Boucla

I had the $11 vegetable tart (zucchini, mushroom, capsicum, cream egg mix) Light and fluffy mix, the veg were nice but not very well distributed across the layers. $6 savoury muffin (corn relish, feta, sundried tomato, spinach) not super "scone" like, more a muffin (YAY) slightly salty, Beautiful colours to it, warmed, Shakshuka was super bright and frangrant. Cute spot, lots of seating options, nice staff, lots of issues with delivering to right tables tho....

I tried the Birria Brisket Benedict and it was absolutely delicious! It was my first time trying this dish and I was blown away by the flavor and texture. The meat is just outstanding — truly a showstopper! Highly recommended!

Such yummy food. I spent my birthday here on the public holiday and wasn’t disappointed. We had a little outside table in the sun. It was hard to choose what to eat as all the items on the menu looked amazing. I had the zucchini fritters with the potatoes. Food portions were generous and we were all full as a goog when we left. I’ll definitely be back to try more.

I go here a lot and that says something. Breakfast is very good, and their Turkish Eggs are outstanding. My partner typically gets the avocado breakfast, and sometimes we mix in their eggs bennie. No matter what you get, I think you will like it

Edit July 2025: another visit. Another great lunch. Our first visit to Boucla. Everything was delicious. Great strong latté. Mrs C reports that the hot chocolate was very good. With extra chocolate buttons to add. She loved her scrambled eggs and I thoroughly enjoyed the Shakshuka. With the chorizo. Highly recommended.

Enjoyed breakfast at Boucla today! Interesting menu choices all with distinct offerings which vary from the norm.We had Turkish Egg and Shakshuka - both lovely flavours served with warm bread.The only let down was the very weak lattes. Def recommend eating here!

I discovered this cozy spot in Subiaco that’s perfect for coffee and cake. The environment is inviting and the service is great. Highly recommended for a relaxed break or casual meet-up.

Burnt toast with brisket Benedict and the chef tried to hide it at the bottom. I really don’t understand who is he trying to fool. It’s not like customers cannot taste it easily and find out anyway. This sort of behaviour will 100% makes a customer dissatisfied. How much effort is it anyway to simply re-toast 2 peaces of bread that is worth almost nothing? The service staff did offer to replace it but I didn’t have time to wait.

This place is WONDERFUL!!! Same owner as the Lady of Ro next door, I could totally envisage myself spending the day at Boucla and then end the night at Lady of Ro. I'm a huge fan. The soufra I had was absolutely heavenly, and the cappuccino was very very creamy.

If I had a yia yia then this is what I imagine her house would look like filled to the brim with foreign cushions, evil eyes, tapestries, ornate decor and sumptuous food. Unfortunately my favourite gigantic rose and ginger Turkish delights no longer seem to be on offer. However the Rosewater meringues are a must, they also have beautiful cakes that you can buy by the slice and backlava and other decadent syrup coated Greek sweets. They also have salads and other Greek food staples on offer. I can't go past their Pastitsio a dish resembling lasagna but made with macaroni. Garfield eat your heart out! I'm also a fan of their Spanakopita which is made with light flaky airy pastry and filled with spinach and feta cheese.

Decide to go here for breakfast. What great little place. It looks tiny when you walk in but there is lots of room at the back including an alcove that is small but cute. It is quite tight when trying to pass other people. The breakfast I ordered came out all burnt which was not a pleasant experience which include potato rotis that were black underneath. The coffee was was tasty & came out in a beautifully patterned mug. I discovered after heading outside to the toilets an amazing little garden oasis. I couldn't resist & ordered another coffee & sat & read another chapter of my book. It was divine out there. The reason this place is getting 4 stars is the interior & exterior which is so different to all the usual cafe designs. Even though it is a bit off the Subiaco beaten track it pulls in a good, steady flow of customers.

