Lovely views overlooking the playground. Great cafe with lots of parking spaces. The staff were great, attentive and helpful despite the fact that the cafe was so busy during a Saturday lunch hour. Coffee was good and we really enjoyed the chocolate torte.
What I ordered:
- Entrée- Goats Cheese, Ricotta and Cherry Tomato Tart with rocket, beetroot & hazelnut salad
- Main- Pumpkin, Quinoa, Chickpea Falafel grilled with rocket, beetroot, feta, pistachio, orange salad & herb yogurt (gf)
Dessert:
- Individual Pavlova with summer fruits & berries
- Macadamia and Honey Parfait (gf)
- Coffee- Mocha
Pros:
- The entrée (Goats Cheese, Ricotta and Cherry Tomato Tart with rocket, beetroot & hazelnut salad) was amazing! The salad went perfectly with the tart so I definitely recommend you try this one.
- Going for the set menu does make you quite full by the time you get to dessert.
- The parfait was really good and I would recommend this over the pavlova.
- Free parking and plenty of parking.
- Beautiful surroundings to enjoy your meal.
- After your meal, you can take a stroll through King’s Park or sit and relax on the grass outside the café.
Cons:
- Unfortunately, the options on the set menu did not have any vegetarian options so they let me choose one from their restaurant mains. There were only two options available and this was one of them. It wasn’t amazing but it was average.
- The pavlova was too sweet for me although the summer fruits & berries were lovely.
- Not many choices in the mains even on the restaurant menu.
- Unfortunately. I couldn’t finish the dessert as I was too full by the time it got to dessert.
- The entrée I ordered as well as the dessert may only be available for large bookings through a set menu which is unfortunate as it tasted amazing.
*3.5 stars with no major negatives. Recently refurbished/renovated and looking good. Service is lovely, as is the location. Food is okay, you can pretty much everything from hot chips and nuggets to a complex meal down to a yummy sweet treat. The only thing that bugs me is the pricing. It’s exorbitant for what it is - a park cafe.
We had some food with some friends was amazing I was soooo full couldn’t even finish my chicken focaccia and there was a some nice salad my husband had the beef brisket lasagna he said it was ok but said he could taste more tomato than cheese he was also still hungry so he ordered a mini hamburger he said that was good the others had the lamb and the falafel they said it tasted yummy. Food here is good quality and the servings are generous, was very impressed as it was my first time here and also the banana smoothie was good.. so need to work off all this food wanted to try the deserts so badly because they looked soooo amazing but was so full lol 🐷. Would love to come back 🤔😬🙂🙂.
Generous portion sizes and a great avocado mash! The coffee is great as well. The outdoor eating area has heaters so was a great spot for breakfast with friends.
Beautiful setting and nicely located at the other side of Kings Park! How generous the portions of the food were! I think its worth for the price of what we paid for. I couldn’t finish my pork schnitzel, but it was lovely. Had iced coffee and iced chocolate which was super cooling on a hot afternoon. Staff were attentive to service and food came out quick.
Awesome quick service and generous portions. The food was tasty too.Such a cool place at Kings Park. Walked around the Kings Park with my girls afterwards.
What a perfect spot for a winters lunch after a big rise on the bikes. We arrived here when it was in full swing but secured a lovely table outside. He ordered the chicken, cheese and avo focaccia, I ordered the ham and cheese croissant and junior had the kids burger. After the waitress served us junior and I swapped! The burger was perfect for me! Did in mention the side of chips? Junior enjoyed those too. The service was really good and the food was good in a bright and sunny setting. Back on the bike now!!!
I go here occasionally and always find it very good, the coffee is lovely and the savory muffins are delish and change every day. It's a lovely spot to catch up with family and friends. I recommended this place, but be mindful that it gets quite busy so if you have a big group you should book.

The food at Zamia Cafe was spectacular! I got the vegetarian breakfast but asked if I could swap out the avocado for bacon which they were more then happy to do. It's hard to find a good breakfast place these days that will do that for you. I didn't get to taste the scrambled eggs, however the poached eggs were perfect.
