*Rating is a 3.5*Elixir feels like it’s been around forever and has always done a decent coffee. The cafe itself is not particularly appealing to sit and enjoy breakfast (I find it quite cold/industrial in its feel, menu is fairly limited too). Staff are polite, I enjoy some good take away coffee with organic fruit toast when you’re on the run.
I'm a semi-regular customer at Elixir, get my caffeine shots about twice a week from here. The coffee is always good and the guys are always a delight
Coffee here is always perfectly made, smells so good and tastes heavenly. I can't do without my morning pick me up and cheerful greeting from the wonderful staff
Elixir Cafe is renown for its good coffee and good food. And so it should be. We were there again recently and the same standard was all there. Friendly and professional staff who know their stuff, great coffee and excellent, breakfast food. There is always a good selection of newspapers for the older generation - who actually read newspapers - to enjoy!
We stayed with the 'old standby' of smashed avocado and eggs on toast. Beautiful. Our friends had scrambled eggs and once again the quality was high.
Elixir Cafe can get busy at peak times, but the short wait is all worthwhile. Good parking at the Chelsea Village car park.
Highly recommended.
Great coffee, and very kind staff! (Thanks so much to the generous waitress/ barista who dropped off a gift-wrapped keep cup to me after mine broke).
I've heard about Elixir's great coffee a lot and finally had a chance to try today. Their coffee didnt disappoint me. It's my kind of coffee, smooth and not bitter. Chicken, Avocado & Tomato Toastie was tasty and got enough filling. Peach Muffin was cold (not room temperature). I wonder why they didnt offer to warm it up (I didnt realised until I left). Service was good. I definitely would go back for coffee.
Excellent place for an afternoon coffee and cake. I loved the vibe of the place and the girls who served us were excellent and looked happy to be there
Coffee to die for! I will be back! Just sad that the sizes are not so big. I've not tried anything else but the coffee is strong and good!!!!
Great coffee and a nice casual atmosphere. The house blend is very tasty and there was a nice selection of sandwiches and snacks but I didn't get to try any this time. I'll be recommending this place to my uni friends.
Great coffee! Casual environment. Would be better if a wider selection of food to go with the coffee! Will definitely be back for a coffee catch up again!!!
This has been my favourite place to get coffee for years. Every time I take that first sip I ask myself why I don't go there more often! The staff are very friendly and passionate, and the coffee is exquisite. Compared to some my level of coffee knowledge is completely amateur, but I do know the good stuff when I taste it.
Went here today for some quick breakfast close to uni with my boyfriend. I got the eggs florentine with salmon and he got the eggs benedict with bacon. We didn't get any coffee even though it boasts the coffee specialist title on the door, but I bet you they make great coffee because the aroma when you walk through the door is so good. Our meals were as good as it gets: good flavours and they didn't entirely lather the food with sauce. My only thing is that I struggled to cut through the toast with my knife, but that's not their fault. Great atmosphere and music, the walls display creative paintings you can buy to support the artist, and the staff are very customer centric. I would go again to try the coffee or have a quick feed.
Simply, Easy and the best. Great coffee with efficient service. Coffee was Milky and smooth. Lots of different bites for you to get stuck into, Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!
Good take-away coffee. Zero bitter after taste. Nice vibe, reasonable service (friendly rather than fast) adequate range of hot all-day 'breakfast' food.
Went here for a late lunch with a friend, arrived at about 2:30 but the kitchen was closed. They had a great array of bagels, sandwiches, gourmet sausage rolls and quiches. We ordered the salmon bagel, sausage roll, caramel slice, mixed berry smoothie, citron presse juice, iced late and long mac. The service was fantastic, kind, lively and engaging. Was flexible in my order (e.g. apple instead of mint in the juice), and recommended food options when we found out that the kitchen was closed. The actual coffee was delicious, if a little more bitter than I was used to. There is free wifi, that is actually fast!. The service was also fast.
Overall all, the staff definitely made the experience, only problem is it shut a little early.
LOVED IT XX
Coffee & Cake was fantastic , service was nothing special, It wasn't busy but half the Tables were not cleaned, the waitress seemed a bit disinterested.
Superb delight. Something sweet, savory and bitter. My coffee(picolo) was spot on, flavourful but not overpowering with a slight bitterness cutting through.
Open early and reasonable prices, friendly staff. It's worth at least a pop in to try it yourself. Highly recommend.
Been there a few times for coffee and they were always busy. Nevertheless, their great coffee standard is well maintained with efficient service.
