Review Lowdown - Perth

Coffee is always delicious. The staff bring the coffees out to you sitting down in the busy, crowded common area so that you don’t have to stand around and wait. Their second fiddle toastie is amaaaazing 🤤

Toastie isn’t as amazing as Eillo’s, but still yummy :-) Coffee was okay. Location is really nice as it’s next to a nice open seating area under glass ceiling.

Nice tasty coffee. Beautiful place to sit outside too!

An amazing coffee shop, excellent tasting coffee and excellent staff! They greet you kindly and know exactly who's order is who's and it comes out in little too no time at all! Amazing for the amount of orders they have! An coffee spot that everyone should know about

The coffee was just ok. Considering the high ratings I expected better. Staff serving us was super friendly which is always welcome. Disappointed.

Although small, this place has a great vibe. Came for some good coffee, stuck around for great music. Even their standard filter coffee has a great flavor.

Good coffee, friendly staff, nice venue with mood lighting ;)

This coffee shop provides excellent service, they thank you politely by your name everytime and greet you with lovely smiles. My favourite coffee in the city! Thanks a lot LowDown

Seriously one of the best coffees I’ve had in Perth!

The coffee was good.<br/>The food was even better! I ordered a chicken sandwich that was amazing.<br/>I wouldn’t go there if I wanted to have a date or a catch-up with a friend as it is way too noisy to have a conversation, but I would recommend it for on-the-go coffee/food.

If you came here to get your coffee - great ! It’s the right spot. If you decide to order food (toastie,baked goods) don’t bother. After the food is freshly prepared, it is left sitting on the counter. This is not my first experience..it has occurred multiple times. The lady who does the coffee run will only hand you your food (which has been sitting on the counter for over 10-15mins) after her coffee run is done. Please do something about your process

One of the best coffees in Perth (from one coffee snob to another). And make the absolute best warm tasty muffins I’ve ever had - have to stay away for the sake of my waistline 😊

Best coffee in Perth, served with a smile. Absolutely lovely staff who take care to remember your name; and it's never a long wait for the coffee (no matter how long the line gets...).

Coffee is great and I think I spoiled it by having it in paper takeaway cup. It was consistently smooth while sipping, it didn’t go flat throughout. The service could do more with smiles, and having a pre-order app that jump queue would stop me every time.

Great coffee and great service! If you're in the area come here to get your fix. They even offer a second shot free at no cost! Decently priced too!

Great coffee close to work, feels like a bar inside as they have dark lighting, service is fast, can't complain - good for an early morning coffee fix before work.

Very good coffee. They have 3 sizes, small, large and xl. For the large they give you the option of having a double shot for free. It ends up a tiny bit too strong but delicious still! Though if you get an xl with 2 shots I think it will be too weak.<br/>They're quite fast given the morning crowds and they also sell their own beans for a really good price ($10 for 250g or $35 for 1kg). I'll definitely be buying their beans for home consumption.

Adam and Luke may have left Lowdown a couple of years ago but this place is still banging out some of the most consistent coffee in Perth. Try their revolving filter coffees - so clean, light and tasty 💯

disappointed :( cup not filled anywhere near to the top, and taste was extremely weak. no wonder the lady asked if i wanted a double shot when i ordered! should've taken up the offer!

I was craving for a caffeine hit after a mediocre lunch so we ventured to Lowdown in Cloisters Arcade. . Back when I was still working in the city, I used to have a sneaky cuppa every now and then. It's been a couple of years since so I decided to walk down memory lane. Service is friendly as always!

No place like low down for coffee! Simply the best. They remember your order and consistency is always on the mark. Not like every other place where coffee is either burnt or too strong

Lovely staff (friendly and cheerful), fast and high quality service. Only had a coffee but was very happy with it. Nice selection of treats for breaky, snack or lunch. Good vibes all around.

The coffee was just ok. Considering the high ratings I expected better. Staff serving us was super friendly which is always welcome. <br/><br/>Disappointed.

I've only just started getting into coffees and the lowdown has claimed the title of best coffee in the CBD. Their bean is  Fiori which is made locally in the swan valley. I found the service to be nice and quick and the coffee was reasonably priced and tasted good. I grabbed a bunch of takeaways for work so cant comment on the fancy art they do

Good coffee, personal service, efficient staff make for regular customers. This is one of my preferred coffee outlets when I'm in the vicinity of Cloisters Arcade in the CBD. Toasties are consistently good too.