We held out work Christmas lunch at Zamia. Fantastic to deal with from beginning to end, great location, the food was delicious and a great price, great service from all the team who looked after us on the day. Would have no hesitation in recommending Zamia again
Beautiful place for such a lovely cafe. Staff were friendly and service was average. The variety of foods on the menu is great and I can't wait to go back in summer time
Food here is surprisely great!Good tasting curry with vegies,love it.The pie is also made by heart.:)The only defect is the seat is not very comfortable.
A busy, popular cafe/restaurant in a particularly pretty area of Kings Park. Probably should be avoided at weekends and school holidays as it is located beside a large playground. Booking is still advised during the week. The staff are efficient and friendly, the selection of cakes and deserts is huge and all baked on the premises, breakfasts and brunches are huge and varied. Really love this place but not recommended for anyone looking for a quiet time.
Love this place!! I have been twice with a friend and my little one in the past month. The most recent time was a really wet and windy day and upon arrival the Manager gave us several options of seating so we could be warm and comfortable. We ordered our food, & it came out nice and quickly and was delicious and filling as always. This will always be my go to when around Kings Park.
A great walk/cycle/jog through Kings Park and you find yourself being served up breakfast by smiling friendly staff. Fresh cold water in clean jugs is a plus. Dogs are welcome on the big verandas and water bowls are placed for them near taps. Food is a little pricey, breakfast dishes $16.50-$23.50 and lunches up to $26 but the coffee is good and the whole atmosphere is great. Gluten free option are available.
Lemon Pepper Squid was awesome. Reasonably priced and decent portion. Not often I come across this, especially with Calamari. The people at my table enjoyed their orders too.
Offers traditional/classic lunch options
Nothing fancy or unique but still tasty
Service is minimal - you order at the counter and take back to your table
Nice location in kings park
Would be good for family outings
Always busy, even worse on weekends
Great location in Kings Park. Huge children's play area outside and lovely view. All of this means pram patrol if the blue rinse brigade has not made their books. All this said, I come here all the time and I'm not part of either group.
Food is good and fresh. Believe cakes baked fresh daily. Prices are Perth normal, and the staff is always friendly. I always recommend to visitors.

Friendly staff, great view, delicious simple breakfast - a perfect spot for a lazy Sunday morning if you accidentally find yourself in Kings Park:)) Unfortunately a bit noisy inside but if you sit outside on the deck you won't hear that and will enjoy 100% of the gardens. Will be back.
It's really eat-here-cos-there-is-nowhere-else-to-eat kind of place. The service was efficient but not really friendly but at least it was a place to get my coffee fix and some cakes as we sat down to have a rest. But the view of the park was great.
Great Food, Great Setting... I have been coming here for coffee for a long time and always looked at the meals going out and thought they looked amazing. I finally got round to booking a family lunch and wasn't disappointed. Even though it was mid week I was glad I booked as the place was packed - weekends are even busier. The menu selection offers something for everyone, veggies and meateaters alike and there are always 3 or 4 specials on too. BYO - so we took along some wine. We had the chicken caesar salad; quiche of the day (tomato, pumpkin, mushroom & spinach) with salad; leek, gruyere & thyme tart with coleslaw, chicken avocado focacia with salad and the salad special (baked ricotta with mixed tomato, basil and roast capsicum in balsamic dressing) - all of which were fresh and delicious, great portion sizes too. With meals like this, prompt and friendly service, and such a lovely setting overlooking the park it is no wonder this place is always full. We will definetly go back for a meal again.
Whoever is behind this place should be allowed to take over the Botanic Cafe on Fraser Avenue, which at the moment is a poor excuse for a restaurant.
Great pit stop for lunch during a long weekend walk .Decent food and great coffee
Excellent. Great setting. Zamia cafe is to be commended for the variety of their children's menu. As for the adults, we can highly recommend the Gruyere & leek tart with walnut and apple coleslaw. The mushroom & asparagus aranchinis were also delicious.

