A garden shop or a suburban block of flats might not be the first place you would think of going for a coffee, but Perth has some out-of-the-ordinary places to go for a bite to eat and they are not as terrible as you might think they'd be.
Here are some places you might want to give a go.
The 'Pear'fect Pantry
9 Herdsman Parade, Wembley
After you figure out where to park, head in between the pretty non-descript apartment blocks on Herdsman Parade; you'll find a little gem of a cafe called the Pear'fect Pantry.
Behind the laundry and not far from Herdsman Lake, this place offers plenty of vegan and healthy options which are also super tasty.
Waldecks Stirling Blue Lotus Cafe
Corner Karrinyup Road and Hamilton Street, Stirling
This place is loved by parents and gardeners alike.
It offers a lot more than the sausage sizzle that you might have in mind when you think of a nursery/outdoor store.
Making the most of its surroundings, the cafe has an outdoor alfresco area next to a pond and water features.
Fresh herbs are also grown onsite and used in the dishes served at Blue Lotus.
A fully fenced play area and lots of space for prams means it's a great place to bring the littlies.
Mill Point Caffe
254 Mill Point Road, South Perth
A coffee and a good book have always been a perfect pair, so it makes sense that this cafe is also a book shop.
Come for the books, stay for the food.
Get ya fix
1/471 William STreet, Northbridge
It's a bicycle store and coffee shop in one.
We all know cyclists love their coffee, so it's a pretty sure bet the coffee made here is not an afterthought.
They also have a nice selection of take-away food.
Bolt Coffee
Corner Stirling Crescent and Amherst Road, Hazelemere
This one is another cafe in a nursery.
The real focus here is coffee. The place is run by a guy with a passion for roasting and serving the best coffee.
It is a collaboration with Men of the Trees at its St Barbe Grove Nursery in Hazelmere.