You can pay a lot of money for individualised service. I didn't. Just as we sat down after ordering the coffee machine had a spat and only black was the option. Much as I hated to I tried the espresso. Obviously not hard core as it was a struggle for me. We knew when the Machine was back online as people filled the place like it was on Twitter. The staff offered, and I accepted, my flat white on the house. So, after 4 shots of coffee I was drunk on good vibes, Billy Connolly art works and great service.
I've only been here for the coffee so far because of how amazingly huge they come for a reasonable price!
Very spacious venue with friendly staff- will be back very soon to try out the very large breakfast menu!
Incredible coffee! I haven't tried their food but the coffee here is really consistent, well balanced and well made. They sell their beans to take home if you prefer as well. The staff are lovely and are happy to chat to make sure you are matched to the right product to successfully brew at home.

Best muffins in Perth. Flavour combinations can vary but they always work! Not the stock standard muffin you would find elsewhere. It's crispy edges and chewy but soft centre makes you want to keep coming back for more. Yum!
Best coffee I've had in Perth!. Excellent coffee and service, have been here four times and each time has been the same. Highly recommend!
Good food, but pricey. Come here for the coffee. Came here for a post-birthday breakfast. My cappuccino was pretty good, though boyfriend wasn't too thrilled about his latte. Had the bruschetta, and while it was good and looked beautiful, it's way out of my normal student budget. Don't think I'd come back to eat here unless I wanted to splurge. Would probably only come here for the coffee.
Fantastic coffee, quite possibly the best I've had in Perth.
Exceptionally good coffee for a reasonable price. They have nice muffins too.
A hidden gem.... I've been here for breakfast twice in the past week because this place ticks every box: amazing food, great coffee, good music, plenty of parking. They are coffee specialists and will select a blend that will compliment the food you order. I especially like the more private room out the back. It has a comfortable range of seating - both couch and chair. The regular crowd is young, hip, professional, arty. The staff are friendly, helpful and enthusiastic. I can't recommend this place highly enough for quality cafe food.
Just awesome!. We love this place. The coffee is great the sweet treats are superb and the service is fantastic. Keep it up guys
Fantastic coffee and a great team providing excellent service. Good job guys
Great coffee. It's great to see that the heart of the old Zekka crew (Fitz, Tim and the man over the grill, Levi) live on within the Elixir team. Coffee is consistently excellent (but of course) and the food is similarly splendid. Only downside is the location - which makes it difficult for me to visit regularly.
Nice coffee. Nice caramel toned long blacks and a good choice of raw desserts. Good for a morning pop in.
Coffee. Killer coffee Perth you have surprised me
Great place. Great coffee, Great food and prompt, courteous and friendly staff. A few more menu items to choose from would be nice but I would go back there without any second thoughts.
If I could only drink coffee from one cafe for the rest of my life, it would be from Elixir. I've moved 13 kms further away but I still make the drive back (when I can) to get my fix.
Coffee here is great, some of the best I've had in Perth. Dessert window is also great. The cafe itself could work on its atmosphere a little more, but hey, overall I really like it. Will definitely be back again.
Great coffee. I drive 5 km out of my way for this coffee. It has a full flavour that lingers in the mouth afterwards. I've never experienced inconsistency like one reviewer has said (and I see many other reviewers say its very consistent). I need to let the guys know I like my coffee hot and they are happy to do so. I also spotted a high chair out the back dining area the other day so not sure why one reviewer said they aren't child friendly. The guys do get busy and sometimes I have to wait. But that's a good thing I think.
Great Coffee. Great coffee, fairly consistent. Pick your timing right though as it can get very busy for take away, well worth the wait though. However if they focused on their breakfast food some more I would be there twice as much!!
ELIXIR!. My favorite place for coffee in Perth! Amazingly nice coffee, the taste lingers in your mouth for a few minutes! Too bad it's too far from my house and I need to take public transport to go over, given that price I could have visit them every single day!
Best coffee in Perth. That's it - best coffee in Perth and certainly one of the best I have tried anywhere
SImply the Best Coffee in Perth!. A few places come close to Elixir, but even so. Elixir has the best coffee in town. The baristas are very good!
Great coffee! Amazing service, personally love it when they check to see if I have finished my coffee and want another one :D How it should be everywhere!
Coffee is sensational every time mmmmmmmmmmm!!!!!
Best coffee in Perth. Need I say more?!
With care for each cup they make, Elixir is a one of a kind around here. Thanks for showing us that passion is paramount!
The kings of castle, the coffee, is killer everytime all the time. University students at Uwa should come to appreciate this fine establishment, although redbull is flowing through my veins during exam time during the semester it's elixirs coffee!!!
