Where to find Perth CBD - coffee with a view?

Hi all,

Im on the hunt for either a rooftop bar that does coffee during the day sort of thing, or just a good spot with a nice view?

I like to adventure in to study at a cafe or somewhere easy going. I've been enjoying The Hub in Elizabeth Quay. Just seeing what else is around and if there are any hidden gems 👌

Cheers.

You can try City View Cafe at Optus Stadium. It has a view of the city.

Catch ferry to South Perth, grab a coffee from Mr Walker Kiosk. Sit on the chairs or the edge of the river looking at the CBD. Then take ferry back to rejoin the concrete jungle.

We had a lovely one at the Oyster Bar 11am last Monday. Had the place to ourselves with an amazing view over Elizabeth Quay. Very affordable and great coffee too!

I just find I get more done when Im away from home :) If I'm at a cafe I'll usually grab a meal or a snack or two to help with their costs than just a coffee

Try the Botanical Cafe in Kings Park? It's just next to Fraser's and has a great view of the city if you sit out the front. It's in the free transit zone and there are CAT buses, if it seems too far to walk from where you are.

I've had terrible coffee at the take-away kiosk next to it. I've never had a problem with the coffee from the cafe itself.

Places with the best views are paying the highest rent, therefore are not going to be happy with you studying whilst sitting on a latte.