Consistent, Consistent, Consistent....is what I would say about Zamia's. Breakfast or Lunch, this place is a go to place when you are hungry and in the area. They have been consistent place to dine for a number of years and we honestly keep coming back. A sign of a great place. Well done and sorry it has taken me this long to review you... :)
We'll be back!. On a blustery autumn afternoon lunch at Zamia was more than enough to life our spirits. We were lucky enough to be seated by the windows which look over a lush looking Kings Park.
The menu had a wide selection that would, I hope, have tempted the most jaded palate. I had the zucchini and feta fritters, which came with a delicious salad that incorporated grated carrot and beetroot as well as roasted flakes almonds. It was delicious! Hubby had the open steak sandwich, which he said was also delicious. We both had fresh juices.
I know we'll return, just so we can savour something from the their breakfast menu!
Lovely spot with children. Had breakfast here yesterday on a busy (rainy) Sunday morning. We were greeted by friendly staff who gave us a choice of tables to sit at. Handed us menu's and promptly returned with glasses and water. Offered to get high chair for our youngest but we didn't need it. Food is reasonably priced and I love that they offer child serves of breakfast too. I had the home made baked beans and they are magnificent. Love the fresh juices. Service was great. A very friendly place and the kids loved exploring the park afterwards. A delightful Sunday.
I always meet my mum here for coffee during our walks/bike rides and the coffees are great! Great views of the park and very kid-friendly if you were to bring your children here. I've only come for food once it liked it so will definitely have to come for a meal again :)
Have been here several times and love it. Prices great value for what you get. Food is excellent and very generous servings. Shared one of best calamaris followed by crispy skin barramundi and desert and coffee, all perfect all for less $60. Byo wine but do not charge corkage. Beautiful setting staff very busy but friendly and helpful. One of the best!
Great Staff. Staff were extremely helpful especially because they were almost fully booked but they took my name and number and then were able to give us a table and let me order from the lunch menu before 11.30 so that by the time our 3rd person arrived (just after 11.30) he had time to eat lunch and get back to work. Food was great (I have never had bad food here), it is a little more expensive but the venue makes up for it and today the service even more so.
Yum pancakes!. Breakfast at Zamia Cafe is always a winner, and they make the best pancakes....coffee is great too. It's always busy and especially so on the weekend when we had beautiful sunny winter days.
The best cafe in Kings Park by a long way. Great coffee, location and food. Always a favourite.
My favorite baked eggs in Perth, just delicious. Can be noisy and the coffee is terrible (i have had it come out covered in burnt milk skin) but I haven't been able to find a place that tops those baked eggs...
We are frequent weekend customers over many years to this lovely, mostly ' spot on' eatery, breakfast is our thing and we love the setting, the staff, and the food, they have been under-whelming on a few occasions, mostly the eggs done not quite right, but in general, a great spot after a run on the weekend.
2nd visit in as many weeks with visiting relatives. Both times service and food great. I know collecting your own meals can be a bit annoying, but it works ok here.
Well done Zamia's. Keep it up.
Delight. Had a pleasant and wonderful time dining in for lunch at Zamia on the weekend. Great atmosphere and surrounding.
Beautiful location and great food. My husband and I have been here several times for breakfast and have been thoroughly impressed. The staff are very friendly and happy to accommodate. The big breakfast is value for money - my husband and I could easily share. The pancakes are also large and very tasty. The fruit juices are a little expensive - but well worth it. The coffee is great - compliments to the weekday barista.
Overall - beautiful view and highly recommend the food.
I joined my parents for lunch at Zamia today. Whilst the food was nice and the location great i felt the serving sizes were too large and the prices too high especially as they don't provide full waiter service. Surely if you expect customers to fetch their own food when buzzed the price should reflect the labour savings. Whilst we all enjoyed the food I am not sure I will be rushing back in a hurry as there are plenty of other cafe in Perth with better value for money.
