1. The Little Pantry

Set in Shenton Park, this café is popular with the locals and for good reason. It’s all about the food. Don’t let the façade fool you, either, because this is the place to go when the hunger pangs kick in and the outdoor area makes it great for bigger groups. If you love an all-day breakfast menu, then you’ll be happy to know that you can have any breakfast item at any time of the day on the weekends. Just look at how pretty their plate presentation is, too. It’s almost too good to eat. Almost.

2. Top Up Donut

Going on holiday is all about being a bit indulgent, and that’s exactly what you’ll get if you stop at Top Up Donut for brunch or breakfast n Perth. This place is great if you have a sweet tooth, because the menu is top to bottom dedicated to artisan donuts in all sorts of flavours including, chocolate coconut pistachio and blood orange curd with sherbet and blueberry cheesecake. Yum!

3. Bittersweet Bake

If you love your baked goods then you simply can’t go past the likes of Mosman Park’s Bittersweet Bake. There are rows and rows of baked goodness, including sweet and savoury options, but the cakes and baguettes are some of the most popular items in store.

4. Small Print Baker and Coffee Maker

If you like your coffee as much as you like your baked goods, then Small Print Baker and Coffee Maker is the place for you. Located in the Brookfield Place precinct in the city, the people behind this restaurant are serious about coffee, as well as providing some of the best artisan breads, breakfasts and brunches available in Perth.

5. Bib & Tucker

Somewhere in between a casual Sunday dining experience and a sophisticated beachside setting, Bib & Tucker is an old favourite in Perth and they even have their own beehives on the roof of the building, which are dedicated to delivering delicious honey and honeycomb for the desserts on the menu. At least now you have a good excuse to have dessert for brekky. You’re on holiday, after all!

6. Rabbit in the Moon Café

Rabbit in the Moon Café have one of those trendy Instagram accounts where they share photos of their super-sized milkshakes and beautiful-looking food, so it’s unsurprising that it’s a hit with the locals. But as well as the sweet treats, there’s also an all-day breakfast menu to choose from, which includes delicious classics like eggs benedict and others that are a little more adventurous like the kimchee brioche.

7. Hamptons City Beach

Any restaurant that has uninterrupted views of the Indian Ocean and serves a champagne breakfast every day of the week is worth the visit in our book. Brekky options include anything from Manhattan bagels with cream cheese to a big breakfast that will give you enough time to soak in as much of the beautiful view as possible.
