Harvest Espresso

Harvest is always enjoyable, it’s a shame they can only accommodate few tables due to the size… Had the chicken today which is amazing and the matcha latte is just right we sat outside, food came out quickly and staff is friendly and helpful

This place really depends on when you visit. First time I went the food was okay, service not good but this time it was better. Staff actually told me about ordering at the counter and were much friendlier. My meal was also better prepared. I had the Wagyu bresaola which was good although the quail eggs were pretty gard boiled. There was a lot of greenery and Wagyu and I really liked the brioche although it wasn’t much of a serving size for the price. Quality this time was good although they really need to tell you about the hefty 15% public holiday surcharge before slapping it on the bill. My coffee was nice but my friend’s matcha latte was quite gritty. It is a slightly limited menu and expensive but good most times.

Nice and different menu, which is recommendable. Place was packed so maybe the food was slightly rushed as it was slightly undercooked (chicken and omelette)

It was my fav café and I still like it now! Like their idea of changing menu every season and definitely in love with their matcha latte!

Have been here for breakfast three or four times now and this place is a winner. It does the best coffee in Perth — in my opinion. The breakfasts are always such crazy dishes and combinations you wouldn’t expect to work, but they always do. Who thinks to have roasted cauliflower or pork belly with black pudding for breakfast? Absolutely crazy! But it tastes amazing and they’re dishes you will always remember. The flavour combinations are always spot on, this place is well worth waiting in the line it attracts most mornings. We will always come back to this gem #goodfoodofperth

If my review was based on food alone I would give 6 stars if i could, but unfortunately there’s other factors to take into consideration! So firstly, yes the food is amazing. Last winter I went there especially to try the famously instagrammed french toast which did not dissapoint, and recently went to try the brioche crab melt which again was just amazing and perfect! If they gave Michelin stars to cafes I’m sure Harvest would get one for their amazing creations! Their coffee is also good but the clear winner is their matcha latte which is creamy and delish, the best I’ve found in perth. I tried a dirty matcha latte this time which comes with a shot of espresso — sounds weird but it works really well!
Ok so my issues are that it’s way too small inside and the outside tables are in full sun at breaky/​brunch (i got really sunburnt) and they don’t take bookings so you just have to turn up and wait for a table. Also, after all that waiting/​burning they want you to order at the counter but they won’t do separate billing! Also there’s not really any room for prams or highchairs so not baby friendly unless you go when nobody else is there!

Harvest espresso is very well organised and know how to handle busy days as we got a table 5 minutes after arriving despite how busy it was. Food was served instantly and delicious! We highly recommend trying the pork belly.

Doing some work for a client in the area, I decided to stop by for lunch on a Monday afternoon. It was 43 degrees that day and only outdoor seating was left, but that wasn’t an issue as I was cooled by the fruit smoothie I ordered.
The client office was right across the road so it was literally steps away. Despite being quite busy, with all the seats inside taken, service was pleasantly quick, with staff that were more than happy to answer my menu-​related questions (I still mispronounce words like acai and quinoa).
I ordered the braised pork belly with eggs, and although I wasn’t entirely sure what the dark-​coloured towers were, they were delicious nonetheless!
They don’t do split billing here, so keep that in mind when coming in a group.
I’ll definitely be coming back!

Harvest is a tiny establishment with a loyal following of regulars. It’s always a job to get a table but, if you manage to visit during a slow period (ha!) the food will never disappoint.
Despite being a smallish local café, Harvest prides itself on providing seasonal, restaurant quality dishes with unique ingredients such as umeshu cream, bottarga, brioche, local crab and morcilla (say waaat?). Each plate is garnished with micro herbs and the housemade cakes are as beautiful to look at as they are to eat.
During my most recent visit, I sampled the silky roasted eggplant with cumin minted yoghurt, bottarga toasted almonds, pomegranate and a soft-​yolked egg. Incredibly delicious, a hint of smokiness, beautifully presented on the plate.
The café also has an interesting beverage list including a list of (presently fashionable) matcha items which look rather spectacular on the table (check out their photographs on Harvest’s Instagram). Whilst I’m not a fan of matcha, I can happily attest that they serve quality smooth, deliciously-​caffeinated coffee also.
This place does not allow for split billing so be prepared (with cash) if you’re going as a group. They also insist that you order and pay all at once rather than visiting the register individually and quoting your table number… rather inconvenient, methinks, though I can understand their reasoning.

