Doric St Cafe and Kitchen

Doric St Cafe and Kitchen is a Scarborough cafe built around breakfast, coffee and an easygoing dine-in or takeaway stop. Located on Doric Street, it presents itself as a place to relax and unwind, with a menu that covers substantial morning meals, lighter options, cabinet food and drinks. The venue is walk-in only, so it suits a spontaneous coffee run or breakfast catch-up rather than a planned booking.

Breakfast is served through the week, with the all-day menu including familiar cafe favourites alongside a few more distinctive choices. The Doric Nutella Waffles come with berry compote, vanilla ice cream, passionfruit syrup and cream, and the cafe says they were voted best in Perth by PerthNow and The West Australian in July 2024. Other named dishes include the Doric St Granola, Japanese Omelette, Nasi Goreng, Eggs Benedict and the Doric Big Brekky. There are also simpler options such as toast, porridge, a mushroom toastie, a BLT sandwich and soup of the day.

Coffee is a clear focus. Doric St works with Northbridge Coffee Roasters on a custom house blend and offers different single-origin blends weekly. The drinks list extends to tea, freshly squeezed juices, smoothies, milkshakes, iced coffee, cold brew, matcha and other specialty options. For customers in a hurry, coffee orders can be sent by text message to the cafe, with details such as the drink, size and sugar preference included.

The offering also makes the cafe practical for families and mixed groups. Children have their own selection of waffles, scrambled eggs, avocado on toast, milkshakes and orange juice, while the cabinet is stocked with cakes, muffins, pastries, wraps and toasties. Couples, friends and solo visitors can choose between a full breakfast, something lighter or a takeaway drink, with the cafe's Scarborough location making it a useful local stop for a relaxed meal or coffee on the go.