Lowdown is number 1 coffee shop on Zomato. I finally get to try it the other day. My coffee came with pretty latte art. It's slightly bitter but nice. Their Smoked Chicken toastie was delicious. Chicken got strong smokey smell and taste. Crews were accommodating. Would go back again one day.

Omg I love this place, amazing coffee n yummy muffins! My boy friend n I went their after a friend told me to go n try it out. This place offers it all- good old customer service, excellent coffee n the best muffins. oh n u r valued here, not just a number or like some cafes who just shout ur name out rudely to collect ur coffee n be off like Nourish cafe in West Perth, great prices too, definitely value for money. Will Most certainly be going back. :) Please support these guys as they are AMAZING!

************<br/><br/>Update!<br/><br/>Just to let you all know....this is still the best coffee in the CBD. Sybarite appeared bearing gifts of Lowdown coffee the other day....it was heavenly!!!!<br/><br/>5/5 still stands!<br/><br/>End update!!!<br/><br/>**********<br/><br/><br/>It was a happy happenstance which took me to Lowdown this morning on my wander to work....<br/><br/>My 'just passing' morning coffee turned into an accompanying raspberry and white choc muffin....both of which were excellent. Up there with CBD finest!<br/><br/>Also must make mention of service which can seek you out of the morning throng with your coffee and not stand blithely behind a counter calling your name. Made my morning.<br/><br/>Back soon Lowdown!

Best coffee in Perth, hands down. Toasties and cakes are amazing as well. If you haven't been, you're drinking crap coffee! Drop it and get there now.

Ordered flat white for 3.50 each and it was good coffee. Nice cafe at he inside of Cloisters near a few other eateries. I like the design of this shop. Will go back again.

Loved the coffee and a great price too! Not exactly a place I'd go to sit down for a coffee but you can imagine its target audience is catering for the business folk and they have that down pat! The muffins look delish too - will be trying that tomorrow!

I dropped by here twice in two days last week as I had a seminar to attend nearby. I sought out this place because of it's high ratings and great reviews. But I must say the coffees I had were totally different from what was described in the comments. The two FWs I had were totally weak, I could barely taste coffee. The first cup I had was watery and sour, but I went there on the second day and confirmed that it was how their coffee tasted. Very disappointed.

Great coffee, it is a coffee institution in CBD. They use special blend Fiori beans. Plenty of seating in the food court. Always busy.

These guys are a well oiled machine. Smashing out coffees and always remembering your order. Muffins are very bloody good. Easy to find a seat close by to sit and sip....

The coffee here used to be amazing, and the service was great. However, it seems to have gone downhill since a change of owners/managers a couple of months ago. It used to be a regular haunt but now visits are rare and disappointing. Last 3 times the coffee has arrived cold and watery. It's sad that the bearded hipster waiters and baristas who were great at remembering the regulars and made fabulous coffee are no longer there.

Excellent coffee and service. Even when its really busy the coffee is quick. Its cheap for perth prices too at $3.50 for a small double shot. Absolutely love this place.

Smoothest coffee in Perth city, perfect every time. Just $3.50 for a small flat white. Prompt and friendly service always. The only downside is that they are only open Monday to Friday, and only accept cash. They offer a small selection of quality sweet treats at the counter.

After reading review on this website, I expect too much. Of course, it's very good coffee (I tried soy latte), but it's normal and its different from what I wanted to have. I will come back and try it again.

I had very nice flat white here. It was strong but mild. good balance! Staff are friendly and have warm smile. l was relaxed. l would like to be here again.

I used to come here regularly years ago for the best muffins in Perth. Revisited today. Firstly, think they've taken "hip" to the next level, and not in a good way. The Dude at the counter was so grim. Ugh. And the venue was so dark, but I like that. The dimmer the better ;| Secondly, their muffins are still $3.50! Incredible! And they still have the best flavours in Perth (1. Banana and dark chocolate, 2. Pear, raspberry and white chocolate). Taste wise not as amazing as I remember but still pretty good. I hear they do amazing coffee but can't vouch for that other than the ginormous queue. NO EFTPOS.

Damn fine coffee :-)) The best place so far in Perth CBD for coffee nerds. Caution: the place is a bit hard to find, nearly missed it. Between the main alley and the large seating area.

Nice urban place in cloisters arcade in the city. The service is nice and quick. Friendly staff, well worth a look. The coffee has a nice bold flavour. I will be back for sure.

