Penny's Cafe - Ardross Australia

This cafe is what I would call a hidden gem in Applecross. Splendid coffee and amazing avo toast. The barbecue pork banh mi was out of the world too!

Cute as, tiny and very welcoming, Penny 's Cafe is a gorgeous little cafe nestled amongst shops in Applecross. I 'm a little jealous of those who work near by as it 's the perfect spot to pop in for a weekday lunch or brunch. Visited today with my Nanna for a quick bite to eat and we felt very at home. The interiors are stunning. Very modern and crisp. Love the coffee inspired art on the wall and the pendant lights look beautiful above the cake display and coffee counter. The menu is short and sweet, with daily specials. I was tossing up between the Bacon Egg Sandwich on Brioche yum) and the daily special, but decided on the special which was a Pork Belly Bahn Mi $8.50). We also ordered a coffee and I was happy they had almond milk available. The coffee was piping hot, rich and creamy and the blend was lovely. Loved the large 'bowl ' style mugs they were served in. They were huge! The service was very efficient and our coffees were our very quickly, followed by our food. I made the right choice ordering the Bahn Mi. The flavours were very traditional and could have come from a side of the road vendor in Nam. The pork belly was crunchy and crisp, adding a gorgeous texture to the dish. All of the ingredients were very fresh and tasty. Such stunning presentation too. What a gorgeous coffee shop. We will be back for sure!

Best name for a cafe ; Lovely coffee, lovely staff, lovely cafe. But they must find it difficult to offer a point of difference. It's not much of a detour off Canning Hwy for those of us doing the west-east commute and it'd be great to have a real good reason to do so. Special packed lunches to go? Pre-ordering for coffees? Donuts from The Banker (mmmm! or delights from Little Sweet? Real banh mi rolls? Just some ideas. Hmmm...

This tiny cafe tucked away behind a bunch of offices in apple cross was one of those finds that you just want to rant and rave about to anybody that would listen. The staff were nice and friendly from the moment that you step through the door and they seemed to know the names of everybody that came in for coffee. The coffee is roasted but blacklist, a local roaster who also supply sprolo, one of my favourite cafes, and using a La Marzocco Linea Classic, the coffee is really something. But it's not just the coffee that's great, the food looks absolutely delicious. All the food in the displays is made in house and that home made feel makes it taste so great. The breakfast menu is small but all the food sounds so good. I had the brioche bun with bacon, egg, cheese and hp sauce. It was really nice and the flavours worked really well together. Overall I'll definitely be back soon to try more of the delicious treats in the cabinets and to try more of the wonderful coffee.

First time here. The food was excellent! Environment is friendly and clean. The atmosphere feels welcoming. RECOMMENDED.
