About Nic and Kolo

Nic and Kolo reimagines Perth brunch with bold Asian-Australian flavors, pour-over craft, and breezy Ardross Street outdoor dining. Regulars bypass classic toast for the signature Benedict—poached eggs spooned over a golden, crisp-fried mac and cheese slab that yields into pure molten creaminess. Tables fill fast with groups splitting cinnamon scroll pancakes alongside savory plates of miso salmon or son-in-law eggs. The drink order is just as distinctive: cold-whisked iced matcha layered over fresh strawberry or ripe mango bits rather than sugary syrups, finished with balanced flat whites pulled right on pace.

  • Mac and Cheese Benedict: Crisp-fried mac and cheese patties replace standard toast under poached eggs and rich hollandaise.
  • Fresh-Fruit Matcha Program: Layered iced drinks made with fresh strawberry and mango pieces instead of commercial purées.
  • Eclectic Fusion Menu: Asian-Australian cafe fare featuring son-in-law eggs, miso salmon, and vegan-friendly plates.

  • Fresh-Fruit Specialty Matcha Program

    Specialty iced matcha beverages are crafted with real strawberry and mango pieces layered on the bottom rather than pre-made fruit syrups.