Just had a toastie – Ham and Swiss cheese. OMG, that’s the way toasties should be!!!<br/> <br/>Coupled with the coffee – its business grade heroin!!!<br/><br/>Love love love!

Very impressed by the coffee there, oh and the pastries! Convenient location too, totally makes really easy to spend a few extra bucks after having lunch.

So finally I got to Low Down to try there ever so popular coffee blend.<br/><br/>As a big coffee lover I was excited to see what all the hype was about.<br/><br/>First of all, I need to express that I think coffee shops have it tough, its hard to please fussy coffee drinkers! I'm one who likes my coffee strong and when drinking a coffee I prefer to taste the flavour of the bean rather than milk and this is where Low Down was a let down!<br/><br/>I ordered a skinny long mac and to me it lacked flavour & left an unpleasant milky after taste.<br/><br/>My final scored was negative 1 point for 'cash only.' In this day and age it’s just annoying,<br/><br/>and negative 0.5 point for lack of flavour.

Great coffee!<br/>Excellent service<br/>Quick efficient service<br/>Well located<br/>Lots of people in suits come here for their morning coffee so must be good!<br/>Smooth cappuccino<br/>Well priced

This place gets the best reviews and was super excited to try their coffee. Wasnt really anything to write home about. Typical blasé hipster attitude made it quite underwhelming.

Expert coffee shop. How I know it? I had a barista course in Perth baristas school n the teacher said this place is probably his best spot for coffee in Perth. N I was not disappointed.

Great coffee (probably best in the CBD), cool staff and very handy location.  I don't line up for anything but I will for their coffee (except during rush hour in the morning). Cash payment only a pain but probably helps keep service quick and efficient.  Haven't tried the food yet but will soon.  Good work hipster dudes.

The coffee shop that we go normally during office hour, the coffee is reasonably good and the price is a big plus, a small take away for $3 in Perth CBD is not too bad...

One of the first things that I noticed was the presence of a very unique item in a Perth cafe - a Fetco CBS 2021, a temperature calibrated coffee brewer. In a city full of espresso machines this thing appears to be unique. Actually it seems as though some of the frenetic pace of perth coffee has altered of late and a number of cafes have expanded beyond espresso in their coffee offerings. This is great in my opinion as it allows other aspects of coffee to be explored and will actually contribute to improving espresso through a better understanding of coffee generally. Back to Lowdown though: Lowdown is a ne

Top notch coffee that's for sure! Every time I go busy or slow I'm never disappointed from espresso to filter or even a tea. Lowdown has you covered

The other day Lowdown guy remembered my name for my coffee order. It really made me feel like someone who buys coffee there a lot. 4.5 stars.

Picked up a coffee from Lowdown today and it was great! I'll be back again when I'm on that side of the city

First time and absolutely will be back. My title speaks all way through my review. It was only a cup of flat white and i'm in love!

What happened to the muffins?. Love the coffee as always, but what happened to the muffins? They've slowly shrunk over time and don't taste as nice anymore! I never used to get a bad muffin, but these days it all seems to be hit and miss! :(

Consistently awesome coffee, amazing toasted turkish breads. Flavour combination awesome! Can't venture anywhere else on my one day in the city!!

The Best!!. The coffee here is one of the best in Perth and their brownies are out of this world amazing. And the staff are super lovely :)

Fantastic. Without question the best coffee in Perth. The food is also scrumptious, they have a fantastic instinct for flavour and only use the best produce.<br/>My favorite part of rare trips into town. Makes the drive and parking worth it.

Have yet to be disappointed. Great bunch of guys (and gals) with what it takes to make a great cup of coffee; whatever your style.<br/>The pricing, even better.

It's been a while since I was in the city so, I thought I'd pay a visit to an old fav. When I saw that the shop had vacated, I seriously entered a stage of grieving - which stage? I have no idea. I was all mixed up inside! Fortunately, I took a deep breath and started asking around ("for the love of all things sacred, where are they?!) and thank the heavens, I managed to locate them, a quick 180 degree turn from where I was standing. The new, and much larger, digs are great - moody yet calming! I never tire of the coffee. It's consistently good, the service is impeccable, and chances are, if you visit more than once, the boys will probably remember your name. They won't call you to collect your takeaway coffees, the owner will walk it out to you and personally thank you in the process. This is what is missing from the Perth hospitality scene!! I don't recall if the coffee prices have changed since the new shop move/fit out but for what you get, who really cares! From memory, I used to pay $3.50 for fiori coffee and bannister downs milks or bonsoy organic soy milk. Oh, and I always help myself to a muffin. I just can't resist. Winner!

