The Story Behind Our Coffee Shop
Welcome to Espresso Perk U Later, your cozy coffee destination in the heart of East Perth. Founded in late 2023, we opened our doors with a vision of growing the business from humble beginnings, relying on word-of-mouth and community support. Our owner, Chris, is passionate about offering a minimalist yet high-quality coffee experience. We pride ourselves on serving the perfect cup of coffee to everyone who walks through our door, from early-morning tradies to parents enjoying time in the park with their little ones.
What makes us different? We’ve sourced our coffee from the Eastern States to bring a unique and unforgettable flavor profile to Perth’s coffee scene. Plus, our freshly baked croissants and pastries, made daily by Chris himself, bring a taste of Europe to your morning. Whether you’re grabbing a quick espresso or indulging in a buttery pastry, Espresso Perk U Later offers the perfect blend of comfort and quality.
“Chris set Espresso Perk U Later apart from the competition by sourcing beans from Eastern State, ensuring that each brew offered something unique to East Perth locals. From tradies in need of a 5 a.m. pick-me-up to parents heading to the park with their little ones, the café has something for everyone. In addition to the exceptional coffee, Chris bakes fresh croissants and other pastries daily, bringing a touch of European charm to the local café scene.”

What People Think
Loved by East Perth.
Tradies, neighbours and visitors from interstate keep telling the same story: strong coffee, warm welcome, pastries worth the detour. Here are a few in their own words.
So glad we found this place. Visiting from Sydney we were staying around the corner & thought we’d give this place a go. Staff were all so friendly, coffee was awesome & the pastries all looked so mouth watering. We indulged in a cronut & it didn’t disappoint!

Easily the best coffee I have had! Beats out Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. This will be our new local since moving to the area.
