Little Sisto

Every time I hit up Little Sisto in Doubleview, it's like visiting a comfy hideaway just off the main drag. The vibe here is almost like a neighborhood get-together, where the staff remember you with a smile. They've got a knack for crafting coffee just the way you like it, and with a solid average rating of 4.6 from over 500 reviews, it seems like I'm not the only one hooked.

The place is both funky and chill. It doesn't scream fancy, but that's the charm. Nestled on Sackville Terrace, it's like those little places you stumble upon and think, "Where have you been all my life?" Especially when I'm out for a stroll or cycling through the 'burbs of Doubleview, this joint hits the spot.

A good number of us regulars enjoy the fact that Little Sisto is inclusive. It's wheelchair-friendly. You won't struggle to get in with wide entrances and a neat car park that caters well. They've got your back with gender-neutral toilets too. It's refreshing to see a spot that's thought of everyone.

If you're an early bird, you're sorted. They open at 6 am every day, right through till early afternoon. However, if you're planning a late lunch, maybe swing by before 1 pm on weekdays. Weekends, you get till 2 pm, making it a perfect spot for a brunch or early afternoon chill. The morning crowd is quite lively, but don't worry, you'll always find a spot.

When it comes to seating, you can't go wrong here. Indoors or out, take your pick. On sunny days, it's a treat to sit outside, soaking up the rays while sipping on your coffee. They don't mind if you bring your fur baby along, which is a win if I'm out with my dog. There's something special about sipping coffee surrounded by lush greenery and happy tail-waggers.

Now, let's be real – coffee is king here, but the food doesn't play second fiddle. Their menu leans towards classic brunch vibes. Think smashed avo, vibrant salads, epic toasties, and some sweet treats that could make anyone's day better. Every bite feels home-cooked, with a sprinkle of something special. If you're grabbing and going, their takeaway options are just as convenient and delicious. If you can't be bothered leaving your place, they deliver, saving you that trip altogether.

The Wi-Fi is strong here, making it a good spot to blend work with pleasure if you're that way inclined. I've hammered out a decent amount of emails while munching on a muffin or clicked through assignments while sipping a latte. Some folks bring their laptops, turn on some tunes, and just dive into work. You could forget time a bit too easily.

Little Sisto feels anchored in a cool corner of Perth. Doubleview itself is packed with little treasures—whether it's the parks or even the short trip to Scarborough Beach. Hit up Scarborough for a swim or a beach walk when you're done. On your way back, dropping by Little Sisto again doesn't feel like overkill. It's that easy and inviting.

This spot doesn't try too hard, and that's its draw. The staff are generally upbeat and know how to make your cup of coffee just right. They're quick with recommendations if you're feeling unsure, and they genuinely seem to enjoy the chat, adding to the neighborhood feel of the place.

If you're new in town or just passing through, Little Sisto is the kind of place locals might steer you to. The crowd is a mix of everyone, from young moms with kids in tow, to older folks catching up over a flat white. Every visit feels like you're just hanging with friends, even if you're there alone.

Exploring nearby, you'll find a couple of interesting places to spend your time. There's Doubleview Sports Club just a short hop away if you're into a game or two. The local shops are charming with boutique feel stores offering unique finds. So, even if your visit to Little Sisto is part of a bigger adventure around Perth, you'll fuel your explorations with good food and great coffee.