Best place in Perth for a coffee. This is the best place in the whole of Perth for a coffee they seriously make the best coffee here and the staff would have to be the friendliest ever I can't rate this place high enough 10/10 :)

Thought I'd finally check this place out, having tried so many other cafés in the CBD area, and I must say I don't see what all the hype is about.<br/><br/>For cost and sizing it is comparable, though the large seemed a little small. That may just have been my need for a caffeine hit though. However, what wasn't beyond doubt is the coffee was pretty much cold! Lukewarm if being generous. Very disappointing given all the positive reviews.<br/><br/>I won't be returning unfortunately.

1 coffee daily fix. Thanks for my daily coffee fix and morning good vibes. I've finished up work today in prep to pop bub. Fran.

Perfectamundo. Guys keep up the great work. This place has a great vibe. They are pumping busy and deserve it. Great coffee cool people

Friendly baristas, mediocre coffee. I wanted to like to Lowdown. I've been several times and the service has always been friendly - it seems like it's run by a bunch of genuinely happy bearded hipsters. The coffee, unfortunately, was not great. Whether it was the beans, a poorly pulled espresso, or some combination of the two, I don't know. They also have a rather limited offering of single origins, which is disappointing.<br/><br/>If you're just looking for a flat-white on your way to the office, I'm sure Low Down will fit the bill (that seems to be the crowd they cater to); if you're serious about your coffee and are looking for an array of single origins and an espresso that's going to knock your socks off, there are much better options in the CBD.

World Class Coffee. This is probably the best coffee in Perth and as someone who has drunk coffee around the world, this was one of the best cups of Joe that I have ever had. The people at Lowdown have certainly got it down.

Had a good, smooth flat white from Lowdown. Will be back!

Friendly staff and these guys really know how to make GREAT coffee! Bossman in Mt Lawley are run by the same crew and also do awesome coffee.

Disappointing. I had heard much about the skill and quality of Low Down from people and reviews on the internet alike, however when I went there as the start of my Cafe Crawl, I was severely disappointed. <br/>The service was sub par, seemingly by a trio of guys too stoned to communicate more than a few words about their coffee when asked by an enthused customer.<br/>The coffee in question was an SO from Honduras by Fiori. Once again, Fiori brings to the table what it always has since their former head roaster Justin left - a bitter taste.<br/>Whether it was the coffee in question or the lack of skill for what had to have been an incorrectly pulled shot, the espresso I ordered was woeful. I won't be going back again, and I fail to see what all the good reviews are about.

The Ultimate flat white in Perth. I would wait 20mins for coffee with these guys. They know your name and order by your second coffee. Have not tasted better coffee than from these guys!

Delicious Gourmet toastie. Just had their French Lickum toasted turkish sandwich (smoked chicken, olive & mint relish, feta, peppers and spinach)... <br/>The guy smiled and took the order.<br/>sandwich tasted delicious and I am full.<br/>$8 lunch - not bad!<br/>will try their veggie toastie next time.

Love low down everytime...since I don't drink coffee that often and come in every now and again the fact that the cool cashier always remembers my name even though 100s of regulars come through a day just makes the experience so good. Thanks low down u are certainly the coffeeteers of the CBD

My favourite. To those who wonder why some people walk in, get a coffee and walk out - ask for the filter brew! Pure black filtered goodness on tap for speedy deliciousness.

Delicious 100% of the time. I absolutely love Low Down - the coffee is always beautiful, the muffins, banana bread etc are delcious and the foccacia's for lunch are amazing!! <br/>The guys are friendly and always remember people's names and what they order. Love it!

Awesome muffins. I don't drink much coffee but all my friends who drink coffee love it. Be prepared to wait for 20 mins or so for your coffee. There's even a line outside before they open.<br/>I never used to like muffins that much but one day I was really hungry so I decided to buy one and now i'm hooked onto their muffins. The muffins are so moist and full of flavour. My personal favourites are banana with dark chocolate and pear with dark chocolate. Definitely the best muffins I have ever had. I have been bringing friends there to try their coffee and muffin and they think it's the best cafe they've been too.

Simply The Best. Plain and Simple, the lads make the best Coffee and Muffins in Perth and close to the best in the World, and I've had a lot around the globe.

