Little Mia Cafe

Little Mia Cafe in West Perth feels like a hidden gem. With a 4.7-star rating, you'd expect something special. I visit many cafes around Perth, and this one stands out. Nestled on Murray Street, it's a true retreat from the city's hustle.

As soon as you walk in, the vibe hits you. It's warm and welcoming, making you want to stay longer. The staff are friendly, quick with a smile, and they get to know regulars by name. It's those little things that add a personal touch to every visit.

The cafe's got a great layout. It's not huge, but it feels cozy, not cramped. Lots of people pop in for takeaway, but you can sit and savor your coffee too. Dogs are allowed, so you'll often find someone with a well-behaved pup enjoying brunch outside.

They know how to make a good coffee here. I've tried everything from their flat white to the long black, and it's consistently good. You can tell they care about their brew — it's rich, smooth, and always perfect temperature.

Beyond the coffee, there's a decent menu with brunch classics. Their avocado toast is simple but tastes great, and the eggs are always cooked just right. For a sweet treat, try their pastries. They have a fresh batch each morning.

Little Mia doesn't just cater to the nine-to-fivers on weekdays; it also attracts the local working crowd looking for a lunch spot. Sometimes, I watch the world from a window seat with a cappuccino in hand. The comings and goings of West Perth unfold before me, each hour adding a new story.

Despite the fact they're closed on weekends, people seem to appreciate the weekday calm. During weekdays, there's something comforting about seeing a blend of professionals and locals in one spot. It's a ritual of sorts—you come in, grab your coffee, maybe a bite to eat, and for a moment, the outside world melts away.

Parking in the area can be tricky, but public transport's a breeze with the free CAT bus running nearby. When the road gets bustling, duck into Harold Boas Gardens nearby after your coffee. It's a peaceful green space to stretch the legs and clear the mind.

If you have a sweet tooth like me, a visit to The Honeycake is a must. It's a short walk and their honeycake is divine. Fancy some shopping? Watertown Brand Outlet Centre is nearby and offers a good mix of shops and bargains.

Also in the neighborhood is RAC Arena, a hotspot for music gigs and events. If you time it right, you can chill with a coffee before catching a show. For those keen on art and culture, the Art Gallery of WA isn't too far. It's a nice way to wrap up a morning of good coffee and conversations.

Back at Little Mia, expect no fuss, just honest, good service and tasty eats. The relaxed atmosphere keeps me coming back. Here you can enjoy a pause, a moment of quiet before diving into the day or heading back to work.

For a glimpse of community in the heart of West Perth, Little Mia Cafe delivers. This place is worth checking out for anyone who appreciates good coffee, a friendly smile, and a welcoming atmosphere. They've got a loyal crowd, and once you visit, it's easy to see why.
