Fidel’s Cafe

Relaxed and homely are definitely two words that fit the description of this place. when you walk through the indoor restaurant it feels like yuo are walking through someones home.
The best reason to come here are the pancakes or for those gluten-​free unfortunates, you should come for the substantial celiac friendly offerings.
It is hard to fault this place but if you appreciate fast and professional service you may find issue with the members of staff here that fit into the relaxed vibe. You will still get your meal but it may come with a few quirky little habits from your server. To me this makes the place even more welcoming.
You can sit for hours eating your Sunday brunch and not get brushed along.
Oh and free WIFI! Bonus.

Like the majority of Perth’s best café’s, Fidel’s is literally a hidden gem. I used to walk past it all the time and see the curious residential style building which says «Angels Café» on the outside and swear I would one day visit. On a leisurely stroll over to High Street one day, me and my friend decide to stop in at Angels Café, which I’m told is now Fidel’s Café, and see if it’s quaint exterior extended within.
We were definitely in for a treat! Because Fidel’s is located inside an old house, one gets the sense that they’re popping over to a friend’s place for tea. There’s scuffed wooden floor boards inside, a fireplace with enormous couches upholstered in a floral pattern to your left and a vine-​filled court yard straight ahead. We’re greeted as soon as we walk through the door, so we’re off to a very good start.
The register, immediately on your right, has a display of home made cakes, gluten free options, and inspirational quotes stuck everywhere. Definitely loving this place within 5 minutes! The sign about unattended children being sold to the circus also made me giggle.
I think sitting outside is the best option, especially if it’s a lovely sunny day. I ordered my usual long black and can definitely testify that it definitely hit the spot. Just strong enough, just large enough for what we paid, not too bitter, and served with a side of creamy soy milk. To top it off, the also accept EFTPOS (some little cafes in Freo don’t), and they have free WIfi!
