do you get when you combine a food blogging/interior designer wife, a culinarily inclined husband and a dream to beautify and caffeinate Albany Highway? A delicious and photogenic cafe by the name of Harvest Espresso. Throw in 5 Senses coffee, homemade goodies, wooden accents, all-day breakfast on Sundays and bottles of dried flowers and […]
This spring, Thursdays have been the day to visit Subi for late night shopping, a pre-weekend-frenzy drink and a hawker-style meal at the weekly Subi Sunset Night Markets, which, sadly, are ending next week. This Thursday, Subi upped the ante. Yesterday saw the addition of the annual Subi Street Festival to Subiaco’s Thursday night mix. Obviously, […]
1905 is a new, open plan café with a twist that will leave you feeling like your early morning coffee purchase has just saved the world. The staff at 1905 are employed by Workpower, an organisation that creates training and employment opportunities for people with disabilities and mental illness. 1905 are proud to produce much […]
If there’s one thing that is not in short supply in Fremantle, it’s coffee (and beer and barefooted backpackers – but that’s another story). Proof that Freo’s become a bona-fide coffee destination? Last year’s inaugural Fremantle Coffee Festival was such a hit it’s been added as a permanent fixture of the annual Fremantle Festival. Sunday […]
When King Street cafe Zekka closed last August, tears were shed, hands were wrung and caffeine withdrawals were begrudgingly endured. Even homages were paid. Zekka’s all-too-sudden disappearance created a void that only one thing could fill: a cafe of equal brilliance. Enter Uncle Joe’s Mess Hall, a temporary cafe created by the owners of Head Studio. Relax […]
“Real food for real people” is how Lina and Tony Armenti describe Pimlott and Strand, their brand new deli/cafe in North Perth. We’d change that to “real food for real people with real empty fridges”. Yep, that about covers it. Inspired by a spritely 85-year-old Englishman and fellow Italophile while on a recent trip to […]
Once the bustling headquarters of The West Australian newspaper, the heritage-listed Newspaper House on St Georges Terrace has been transformed into Print Hall: a beautiful multi-story bar and restaurant. You’d hardly believe the elegant building was once a factory. Instead of the round-the-clock churn of the printing presses is the tinkling of cutlery on plates and […]
The best shops are the ones that bring you into another world, like stepping through C. S. Lewis’s wardrobe – just without any fur jackets to tickle your nose. The fact that our visit to The Tenth State was in the middle of a hailstorm made the contrast between outside and in especially striking. Crawley’s […]
The double duty café is genius. Freo’s Bobby and Olive is part fashion boutique, part café. New Edition in Northbridge sells as many books as flat whites. And now there’s Sidney LOVES Audrey – a new gift/coffee shop in West Perth. The shop is the brainchild of Sian Hanrahan – a lover of baking, antique […]
Leederville’s new Foam Coffee Bar has some pretty big shoes to fill. It’s taken over the space previously occupied by the iconic cafe Oxford 130, a cafe so emblematic of Leederville it even scored a mention by Lonely Planet who described it as, “the classic, casual cafe you need in every neighbourhood”. Sure, Oxford 130’s glory […]
