Write a ReviewI pop into Mid-Century Cafe and Collectables every few weeks. This spot in Yokine has carved out a cozy nook for itself. It's got a vintage feel with furniture that screams retro charm. The décor adds an extra layer of uniqueness, and it's a cool place to sip on a latte while sitting in a setting that takes you back in time.
The coffee here is consistently good. I won't call it world-class, but it does the job well. The menu features your standard options—espresso, cappuccino, flat white, and more. Consistency is key here, making it a dependable choice in Perth's coffee scene. They also carry decent tea options and a few specialty drinks, which keeps things interesting for regulars like me.
Their opening hours make it a convenient stop. They're open from 7 am most days, which is perfect for a morning visit. I usually end up with a coffee and something from their brunch menu. Speaking of, brunch here is worth mentioning. It covers all the bases: eggs, bacon, and fresh muffins. Not groundbreaking, but hearty and satisfying. The bread's fresh, and their avocado toast hits the spot more often than not.
I appreciate the outdoor seating. On sunny days, I plop down outside with my book. They're dog-friendly too, so your furry buddy can tag along. That's a nice touch, and something my pooch is grateful for. Comfort for all cafe-goers seems to be important to them—with wheelchair-accessible entries, parking, and restrooms to boot.
The staff here holds their end up too. Friendly and chatty but not overbearing. They include regulars in small talk, like catching up with old pals. The liveliness inside adds to the cafe's character, even when it's packed.
Yokine itself isn't shy of attractions either. The café is tucked in an area that's got some gems. Mount Lawley Golf Club isn't far, which is a treat if you're into a spot of golfing. Western Australian Golf Club is another place where you can tee off.
If you're in the mood for something active, the Yokine Reserve is nearby. Great for walking or running if you need to burn off brunch. There's usually some event on or people playing sports. Being able to grab coffee before or after a walk makes for a good start to the day.
For a more cultural vibe, head to the Perth Cultural Centre. It's not exactly next door but close enough for a planned outing. You could spend a day there after fueling up at Mid-Century. The Art Gallery of WA and the State Library are solid places to visit.
In case you find yourself in Yokine, this café is a spot to consider. While the cafe scene in Perth is buzzing, Mid-Century holds its spot with its no-fuss vibe. It's refreshingly straightforward, and I enjoy how reliable it is.
The only gripe I have is the parking. It fills up fast, but you can usually find street parking nearby. It's minor though, and a short walk isn't a dealbreaker for me. Plus, it gives you a reason to stroll through the neighborhood.
Prices are fair for what they serve. It's in line with most mid-range cafes, though some might say it skews a bit on the pricier side. You're paying for both the atmosphere and your coffee, which I think balances out.
Ultimately, stopping by Mid-Century means enjoying simple food and good coffee. It's a slice of retro nostalgia that doesn't try too hard. There's a charm here that keeps me coming back, even when there are other places to explore in Perth.
If you're after a cafe that feels like a homely hangout, this is a solid pick. Nostalgia blends with comfort, providing a pleasant spot that's welcoming to all. It's a cozy place in a corner of Yokine that's worth visiting.
