Hannah has been one of my surrogate family for the past three years as we travelled together around the World on an international event. We have stood side by side at so many bars and buffets I lose count and I have the hugest respect for her amazing ability to juggle the demands of a 300 odd strong crew queing at her office needing anything from arm length rubber gloves (don't ask!) to a hug for the homesick.

How to get there
One of the BEST hidden brekkie stops is at the Bookshop Cafe in South Perth on Mill Point Rd. They are open 7 days a week but get super busy on weekends.
They make coffee that even Wally* would approve of (and i think he did?!) and brekkie menu various in choices and prices, between about $8-$18. Smoothies and freshly made juices are also top picks - all produce is local and VERY fresh.
My fav choices are the gourmet scrabbled eggs with goats cheese and chives - joy! - and the blueberry pancakes that are so light that you can actually eat the whole lot and not feel like you just ate a concrete block. Those with a sweet tooth can jump into the homemade cakes selection... but then you may need a little push to roll down the street.
Its great because you can browse through the bookstore, sit inside amongst it or in a quiet leafy courtyard out the back. Parking is at the side or down the back plus you can walk about 150m to the foreshore. bliss.
* note from Beedub - Wally is a guru of all things gourmet - living in Vienna, there is no one I know more knowledgable on outstanding coffee, food and especially wine so consider this high praise indeed...Incidently the coffee from this lovely Cafe kept me going for 2 weeks of being onsite. Its got an amazing atmosphere and the fact that it is always packed with locals says it all.

How to get there
In Melbs, BEST brekkie AND coffee is at the Coffee Roasting Warehouse in North Melbourne. The name gives it away that the coffee is TO DIE FOR, you can select your bean and all the staff are pro baristas so the coffee is perfect. Brekkie is a mix of classic choices and a more unique menu - do not go past the indian eggs, which is poached eggs in a curry type tomato mix with roti bread and fresh corindar, AMAZING! Meals are between about $6-$22. Sitting outside in the rare moments Melbourne isn't raining or inside around the warehouse or in a small back indoor courtyard. Very cute and popular so go early!