Here's the Lowdown: They are the duck's nuts. Having frequented Lowdown on multiple occasions before, it was time to articulate my fondness for this mob in an Urbanspoon Review.<br/><br/>The dudes that work down there top blokes and second to none in the all-important category of customer service. They are seriously laid back, friendly and have a sense of humour. Exhibit A being the 50c 'douche tax' that sits on the menu gets a hearty chortle out of me everytime. Luckily I'm yet to be slapped with such a heinous penalty, but I'd imagine it would be tempting to enforce the fine one of the self-important, blue-tooth headset wearing, loud mouthed business people that swarm the area.<br/><br/>My weapon of choice was a double espresso and as per usual they did not disappoint. It was extracted near flawlessly and exhibited a full-bodied flavour that left me purring. <br/><br/>My colleague purchased a short-mac and provided the following insight.<br/>"The warm creamy texture of the milk in conjunction with the nigh-perfect coffee shot was incredibly satisfying", he said. "It was as though the God of Coffee grabbed me by the scruff of the neck, and dripped pure bliss down my gullet with his shiva-like lingum. If I were cleaning my ears with cotton buds at the same time as consuming this delight, I would have blacked out from the pure bliss overload". <br/><br/>18 out of 20. They are the business.

I have been going to Lowdown for the last 3 years and still love this place for my daily coffee fix.

Cant get any better!. Service - AWESOME!<br/>Price - Spot on!<br/>Coffee - AMAZEBALLS!<br/>Banana Bread - OMG DONT GET ME STARTED!<br/><br/>You guys are what all coffee shop owners should aspire to be!!!!

The best..,.. ...coffee, food, prices & service!!! Seriously these guys know how to make a customer feel special, on a daily basis! Do yourself a favour, make Lowdown your regular.

Regular Daily Fix. My attempt to cut down on coffee has been thwarted given Lowdown is now on my route to work. <br/><br/>Every so often I briefly consider going elsewhere for variety, only to remember I will be paying more for less quality in taste and service. The upbeat and friendly nature radiates and then you're left with one of the best coffees in Perth to enjoy. <br/><br/>Castro was for me the only place nearby that could rival their coffee, however recent staff changes has resulted in a drop off in quality making Lowdown the clear standout. <br/><br/>Just a great way to the start the work day.

One of my regular cafes!. Okay the coffee here is good. BUT far from being the best in perth. Probably the best Fiori coffee served in cafes. Also for the price, im sure a lot of people will be lining up for it. Since i work in the city i have tried a lot of coffees from here (since i drink 3-5 coffees a day!). The flat white had nice chocolate tones. However a bit milky for my taste. Had a long mac. It was slightly burnt so kinda disappointing. Drinkable but not that enjoyable. Ive also had many short macs from here. Very consistent throughout the many I have had. The flavours are there but it did have a bitter finish and slightly watery. Still better than a lot of the other cafes in the area though.

UNO = Loono. I have been going to Lowdown since day one and it is part of my daily routine. Everything about this place is brilliant .... right done to the fact that people are happy to wait extended periods for Perth's best coffee.<br/><br/>There are no favours for anyone in jumping up the queue.<br/><br/>When 50 people are waiting for a coffee then 17 minutes is a possibility. 50 people are happy to wait but not UNO.<br/><br/>I agree with Leroy - if you want your coffee quick then there are other options ..... UNO they were the places you used to go to before you realised how good Lowdown was.

Without a doubt the best coffee in town hands smacked down.<br/>The best bunch of bearded guys you will meet along with a girl out the back who knows how to cure my love for all things baked.<br/>UNO- I think your tastes would better suit a drive through where you can get a giant cup of crap in your ONE hand before you have even muttered the words "weak soy decaf FW"

Hands down best coffee in Perth & service is always with a smile. Consistently great & totally worth the wait if you drop by during the morning coffee rush.

Ratcheted Up. You can read 400 odd reviews below about the great coffee at the brothers Lowe cafe. It's all true the coffee is, and always has been, great, possibly the best in Perth. Easily better than the usual suspects you see in the top 10 best cafe/coffee articles (who are the coffee philestine's who write that stuff?). Ignore those articles unless Lowdown features prominently.<br/><br/>No one else in Perth is as dedicated to serving quality filter coffee. A different bean each week. Tasting notes on the counter. Best filter and best value to boot.<br/><br/>The espresso is first class. Not your usual chocolate bomb. Thoughtful, flavour filled espresso that the next shop isn't selling and has no chance of making as well.<br/><br/>The food has always been great, but it's gone to outstanding. <br/><br/>Their tiny kitchen pumps out all their food.<br/><br/>I often leave Lowdown feeling like I've been wasting money at restaurants. The team is spending the time to think through, test and taste their food and deliver great flavours.<br/><br/>The sandwiches are first class. No one is doing anything remotely as interesting in the city or putting anywhere near the effort. There's a good rotation of fillings and frequently new additions.<br/><br/>The muffins are Perth's best. They're not butter filled either so are healthier than most. Crunchy tops, soft inside and fresh fillings throughout.<br/><br/>The cupcakes are some of the best I've had, the banana with mocha frosting and salted peanuts was my all time favourite cupcake anywhere.<br/><br/>Fantastic. We're lucky to have them.

