The Best New Cafes in Perth: 2025 Edition

If you love a good brunch, Perth is the place to be. Our city has no shortage of bustling cafes boasting a vibrant ambiance that can’t be beat, as well as nourishing dishes bursting with flavour. Baristas are busy mastering latte art while the scent of freshly brewed coffee fills the air. Whether you’re after an indulgent eggs benny or a refreshing acai bowl, Perth’s brunch spots cater to every craving — and these new hotspots are no exception.

Looking for a new go-to for your weekend brekky? We’ve rounded up the best new cafes in Perth for you to enjoy.

North 54

Leederville has welcomed North 54 and its modern twist on the classic banh mi with open arms. Helmed by hospo rising star Bac Pham (Petition, Rockpool), this vibey Vietnamese spot serves up 10-inch house-recipe rolls packed with playful fillings — think grilled lamb meatballs with cumin labneh, son-in-law eggs with tamarind mayo, and roast pork marinated in fermented red bean. Known for their Sunday snacks and pop-up eats, this permanent residence is a welcome addition for those in the know.

There are gluten-free options, vegan choices, and standout drinks, such as pandan cloud coconut water. It’s fresh, exciting, and they’re only open from 10.30 am – 2:30 pm on weekdays. Lunch break, anyone?

Sidepiece Deli

New kid on the block, Sidepiece Deli, has wasted no time at all slotting into Perth’s sandwich elite. No surprise considering this new Swanbourne gem is from the legends behind Daisies and Other Side. Here, they’ve really stepped up their sandwich game, with a unique line-up that’s big on global flavour.

Craving a taste of Japan? Go for the tomago or fish katsu sando, served on fluffy, shokupan bread. Euro flavours more your vibe? The mortadella and labneh is an easy yes, featuring stacked deli meats, house pickles and pistachio mayo between sliced focaccia. It’s the South Asian-infused focaccias that have us gagged, though. We’re talking onion bhaji and herbed hung yoghurt, poached chicken with curry leaf mayo and crispy shallots, and Keralaan fried chicken with house made kasundi aioli.

It may have been a Subiaco gem for five years, but Be Free has officially relocated to East Perth — and it’s one of the best new cafes on the scene. Specialising in local, seasonal organic produce that’s fresh from the farm to your table, Be Free is all about nourishing food that tastes as good as it looks. The menu is packed with wholesome, vibrant dishes — think rainbow salad bowls, house-made granola, and protein-packed brunch plates — alongside stellar coffee and fresh juices. With its light-filled space, eco-conscious ethos, and community vibe, Be Free is a refreshing addition to Perth’s cafe culture.

Piccolo Deli

The deli offshoot of Subi’s beloved Piccolo’s Trattoria quietly landed in late 2024 — and if you’re the type who dreams in prosciutto and provolone, consider this your new happy place. Channeling old-school Italian charm with a modern twist, this cosy corner is all about indulgent simplicity done very well. Think: gourmet panini stacked with mortadella and pickled veg, classic continental rolls bursting with flavour, and an ever-changing line-up of small-batch stars — from slow-cooked meatballs to zesty salads. Pop in for a quick bite, or settle in with a tiramisu and coffee worth clearing your calendar for.

Lovers Deli & Canteen

Step into Lovers Deli & Canteen, where retro charm meets culinary craftsmanship. This nostalgic gem — founded by the duo behind Good Things Cafe — invites you to savour the perfect schnitzel, topped with brown butter, capers, and a tangy lemon-and-herb sauce.

The interiors, dripping with vintage flair, boast timber panelling, chrome counters, and plush diner booths, evoking a moody wine bar vibe. 

The menu, a nod to old-school comfort with a modern twist, also features indulgent blood pudding muffins, gorgeous salmon breakfast plates with cream cheese, pickles, watercress, and rye, toast topped with heirloom tomatoes and jamón, and vibrant green eggs. A place for all, Lovers blends nostalgia with simplicity—head there stat to experience its magic.

Al Trancio Slab of Pizza

Al Trancio Slabs of Pizza is the ultimate pizza haven in Belmont. Picture Roman-style slabs, perfectly crispy and utterly delicious, served by the slice or in full. Indulge in the classic Margherita, or opt for the Pollo e Spinachi for a halal twist that’s packed with flavour. Pair it with their rosemary-infused porchetta panino or a hearty gnocchi al ragu. Finish your meal on a sweet note with their indulgent pastiera. It’s casual, it’s mouthwatering, and it’s exactly what your cravings are calling for.
