The Best New Cafes in Perth for 2026
Perth's hottest new cafe arrivals are here!
The best new cafes in Perth right now are big on global inspiration, from Willing Coffee’s New York-coded flagship in Mount Lawley to March Coffee Studio’s kissaten-inspired second address in the CBD and Trader Deli’s LA-style nourish plates in Osborne Park. Further afield, Grounded Cafe & Bookstore turns your coffee run into a reading adventure, while Patisserie Bleu in Leeming rations its shio pan to four per visit. These are the openings our editors keep circling back to, whatever your coffee order.
Trader Deli
With its Erewhon-style smoothies, colourful lunch plates and generously stuffed sandwiches, Trader Deli feels like a little slice of LA in Osborne Park. The nourish plates are what first caught our eye, letting you build your own wholesome lunch from four proteins, seven sides and five sauces. Go for Tassie salmon with hot honey carrots and cucumber salad, grilled chicken with green goddess sauce and crispy roast potatoes, or a little chimichurri-topped steak with a side of sweet potato fries and greens.
For those who prefer their lunch between bread, The Supa Deli layers stracciatella, chilli jam, mustard mayo and crunchy veg into fluffy house focaccia, while the Deli Meats goes all in with salami, prosciutto, stracciatella, hot honey and vodka sauce. Drinks deserve their own deliberation. Alongside the functional smoothies, there’s a peaches and cream Mont Blanc, strawberry shortcake iced matcha and an iced mocha cloud to try.
Sitchu Tip: Bring a friend willing to order something different so you can try both.

Willing Coffee
Your coffee order comes with a rather impressive, New York-coded backdrop at Willing Coffee’s new Mount Lawley flagship. Beneath the curved balconies of West Residences, Tim Willing’s latest spot brings together soaring ceilings, arched windows, warm timber and red brick, with interiors by Mata Design Studio. Aside from those lush interiors, there’s a lot for coffee lovers to get excited about. The ‘Willing to Split’ lets you try the same espresso black and with house-made freeze-distilled milk, while the Reserve Cellar offers beans roasted and brewed to order. For everyone else, your regular coffee, a warm croissant, and a sunlit spot by the large glass windows will be more than enough. If you’re hungry, there are toasted focaccias, madeleines and other sweet things to keep you company, too.

Stereo Stereo
If your ideal morning involves vinyl and excellent coffee, Stereo Stereo is up to the task. The Morley coffee bar comes from the crew behind local coffee icons Twin Peaks, Howard’s Groove and Smooth Operator, with beans roasted just across the road. Here, vinyl plays through custom speakers, shelves are stocked with coffee and brewing gear, and the smell of sourdough toasties convinces you to add lunch to your daily coffee run. Try the Tuna Turner with Kewpie, capers and dill, or go for the classic Cuban with pickle mustard, ham, cheese and gherkins. A cold-brew Mont Blanc topped with oat cream and orange zest can pass as dessert.

Grounded Cafe & Bookstore
“I’ll just have a quick look” is a dangerous thing to say at Grounded Cafe & Bookstore. Inside the Fremantle Malls, this quaint new cafe pairs coffee with shelves of secondhand books, covering everything from classics to romantasy. Order your usual or a Biscoff or Nutella latte, then browse with a sweet treat in hand; loaded Butter Club cookies and banana bread from Nana Bread should go down nicely. There’s also candles, flowers and other finds from small businesses, making it even harder to walk out empty handed.
Sitchu Tip: Going in without a reading list? Pick up a wrapped Blind Date with a Book and let someone else choose your next obsession.

No Title
Specialty coffee is front and centre at No Title in Leederville. We’d start with the Draft Latte, a nitro-brew-inspired coffee made for warm mornings, then come back for the Deep Latte, the team’s spin on the dirty coffees they fell for while travelling through Thailand and Korea. Always ask what brews they’re pouring that day, too, as there’s often something new to try. And with the cute little coffee bar nestled beside Angelwood Pies, grabbing a pie on your way home feels inevitable.

