HYLIN
178 Railway Parade, West Leederville 6007
Hylin opened its doors not too long ago and has already established itself as a go-to destination for coffee and breakfast. Its white walls and complimentary blue hues make for a great spot filled with natural light and lovely service, Hylin will prove to be the height of your day. You may be familiar with the wall art, it has after all, been featured in many Instagram feeds of late. The rest of the cafe has been slightly neglected in photographs. Although sadly this is the case because the wall art is just so photogenic. The kitchen is busy, a flurry of flames and dishes in and out, the baristas busy steaming milk for countless coffees and the rest of the cafe and its customers left to their own devices.
PICCOLO'S CORNER
58 St Leonard's Avenue, West Leederville, 6007
The interior is colourful and bright.What will draw you in is their kitsch decor. It's a mixture of modern and classic, with many of their teapots looking like items you'd either find in an op-shop or your grandmother's showcase cabinet. The cafe is full of character and always buzzing. Be prepared to wait at least half an hour before food is brought out to you on blue and white china plates, but I guess in that time you can sip away at a mango and almond smoothie while peering into people's gardens past their white picket fences. There is no doubting the relaxed style breakfasts served, don't go past the smashed avocado.

LOW KEY CHOW HOUSE
140 Oxford Street, Leederville, 6007
It's completely unsuspecting from the outside, marked by an "Open" sign with mahjong pieces and a good luck charm. The stripped back walls and floorboards bode well with the new and refined china, tables and wine glasses. The menu is a fun reflection of the attitude of the guys serving the food and the chow house itself. Famous lines from famous kung fu movies are coupled with cool Asian gangsters - icons from all sorts of Asian countries and dishes that go hand in hand with them.
