Small Print Baker & Roastery -Overview
Being one of Perth´s few speciality coffee roasters, Small Print is a popular spot in Perth´s busy CBD area. Have you longed for the perfect coffee? This might be the place to check out!
The service here is outstanding! Walking through the doors and being greeted by this jolly team of cheerful baristas sure does make you feel quite happy and welcome. They are incredibly professional and the atmosphere is relaxed and sophisticated all at once. A robust wooden bar in the middle of the room reminds you of a wooden cabin in the Swiss alps and the low ceiling gives the cafe just the right amount of cosiness. The cafe is quite big so on regular days it doesn’t become too crowded and you have the choice between sitting inside or in a nice outside area. The ambiance and location makes it a perfect lunch stop for the busy worker. When it comes to the prices…well it is what you can expect in the busy CBD area, neither the cheapest or the more expensive! The price of the breakfast varies between 6-25 dollars and lunch prices varies between 19-26 dollars.
Whether you are a dedicated coffee enthusiast cultivating your love for the beverage or simply want to enjoy a good cup of coffee together with some delicious food, Small Print will definitely satisfiy your needs. To find this (fairly hidden) hang out,head down St Georges Terrace and you will find the cafe in the basement of the Print Hall.
The cafe is open Monday-Friday 06:30-16:00.
Small Print- Coffee
In a partnership with the Dukes of Melbourne, Small Print source and roast their own coffee beans (you can actually see the huge roaster behind glass walls in the far end of the cafe). Ordering a coffee here is not really the same as everywhere else in the city. Usually, you get beans from the cafe’s own house blend while at Small Print, you can actually choose your own coffee beans. The beans are sourced for all over the world with each origin giving a specific taste palette. Do you want a chocolaty and nutty taste to your coffee? Go with a Brazilian bean! Is it a coffee with more of fruity flavors that floats your boat? Be a dare devil and try the Ethiopian bean. It might be useless to say that the flavor combinations are endless? Don´t worry if your knowledge of coffee beans is not the most solid (or existent even), these guys live and breathe coffee and will gladly give you suggestions what will be a winning combination! Are you already an enlightened coffee drinker? Well, this can be an interesting chance to try some new taste combinations and expand you knowledge even further.
Small Print Breakfast & Pastries
Serving amazing coffee is not the only thing Small Print values, they are also extremely keen on serving good food! Their breakfast menu consists of simple dishes where eggs on toast definitely is the top dog. They use as many seasonal products as possible and of course, as fresh as possible plus that everything is sourced in WA.
No matter what ends up on your plate, you can be sure it has been created with great amounts of love by the wonderful people in the cafe´s own bakery (okay, the vegemite and butter is an exception). Here you can get a wonderful slow fermented bread that takes no less than 24 hours (!) to make. In other words, the bread you order on a Monday begins to get made on a Saturday (see the length these guys go to?!). If your goal is to satisfy your sugar cravings, safe bets to go with are the classic Chocolate brownie, the New York Cheese cake or why not a Lemon meringue.
y use their own custom blend with beans from Guatemala, Brazil and India. Even though the blend changes a couple of times each year, they manage to maintain their typical Mooba taste which is a quite sweet coffee with hints of caramel and chocolate ( you’ll definitely don’t need to add sugar to it). And if it turns out that you love it? Lucky you! Spend a couple of bucks and buy the cafe’s own blend of coffee beans and make your own Mooba coffee at home. For those of you that don’t feel like adding to your daily coffee intake (or you’re not slaves of caffeine whatsoever) the cafe has an extensive drink menu such as juices, milkshakes and smoothies for you to choose from.
What the cafe has to offer might vary from cafe to cafe but most of the cafes are doing basic food such as toasts, healthy breakfasts alternative and “on-the-go lunches”. A key word is definitely health, organic food and raw food. Cookies, muffins and banana bread are big sellers but the biggest seller of them all are the raw balls. Why not taste the superchoc obsession? Are you a parent and you brought your child along? There are other healthy options such as Soul Pops which is made from a 100% fruit or just go with a colourful jelly cup.
Sayers Food – Quick Snapshot
Surely a lot of people that frequently visit Leederville, know about this little treasure. However, for those of you that haven´t, make sure that the next time you are in Leederville, pay a visit to Sayers Food on Carr street.
And now to that caffeine rich beverage that makes the world go round: Coffee. Sayers gets their coffee beans from Five Senses Coffee. If you are not so familiar with the world of coffee, Five Senses Coffee are well known for roasting coffee beans. Depending on what customers seem to prefer, Sayers decides on their own mix of coffee beans. However, the cafe mainly use two types of beans that are sourced from certified Fairtrade farmers in Brazil, Bali and India. Don´t leave the cafe without trying Sayers Honeyaffagato, by far their most popular coffee. Imagine a shot of coffee over a scoop of ice cream with crunchy honeycomb on the top and you´ll get the gist of it.
The cafe serves breakfast/lunch and both menus are extensive and varied. If you are visiting the cafe for the first time and feeling a bit indecisive what to choose (and believe me, the chances are that you will) you can never go wrong with the cafe´s signature dish: coriander and cummin bean tagine, babaganoush with poached eggs and toasted linseed. If you have more of a sweet tooth, don´t miss out on the cafe´s delicious Lime Kaffir cake. For all of you suffering because of the lack of gluten free alternatives when visiting a cafe, here you have found a safe haven! At Sayers you can get gluten free bread, choose from several gluten free cakes (the Lime kaffir cake included) and both the breakfast and lunch menu offer gluten free alternatives.
