This is a little further south but well worth the trip. Their baguettes (super skinny long thingies) are great for picnics at Kings Park.

Our fav coffee spot, bit of a trek to get there but a good stop off on the way up to the Swan Valley. If you're there on the weekends try the salted egg donut.

Parks & Nature

Perth's version of Central Park, it is huge and there is lots to explore but for the iconic spots head to Fraser Ave for views of the river and city (day and night views are spectacular). Further down there's a memorial to fallen ANZAC heroes as well as lovely gardens and a mini treetop walk (just follow the many signs) Jacob's Ladder is another spot for fitness freaks to run up. As with all touristy spots please be aware of your surroundings and valuables.
