Perth’s cafes and bakeries have never been better – here’s 25 of the best
Which means that cafes aren’t just part of life in P-Town: they’re a way of life.While there’s a utilitarian quality to the cafe genre, there’s room, like any hospitality venture, for excellence and craft too. Recognising such excellence and craft is the reason behind assembling Good Food’s inaugural Essential Perth Cafes and Bakeries guide: a roll call of 50 essential addresses that define Perth cafe and coffee culture circa 2026. To help everyone digest this hit list, I’ve split the guide into two 25-venue lists, each roughly broken into two main categories.
