Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Macedon

"If you have an appreciation for cosy courtyards and all-day brunch menus, don’t look past this Freo classic. Crafted around sustainably grown local produce and seasonal foods, this homestyle menu is designed to make everyone feel satisfied. Australian ingredients like lemon myrtle, WA-sourced meats and even extra virgin oil make appearances on the delicious menu."

"At Moore & Moore, expect to find food that will make you feel good, every day of the week. Nestled on Henry Street in the historic West End of Fremantle, this rustic café shares a space with Moores Co..."

"You might have to wait to get a table at beloved Freo cafe Duck Duck Bruce, but trust us, it’ll be worth it. Started by a trio of mates, the warm spirit of friendship is imbued throughout Duck Duck Bruce. This is a place that doesn’t take itself too seriously… even if the food is seriously good."

"If you ever need to convince someone why Perth is great (or uh, OK!), just take them to il Lido. Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse. Each pasta dish is a loving ode to its produce, whether it’s spaghetti with nduja, white anchovy, mascarpone and lemons, crowd-pleasing blue swimmer crab linguine, or cavatelli with broccoli and sausage."

"S&T nails everything that we love about Thai food: fresh, vibrant, sweet and tangy with a healthy kick of heat. Their menu strikes the balance between accessibility for those less familiar with Thai cuisine (yes, you can get a green curry, or some pad thai), and plenty that are primed to become your new favourites. We can’t go through a summer without at least one papaya salad followed by durian icecream – served with sweet sticky rice, creamed milk and roasted peanuts, it’s a game changer."

"For all of your authentic Thai favourites, from fresh papaya salad to charcoal beef, plus some contemporary riffs of the cuisine (curry pies anyone?) this spot located in the Old Shanghai food court is your go-to. Head down for take-away, or jump on Uber Eats to get your fix."

"This family-run café nurtures a sense of community and cosiness that radiates throughout the Inglewood town. With a focus on a fresh menu and specialty coffee from Twin Peaks Coffee Roasters, our menu favourite is the French toast topped with mango puree, passionfruit and lemon curd. Address: 917 Beaufort Street, InglewoodHours: Monday – Sunday 6.45 am – 2.30 pm"

"Jersey Jack Gelato puts a fine-dining spin on ice-cream in South Perth. With beautiful, modern-looking architecture, this dessert parlour has some eclectic flavours like durian. They also offer other scrummy desserts like their waffle tower, donut sandwich and French crepes."

"Only a 20-minute drive from Perth, the Butterflies, Birds and Bridges Trail is one of the most scenic trails in Canning Regional Park. You’ll walk through sedge meadows, mature woodlands, creeks and amongst the crowns of a paperbark forest. This lengthy but easy trail is the perfect weekend day trip, and with water access points and a cafe, it’s a trail that you don’t have to be too prepared for."

"With four different locations in Perth (Northbridge, Canning x 2 and Morley), Kung Fu Kitchen is open 7 days a week from lunch to dinner. The dine-in and take away menu includes Sichuan dishes, braised meats and more unusual (by Australian standards) items like pork blood, beef tripe or braised duck giblets. If you dine in, enjoy their hot pot, which is a Chinese cooking method where you have simmering broth in front of you to add in your ingredients and cook yourself before devouring."

"Another hot pick for lovers of spicy Sichuan food, Kung Fu Kitchen packs a serious punch with its mouth-numbing soups, braised offal dishes, and Sichuan-spiked salads and noodles. 2/139 Newcastle St, Northbridge. 1359 Albany Hwy, Cannington"

"It’s tucked away and relatively unknown, and yet those in the know will happily swear by it as one of Perth’s best. The epic menu brings something for everyone, but it’s the Sichuan yabby hotpot, whole crispy fish and homestyle sizzling bean curd that have us crying out for more. Try the East Victoria Park venue for yourself and see whether it’s your jam – because it’s definitely ours."