Regards Hc
Always waiting for monday. Elixir probably consistently serves one of THE BEST coffees in Perth. They roast their own beans and I have to say, every cup of Elixir lingers on your palate and leaves you satisfied and looking for more. That's why I'm always waiting for Monday, after an enjoyable weekend, Elixir is the best pick me up for the long week ahead!
Pros: Some of the best coffees we have ever had, interesting layout, friendly professional staff, banana bread was good, keen to go back
Cons: can't think of any? oh yeah a bit far from my house :-)

Scrumptious cup cakes and sweets selection
Amazingly helpful staff
Quaint spot

Perfect coffee.
:) :) :)
Gorgeous little interior filled with interesting knick knacks and decorations. Menu is small but not limited with a varied range of plates for breakfast and lunch. Location is actually next door to Chelsea's Pizza (originally thought it was in Chelsea Court). Lunch was beautifully done but their rep for amazing coffee isn't too amazing to be honest. Food and service are great though. Definitely my new lunch spot.
I've been frequenting this place for some time now, and by the best thing on the menu is the Bacon and Egg Sandwich: bacon, poached eggs, tomato, eggs and a lemon butter. So delicious first thing in the morning! Coffee is definitely some of the best around.
Come here, seriously... DO IT!!. Often a little tender after my Chiropractic session upstairs I find solace at Elixer. I usually order one of there gorgeous coffees and something sweet but there food is also delicious and reasonably priced. I'm looking forward to my next serve of new norcia fruit and nut toast, freshly squeezed juice and cup of coffee...
Best Coffee, Best Staff. This is my local and I'm spoiled with the quality of coffee they produce. I can wander in at anytime and the staff are friendly, ready for a chat and really keen to describe their latest blend of coffee. Grab yourself a chair out in the sun and enjoy a cold filtered coffee for something a little different!
Cute. Would travel fro South perth the get a beautiful 5 senses coffee made with love using my favourite... synesso, keep up the good wrk :)
Love.. I come here every week after an appointment in Nedlands. What i like about Elixir is that i get the same coffee every time. The consistency is unbeatable, the baristas know exactly what they are doing without a hint of arrogance which i have found at other places. A must for people who have not been here yet!
Best soy coffee I've ever had! Was very tempted to have a red velvet cupcake. Will be back!
Amazeballs. Great coffee, great food, cool vibe
Unique beans. The taste of the beans was amazing, so unique from they're own special blends.
The coffee was so fruity, with scents of citrus, peaches and marmalade. Froth was a little thin for a latte.. but it was the barista's style. Cute cups too!
I don't live anywhere close to the area but it's been worth the trip everytime! Excellent coffee, strong with great flavor to balance and fantastic service.
Delicious Every Time. Best coffee in Perth!!
Food looks great but I haven't tried it. Staff are cool and very professional and interior is really interesting and captivating.
I am currently travelling around Canada and dream of coming home back to Elixir… Can't wait to be a proud regular!
Great coffee.. Perfect velvet cupcakes and I'm not a fan of carrot cake but I'm converted by theres. Yumo!
Best coffee everytime. Consistently the best coffee in Perth- also had the cakes - the coconut cream cupcake is the BEST - only problem - doesn't open on Sunday & no eftpos.
A wonderfully cool cafe tucked away in nedlands draws you in with the uber cool photography on the walls. Today I only tried the latte, but gosh it was a cracker! Bitter free, smooth and well balanced. One of the best
Muffins to die for!. I would rate this as THE best coffee place in Perth, I've been coming here since they opened and only had one off day. The coffee is quite smooth, completely rid of that bitter taste most others have, and has a delightful caramel after taste.
The best part about Elixir is that unlike many of the other cafes that serve quality coffee, their food is actually edible and quite delicious! Their muffins are the best I have tasted - full of fruit and nut combinations - but sadly they run out quite early on in the day. :(
Just a heads up it is cash only ! (Elixir please get an EFTPOS machine!)
Dependably decent coffee.
Lives up to the hype. Little apprehensive after hearing a lot of friends rave. Pulled a great espresso, however, so it gets my nod of approval.
Best Coffee In Perth. There isn't much else to say but best coffee in Perth.... Its a pitty that its always full of middle aged western suburbs ladies.
Showing my love for this place. Great coffee. Great way to start my day, every day.
Great atmosphere. This is the best local coffee shop. Plenty of friendly chatter and great coffee. Life is Good.
These guys can come across a liitle uber cool, but they know their coffee and it's because they are working hard and concentrating! I know my coffee and know my food... Best coffee and best muffins around. A little bit more effort to make new or sparadic customers feel like regulars would go a miss, after all just because we dont go in everyday doesn't mean we don't want to! Maybe we just can't but when we can we drive out of our way to get there... If you want good coffee it's worth the journey :-)
