Breakfast @ Little Pantry

It's tiny, and during the week the breakfast menu is limited to whatever is in the case, but the things in the case are delicious and on weekend the full menu is worth the wait. Service is helpful and friendly, the cakes and muffins are inspired and lunches are great to eat there or grab as a quick takeaway.

Breakfast @ Domain on Loch

A cute little cafe that takes you back to Grandma's house with its decor, but stays current with its interesting and seasonal menu. Big fresh flavours and dishes that you don't see elsewhere, this is a pleasant way to start the day. There's no view to speak of, but a lovely al fresco area with painted mushrooms that may or may not hide fairies.

Breakfast @ Globe Coffee House

It's tiny and parking can be tricky, but if you're in the area and want a really fresh breakfast full of flavour rather than fat, then you should pop into this little cafe. Simple but big flavours and generous serves make this small but mighty. Good for vegetarians.

Must try: trio of crostini (mushroom, tomato and avocado, pictures)

Choux Cafe

Only if you are on a serious diet should you stay away from this tiny little box of goodness hidden in the burbs. You can get a sugar coma just by staring into the case crammed with all manner of French delicacies, each more beautiful and intricate than the last. It's like staring into the sun. Plan to arrive early in the day or risk missing out.

Cafe Cafe

I remember eating breakfast here in the past and loving it. Recently I have been underwhelmed. Still, the serves are generous and it is popular with large groups of cyclists and families who spill out into the al fresco area. There is plenty of free reading material and the cakes in the cabinet look pretty awesome, so maybe stop by for afternoon tea.

Tarts Cafe

A rambling beast in Northbridge, part shop, part cafe, with a lounge room, a board room and an al fresco dining area. The breakfast menu runs until midday (2pm on weekends) but the lunch menu looks even better and the range of cakes on display will please everyone (including those who want GF).

Sayers Fine Food

Eat here. Be happy.
Breakfast and lunch are both top notch, but Sayers is also one of those rare places in Perth where you can go for a proper afternoon tea, with generous serves of home made cake and slice, with plenty of gluten-free options.

Breakfast @ Atomic Cafe

Despite its name, Atomic didn't blow my mind. 
Everything was nice, I'd eat there again if I was at The Quarter and needed feeding. But it is nothing to rave about.

Price range: $

Must try: eggs and dukkah

Hobart Street Deli

This is the type of place locals want to keep their own little secret, but the Hobart Street Deli not only has a really interesting menu and good food, it is also directly opposite a gated park that is just perfect for small children.  Winner.

Caffissimo West Perth

It's coffee, it's freshly made rolls and baguettes, it's a chance to rest for a few minutes while you're out and about in West Perth. Uncomplicated food with friendly staff.

High tea @ C Restaurant

It's a gimmick but it works, and the view from the restaurant on the 33rd  floor is definitely unique in Perth. Service often lets down C Restaurant, even though the food is consistently good (albeit expensive). The High Tea is very nice but I wouldn't go in a large group and I wouldn't bother bringing the kids.

Address: Level 33, 44 St George's Terrace, Perth

Chapels on Whatley

They serve bread with practically everything, even the Thai Beef Salad

Chapels is an intriguing fusion of many different things. It serves high tea in gorgeous pots, it has kimchi in about half of its dishes, it has a shop out the back, it serves Aussie breakfasts and Asian lunches and so much more. If you visit, be brave and order something unusual.

Bada Bing

Breakfast, lunch, dinner... you can't really go wrong at this simple little cafe in the 'burbs. The staff are friendly, the cake cabinet will make you salivate, and it is across the road from the beautiful Jackadder lake and the very child-friendly playground.
