Felix & Co

Felix & Co

A self-proclaimed ‘specialty coffee’ shop, Felix & Co. is serious about coffee and only good coffee. This tinky café makes up in for its diminutive shop size with an extensive coffee menu with more single-origin and seasonal blends coming through the doors than most Aussies have had hot dinners. The food offerings are perfect for those lazy Sundays with a plethora of toasties and sandwiches available.

Architects & Heroes

This narrow and slender café in Subiaco appreciates a minimal décor with simplistic line drawing murals on the walls.

I believe Mo Espresso and Small Print have closed due to radio silence on social media platforms or a lack of any firm official website.