Shuffle your way past the queue of people clustering to get in their order of coffee and cake, and you will feel like you've stepped inside a nook of a Turkish Bazaar. Boucla is a trinket filled lair that caters mouth-watering food and a beautiful interior. A fabulous melting pot of Persia, Turkey, Morrocco and Egypt. Everything about Boucla is authentically Middle Eastern. A narrow walkway between entrance and tables makes it hard to move around, and counter service would probably suit this tiny cafe better, but that probably wouldn't suit the attitude of the people who work here. By all means don't get in their way and don't ask stupid questions. On more than one occasion I've had my queries on the daily offerings, be met with a dark stare and sarcastic response. Customers are often made to feel like a nuisance at this place. Despite it being a bit of an obstacle, I'm actually strongly supportive of Boucla's pokey design. With larger expanses, Boucla would loose the magical ambience that makes it so special. I love retreating to a dimly-lit corner of this richly decorated café to enjoy my food. Bordered closely by neighboring diners, it takes me back to the bustling pocket-sized tearooms of Istanbul. The main cause for praise at Boucla is the food. They make the most deeeeelicious cakes from home recipes you wont find anywhere else. Plum cake, white chocolate/raspberry, syrup soaked Soufra and my favorite- the Chocolate-Ricotta take. TO DIE FOR. The coffee is top-notch and I also adore their array of bean-y salads and flaky pastries stuffed with minced meats and cheeses. So if you can overlook the arrogant staff and cramped seating, I think you can love Boucla as much as I do.

I wish only that I have multiple stomachs. Boyfriend and I came here for an afternoon snack and adored the sweet soufra. It's flakey crumbling pastry sat over a layer of eggy custard and topped with luscious pistachios. We also had the ricotta chocolate cake which he enjoyed (I'm not much of a chocolate fan) because of its crunchiness but we both agreed that it was nothing amazing compared to the soufra. The baklava was a bit too sweet and not very special. I will be back to try the savory Persian slippers and the beautiful and authentic ambiance. A great place for a catchup. Coffees were also done to perfection. Flat white was excellent here. I recommend deciding on a place to sit (check the patio out back and to the right) before ordering since they'll ask where to deliver your coffees when you order. There's parking at the rear of the cafés and free one hour parking on street out front.

I had a wonderful piece of chocolate and ricotta cake and a coffee at Boucla this afternoon. This cafe is a treat for breakfast, lunch or cake. Boucla has an amazing array of cakes which all have that special homemade and fresh quality. The food is all fresh and very flavorful. They make a mean coffee and even a tasty chai latte. The space is fairly small and heavily decorated so if you are easily overwhelmed by lots of sensations this might not be the place for you.

Agree on food with all the previous reviews. Front of house staff could pick up on service. Kitchen 5stars service 2 stars. Definitely try the cakes they are memorable.

Strolled down here on a Saturday morning and discovered the most perfect breakfast to aid my post-Christmas party recovery. Crispy potatoes, mushrooms and pancetta with sourdough toast with an awesome flat white. Oh yes I will be returning ...

A haven of Mediterranean (especially greek) food, including classics like Moussaka, Spanakoptica, greek salad and Baclava, as well as lesser-known-but-equally-as-delicious dishes like persian slippers (lamb pastry parcel) and sweet and savoury souffras (layered pastry tart). They also have some more straight forward dishes for your picky friends, like frittata and salmon bagels. I am consistently impressed by the food, yet also consistently confused by the service. They used to be a very surly bunch, then the new crew was more relaxed but I did receive a rather passive aggressive reaction when the barista made me the wrong coffee when I was last there. However I wouldn't let this deter you, it all seems to be a part of the chaos of this small and always crowded cafe, and besides the owner is really lovely.

With heavy decor and dark corners Boucla is a haven away from Rokeby Road, once inside you are teleported to a cosy, homely cafe with plentiful cakes, sweet treats and wonderful Greek cafe food. Item of choice for me was the spanakopita , flaky pastry stuffed full of feta and spinach with a lightly dressed side of greens - perfect for a weekday lunch. Didn't partake in any cakes this time but gosh you could just stare at them for hours on end.

Boucla pays homage to the art of serving delicious Middle Eastern inspired food in a trendy kitsch surrounding reminiscent of Aladdin's cave. The quality of the food is second to none. The recipes have been tried and tested to meet the level of flavour required to appear on the menu. From fresh salads with interesting sauces, to a selection of meat dishes with uniquely ethnic flavourings, it is no wonder there is generally a line out the door. I was recommended the Bolognese in a filo pastry base/pie by a friend of mine, whom likened the dish to being better than sex. The coffees are excellent and the service is very warm and homely to complement to rustic environment. On the way out make sure you grab some of the Turkish delight for your travels - it will take you to a better place.

Place was beautiful. Very eclectic and greek-ey. But food was mediocre. Husband order the poached eggs, but was served hard boiled instead. Was expecting something better.Nothing to shout about. Feels like the barista was a bit rude to us when we asked is the any table for 3 available. Coffee was really good though. But would not go back.

