If you spend anytime in Australia you will realise they take one thing very seriously, they are both connoisseurs and addicts of the black stuff. So this list wouldn't be complete without our favourite cup of coffee in Perth. Head to Little Willies on William Street Northbridge, arguably the best cup in town. Grab a take out and wander the vintage shops up and down this part of town. Perfect for a relaxing Sunday afternoon!
