As a new citizen of Perth, I am having fun exploring the cafe scene local to where I live. One of the first places I went to was a small cafe called IMP. It was a lazy Sunday afternoon and basically Perth is closed for the day. Husband and I ventured out to do some house hunting and then decided to try and find somewhere for coffee before we went home. IMP happened to be open, so we ventured in. Quite a small but trendy establishment that was quite busy for that time of day. We decided to treat ourselves to something sweet as well after we checked out the cake display. I opted for a chocolate cheesecake(divine, melt in the mouth) and hubby chose sticky date pudding. Our coffees were served hot and strong and the cakes were exceptionally good. Overall our experience was very enjoyable and judging by the other customers looking and sounding relaxed they were enjoying themselves as well. I have been back with my children as an after school treat and then went with my Mum on Tuesday for lunch. I needed a 'nanna' nap after all my food(but alas work called and said I had to go in).
Would definately recommend IMP as a place to chill with friends and enjoy good food and service.

Reliable and welcoming, my new local. Coffee's great; try one of the baguettes for good value and tasty lunch. Enjoyed one of the best desserts I've EVER had (rhubarb steamed pudding).

Approximate cost: $10-17

Enter this funky little pocket of Victoria Park and you could be forgiven for thinking you were on Melbourne's Fitzroy St or Brunswick St. The breakfasts were large and organic, the staff edgy (in a good way) and I can't wait to get back there to sample the extensive tapas menu.

Approximate cost: $12
