We loved the coffee and smoothies at Alley's Cats Cafe. The ham and cheese croissants were great value at $9, especially compared to The Purple Goat Cafe's price of $14.50 (dine in) for pretty much the same size! The service was friendly and respectful, and the croissants were a good size. We'll definitely be back soon!

A great stop to get your coffee hit. Also, with a small selection of quick bites. Such as sausage rolls and biscuits. Personally, the coffee had a smooth taste, with no real bitterness . Assuming to please most customers. The sausage roll and Red Velvet cookie were a big hit with my child.

Georgia and Tash are the most lovely barista / staff ever! Always keeping the store in good check and they make amazing coffee. Approved by my Italian exchange student as the best espresso in Perth.