Sunday morning, there was a wait for a table here we were told 20 mins. We were seated within this time, coffees came out reasonably quick, however mine was luke warm, will have to remember to ask for it hot next time.
Food arrived few minutes after coffees. Roasted egg plant dish looked interesting I was excited to taste and dig in. The flavours were fresh and light, serving size was decent. My partner went for the full breakfast and something filling, the eggs were poached perfectly, pork sausage were gourmet and tasty.
The venue is small and casual and service is prompt.
This place is also in entertainment book.

Have only visited this café 3 times as it’s always a mission to get a table. Have never been disappointed with the food though. It’s always presented nicely and pretty and tasted amazing too.
Always love how friendly the staff are — even though they are always under the pump. Looking forward to trying the pork belly dish — hopefully soon :)

I’ll start by saying, yes the food was delicious. I’m not going to lie.
We had the salmon with poached egg and the beef cheek which was quite rich, but full of flavor.
However the place is very small and claustrophobic which is not for me.
I also wasn’t impressed with their one payment/​order per table policy.
My friend went to order her meal, and was told we could only make one payment for our whole order.
Even if I went up to order my meal separately. I’ve never come across a place that does that.
I’m not sure why they do this but it was really annoying.

Mushroom omelette was amazing. Also, the coffee was great too. Have been to Harvast few times now, and it has always been a great experience.

Although being incredibly small in size, the atmosphere in this café is cosy and the food is great. I ordered the mushroom omelette and substituted the toast for wilted spinach which they had no problems doing (which can often be a bit of a mission at other cafes). I also tried a Matcha Latte for the first time here, and very much enjoyed it. Imagine a green tea version of a chai latte. Service was incredibly quick, which was a surprise considering how busy it was.
A quick word of warning, we did have to wait about 10 minutes for a table (which I hear is common). But it was worth it, and was compensated for by such speedy service.

Love this place. It’s absolutely tiny and you have to wait for ages to get in but it has perfect coffee and a very innovative menu. I love the concoctions they come up with and wish they were in bigger premises so I can come more often!!!

Luscious, salty, free range bacon with perfectly poached eggs on GF toast, wilted spinach and was that a fresh chopped herb sprinkled on the top of the grilled tomato? Gee, sure I’m hungry but this is so good. At $ 21.50 this would feed the Captain or three sista girls.
The menu is short but clever with healthy but not precious options and I’m loving the modern all day approach to food.
Small space with modern warm industrial recycle décor, but it’s the coffee that will bring me back with the Captain. Using single origin Columbian Five Senses on a Ruggero barista produced a hot, strong brew with no bitterness and a malty almost lemony underbite. I’ve usually had enough halfway through a long black but I’m draining this one. The thick 70s cup kept it hot while I ate too, a pleasure not often realised.
Attractive, friendly staff who appear to enjoy their work in this small but clever café, along with healthy, simple and modern food that won’t leave you with a downer from nasty ingredients.