This place makes the best cakes ever! The chocolate ricotta cake is to die for. It is a cosy space and they do breakfast and lunch as well. Boucla also make delicious coffee, but their cakes are where it is at. You won't be disappointed!

The incredible decorative setting to Boucla is almost better than the coffee or eggs that are cooked by the friendly staff although there aren't many breakfast meals on the menu the food is some of the best I love love the little chocolate chips they put in The hot chocolates as well as the spices they put in the bacon.

Sometimes the tinier the space, the richer the experience. Boucla is certainly testament to this. The innence-infused Turkish eatery feels like its bursting at the seams, with tables crammed inside the cafe, out the front, and in the garden around the back. The large numbers it attracts - for reasons of service, atmosphere, food and coffee (all boxes are ticked here) - makes the space seem even tighter, and further adds to the bustling vibe of the joint. A friend and I had breakfast here yesterday morning and struggled to choose between a table inside (amidst the patterned rug-adorned walls and bold trinkets), or outside where dappled sunlight fell on a bright garden and a couple of wooden tables. Both options were too good so we decided to eat our savoury inside, and out post-savoury sweet out. I had Greek beans and poached eggs on toast (which was packed with zesty, tomato-y flavour) and a freshly-squeezed watermelon and strawberry juice. My friend order a lamb souvlaki wrap which she gave two thumbs up to as well. Next came this giant of slab of what can only be described as salty, custardy, flaky, goldeny, eggy, buttery amazingness. Plus a couple of well-brewed coffees. The service here is so utterly delightful, and the range of baked goods, seriously, was unlike anything I've seen, spread out on the counter, all rustic and half cut, full of pistachios, pastries and sheer turkish delight.

Love this place! The spot to get your coffee on the way into work. Be prepared to wait (check your work email!) but it's worth it. Using Crema coffee beans, I've yet to experience a burnt or too hot cup. The food is impressive, even the takeaway muffins are great.

Wish I could give it more than three stars because the food was amazing! We went on a busy Saturday morning and I had the breakfast bruschetta which was indeed very tasty! However unfortunately the service was atrocious. It took a terribly long time to order, and then ever more time for the food and drinks to arrive - and even then only after they got the drinks wrong twice. I'd consider going back if the service improved as the food is really great.

Always jam packed with people - gotta be a good sign right?? Just up the road from my office so the coffee aroma wafts its way down and temptation can be hard to resist. Service is friendly and efficient, coffee is always on point and their turkish delight is a wee naughty treat that has to be tried!! Rarely fails to please.

Fred makes the best coffee I've had in Perth - period.

I came here on a wet and rainy Friday afternoon for lunch and was pleasantly suprised by the choice of lunch options. You could have Greek salad or a Persian slipper with meat and vegetables in a pastry,soup or other pie/pastry options. For $16 and a side salad in Subi, I thought it was relatively good value - I had the Persian slipper and found it very tasy. And you didn't have to wait long for the food - perfect for me! The cakes on offer looked delicious but as I prefer 100% rich chocolate nothing stood out for me. Had I wished to experiment with pistachio, chocolate, nuts, brownies - I could have had any number of cakes. It's an interesting ambiance - a mixture of Turkish, middle eastern and European. I enjoyed coming here - some of the staff weren't the friendliest but the food was delicious - I would come here again!!

Walking into Boucla is like walking into another place. It is a small cafe crammed with middle eastern style antiques and tables, kind of like a Turkish or Moroccan bazaar. I mean crammed, it is a bit of a mission to get around in this place. It also makes watching the staff deliver the food a bit of a performance piece. The atmosphere here is relaxed and casual. If you are lucky you get a seat in one of the small nooks that make this place special or outside in the garden. The food is brilliant. I have been coming here for years and I have never had a bad meal. The coffee is excellent. The selection of cakes is great. They are moist and sweet. The serving sizes are good. If you order a hot chocolate they give you hot milk and chocolate pieces on the side, so you can make it just like you like it. Here is the catch to this charming cafe - the staff. They are abrupt and sometimes rude. They do not smile or chat or ever give the impression that you are not inconviencing them with your requests. I am used to it now and don't expect much.

I've only had cake and coffee (twice). The cakes are beautiful, innovative and utterly unlike the usual 'cheesecake shop' style cake found in so many cafes. Many are decorated with edible flowers and they taste even better than they look. The cafe is small and can be crowded, but there are lots of little nooks and crannies for out-of-the-way seating.
