tried twice when I visit as my mum seems to love it. But the coffee I think is bad. More specifically the extraction. I drink black Americano and I have had under extracted coffee that's sour twice. No crema at all. I'm no barista, but I do love coffee. And coffee at starbucks for example is an empty experience. But it's neither sour or bitter. So it's better.
As for scenery/setting. Really nice. Well done to you. I think it's the best place in Perth for an indoor drinking atmosphere.

I would certainly stop in past again if i was in the area to give...

2017: One of my and many people's favourite cafés in Perth for the lovely staff, cosy decor and relaxed atmosphere. Really appreciate that the back is music free for the times that you want that. All sorts and all ages come here which adds to the appeal. The kind of place you'll find local adverts when so many chains don't accept these now. I find fresher croissants elsewhere but the coffee is good and...
