TARTS CAFE

212 Lake Street, Northbridge, 6003

A secret kept quiet by most locals, Tarts is a cafe and giftshop. Previously a house, it was renovated and changed into a giftshop and kitchen. Boardrooms, bedrooms are now dining spaces, kitchen and dining rooms are for the staff and guests. You can walk through the house to the back garden which is colourful and always welcoming, just incaseyou didn't quite feel like staying indoors for breakfast. It's a cafe-giftshop, selling wares and gifts your mother and grandmother wouldn't mind getting their hands on, and items for kids or for the home. Tarts also offers breakfast, lunch and dinner options and is a favourite among locals.

DAPHNE

454 William Street, Northbridge, 6003

Spacious, minimal and completely clutter free - you'll find Daphne Cafe a breath of fresh air. Owners Adam and Sophie cultivate art, space and minimalist designs in this cafe, with a portrait of Daphne hanging on the wall near them. Percolated cold drips and hot cups are worked around this cafe on William Street, situated nextdoor to William Top and Weston's Barbershop. If you fancy a little mystery, try their 'Gold Bar' or grab a La Paleta Popsicle to cool yourself in the summer heat. 

LITTLE BIRD CAFE

100 Lake Street, Northbridge, 6003

Welcome to one of the places in Northbridge that is constantly filling your Instagram feed. Worn couches beckon you to curl up with a book and a coffee, the large tables and copious amounts of seating invites you to bring along a group of friends for brunch and you'll have the choice of indoor or garden seating. With wholesome food and organic options, Little Bird Cafe is one of the rustic additions to Lake Street. 

THE STANDARD

28 Roe Street, Northbridge, 6003

One of the latest additions to the Northbridge neighbourhood is The Standard. Bar, garden and kitchen, the cool and colourful decor coupled with rooftop seating and a courtyard garden strung with fairy lights makes for a good place to visit for dinner. Friday nights are busy and the crowd ebbs and flows, make a reservation in advance as it's a prime place for after work drinks to celebrate the weekend. Dishes are predominately for sharing, with all but four for those who want to be selfish. If you choose to be selfish, you can't go past the lamb belly with sweet and spicy eggplant and grapefruit. 

SUPERSTAR WAFFLES

8/189 William Street, Northbridge, 6003

Nestled far down the end of William Street's Arcade 189, this cafe and dessert bar is always buzzing. It provides many locals a quick fix of sweetness, and with simple but well made waffles with just the right amount of cream and toffee. It's a place you may find yourself wistfully spending your afternoon, people watching or chatting away with friends, and two green tea lattes later, welcoming the evening crowd.

ROOFTOP MOVIES

68 Roe Street, Northbridge, 6003

Currently in its fourth year of screening, Rooftop Movies has cemented itself as a prime outdoor cinema experience. Many a balmy night are spent on the pop up movie theatre, with pizza, live entertainment and candy to match. Elevator doors open to the 6th floor at 6pm sharp - just in time for movie goers to grab a bite to eat and watch the sunset lay a day's rest over the all too familiar but every changing skyline. Movies on show are a fantastic mix of old and new releases, classics, comedies, thrillers, ones of the kids and perhaps even movies for the big kids, just to name a few.

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.
