The Best Cafes in Subiaco for Your Next Brunch Fix

Subi’s coffee culture is strong, with no shortage of trendy cafes welcoming in customers with the promise of the perfect flat white, delicious food, and plenty of good vibes. 

From the buzziest of hangouts to the cosy corners ideal for a morning on the laptop, this charming Perth suburb has it all. And while the enjoyment of coffee is inherently subjective, we’ve done our best to round up the Subiaco cafés that, by all accounts, are some of its best. 

Boucla

If you’re in the mood for a Subiaco cafe that exudes warmth and Mediterranean charm, head to Boucla. Tucked away on Rokeby Road, this local institution is like a little slice of Greece, sitting pretty in the heart of this oft-European accented ‘burb. If the mouthwatering aroma of freshly baked cakes and the impressive display of treats doesn’t do it for you, the exceptional coffee and cosy atmosphere surely will.

Community Coffee Co

Tucked down a laneway at the back of a car park, this unassuming Subiaco cafe is one of our picks for the best spot for a delicious sandwich and expertly crafted coffee. With new specials always on the go, expect the likes of fried chicken, prawn cocktail and classic curried egg sandos, as well as sausage and egg muffins with added hash brown, chilli mayo, lettuce and American cheddar; this one always hits the spot. Reubens, folded egg sandwiches and delicious cinnamon scrolls often hold their place on the menu too, and this is one of the best spots in Perth to cure your iced latte cravings. The finest start to the morning begins at Community Coffee Co.

Piccolo Deli

Piccolo Deli brings a slice of Southern Italy to Subiaco, serving up soul-warming, homemade meals, flavour-packed lunches, and indulgent dolci. The real star here though, might just be their fresh-made paninos, filled generously with Italo deliciousness like chicken parmigiana, cotoletta or your usual conti roll favourites. Open daily, it’s your new go-to cafe for authentic Italian eats, no passport required.

Bagel O’s

Bagel O’s has landed in Subiaco, bringing its cult-status bagels, stacked deli sandwiches, and damn good coffee to Rokeby Road. Already a hit in Mount Lawley, their new spot serves up all the classics—think Lox, PB&J, and the legendary Bronsalini with bacon, hashbrown, and chili honey. Sweet tooth? Grab a peanut butter cookie or a glazed doughnut. It’s the ultimate bagel fix in the west.
