Caffissimo in Royal St, East Perth is located on the ground floor of the new flashy looking ABC headquarters. As more companies have moved their offices to the Claisebrook Village, East Perth precinct, cafes have opened up to meet demand for services from the influx of workers.
It was the attraction of the leafiness and greenness of the café surrounds with its trees and plants, in an otherwise stark environment of concrete buildings that drew me to try Cafe La Tay.
Stirling St has seen an influx of apartment building construction of late. It is not really the cafe end of town, although I have noticed a smattering of cafes along the street. In future years to come and with more residents moving in, we should watch the space for more cafes.
Tarts is somewhat an institution amongst the locals of Northbridge and Highgate and has been in existence for over 10 years. It is nestled in the quieter part of Lake St near Hotel Northbridge (the old Brisbane Hotel) and is a short stroll to the lovely Hyde Park.