Very impressed! Great food (a few gf options) both companions ordered paninis, they were huge and came with a well dressed side salad. I order the gluten free mushrooms and was very impressed! Well seasoned and good portion size. Coffee was lovely. Will be going back!
This place heaves on a Sunday so get there at 8am if you want a seat! Breakfast serves were MASSIVE. I'm a big eater but couldn't finish it. Food was average, nothing to rave about but it's kid friendly being in front of the Synergy playground. The cake/slice selection looked great so if you've got a sweet tooth do visit.
Unexpectedly great food. I despise pay at the counter cafes but this place was packed so I suppose I understand that table service can be difficult. Lots of big groups of people were having lunch but the wait for the meals was worth it. Well balanced, good sized dishes. Priced at a premium for convenience of location, I suppose. But we were all impressed by the food...and freshly squeezed juices.
Overall a very good place for a light meal, it was very busy but our food came out reasonably quickly and everyone was satisfied with what they ordered
"The Best Eggs Benedict In Perth". A big shout but one I've thought through. Love the food here. Decent coffee and a good atmosphere.
The ceaser salad with chicken wad fantastic, probably the best ceaser sauce I've tried. The lamb was perfectly cooked on the warm salad. Overall a great value meal, service was good and I would return for sure. Food 7/10 service 6/10 decor 7/10
Generous serving sizes .... Had the toasted focaccia style bun ... was a great serving size and good value... they're not just cashing in on their location as you might expect.

The beautiful Synergy Parkland situated in Kings Park and Botanic Garden was the first environmental playground and community area of its kind in Australia. The Parkland features a 75m-long elevated walkway, a two-tiered island fort, large-scale replicas of dinosaurs and extinct Australian Fauna, a timber boardwalk and an interactive water misting forest. The park is a must visit for any dinosaur fan! The walkway to the island fort playground The Island Fort Water Misting Forest The elevated walk-way complete with bridges, slides, ladders and fireman's poles. Swings - they are not shaded so can get very hot - especially if you are the one doing the pushing! The Synergy Parkland is a recreation area for the entire family with the playground particularly suitable for children over six years. Buggybuddys do not particularly recommend this park for toddlers as the ce
Zamia is a smallish cafe tucked away at the Synergy Parkland that caters for breakfasts, lunches or just stopping in for a drink and a cake

Sometimes when you're in the cbd looking for brunch the answer is close by and nothing like being in the concrete jungle! That's Zamia Cafe for you. A slice of heaven in the serenity of Kings Park. Everything here is made on the premises. Our food was gorgeous and fresh. Coffee was delicious. Cakes are to die for. But the real clincher is the surroundings. You can't beat nature for pure ambience. Sit. Slow down. Enjoy.
Wonderful indoor/outdoor cafe at the quieter end of the park - closeby to children's play area so very popular for families. Cafe is ordering at the counter but then food is brought to your table. Great selection of foods for meals as well as coffee and cake. Good flavourful coffee
We came here twice for breakfast over our 5 day holiday in Perth as we enjoyed the food, the service, and the park for our little one to run free. Parking is easy. If you have kiddos this is a good place to spend your mornings!
I have eaten nasi goreing and fish n chips at many places in Perth. They are one of the best if not the best. Plus this place is pet friendly. Keep it up guys.
Excellent staff. Fresh and yummy food with reasonable price. Good coffee. Wonderful atmosphere and environment. Indoor and outdoor seating.
This is a lovely place for visitors and family. The environment surrounding the Zamia Cafe is already one of the best in Kings Park. The food here is always fresh and good. A great cafe for group gathering during the day and certainly an unforgettable park for a casual walk after the meal. I have to thank uncle Bernie deeply in my heart for bringing us here. What a beautiful and peaceful place just outside the cafe. Car parking bays are ticket free. Enjoy!
Wonderful place amidst the greenary. Food was good. A tiny bit of wait to order but food arrived fast.
Very nice cafe with good garden view 😎
