This place is in the heart in the city and they serve up some pretty good coffee. The iced chocolate my boyfriend got wasn’t choclatey enough which is a common first world problem in his life. The atmosphere is nice and it’s a great spot for a coffee shop. The topdup donuts are a bit steep at $ 6 but I’m guessing they’re sold for that anywhere. #goodfoodofperth

If you are in the city and in great need of some caffeine hit along with something to eat, this place just might have exactly what you are after… Housed right opposite Ribs and Burgers and near Jamie’s Italian come this wonderful little joint with great tasting coffee and an array of goodies whether you’re after something sweet or savoury! They have bagels, croissants, donuts by Top Dup, raw treats, baguette sandwiches, bagel sandwiches so many choices great for on the go or to enjoy on site. The atmosphere is chilled and the look of the place is stylish with awesome light fittings, light wood furniture and touches of white make this place very open, inviting and friendly. Check this place out, you will be greeted by friendly staff and your belly will not be disappointed

In a highly competitive café market; Max & Sons holds its own, firstly it’s got a prime location in the 140 lane way; and they have chosen simple clean décor for the cutout. The coffee is good, I like my coffee a little on the strong side and they deliver that here so they get full marks; and they have I’d say an above average selection of food on offer for a coffee shop, though they are not aiming to be a full café i.e. full meals. Only minor concern is that the staff have made me feel rushed when I was looking at the food; and sometimes I really don’t know what I am after; but I am sure this is rare.

Max and Sons is a great, upbeat café which has a lovely fresh vibe. Even early in the a.m. the place is buzzing with activity. I often call in for my morning macchiato and the baristas are cheerful and welcoming and more importantly, know how to make a delicious, creamy cup of coffee. In addition, they do get an early delivery of the legendary doughnuts from Top Dup and also fresh pastries from La Galette. Fabulous coffee and your favourite doughnut, what more can you ask for? There are also raw treats and savoury items for you to choose from. At present they are serving two delicious looking salads, one is a fresh slaw and the other is a scrumptious looking one with a base of zucchini noodles. Will definitely be trying these in the very near future. The space is open and breezy and there is plenty of seating outside if you wish to dine in. A truly winning touch is the mini terrarium on every table complete with flourishing succulent! The service is always quick and efficient making Max and Sons an excellent choice on busy mornings when you just need to grab your cup and go!

In need of a post-lunch coffee after a big meal at East Village across the way, I had been wanting to try this new coffee shop out. They focus largely on coffee, with just a few sandwiches, bagels and raw dessert items available for breakfast and lunch. Some salad options added to the menu would be welcomed by me. Staff were friendly and really helpful while ordering. They’ll do almost any kind of coffee you’re after. I fancied a filter coffee. They have two at the back of the counter at all times. They work on an honour system, so you just drop your $ 2.50 in the cup and grab your own. They usually have two varieties to choose from.

Max + Sons is a cosy café to chill out, grab a coffee, catch up on some work and grab a bite to eat while allowing you to watch the world go by. It’s also nice to see friendly, enthusiastic staff that are really passionate about quality roasted coffee beans and love making the liquid caramel goodness and are more than happy to share their knowledge. Along with ensuring quality café food is served to the masses in a space that will feel like home in no time at all. And hey they are one of a handful of cafes that stock topd donuts and man that’s a +++ in my books! =D

Thought I’d check this place out since it’s just opened in my office building — should have saved myself the elevator ride. The décor is nice, having managed to find that balance between quirky cuteness and pretentious hipster-kitsch, and the plants on the table are a nice touch. However, when I walked in there was nobody waiting, but I stood at the counter for a good minute while the person on the till dicked around with his iPad for no apparent reason… When he was finally ready to take my order, I paid $ 4.50 for a ‘large’ flat white and received a cup which was barely two-thirds full of weak coffee and a bunch of foam. Seriously unimpressed.

From the successful mother and son duo behind Mo Espresso, comes newly opened Max + Sons nestled into the 140 William St complex(Globe and Railway Lane). It presents a slick interior with cement floors, white tiles display and wood panelling, it’s a Scandinavian dream. It makes waking up to a creamy coffee much easier. There is 7 outdoor tables with cute little succulent plants decorating each. There is no need for aircon as there is a great breeze passage and good people watching opportunities. The focus here is the coffee and the freshly made donuts– dark chocolate and beetroot anyone? I’ll definitely be back for that! There is also a range of panini and salad light lunch options and bakes. This place is no doubt going to be a huge success with a steady stream of office workers following in.
