There’s a new side piece on the Swanbourne scene, and she’s making a play for your coffee affections. From the team behind Daisies Cottesloe and The Other Side comes the cheekily named Side Piece Deli — a stacked-sandwich-slinging delicatessen from some serious coffee connoisseurs.
Locals are in for a treat, because Side Piece is dishing up one of the most innovative breakfast menus I’ve seen in a while (and I mean that in the best way). Forget what you think you know about brekkie. Here, the kitchen crew pulls from Japanese, Indian and Mediterranean influences to deliver flavours that’ll surprise even the most seasoned bruncher. Think avocado toast with yuzu kosho peas, kyurizuke and miso mustard, or a granola bowl dressed up with cardamom yoghurt, rhubarb hibiscus preserve and fresh blood orange. Even humble eggs get an upgrade, slow-cooked and plated on sourdough with whipped brown butter.
By 10am, things get serious with the sandwich menu. Lovers of Japan’s cult-favourite tamago sando will find soft-boiled eggs tucked between pillowy slices of shokupan. There’s also the onion bhaji focaccia with herbed mayo, and a poached chicken sando layered with curry leaf mayo and crispy shallots, but the real showstopper? The flavour-packed fried chicken focaccia, filled with golden Keralan-style chicken, kasundi aioli and pickled onions stacked high.
Of course, you’ll want to save room for something sweet, because the pastry game here is next level. Think buttery pain au chocolat stuffed with chocolate honey custard, cardamom-dusted morning buns, and rotating specials.
While Daisies might be your go-to for a quick grab-and-go, Side Piece encourages you to linger. The sun-dappled courtyard out back is begging you to sit down, sip your coffee and savour the flavours. It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to make your new morning ritual.

23 Of Perth’s Most Beautiful Spots For A Long Lunch
There’s nothing like a long and luxurious lunch to make you feel like you’re living your best life. No other meal has quite the same feel to it; there’s something about lingering through the middle of the day, over a meal that’s usually pretty utilitarian, to give you a sense of time and life slowing down for a bit. While the Perth dining scene boasts a pretty laid-back vibe all round, there are some places more conducive of all-afternoon-lunch-affairs than others. So grab your friends, park up for a bite and wind up accidentally-on-purpose staying all day at one of these best spots for a long lunch in Perth!

Raise your hand if you’re an indecisive over-orderer with eyes bigger than your stomach! It’s okay, us too. When met with so many mouth-watering food options, it’s way too hard to narrow down your selection and face potential feelings of regret when you see something you *almost* ordered making its way to the table next to you.
