The Best New Cafes in Perth for 2026
Perth's hottest new cafe arrivals are here!
Perth’s best new cafes have mastered the art of the early start. The Bridge House in Fremantle does it with cottage-core vibes and tiramisu French toast; Leeming’s Patisserie Bleu draws you in with cloud-like Japanese shio pan and gourmet scrolls; and Cafe Yoka in Floreat relies on jiggly soufflé pancakes so good half of Perth is right there with you each morning. Ready to uncover your new favourite cafe? We’ve pulled the best new cafes in Perth together right here.
Cub
Nedlands has a sunny new morning go-to for courtyard coffees and all the good stuff: flaky pastries, sandwiches, sausage rolls and hearty pies filled with the likes of chicken, leek and rosemary or slow-cooked beef in red wine. A selection of ready-made meals and custom cakes made to order only adds to the neighbourhood appeal, giving locals and nearby hospital workers another reason to stop by. While behind the machine, Dimattina Coffee’s Easy Street blend keeps the caffeine crowd well fuelled from morning through to afternoon.
3/51 Aberdare Rd, Nedlands
Patisserie Bleu
Leeming has a delightful new French-Japanese patisserie on its hands, serving glossy brioche scrolls and fluffy shio pan salt bread baked fresh daily. While the opening has been billed as a dedicated ‘scrollery’, it’s the shio pan that’s quickly become the breakout hit. Demand has been so strong that customers are now limited to four per visit to keep the shelves stocked. New to the crescent-shaped Japanese pastry? Think of it as a cross between a croissant and a pretzel: buttery, airy inside with a golden base and light, crunchy exterior, all with a subtle salty-sweet flavour that makes them hard to resist. Pair yours with a specialty coffee or matcha and consider your morning sorted.
4/1 Dundee St, Leeming WA
Cafe Yoka
Located steps away from Someday Coffee in Floreat, Cafe Yoka is the sister spot of Kumo Dessert Cafe in Northbridge and serves up the same jiggly, light-as-air folded soufflé pancakes that Perth’s already smitten with (the crème brûlée boba flavour in particular is a true standout). For those in need of a little savoury fix, you’ll find Asian-style brunch plates like the hearty mushroom congee topped with an onsen egg, silky udon carbonara and fried chicken benny drizzled with yuzu hollandaise. Add on ube or strawberry matcha (ceremonial grade, of course) or a creamy hojicha latte, and you’ll see the queues out the door were warranted. Open from 7am until 4pm weekdays and until 9.30pm on Friday and Saturday, Cafe Yoka is also one of the few cafes open later in Perth, making it a cute spot for a cosy sober date.
2/447 Cambridge St, Floreat
The Bridge House
Located in North Fremantle inside a 100-year-old cottage, this quaint dining spot feels like a well-kept local secret. Evenings read elegant and romantic: an alfresco that hums beneath bristling leaves and festoon lights, a cosy dining room that glows with the flickering of candlelight, and tables that unfold over decadent Mediterranean-inspired plates and good wine. But as of this year, you can trade those indulgent nights for a softer start. Brunch is now being served in the gorgeous sun-dappled courtyard every weekend. Expect the same chic, sophisticated vibe alongside good coffee and contemporary brunch dishes like Turkish eggs, forest mushrooms and truffle burrata, chorizo chilli scrambled eggs, and tiramisu French toast. If you were searching for a new brekky spot to try, The Bridge House is it.
Friday to Sunday, 7.30am to 2.30pm

Croff Bakehouse West Leederville
If you love croissants, chances are you’re already familiar with Croff Bakehouse. Launched by self-taught Singaporean baker Giselle Sim and her husband Harold Bong in 2020, Croff already has two popular CBD outlets to its name — both known for dishing up some of Perth’s most viral loaded croissants, fusing global flavours with classic French technique. But their latest opening on Southport St in West Leederville (around the corner from fellow local baking stars, Goods Bakery) has given them something they’ve never had before: space.
With enough room for a serious kitchen and wholesale baking facilities, the Southport St bakehouse gives Croff more space to flex their creativity. Most notably in the form of an all-new dine-in menu brimming with hot and savoury croissant creations, all made fresh to order, as well as other baked goods like shokupan bread and bagels.
There’s also an open bakehouse window, giving customers a front-row seat to the intricate process behind their coveted baked goods. Paired with warm, contemporary interiors and good coffee, it’s a welcome addition to West Leederville’s bustling cafe scene.
18 Southport St, West Leederville WA
Juni Cafe
With its eye-catching pastel blue and butter yellow colour palette and heart-warming community vibe, Juni Cafe is as adorable as it appears. Go for easy comfort treats like gooey scrolls, laminated pastries, cheesy toasties and the sweetest line-up of madeleines from cult-fave indie baker Tasha Bakery (IYKYK).
To wash it down? A beautiful cup of matcha made with quality Little Matcha Girl matcha and a smile. Life should be this simple.
