Perch up in the sunshine and dig into wholesome brunches, boozy cocktails, food coma-worthy lunches and perfectly brewed cuppas.
We’re pretty lucky here in WA to have some of the most postcard-perfect coastline views in the world, and what better way to soak them in than at a super cute coastal cafe with food and drink in hand.
Add these perfect coastal cafes to your must-tries.
Canteen Trigg
It doesn’t get more coastal than Canteen.
Right on the shore of Trigg beach, you’ll be pressed to find a day this cute little cafe isn’t packed to the brim with coast walkers and sea breeze seekers- and for good reason.
Aside from being fitted out in calming beach shack style with casual seating and 10/10 views, the menu here is pretty spot on. Plus, for the most part, it’s pretty healthy with a heap of whole foods, healthy bowls, and vegan options.

Little Bay
Little Bay is about as picture-perfect as the sparkling view over Watermans Bay.
The gorgeous beachside cafe is constantly abuzz with activity, and it’s no surprise when it’s one of the most Insta-worthy coast spots we’ve ever seen. Boho furniture meets crisp whites in Hamptons style with swing chairs, stone tables, and plenty of sunshine. The food and drink? Just as good- plus, your fluffy friends are welcome.

Bib & Tucker
It’s no secret that Bib & Tucker has made a pretty big reputation for itself in Perth, so what’s all the hype about?
Let’s start with the mouthwatering, fresh local produce packed with flavour they plate up, or the magical views over Leighton Beach in Fremantle, or the uber-friendly staff and eye-pleasing rustic-chic interior. You get the picture.

Tropico
Tropico had a surge in popularity a while back over Insta with their picture-perfect brekkies cramming up many feeds, and we can confirm it’s still just as delicious now.
The simple setting allows room for the food to take the full spotlight, featuring sweet treats, wholesome bowls, and the classics. You can also grab cocktails, wine, and an ice-cold beer if you’re feeling cheeky.

The Beach House
If you live north, this is your next coastal oasis.
As soon as you walk in you’ll be hit with an abundance of lush green plants and ocean-facing views. The menu features all the usual suspects – smashed avo, salt and pepper squid, steak, salad, fish and chips etc. Its simplicity is what makes it loveable, no fancy touches necessary. But the real seller here is the location. Catch a sunrise through the floor-to-ceiling windows and you won’t want to leave.

It may look like your average run-of-the-mill coastal cafe from the outside, but the food and coffee at Sistas are a pleasant surprise of deliciousness.
An absolute fave of many locals, it’s a necessary pit-stop for brunch, lunch, or a coast walk coffee, and they’ve also more recently opened up shop at Mindarie Marina. All your classic breakfast icons are featured, along with some pretty tasty lunch burgers and healthy summer salads.
