What a gem this little cafe. They make the BEST French toast and really nice Gnocchi as well. Owner John is so friendly and makes sure he goes to every table to talk to customers. Looks small from the outside but it goes a long way inside with a nice room for high tea and a nice outdoor seating at the back. Do yourself a favour and try this Cafe. Seriously.

I did order a Muffin, they did heat it and it was super dry so i asked for a fresh cold one. The cold one was everything but not fresh. The Americano was good though.

What do Sayers, Little Willy's, The Dancing Goat, Hobart Deli and Deli Chicchi all have in common? Each of their inventors had beginnings right here at Tarts. Tarts has become somewhat of a write of passage for aspiring café owners and a stepping stone to barista superstardom. It's been around for a while and they still manage to produce some fairly satisfying breakfasts and lunches. True to the name, Tarts also presents a fine array of delectable sweets. The house, come cafe space is dotted with random items of jewellery and clothing for sale. It's a little cluttered and can feel a bit like you're sitting inside a giftware shop. Put simply, Tarts can be considered as the café I used to frequent before the aforementioned cafes stepped on to the scene. Good but average by comparison. Maybe they should work on employee retention strategies?

What a sweet little find in Northbridge. Don't let the outside deceive you to thinking it's not that big. There are some fantastic options in the menu, the hard thing will be to choose what to order. We had the Strawberry Granola Tart, Neptune Fritter and the Potato Head. The Strawberry Granola Tart was visually stunning, full of flavour and colour. The Neptune Fritter and Potato Head were quite similar. Both had perfectly poached eggs and a tasty potato fritter, both come recommended!

I just tasted a cake made by Tarts Cafe and OH. MY. GOODNESS It looked stunning and tasted so light and fluffy. I do not normally even like cake! It was also made last minute for the function I went to. What a talent!

Tarts, near the Hyde Park end of Lake Street, has been a favourite breakfast spot for many years. It is an attractive and welcoming place - busy to be sure - with seating both inside and outdoors. Friendly staff add to the feel. On this recent visit, for breakfast, we were, once more, happy with the food, coffee and ambience- and value. Kicking off with good coffee - smooth, creamy, right temperature - not too hot, but warm enough to bring out the aroma and flavour of the beans - we moved on to the range of breakfast options - much more than simply bacon and eggs at Tarts. The vegan Buddha bowl was a hit. Composed of quinoa, spiced chick peas, lightly fried mushrooms, sweet potato, avocado, spinach all topped with roasted red capsicum sauce, a scatter of sesame seeds and pomegranate seeds - it both looked the part, and tasted it. Complementary and contrasting flavours and textures abound - you could feel it doing you good! Another of our choices - baked avocado filled with a perfectly runny oozy poached egg and smoked salmon, cheesy panko bread crumbs atop along with grilled asparagus, and toast - was yet another of those little bit different but oh so enjoyable dishes. Loved it. Of course for those with a more traditional - dare I say it, staid - breakfast dream, the Grande more than meets expectations. Creamy with soft curds, the mound of scrambled eggs was just right - and with crisped bacon, chorizo, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms and ciabatta was all that an old style brekkie eater could want. Tarts maintains its reputation as a top breakfasting spot - and with other very trendy places in close proximity, its continuing popularity confirms the quality of the Tarts experience.

Tucked away behind the northbridge hotel is this gem of a cafe !! The coffee is perfect every time and the food is amazing !!! I'm not sure what they do to their salads, but yum ! I'm not a big salad eater but at this spot, I cannot leave without one. Today we visited for a quick bite to eat. As we walked in, we were greeted by the owner as if we were long lost family and they truly made us feel so welcome. We were served quickly and the food loved up to the exceptional standard once again !! The owners famous Espresso Martini is to die for. You have try it at least once in your life,

This was by far our best brekky since moving to Perth. Excellent experience overall, including the ambiance, food, and coffee. We first sat outside in front for a while, but moved out back where it was still pretty empty at 9am on Saturday. The back patio has a great feel with around 10 tables surrounded by plants and under large umbrellas; it filled up at ~9:30-10:00 with the brunch crowd. We very much enjoyed our brekky here. We opted for the Savoury Cake with optional chorizo and the Neptune Fritter. Both are gluten free, and both were delicious and filling. Great ingredients that were excellent on their own and produced delicious flavors in combination. The sweet potato and sundried tomatoe fritter in the Neptune may have been our favorite item. Hollandaise was also great. Oh, and perfect eggs. The coffees (latte & cap at first) were very nice. The macchiato was really excellent. Bit more milky than typical, but I'd go back just for that actually. In conclusion total 5 stars for me. 3.5/5 for previous 17 reviews?? Harsh crowd these Perth yelpers!

