Breaks

Pancakes with maple syrup & Berry coulis. Mushrooms, egg, spinach, bacon with black truffle oil. Delicious. Friendly, prompt service. Good coffee. Reasonable price. Will give back when next in Fremantle. Took one star off because it was a bit too warm in the cafe. Recommended

Felt very unwelcoming.sat down for a coffee.could notice difference in behaviour between customers

OK so far 45 mins and still no sign of breakfast order! Doesn't matter how good it is if you've run out of time to enjoy it!

As a very frequent customer, Breaks always delivers on great and friendly service, excellent coffee, and fantastic meals. Generous portions at very reasonable prices so never go away hungry.

We stumbled across this lovely cafe some months ago, and returned this week. We were not disappointed. The chef is a lady from Croatia, who simply knows how to prepare really tasty and well presented food. The coffee is very high on our ratings list and the staff are friendly, efficient and cheerful.
This really is an excellent place for breakfast or lunch. Well located in High Street it is only a 6 minute walk from the railway Station.
Top class food, exceptionally good value, and a place that will bring you back over and over.

Planted conveniently a 5min walk away from the freo markets This place is a must go! From the coffee to the service and the atmosphere (especially the upstairs), everything was AMAZING!

Some special mentions Lucy and the other cafe staff are absolutely amazing, thank you:)

Lucy was soo nice absolutely amazing service from her, the avo toast and pancakes are amazing

Nice little cafe, that offers all day breakfasts.and Breaks' menu is varied enough to suit everyone. Gluten free options available.

Big food portion and a good selection of coffee and tea too. One of my favorite cafe in Freo!

Edit 2023: Another visit and some of the best scrambled eggs I've had for a long time.

Called in for the first time and had an excellent coffee. My partner would also recommend the hot chocolate.

I had the breakfast mushrooms, absolutely delicious. My friends burger was fab too.lovely, fresh and home-made. Staff were lovely, too. Great little find and very reasonably priced.

Awesome place, great food, great service and looking great after the renovations. Been a while between visits.

Lovely cafe, tucked away down a side street. The staff were so kind and welcoming. I only had a cookie but it was delicious. Good coffee and the menu items looked great

Liked the place a lot, it has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff, the food was delicious and reasonably priced, coffee is very good too

Such a nice atmosphere in Breaks when I had lunch there this afternoon. The menu is amazing with a great choice including veggie and vegan options. The staff were really welcoming and the food was tasty. Highly recommend!

Note: still giving five stars because I don't want to effect their rating. Just wanted to offer constructive critique. 10+ years ago I would frequent this place for the moo burger which at that time I beleive was one of the best burgers you could get in Perth. Returning after all these years for a moo, was disappointed it wasn't how it used to be - (soft and very flavourful patty with melted Swiss cheese, hints of seeded mustard and rocket and everything loose but perfectly held together.)

Unfortunately what I received this time returning after all these years was a sloppy mess - way too much mayonnaise, over packed full of rocket, and they must have changed the spices used in the patty as its distinct flavour was missing. Everything just fell apart. Composition is important in great burgers and it simple wasn't there. Furthermore the chips had the distinctive "frozen" chip texture and could be greatly improved. For $18 it is still decent burger and I understand there's variation in each Chef's interpretation, but unfortunately that burger is just not what it once was (burger greatness).

This cafe has wonderful service and ambience. It’s a regular hit with my friends for well priced food and a good atmosphere. The portioning and taste was also delicious

Our brekkie went to the wrong table for 3 minutes, the young lass was very apologetic and gave us free coffees, it was also delicious

So overall poor quality food, over priced, long waiting hours even during less busy hours. Wouldn't recommend the food! It's not worth the wait either. May be have a coffee and enjoy the space.

Ordered a dish with rice. Rice was a disaster, uncooked and dried out. Quantity of rice for a $23 dish was poor. 3/4 th cup of rice! Wait for food was half an hour. It wasn't busy at all. Cucumber was old or spoiled. There were reddish orange spots on the cucumber which says its old or spoiled.

On a previous occasion, ordered croissants with ham and cheese in a less busy time. The lady at the counter was too busy cleaning dishes. Waited for some time and felt like the food is getting burned in the toaster. So reminded her about the toast and she handed over the half burned toast! I just thought she might be having a bad day or may be rushing home. So ignored it completely.

But the above mentioned (thai green curry) experience prompted me to give this review.

Amazing crepe style pancakes! Value for money definitely not as expensive as different places. A slight wait time but the food made up for it!

I just been to this place with my friend for coffee. Our coffees were very cold. The girl who served us was really cool and welcoming. But didn't enjoy our coffees at all. I asked for a large late in a tall glass, instead received a mug of regular late which was very cold. I could drink it in one go like a glass of cold water.

What an unpleasant experience that was!

I will never go back to this place ever and will not recommend to anyone.