Radiohead. I decided to get a coffee this morning and a co-worker usually grabs her mid-morning coffee at Lowdown. Exceedingly busy, to be expected at 10am and completely understandable. The wait wasn't as long as I thought it would be. The coffee was surprisingly delightful, not burnt nor bitter considering the expected fluster of a busy environment. Unfortunately the person who served me, gave me the incorrect muffin however the mistakenly given dark chocolate with pear was nice. The chocolate was gooey though pear bites were firm. I am still somewhat undecided, will need to purchase again to explore more products and experience varied customer service.

Awesome.. I have only been here a few times, and each time I have had a good coffee. The thing that impresses me the most is the way the owners remember your order regardless how often you visit. One of the very few coffee spots worth visiting within the Perth CBD.

Love Low Down. Great coffee made by the charming beardy baristas. They remember you, your preference and are quite quick. There is often a long line of people waiting but these charming men whip through the orders pretty quickly and it is well worth the wait.

Consistently good!. LOVE THIS PLACE! Regardless of whether I drop in once a month, or visit three times a week, the boys always remember how I like my coffee. That and they always have a great smile for everyone. One of my favourite places in the CBD for great coffee.

The guys here are super friendly and the coffee is delicious!

Awesome filters, banged out super quick. hotter than the sun. super friendly cats behind the machine and till.

LowDown does good, cheap coffee. But it's also consistently not hot, and often a little milky - cold by the time I get back to work, but at least it is never burnt :-/ wait times can be a killer, so lowdown is a victim of its prime location and reasonable price in many respects. Their cakes and muffins are tasty too

BEST COFFEE in PERTH! Seriously the best coffee in perth, no joke! You won't be disappointed. Can I buy into the partnership guys? Xx

The guys here are always super friendly, there can be a 10-15 minute wait sometimes but the coffee is generally good, sometimes not very hot and milky but overall pretty nice!

Get serve by the kings of Leon at low down. Consistent coffee and a 15 min wait... I can see why though. Amazing coffee

Excellent. Great value espresso bar serving smooth consistent coffee. Slightly milky but very nice flavours in the cup with a robust finish. Servced at drinkable temperature. Service with a smile. <br/>If i'm around the area it is definately the place of choice for me.

Best Muffins Ever!. And their coffees are delicious. Too bad that they're also super popular and hence the queues for the coffees. So I always grab a muffin instead to get my Lowdown fix. never disappoints :)

Love it. Love lowdown so much. This is my new favourite spot. Great, supercheap coffee served by some really friendly dudes. Haven't tried their sweet treats but they smell superb. Why can't other cafes follow suit and cut off a dollar from their prices?!

Little gem. Tasty coffee (darker roast, so it's a more bitter) which is well priced and served with some friendly customer service. Sandwiches are tasty too.

Great coffee and really friendly staff. Worth the wait when it gets busy.

Mmmm MUFFINS. I try not to buy my morning beverages too often, but Lowdown seems to have a horrible habit of luring me in with their mouthwatering muffins and delicious coffee. If that wasn't incentive enough, it's run by the possibly funkiest guys in town and I think I would hang out there for the music they play alone! I would love to know how they always manage to remember my name even though it can be weeks/months between my visits...

Great little find. I was in the city last week and call in for a light lunch and a coffee, the coffee, food and service were all excellent!<br/>The next weekday I am in the city and looking for coffee/lunch, this will be my first choice.

Brilliant!. This coffee shop is great. It probably has the cheapest coffee in Perth, the quality is great and the service is great too. The staff even remember people by name and are happy to have a chat with you. I would highly recommend Lowdown. It is in my top 3 favourite coffee shops in Western Australia.

Hey don't mean to rock the boat but each time I've bought a coffee here it's been quite average....not much depth or sweetness in the beans. Still reckon Howard St/Ristretto is the one.