I am a loyal fan of Tarts as I used to call in for coffee and cake on the weekends on a regular basis. I always found it to be a lovely, relaxing experience, especially if you sit in the garden out back. It is filled with lush greenery and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Fantastic place to bask in the sunshine and enjoy your meal. Recently my colleague and I have been calling in for pre work breakfast. I espied a pulled pork bagel and though it was on the lunch menu I was determined to have it. I was so happy when the chef readily agreed to my request and even omitted the onions for me. This definitely took the service up a notch in my eyes. The pork bagel arrived, beautifully plated and just begging to be devoured. It was a toasted bagel filled with succulent, Plantagenet pulled pork, apple slaw, apple and tomato chutney and arugula. To finish it off, it was drizzled with balsamic vinegar. It was a most delicious start to the day and I savoured every bite! The pork was tasty and moist and the chunks of apple in the chutney really complemented the flavour. I also enjoyed a fabulous macchiato, it was creamy and full of flavour. The whole experience put me in such a lovely, languid mood, I was reluctant to pull myself away and go to work. There is always a cheery, welcome greeting as you step inside and promptly ushered to your table. Service is faultless on every occasion. Do not forget to pick up some delicious, sweet treats from the display cabinet. The walnut tarts and the chocolate mice are my favourites! Also, you may be tempted by the gorgeous, gift items, there is always such a fantastic selection. I spotted an divine, eye catching bag on my last visit and some beautiful silver earrings! So stop by at Tarts famous for more than just the food!

Extra Word: a little hidden oasis, bigger than what it appears from the outside. Also sells nic knacks. Appeared popular with the locals, & business suits. I will return, maybe i will try the cute garden area next visit. There was this white wall that just looked out of place. Needs some blending in. Picky i know, still recieves a 4/5. Service: 2/3, had to refill my own water bottle. Order at the counter, table service with your order. They forgot my coffee, but, thats ok, my first visit, l'll let it slide. Food: - I try not to eat out Drink: 2/3 my choice, coffee only Cleaniness: 3/3 Toilets, cafe... Parking: easy street Bike - street rack nearby Sitting: covers all seating taste, dining table, casual bench & cushion, garden style.

Tarts is a cute little cafe with a homely and welcoming atmosphere, making it a comfortable place to dine. Take a peek at their little fridge and you can see plenty of sweet treats, all made fresh in store. Yes, it can be a bit hard to decide what to get sometimes too. Mum had the Grande breakfast ($24.90) which comprises of scrambled eggs with bacon, chorizo, grilled tomato and mushrooms served with ciabatta bread. If you want a hearty breakfast to make a grand entrance to your day, the Grande breakfast is for you. I had a taste of each element and they are so delicious, from the fluffy scrambled eggs to the perfectly cooked chorizo. For me, I had the potato head ($19.90) which consists of two poached eggs, asparagus, mushroom, spinach and hollandaise sauce on a potato cake. The eggs were poached perfectly with liquid golden egg yolk oozing out, drizzling down to the plate. I love the potato cake at the bottom. Slightly crisp on the outside and soft in the inside complementing well with the creamy textures of the hollandaise sauce and earthy flavours of the mushrooms. One must not leave Tarts without trying out what they are popular for - their homemade tarts! We shared a Raspberry Tart ($6.80). The pastry was perfect, it was crisp and crumbly, complementing well with the sweetness from the raspberries. Overall, we had a great dining experience at Tarts. The service was very friendly and attentive. Tarts Cafe makes a perfect place to catch up over brunch or indulge in their delectable pastries or tarts for afternoon tea.

This place has impeccable coffee! I cannot get enough of it!! Constantly consistent which is a MUST especially when I spend $4.50 to get my daily (or twice daily) caffeine hit! I hate paying for a burnt coffee! - the staff are always friendly, welcoming and make the trips worth the travel, as is the food/s .. 17breakfasts AND serves breaky till 2pm on weekends :) Tarts has been going for several years but I can say that in the owners that are there now, they have spruced it up and given back some love, appetizing meals and friendliness to the streets of Northbridge!!

