Toastface Grillah

I didn’t really ‘get’ what all the rage was about. We stood in the alley way waiting for two toasties for about 20 minutes, possibly more. It was made on cheap bread and mine was particularly tangy — not sure why. They were nothing special for a toastie and I make better at home. There’s no where to sit as it’s constantly full of hipsters that are happy to sit around forever for a toasted sandwich. Definitely not worth the hype, sorry for not choosing to jump on this bandwagon #goodfoodofperth

Tasty toasties!
This place is nothing fancy, but if you’re in the mood for a cheap, interesting toasty that you likely can’t get anywhere else (see: the King toasty) this is the place to go.

Good place tucked away down a little alley. Nice toasties. Pretty standard fare. A little rough around the edges but I think that’s part of the charm. Quite a few flies around when we were there.

Went here on a recommendation while I was in Perth. I think the name and concept alone does most of the work for these guys — but that isn’t to say that they don’t pull it off.
Toastface is tucked away in a little alley and is a tiny store with a makeshift seating area out the back. I opted for the Ol’ faithful, which was ham cheese and mustard, and it sure did the trick. Overflowing with cheese and a great balance of mustard and pickles, it certainly went down a treat. The only downside was that the seating area has no shade, so I was eating a scorching toastie in 40 degree heat — probably not the most ideal environment. Also the fact it’s not licensed is a bit of a let down — a cold beer would’ve sat well alongside.
Definitely a spot worth checking out, maybe only once though — I’m not sure if I loved it enough on its own merits to return to.

There aren’t words.
Toasted sandwiches are simple, anyone can make them, but these guys take it next level.
Cheese and chilli. Simple and Perfect. Trilla Cheese. Yum. Ol’ Faithful. Get in me.
Their puns are as good as their sandwiches, and the guys are friendly and welcoming.
Their roll out into events has been fantastic, especially as their shop isn’t open in the evenin’, which means, as I don’t work in the city, I often miss out.
On top of their wizardry when it comes to sandwich making, everything is so reasonably priced. $ 7 for a piece of sandwich heaven? OK! $ 3 coffee. Get in me.

Great sandwiches but you’ll probably want to order it as a takeaway. The seating area is true hipster fashion and assembled out of discarded, old bits and pieces. And there’s not much of it. No cooling either, it’s not a place to enjoy a sit down over lunch in any heat.
But the sandwiches are really good.

Damn that’s a good toastie. Why can’t I make toasties this good?
The place offers some serious instant street cred for all those who visit or recommend it. «Oh, no big deal, I’m just taking you down this kewl graffiti’d alleyway to a secret coffee/​toastie place named after Ghostface Killah. No biggie.»
The toasties are the perfect way to get all your calories in one delicious serving — tons of butter and cheese and deliciousness. I always go for the Old Faithful — with mustard pickle, ham and cheese. Freaking yum. Take it out into the casual courtyard with one of their brilliant coffees or get it to go.
Do it yo’

The best toasted cheese sandwich you will ever taste.

I seriously love this place. The fact that it’s called Toastface Grillah (an homage to Ghostface Killah, a rapper with Wu-​Tang Klan) already hints at the awesomeness you’ll encounter upon visiting and they don’t disappoint.
The external façade features street art by Studio Robot (with laneway artwork by Victorian artists Bonsai and Two-​One) and upon entry, you’ll be met with rap music, milk crates, a stuffed thumb sized koala and laid-​back staff pushing awesome sammiches and coffee.
We’ve been several times and being a chilli fiend, I always get the Feelin’ a Lil’ Chilli (jalapeños, chilli flakes, different cheeses pressed between crispy bread cooked in rosemary butter). SO GOOD. Pear Grillz (blue cheese, lime chutney, pear) is also a favourite, as is Danny Zuccho (zucchini, jamon, brie) and the Old Faithful (ham, cheese, mustard pickle).
Toastface also feature paletas (Mexican ice pops) by La Paleta as a refreshing finish to your toastie breakfast/​brunch/​lunch. Salted caramel or watermelon lime ice pop, anyone?
This establishment is a prime example of doing one thing (freaking awesomely) well.

