Cocobelle Espresso Bar
If cafes were sorted like the kids in high school, Cocobelle would be at the cool kids table. With exposed brick and industrial black steel fittings, it’s a great place to hang, chill and snap some pics for the ‘gram.
21 Queens Road, Mount Pleasant
Nic & Kolo
A fully licensed restaurant (read: alcohol available!), Nic & Kolo has to be one of the star cafes in the Ardross/Applecross circuit. Taking home many an accolade, Nic & Kolo isn’t just about the food, drink, but also places heavy emphasis on the design.
45 Ardross St, Applecross
Cheeky Boy Espresso
Formed by a pair of Perth locals, Cheeky Boy Espresso is what we love for a mid-morning brunch. Inspired by the owners’ Italian grandparents, this espresso joint not only roasts quality coffee, but also plays focus on the simple pleasures of an Italian-Sicilian menu.
31F Ardross St, Applecross
Artem Coffee
Almost the definition of hole-in-the-wall café, what Artem lacks in space, makes up in taste. In addition to the wall to wall of artisanal roasts from all over, the chef smokes his own meat, ferments his own chili sauce and makes his own doughnuts from scratch.
Unit 2/39 Reynolds Rd, Mount Pleasant
Perth Maker’s Market
In Western Australia, we love supporting local efforts - and that is made more apparent in our Heathcote Makers Markets. A friend to the arts, it is also a platform for new and emerging artists and students breaking into the vivid art scene.
Westfield Booragoon
Arguably one of the lushest malls in the state, Westfield Booragoon is one of the shiniest and most well-endowed malls that has seen fit to grace Melville. Most of your needs will be met here, and better yet, it is in walking distance from a lot of our Mount Pleasant stays.
Swan River
From the Seabreeze kitesurf school to river fishing, our close proximity to the Swan River means that there is no lack of water-related things to do.
If you’re an avid angler, the river will always provide, with the type of fish depending on the season!
Should you crave something more exciting, the Seabreeze Kitesurf School offers kitesurfing, paddle board and wing foiling lessons, each more adventurous than the next.