Went back in time this morning for a breakfast meeting at Tarts. I am not sure why but Tarts having been around for such a long time personally holds somewhat of "musty" persona being on the constant look out for new places to try and not wanting to go backwards. Living locally in Northbridge Tarts is a mere 2 minutes walk away and after today will definitley be back again. We both had the bircher muesli (cant seem to have hot breakfasts on weekdays) presented in mason jars and a reasonable serving size stacked with nuts and berry compote. The coffee was a good temperature and strong enough to kick off the morning buzz. The setting is perfect for meetings; open space, number of seating arrangements and the music isnt too loud. You can tell there is still a strong following here with the "usuals" coming in for a chat and morning coffee pickup which always great to see. Peering over at the hot breakfasts on our neighbours table very excited to return.

I love the team at Tarts as strange and questionable as that sounds. John runs a cool cafe which great food and coffee. Also a big supporter of charity which I LOVE!

I went here for brunch! Food and service was fantastic. Coffee was really good too. This place also sells home decor, cosmetics, jewellery, kids clothing.. The venue has a warm inviting feel, however the furniture wasn't too comfy. Am going back again for a Brazilian degustation this week.

I really love going to Tarts and my mum is the biggest fan- whenever she is in Perth, and also when she did live here, she went there almost three times a week for breakfast! It is in a lovely location on Lake Street in Northbridge and has nice indoor and outdoor seating options. There is a few nick-nacks you buy alongside the food including gorgeous jewelry and a few select bags and clothing. The food there is good, notably breakfast! The prices are a bit expensive depending what meal you get but it is worth it. The service is great too with all staff members being friendly and usually remembering you if you visit there a couple of times!

Catch up lunch with the girls today at Tarts! One of the group suggested this as the venue and I was glad that she did. I rarely come to this part of town. Tarts is situated in the almost North Perth end of Lake Street next to the Northbridge Hotel. The menu is extensive with so many choices! I did notice their breakfast menu can be ordered up to 3.00pm which I thought was useful. Today I started with the Super Smoothie, it was delicious but a little steep on the price for a fairly small serving. It was a difficult choice for lunch as there was such a great selection - I chose the Roasted Tower which was a great combination of stacked vegetables served with hummus and a side salad! Everyone else's meals looked amazing and I will definitely be heading back some time soon to try the other menu items! As a side note on the way in there is a delightful case of deserts and sweets for all tastes (you seriously can't miss it), I purposely ordered salad today so I could fit in cake! Cake and coffee was also great there was lots of dairy and gluten free choices on offer as well which is always a bonus for me and today I chose the roasted apricot, coconut and quinoa cake - it was delicious but I must admit I did suffer a bit of food envy when my friends apple pie was bought to the table!! Definitely worth a visit for that lazy weekend breakfast or lunch!

Tarts is a cute lttle cafe with hidden nooks and a lovely courtyard out the back. Their brunch menu reads very well even if their prices don't. I arrived here on a very busy Sunday so I allowed for a certain element of chaos. I ordered poached eggs on toast with a side of smoked salmon and a skinny chai latte. Ufortunately the coffee wasn't great and was more milk than anything else. The poached eggs were under the guise of scrambled eggs but I had waited too long for the food that I wasn't going to send it back in a hurry. The poor guy serving us our food was shaking like crazy, either it was his first day or he hit the sauce the night before and was struggling, either way he was a bit overly delicate and I got the sense that a baloon pop would have sent him shuddering and screaming.

I've been here before and the service was the bomb! Treated me so well and also my little 3yo cousin was treated like a star. This next time round just seemes a little off. Staff weren't quite as friendly and all seemed quite distracted, hopefully I just caught them on a bad day! Went here for lunch with my sister and was so happy that they brekky until late! Coffee was nice and hit the spot, just not perfect! I ordered the potato cake with asparagus and poached eggs, really yum! Especially that hollandaise sauce- although with all its creamy goodness it needed something sour to cut through all of it. Maybe a tomato or a bit of relish. My sister ordered a seafood pasta which lacked a lot of seasoning ( I saw her adding so much salt and pepper!) But then mine also lacked seasoning as well now that I think about it. I like that it's a mini shop with cool accessories and such to browse and purchase. The outside back area is also gorgeous with the pastel coloured furniture and friendly feel. It's a place I'll come to again and hopefully I can catch them on a good day again!

