Perth, by the cup
Australia · 18 hand-picked cafés
Perth sits at the edge of the world and brews like it knows it. Isolated by three time zones from Sydney and Melbourne, Western Australia's capital built a specialty coffee culture on its own terms, nurturing a handful of house roasters -- Twin Peaks, Blacklist, Humblebee, Leftfield, Offshoot, Loot, and Daylight -- that supply an increasingly tight network of owner-operated espresso bars and filter rooms. The CBD hides genuine gems down laneways: Howard's Groove runs a Kees van der Westen Spirit espresso machine beneath an office tower on Howard Street, while Small Print bakes croissants and pulls Dukes-roasted shots in the basement of Brookfield Place. Smooth Operator anchors a restored heritage building on Milligan Street and has championed Twin Peaks beans since day one.