Toastface is a 10 walk from my office, one bite and you would walk half an hour! These guys make the best toasties in Perth (IMO & let’s face it, that’s the only one that counts)
I’m working my way through their menu. Service is quick & it’s hipster all the way, fashionable milk crates & all.
I usually head back to work with my toastie to give it time to cool.
My current fave is the B.A.G — bacon, apple, gouda & onion

This place is called Toastface Grillah, which is absolutely genius and I therefore feel I don’t need to give you anymore reason to go here.
But seriously, if you’re after a fast lunch to take away or even if you just want to tell your friends that you ate toast in a venue called Toastface Grillah, you really ned to get here ASAP.
I am boring/​safe with my lunch choices and went with an Ol’ Faithful toastie (ham, cheese and sweet pickle sauce) plus an iced latte and it was genuinely one of the better lunch experiences of my life.
Service is fast and friendly, seating is sparse and mostly made up of rickety crates, so don’t go here expecting anything fancy. The toasties are served in the most GORGE cardboard boxes, which are just screaming for an Instagram post.
Get on it! Get Grillah!

Down a little alleyway you’ll find the king of toasties. Limited space to sit but you can always take off. Staff are amazing and hilarious! Ordered the brie and jam and it was so delicious. Can’t wait to try out the pear grillz!

Before I begin, let me say, that for a «Toastie place» they make OUTSTANDING coffee.
On the other hand, this place is just literally a toastie joint. There’s no question you could make these yourself at home but their toasties certainly are original and are extremely delicious. I’ve had the Danny Zucho twice and was thoroughly impressed with the favour.
The pricing is extremely fair as well (below $ 10) and there’s always been a short waiting period despite being busy at times.

Nutshell: Overhyped & only 1 sandwich is good.
The good: Old Faithful sandwich is everything I want in a grilled sandwich. Containers are good for takeaway. The bread used is awesome & I wish I could buy loaves for home.
The bad: I’ve been back 4 times & tried something new. They are either flavourless or awful. The seating while you wait is awful & the wait is huge for the food you get.
Go once & get the Old Faithful. Don’t go back for anything else.

This is a great example of a business that knows what it’s good at and does not lose sight of that with all kinds of random useless fluff.
If you want great grilled sandwiches in a chill atmosphere this is where you go. There isn’t much else, but that’s how it should be.
Tight, focused and delicious. Great breakfast/​brunch location, highly recommended.

Toasties out of my Breville sandwich press never taste this good. Mine are sad, squashed little toasties and the cheese has oozed out onto the sandwich press, none of that at TG. It’s full hipster but who cares, the toasties are delish, the prices are right ($ 7.5 for a toastie is pretty good in Perth!) and the wait isn’t too long.
Eftpos available. Minimal seating but people move through pretty fast.

Love this sneaky little place! Lovely staff, coffee & toasties but the BEST thing about this place is; the slices they have on the counter! The salted popcorn snickersy amazingness of one of the slices is incredible! I bought two for the weekend! Need to try the other kinds but I bet they are as good!
Cash only place so make sure you have some $$ or you will have to run around to woolies to the ATM.

Love love this place. A tiny, grungy shop with small semi-​outdoor area serving toasties, coffee and juices. It’s a simple concept, but everything is done so well that it’s a top spot for a quick bite to eat and a caffeine fix.
I tried both the steak toastie and the one with jamon serrano and both were great. Prices are reasonable and it’s a place I’ll definitely visit again when in town.

I’ve had Toastface Grillah in my Unilocal bookmarks ever since I heard about Ghostface Killah doing a surprise Hip Hop set on the back of a ute here (
)
You know you’ve made it when a café uses your name as a pun. It’s really genius because it also perfectly explains their simple menu in two words. Don’t come here expecting poached eggs and avo on toast. Nope, you’ll have the choice of a short menu of toasties to select from and they’ll get freshly made while you wait in the ghetto courtyard.
Simple box seats, hip hop playing on the speakers, toasties served in paper boxes and a layer of grunge that is borderline gross, but still rather charming. Picture a college dorm where the priority is drinking beer rather than vacuuming and you’ll have a good understanding of the vibe here. It hardly matters though when you take a bite of that hot steaming toastie. In fact it kind of enhances the experience of having molten cheese drip on to your hand as you try and shovel the goodness in to your mouth.
Don’t overthink it. Just go and enjoy!

Ah toast face, is anything more humble yet rewarding than the toasted cheese sandwich? I don’t think so; and these guys have hit upon some fancy versions that offer a lot of variety whilst still keeping that comfort food from being turned into something else.
I cannot even recommend one selection overt another they are all good in their own way depending on your mood; better yet if you have the time you can sit back and relax to some funky beats.
The only downside is that seating is minimal and being in an alleyway you cannot easy overflow outside, but I simply choose to be more creative with my patronage times.