March Coffee Studio
Calendar full, inbox feral? March Coffee Studio’s second CBD address gives you somewhere to sit with that for a minute. At 181 St Georges Terrace, three-time barista champion Ziggy Varamulia has taken inspiration from Japanese kissatens, with soft lighting, pale timber, generously spaced tables and jazz giving the office-lobby location a much gentler mood. The coffee menu leaves room for both your dependable morning order and a little curiosity, spanning familiar espresso drinks, designer lattes and rare pour-overs. Yes, there’s even a $100 eugenioides coffee. Arthur Bakery pastries, Bagel O bagels and house-made sandwiches offer a considerably easier lunchtime decision.

Holmes Coffee
There’s a good chance Holmes Coffee will become part of your routine if you live anywhere near Shenton Quarter. Like many of Perth’s greatest new coffee openings, a former Micrology team member (Max O’Connell) is behind it, bringing a custom Micrology house blend alongside guest coffees on batch and cold brew. Knead pastries and classic sandwiches take care of breakfast and lunch, while Little Matcha Girl supplies the matcha. With park views and a 6am start, it suits an early coffee before work just as well as a croissant and a catch-up afterwards.
Sitchu Tip: Bring your laptop if you need to; there are power points and Wi-Fi here, too.

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.

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 cabinet 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.

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 or post-work catch up with friends.

The Bridge House
Located in North Fremantle inside a 100-year-old cottage, The Bridge House still 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 now you can trade those indulgent nights for a softer start. Brunch is being served in the gorgeous sun-dappled courtyard every weekend. Expect the same laidback feel alongside good coffee and contemporary brunch dishes like Turkish eggs, forest mushrooms and truffle burrata, chorizo chilli scrambled eggs, and tiramisu French toast.

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 are known for dishing up some of Perth’s most viral loaded croissants, fusing global flavours with classic French technique. Their latest opening on Southport St in West Leederville (around the corner from fellow local baking stars, Goods Bakery) provides 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.

Juni Cafe
The butter yellow and pastel blue interiors might draw you into Juni Cafe, but the miso mushroom melt will make you stay for lunch. Served on Goods Bakery sourdough with Kewpie, Swiss cheese and mozzarella, it joins chicken and tuna melts, plus a maple sausage, egg and hash brown muffin for hungrier mornings. Over in the cabinet, Tasha Bakery’s madeleines come in flavours like lemon, matcha red bean and yuzu white chocolate. Choosing just one feels unnecessarily restrained.
Studio Traces is behind the Maylands cafe’s sunny fit-out, where tiled tables and mismatched checkerboard details play off the pixel-style branding. The drinks deserve a look beyond coffee, too: Little Matcha Girl supplies both matcha and hojicha, served straight up or with house-made white chocolate syrup. For something cold, there’s an iced strawberry matcha made with house-made strawberry coulis.

Dolce Venezia
Say ciao to Fremantle’s newest slice of Italy: Dolce Venezia. Full of authentic Italian flavour, 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. 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.

Daily Practice
With Caesar wraps the size of your head, matcha topped with salted maple vanilla cold foam and space-age interiors, the Daily Practice hype feels deserved. And given the new spot is from the same family behind beloved Applecross cafe Nic & Kolo, we shouldn’t be too surprised. Here, they’ve turned a humble tyre-shop office into a visually striking cafe and retail space, where curved aluminium walls, green marble counters and racks of clothing, accessories and homewares from Australian and international labels make pulling in for a coffee feel like stepping into a magazine spread.
The food stacks up too, whether you go for the cult Caesar wrap or turn your attention to the Korean short rib breakfast burrito, packed with custard eggs, hash brown, Swiss cheese and jalapeño aioli. Matcha drinkers are also well catered for, with plenty of specialty blends to choose from, including a banana bread version combining banana bread syrup and vanilla cold foam.
