Little Stove

I've grown fond of Perth's coffee scene, and Little Stove in Bicton holds a special place in my heart. This quirky café exudes a vibe that's hard to resist. The place is as eclectic as it gets with a brunch menu to match. It's nestled on Harris Street, making it easy enough to pop by if you're in the neighborhood. As someone who loves exploring cafes, Little Stove stands out as a cozy spot that checks all my boxes.

The first time I walked into Little Stove, it was the aroma that hit me. Strong coffee scents mingled with hints of freshly baked goodies. I knew I was in for a treat. Their coffee is top-notch, brewed to perfection every time. The staff knows their stuff, too, always welcoming with a warm smile. The café radiates warmth, with an overall laid-back feel. It's the kind of place where you instantly feel relaxed.

The brunch options here can range from classic to creative. Imagine avocado smash with a twist or pancakes draped in seasonal fruits and syrup. My go-to brunch item is their twist on classic eggs benny. They throw in a hint of spice that takes it to the next level. It's these quirky touches that make their menu stand out. Nothing too fancy, but you can feel the thought that goes into every dish.

The ambiance here has a bit of charm that's uniquely its own. Wooden tables, cozy nooks, and art that speaks local. You could easily spend hours here, reading or chatting away. They get the balance just right—a lively buzz without feeling crowded or rushed. Come rain or sunshine, there's both indoor and outdoor seating, so you're covered.

Little Stove keeps accessibility in mind too. Wheelchair-accessible parking, entrance, seating, and toilets mean more people can enjoy this beloved spot. If you're a pet lover, you're in for another plus: dogs are welcome! Seeing furry pals by the outdoor tables always brings a smile to my face. For those who can't wait to get home, they offer kerbside pickup and takeaway as well.

What I appreciate most is their consistency. Every visit brings the same level of service and quality. It's mesmerizing how a bustling spot like this maintains such high standards. The Wi-Fi here is a blessing; I've wrapped up a good bit of work over my flat white. And let's be honest, there are days when a change of scenery works wonders on productivity.

What's delightful is its proximity to nearby gems. Bicton is charming with its leafy streets and a sense of calm that envelops you. Just down the road is the beautiful Bicton Baths. Perfect for a stroll or a relaxing sit by the water. The nearby Point Walter Reserve offers sprawling greens for a picnic or a frisbee toss if you want something more active. You're not short of things to do once you've sated your cravings at Little Stove.

Another nearby curiosity is the local art galleries and boutiques. There's always something unique to catch your eye. It's these little discoveries that make Bicton such a gem. Even locals find new spots they weren't aware of before.

Parking around the area is a breeze, which is a godsend during busy brunch times. You won't have to circle ‘round and ‘round hoping for a spot. Harris Street has ample parking; I'm yet to encounter a time where it wasn't easy.

All these little things make Little Stove a perfect package. It's more than a café; it's an experience. A piece of Bicton's heart, if you ask me. Whether you're meeting friends, flying solo, or just picking up your daily brew, this café shouldn't be missed. It's the kind of spot where regulars like me feel like family and newcomers quickly become friends. If you haven't yet, give it a visit. I doubt you'll leave without a plan to return.
