Serve Quality Coffee & Pastry

Immerse yourself in a true café experience.

In late 2023, Espresso Perk U Later opened its doors in East Perth with a simple idea: quality over quantity, in every single cup.

Chris sources beans from the Eastern States for a brew you can’t get anywhere else, and bakes fresh croissants and pastries every morning – a touch of European charm in the local café scene.

So Glad We Found This Place

“So glad we found this place. Visiting from Sydney we were staying around the corner and thought we'd give this place a go. Staff were all so friendly, coffee was awesome and the pastries all looked so mouth watering. We indulged in a cronut and it didn't disappoint! Next time I'm in Perth I will definitely pay Perk U Later another visit.”

Easily The Best Coffee I've Had

“Easily the best coffee I have had (beats out Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide). This will be our new local since moving to the area — a great little cafe nestled in East Perth. Food is well priced and tasty, coffee is amazing and strong, and the staff and owner are some of the friendliest people you will meet.”

A Really Beautiful Café

“A really beautiful café! The service was very friendly and food came out quickly. We got the Reuben sandwich and açai bowl, both of which were really good. Coffee was also great!”
