About The Old Boy Cafe

Skip the standard sit-down breakfast for crisp, toasted jaffles and smooth espresso tucked off Canning Highway. This Applecross pit stop keeps morning routines simple—delivering hot pressed sandwiches and chewy house-baked Anzac slices with friendly, familiar counter banter. Furry walking companions even get their own treats at the door while you sip a clean iced latte.

  • Pressed Jaffles: Golden toasted jaffles serve as the quick, satisfying main event in place of heavy plated breakfast menus.
  • Dog-Friendly Stop: Friendly counter service includes complimentary pet treats for walking companions alongside house-baked goods.
