24 July 2025

Perth's cooler days are the perfect excuse to seek out warm drinks, hearty feeds, and sweet treats.

The City of Stirling is packed with cosy cafés, bold flavours and local gems, whether you’re after something quick, something indulgent, or something to share.

Here’s your foodie picks - choose what suits, mix it up, and dig in.

Stay slow, stay warm

Ease into your day at:

  • Little Sisto (Doubleview): Laid-back lattes, a solid masala chai plus a range of deliciously ‘topped toasts’
  • Folk & Merchant (Doubleview): Perfectly brewed coffee and winter bowls – try the Sunrise Porridge for something different
  • Nogi Lane (Dianella): An all-day brunch spot brimming with classics and some breakfast treats like their cinnamon scrolls and baked rocky road pancakes
  • Doric St Café and Kitchen (Scarborough): The self-proclaimed best coffee in Scarborough, plus a menu full of crowd-pleasers.

Lunch that hits different

Let your cravings guide you with this round up of local go-to’s:

  • Vietnamese Fusion (Scarborough): Flavour-packed soups perfect for a chilly day
  • Ma Mooney’s Café (Osborne Park): Rustic Irish fare like beef stew and coddle (a slow-cooked Dublin classic) – hearty and homestyle
  • Sunshine Café (Mount Lawley): Pho and roast pork banh mi that locals rave about for a reason
  • Roselea’s Kebab & Turkish Bakery (Balcatta): Fresh Turkish bread, pizza bases and kebabs that hit the spot
  • Peko Peko (Scarborough): Hand-rolled nori maki, immune boosting soups and rice paper rolls all made fresh daily
  • Little Magic Momo (Osborne Park). Tibetan thukpa and momo soup both rich, spicy and seriously good
  • Authentic Bites (Karrinyup’s West Deck): Arguably the best dumplings in Perth … but we’ll let you decide