This place has been on my to-​visit list for as long as I can remember. I’ve drooled over countless Instagram shots of meals here and totally lived up to my expectations!
I craved pancakes, so I was drawn to the sweet option– waffles. Lance is less of a breakfast fan than I, finding often the options all seem like a variation of toast, eggs and bacon. This isn’t the case at Harvest, so he was tossing up between three options, before settling on the pulled pork ciabatta. He orders his usual Mocha, and I went for a dirty Matcha latte. This was served with the ‘dirty’ on the side, so I can taste the matcha first before adding the espresso shot. The matcha was the perfect balance of sweet and grassy, and the coffee added the required bitter kick and caffeine boost.
The ciabatta came out and my first impression was ‘all coleslaw, no substance’. Then I had a bite. I was completely wrong. There was actually a thick meaty layer of pulled pork on the roll. The pork was pulled, then fried to get delicious crunchy tendrils — like carnitas. The coleslaw was fresh and crunchy, and the sauce creamy. After eating half, Lance said he would’ve like a dipping sauce. That it didn’t need it, but he would enjoy a side of a smokey BBQ style sauce, or a spicy sauce to dip it in. This is something we’d come across travelling, and it’s stuck with him. I thought it was refreshing that the pork was presented as it was, with the flavour of the meat shining, rather than disguised in BBQ sauce, but can still see where he was coming from.
My waffles were wonderfully plump with the exterior crisped to perfection. The poached pears still had a bite, the strawberries tasted like strawberries! The jasmine cream was a sweetened whipped delight, it wasn’t overly floral, I actually thought it had a chocolateyness to it. The bergamot gel was similarly subtle, but these two floral elements as well as the petals decorating the plate still added a definite flavour boost. And to top it off was the unexpected bits of popping candy that added a textural depth, delivering the flavours, rather than just coming across as just a gimmick.
We enjoyed our breakfast so much, we went again next weekend! Lance ordered the same ciabatta while I crossed another off the Autumn menu. I got smoked cod with potato rosti, snow peas and a slow cooked egg. On it’s own, the smoked cod borders on too salty, but eaten as a whole it was all perfectly balanced. The rosti crisp on the outside, the snow peas thinly shredded with a nice crunch. The egg oozed it’s rich yolkyness over the whole situation, blending in with the velvety bagna cauda sauce. The dish was also incredibly filling. I really didn’t need to eat the whole thing, but I did. And then skipped lunch!

I love this place. It might be small and there’s always a line — but the food is always spot on in appearance and taste. Love their new spring menu with the gourmet mixed mushrooms and the beef tongue on grilled polenta. Definitely one of my favourite breakfast spots in Perth.

Have to admit I was a little underwhelmed by my visit to Harvest Espresso. It’s probably my own fault though that I eat with my eyes and all my expectations had been based on food porn on Instagram, and I wasn’t there for breakfast so didn’t enjoy the same delights I’d seen posted. I also didn’t know what to expect in terms of the venue layout /​décor. As it turns out it is pretty small and squishy. I had to ask a couple if they would mind if we sat at the table next to them — although it was a separate table I felt I should ask out of courtesy because it is a bit of a squeeze.
On a positive I had my first green tea matcha latte and I loved it! So tasty and creamy, which, for a black tea drinker, I wasn’t sure if I’d like. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it was hotter though, and my friend commented her chai latte was tepid as well. They also sell raw treats courtesy of Raw by Chris /​Tales of a Kitchen. Good for afternoon tea and I think I’ll enjoy it more next time now I know what to expect.

I was in Perth for work and after posting a quick message to Perth Unilocalers, it was recommended that I check this place out.
Thank you Perth Unilocalers, what a fabulous breakfast! I had the gravlax and was super impressed. It was a generous serve, featuring perfect poached eggs, house cured salmon, rocket and radish salad, potato rosti and an amazingly thin, delicate crispy bread that was flavoured with a hint of chilli.
Every element on the plate felt like it belonged there and they all complimented each other perfectly. I finished every scrap on my plate!
It was a busy morning in the café — with all tables full — but the staff did not let this stop them from giving great attention to every customer. When a group of 11 people arrived for breakfast (probably the entire seating capacity of the place) they did not hesitate to rearrange furniture and gather chairs in order to seat them all.
A great place that I am sure I would frequent if I lived in the area!