I've hit breakfast here a couple of times now and can say I'm a fan. Right in the central hub, Tarts is located off the main drag in a secluded part of the old Perth. It's relaxing, laid back with that cosmo flavour attacting people from all walks. I've only done breakfast but did spoil myself wth a custard tart they had at the counter as a treat and can say it was well worth the extra calories. See you again soon.

Tarts is an ok local with good coffee, but I have a major issue with the metal furniture here. It's so uncomfortable and "pokey". I always bang my knees on the tables when trying to sit down or move. It's just badly designed and very awkward. I'm also not a fan of the coffee/makeup/jewellery/ cards/ baby clothes all in one shop. Stick to one thing! Get some new furniture and lose the gift shop side of things and this place would be some competition for Sisters down the road.

Awesome!! Only decided on lunch at last minute on a hot Sunday. Went to a previous visited place just up the road and arrived at exactly 2.00pm only to be told no, kitchen closed at 2.00pm. no point arguing so we left with a view not to return. Called in to Tarts to be warmly greeted by a young lads who assured us their kitchen was well and truly open. Had a chicken panini at the waitress's suggestion and it was magnificent. My wife had "The Italian" and she also thoroughly enjoyed it. Best chips of coffee we have had for a while also and the service was superb. Very cosy set up with dining inside, outside in the back and out front. Great to sure and enjoy the warm weather for 2 hours in a caring atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Bad service and even worse food. I came here for Mothers Day and (with a booking for a different room mind you) we were placed into a cold, stone-walled cellar with rat traps visible on the floor and dust caking on the tables and chairs. After some hassling we were able to be moved to a much nicer spot upstairs however this is where the worst part happened. I received a bagel with a rhubarb preserve. The preserve was extremely unpalatable especially considering it was littered with shards of plastic. Upon notifying an employee he claimed "It is from the container" implying it was supposed to be there. No form of compensation was offered. I do not see myself entering this establishment ever again.

Food is pretty taste and fresh, and the coffee is pretty good too, these days when you are paying good money for food and coffee i guess you expect a lot and tatrs definately delivers, well worth it

From the moment I enquired about a high tea birthday party, Sandra was very pleasant to deal with. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the table setting was gorgeous and the food was even more amazing. I highly recommend Tarts, and can't wait to return myself :)

What a great place for breakfast, brunch, coffee and even catering. If you want good quality healthy and sweet options in beautiful surroundings then tarts, is the place for you! You tart!

This one's a bit of an icon in the Northbridge cafe scene. Breakfast, lunch, coffee and dinner are all on the menu, and there's also a cute little gourmet food and gift selection integrate with the restaurant space. I feel like it's not as pretty and upbeat here as it was a few year's ago though. There's still plenty of charm, it just needs a spruce up or something. I've never done lunch or dinner, but the coffees and sweets are a big win. That's what you come for really. The breakfasts are only kind of ok. Not the best in the area.

Tomas F.

Yelp
I've had some fairly decent food here, as I have some friends who have a sense of loyalty to this place, but to be honest I always find it a bit odd. It's not the service (which is generally very good), the coffee (actually pretty bloody good), the food (extremely edible) or the decor (kind of homey in a way appropriate to the feel of the surrounding neighbourhood), but the other diners! If you want to hear about first world problems talked about with no sense of perspective whatsoever, I suggest heading here. I often giggle to myself quietly as I overhear hugely emotive rants about the emotional struggles involved in renovation, power struggles at law consultancies or Desperate Housewives-style domestic dialogue. I'm not a regular eavesdropper but some of the stuff I've overheard here has cracked me up, as it seems to attract a crowd with slightly more coin in their coffers than I'm used to, who I suspect live in a very different world to mine! With that being said, this is a pretty decent cafe and, even if I don't personally feel at home here, I can see why they attract a regular crowd. Their breakfasts are particularly good, but it's a nice place to while away an afternoon with some friends too. Worth a visit.

the coffee is so nice and the design is so unique with hidden garden at the back:) very cosy nice place to spend lazy late morning or lunch!
