Perth Cafes With Playgrounds Worth Bookmarking
Let’s be honest—no matter how much you love your little humans, going out for a coffee with kids in tow can be a lot. Between spilled babycinos and escape attempts mid-toastie, it’s not always the relaxing experience you’d hoped for. That’s why finding a cafe with a playground is a game changer.
We’re talking quality coffee, food worth ordering again, and a dedicated play area where your kids can burn off energy while you actually get to finish a hot drink. Sound like a dream? We’ve rounded up the best cafes around Perth that come with built-in playgrounds, so you can caffeinate in peace while they climb, slide and swing their way to nap time.

115 Collective
869 Connolly Drive, Merriwa

Great coffee? Tick. Excellent eats? Tick. Enclosed playground? Tick, tick, tick. There’s not much more you could ask for from a kid-friendly cafe, and yet 115 Collective still manages to go above and beyond. Got an active bub who is definitely not one for chill time and sitting still? Well, the best bit about this place is you can get your caffeine hit (which you probably so desperately need) while the little one is free to run wild in the fenced in nature play area.
The menu is next level—s’mores pancakes, smoky BBQ pulled pork quesadillas, and buttermilk fried chicken served with cornbread waffles, sriracha maple, charred corn and avo salsa. And, of course, there’s a kids menu, stacked with classics like pancakes, eggs on toast, and junior cheeseburgers.
Little T’s

Whether you’re chasing a quick coffee, a bite to eat, or a proper brekky, Little T’s makes it easy—especially if you’ve got toddlers to drag along. There’s a playground right outside, so you can order up and let the little ones burn off some energy while you soak up a few minutes of peace (and drink your cappuccino without any sticky hands reaching for the foam).
It's a sure go-to for anyone with young kids for its no-fuss vibe. You can swing by for a Sunday breakfast without worrying about the kids getting bored. It’s casual, convenient and just works when you need a cafe that actually understands what dining with kids is like.
The Little Banksia
78 Banksia Terrace, Kensington

This cosy Kensington gem might not have a full-blown playground, but the charming little playroom definitely earns it a spot on this list—especially if you’re after a more meltdown-free morning out. Nab the big table inside the playroom and you’ll be able to keep a watchful eye on your little one while tucking into some of Perth’s best pancakes (seriously).
The cabinet is always loaded with amazing looking treats, and the seasonal specials are where it’s at. If you're lucky, the dreamiest bowl of proper porridge topped with pistachio cream might be back on the specials board. Wash it down with a matcha strawberry latte and we can almost guarentee you'll be coming back.

If you take your coffee seriously but also need somewhere that works with the chaos of family life, Laika is the spot. Known for their obsession with specialty beans and flawless pours, this airy, design-led café serves up some of Perth’s best brews without compromising on family-friendly vibes.
While you won’t find toys or a playground here, the open courtyard and on-site basketball court make it a winner for older kids who just need some space to move. It’s perfect for everything from casual brunches to work catch-ups, with plenty of room to spread out—even the family pup is welcome.
Koorak

Parents of Perth know the drill—when you want good coffee and an epic playground in one hit, Koorak in Kings Park is the answer. Tucked beside the Ivey Watson Playground (easily one of Perth’s best for little ones), this cafe is a firm favourite for anyone with kids under six in tow.
Grab a coffee and a bite, then let the kids go wild on the fully enclosed play area while you soak up the sunshine and leafy surrounds. And if they’ve still got energy to burn after that? Take a wander through the parklands or head to the nearby Rio Tinto Naturescape for streams, log climbs and a good excuse to delay heading home just a little longer. Honestly, it doesn’t get more wholesome than this.
Runyeh Coffee
11/99 Caridean Street, Heathridge

How is it even possible to combine next-level coffee, knockout eats and genuinely kid-friendly times? Runyeh pulls it off effortlessly—and that’s exactly why it’s always heaving. Brought to you by Josh McGinnity (the original brains behind Hylin and Laika), this northern abode is a must for serious coffee lovers. With house-roasted blends, rotating single origins, and bottomless batch on pour, caffeine is well and truly covered. Pair that with a Reuben But Different or the cult-status Double Sausage English Muffin and you’ve got a breakfast worth crossing town for.
Parents will appreciate the cute little play space out the back, complete with shade sails for those warmer days. It’s the perfect sweet spot between grown-up café culture and a low-key morning with the kids.
Lark
58 Brighton Road, Scarborough

Lark feels like one of those best-kept secrets parents whisper about at daycare drop-off—and once you know, you know. Open Tuesday to Saturday, this family favourite delivers great coffee, crowd-pleasing food, and all the little touches that make a cafe work when you’ve got the kiddos.
There’s an enclosed playground plus a massive nature play area just outside, not to mention unique indoor nooks if the weather turns. Parking is a breeze, and the whole style is relaxed and welcoming—no judgment if your toddler’s on their third babycino before 9am.
Nourish and Feed

With four locations across Perth and a cult following to match, Nourish and Feed has nailed the art of healthy food that actually tastes amazing—and comes out fast. But we’re here to shout out their Kingsley spot and the small indoor play space perfect for under-fives—a total win for parents.
The menu is packed with fresh, wholesome eats made from scratch—think nourish bowls, wraps, smoothies and raw treats—so you can refuel without the post-cafe food coma. So if you're popping in after daycare drop-off or catching up with friends, it’s a fuss-free favourite for health-conscious parents.

Okay, so it’s not really a cafe—but when the views are this good and the bowls this delicious, we’re making an exception. Sitting pretty on the South Perth foreshore, The Acai Corner is a go-to for parents wanting a casual bite with plenty of room for the kids to roam.
Urban List’s own travel and entertainment editor Renée Ardon-Coppinger swears by it. She says, “It's my go-to spot to lay down a rug and let my little man crawl is The Acai Corner. There’s a huge playground nearby for busy babes to explore while parents can grab a peanut butter bowl and manage a little bit of peace and quiet.”
