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.

The Nic and Kolo Advantage

Why locals and visitors choose Nic and Kolo for brunch in Applecross

    Nic and Kolo reimagines the cafe classic by nesting poached eggs on a fried mac and cheese patty base rather than traditional bread.

  • 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.

    Unlike other Mango Matcha's which use pulp or syrup, this specialty drink at Nic and Kolo had real pieces of mango on the bottom layer, which made for a delightful signature touch.
