Rise & Grind

I arrived early this morning just after 7:30am so had my pick of the tables.
Checking out the menu, I thought it was on the expensive side — I fancied the feta scrambled eggs with spinach and pistachio dukkah, but at $ 22 with bacon wasn’t that keen. I settled for the brioche French toast with fruit sorbet, walnuts and salted caramel sauce which had no price listed on the menu, but I think was $ 16.50.
This was a very attractive plate with beautifully soft French toast and a surprisingly generous serving of walnuts. I would rather have had something creamy other than the sorbet, but that’s just personal taste and the dish as a whole was delicious.
Unfortunately my coffee was very average — I think I arrived just before the main barista did — and I expected better from somewhere with «Espresso Bar» in the name.
The «Loaded Shakes» sound great at $ 10, and I was very tempted by the «Type II» chocolate shake at $ 12, but that’s a bit too much — even for me — at breakfast time!

A really decent coffee and some inventive food options. This place has been reinvented more recently and they’ve got some really cool food gift ideas.
They also cater but I haven’t tried this service yet.

The coffee here makes me actually «ooh» and «ahhh» after those first few delicious sips!
It’s Pound Coffee and it’s that smooth, chocolatey, well — bodied stuff that I love so much right now, and when I’m lucky enough to find a place that does it I am their’s forever!
It’s small inside but cute, and I’m dying to go back kid-​free and sample the breakfast menu, so many interesting and inventive dishes!

Love this coffee shop! I was lucky enough to head in a couple of times before christmas and check out the frankly amazing gingerbread creations. I can’t imagine anywhere else in Perth that would have such a selection of gingerbread houses, christmas trees and tree decorations!
The coffee was good too, smooth and creamy — just the way I like it.

This new addition to the same strip of shops as Chinta gets a big thumbs up from me. I live nearby and you will find me walking down to Rise and Grind for a coffee a few times a week.
The coffee is the best in the area if you’re looking for more of a smooth hit rather than the sharp caffeine punch my husband prefers. They use pound beans.
The counter is always full of treats including topdup donuts that I find hard to resist. I haven’t visited for breakfast yet, but will soon. The menu looks nice and diverse with something for everyone and the meals brought out to other patrons as I wait for my coffee look great.

Bright and light. Friendly staff and really good pound coffee. I’m a morning regular and since they close at about 2pm each day I sometimes stop by again for an early lunch. The eggs benny stack with a home made hash brown is seriously delicious and my family and I can’t get enough them. The breaky pannacotta is pretty and I have also tried the bircher which is yummy.

Not sure when this café changed its name and/​or changed ownership, as the interior seems to be the same as the last café, but the name is different.
Annnnyway, I dropped in last week for a coffee. The café sells are few sweet and savoury food options, the giant cookies on the counter and a frittata in the display cabinet looked good, but there wasn’t much else left at 2pm that day. I was only after the coffee anyway, and it was served quickly which was great, but the coffee itself wasn’t the most delicious in Perth.
