Mercado Negro
According to Perth Now, this is where you can get the “best coffee in Perth”. And there’s a wide variety on offer, too, including iced coffees and hot drinks of all descriptions – all made to your specifications. But it’s not all about the drinks – there are also breakfasts, gourmet rolls and freshly baked sweet goods. You even get to choose from a variety of seating options, including alfresco tables, comfy couches inside and classic tables. It seems it’s all about options here.
La Veen Coffee
Drink coffee in a heritage-listed building with classic, redbrick exteriors and a minimalist design inside. It’s a favourite with freelancers and students looking for a place to set up camp for a few hours and just get on with some work or reading. There’s a surprising array of coffees including a South Korean cold drip, as well as the classics.
Uncle Joe’s Mess
This small café used to be a dinky barbershop – and it’s now buzzing. It churns out coffees, wraps, fresh juices and more, all available for student discount – now that’s what we’re talking about. It’s the ideal spot to hang out and refuel in before heading back to uni. After student discount, the prices of the food range between around $10-$15.
Bookend
It’s small, it’s busy, but the coffee is oh so good. They’re so confident that you’ll come for their roast (and not a comfy seat) that it declares on their Facebook site that Bookend is standing room only. The food and drinks are reasonably priced, and they’re particularly famed for their coffee and breakfast burritos.
Halo Espresso
It’s all about great coffee and healthy food that tastes excellent, too. The owners also believe in a personal service and personal touch in everything they do, which you’ll see in the waiting staff’s positive attitude and the food. The healthy menu offerings include raw, vegan, fair-trade and gluten-free options. Their food is designed to leave your ‘taste buds satisfied and you body feeling revitalised’.