68/1 Kennedy St, Maylands
Daily Practice
Dolce Venezia
Say ciao to Fremantle’s newest slice of Italy: Dolce Venezia. Full of authentic charm, this pint-sized coffee shop on South Terrace is baking fresh, fluffy focaccias and buttery croissants on the daily. Mornings start with rich espresso and a flaky croissant from the cabinet — keep it plain or try flavours like pistachio, custard and more. While, come midday, it’s all about their stacked focaccia sandwiches, made fresh and brimming with premium ingredients (think mortadella, stracciatella, pistachios and silky pistachio cream or ham, provolone, sundried tomatoes and parmesan cream). Finish with a tub of their homemade tiramisu, served traditional or with a pistachio-infused spin, and you’ll be feeling molto bene indeed.
Tuesday to Sunday, 7am to late afternoon
Shop 1 74 South Terrace, Fremantle
Love Ya So Matcha
If you love matcha, Love Ya So Matcha’s new FOMO Freo spot is a must. Those in the know may already be familiar with the name. They’ve developed a bit of a cult following across the market scene, with many claiming they do the best matcha in all of Perth. Big call? Yes, but the deep, vibrant green hue is a clear sign they’re onto something very good indeed. Founded by Japanese mother-daughter duo Aileen and Yoko, Love Ya So Matcha uses organic, ceremonial-grade tea sourced from Japan and whisked by hand for a smooth, mellow, gently sweet cup that makes you realise just how good matcha can really be.
This one is technically a pop-up, but after a successful run, they’ve decided to extend, so consider it your sign to get down.
10 William St, Fremantle
808 Specialty Coffee
Good coffee (featuring beans courtesy of Parkside Coffee’s sister roaster Good People Nice Things), specialty sips (think matchas, cold foams and mont blancs) and tasty treats await at 808 Specialty Coffee in Perth. Come for the heavenly choc coconut matcha cloud and a little baked treat — Croff Bakehouse goodies like spinach and ricotta rolls and matcha white chocolate cookies, as well as Tasha Bakery’s famous madeleines, are all here — and stick around for the relaxed, community vibes. You’ll be a regular before you know it.

Perth’s Best New Cafes: FAQs
Some of Perth’s most talked-about new openings include Cafe Yoka in Floreat, known for jiggly Japanese soufflé pancakes, and Patisserie Bleu in Leeming, a French-Japanese patisserie specialising in shio pan salt bread and brioche scrolls. The Bridge House in North Fremantle has expanded from an evening dining spot into weekend brunch, serving dishes like tiramisu French toast in a sun-dappled courtyard. Croff Bakehouse has also opened a larger West Leederville site with a full dine-in menu of savoury croissant creations. Together, these openings reflect Perth’s growing appetite for both Japanese-inspired brunch fare and elevated French bakery culture.
Cafe Yoka in Floreat is one of the newest spots serving Perth’s popular jiggly soufflé pancakes, including a standout crème brûlée boba flavour, alongside Asian-style brunch plates like mushroom congee and udon carbonara. It’s the sister cafe to Kumo Dessert Cafe in Northbridge, which serves the same style of pancake. Cafe Yoka is also one of the few Perth cafes open later in the evening, trading until 9.30pm on Fridays and Saturdays, making it a rare option for a relaxed evening dessert outing rather than a strictly morning-only visit.
Shio pan is a Japanese salt bread, best described as a cross between a croissant and a pretzel: buttery and airy inside, with a golden, slightly crisp and salty exterior. Patisserie Bleu in Leeming has built its reputation around the pastry, alongside handcrafted brioche scrolls, and demand has been strong enough that the cafe limits customers to four shio pan each to prevent them selling out. It’s a relatively new addition to Perth’s cafe scene and one of the few venues in the city specialising in the style.
Love Ya So Matcha’s Fremantle pop-up has developed a strong following for its ceremonial-grade, hand-whisked matcha sourced from Japan, founded by Japanese mother-daughter duo Aileen and Yoko. Juni Cafe in Maylands and 808 Specialty Coffee in the CBD both serve quality matcha alongside pastries from local baker Tasha Bakery, while Corner 33 in South Perth and Daily Practice in Applecross both feature trending matcha cold foam styles as part of their drinks menus. Between them, these new openings cover everything from traditional ceremonial matcha to more playful, Instagram-driven takes on the drink.
The Bridge House in North Fremantle has recently added weekend brunch to its evening dining offering, serving dishes like Turkish eggs and chorizo chilli scrambled eggs in a converted 100-year-old cottage. Corner 33 in South Perth has quickly become known for buttermilk pancakes and a panko-crusted fish burger from an ex-Nobu chef, while Daily Practice in Applecross pairs a striking fitout with brunch staples like an oversized Caesar salad wrap. Each offers a distinct take on brunch, from heritage charm to full-scale spectacle, giving Perth diners a genuinely varied set of new options.
