Visit websiteAbout Cioccolato Espresso
Tucked along Ardross Street, this neighborhood hangout pairs pulled Blacklist espresso with leafy, pocketed seating zones. Regulars cycle in straight off the Swan River foreshore for breakfast burritos and quiet morning catch-ups. Around back, a plant-lined alleyway hides quiet open-air tables, while an adjoining tea room doubles as a gallery lined with an artist's original paintings. The drink menu goes well beyond the standard flat white—think hazelnut-spiked iced chocolates and mugs of rich hot chocolate crowned with a scoop of ice cream.
- Botanical Alleyway Seating: Outdoor tables tucked down a leafy passageway filled with potted greenery for relaxed morning catch-ups.
- Artist-Lined Tea Room: An indoor dining nook lined with original paintings, ideal for quiet conversation and remote study.
- Indulgent Chocolate Bar: Rich hot chocolates served with ice cream alongside cold hazelnut iced chocolate options.

Saqlain “Saqie” Munir Art-Lined Tearoom for Catch-Ups
A dedicated indoor vintage tearoom featuring artist-painted walls provides an intimate, charming setting for shared conversations and meetings.
We met the man who has created all the paintings in the tea room this particular time, so kind and we got to learn a few things about his skills and paintings.
Hope Kerr Accommodating Gathering Spaces
Versatile partitioned seating areas allow friends and colleagues to comfortably settle in for productive discussions or unhurried visits.
The lovely staff offered us seating options and explained the benefits for myself and a colleague - we wanted to discuss business.
