We had brunch at Perks Kitchen a while back when the Covid restrictions weren’t in place and everything was a little more normal - We ordered Pancakes w Ice cream, berries and Spanish, Tomato, Basil Gnocchi. The cafe was kind of hard to find because we didn’t really know our way around the Westfield Shopping centre but when we arrived there the staff were lovely and seated us outside pretty quickly. The environment I think was quiet, perfect place for a great catchup with friends. The food prices were standard for cafes in the area and the food was served timely. The pancakes were a little on the sweet side but still a filling meal. It was @kimberleyndinh first time eating Gnocchi and it was pretty tasty, minus the sauce being a little too creamy. Overall the cafe was a lovely experience and highly recommended for catchup brunch.
Perk’s Kitchen is one of the eateries in the outside restaurant section of Westfield Garden City, alongside the likes of PappaRich and Devon Cafe. We had walked past a number of times, but somehow hadn’t actually eaten there, although they have been open for a few years now. The well-signed exterior of Perk’s Kitchen.
Get the chicken sandwich. It's a regular go to when Perk's kitchen comes into the rotation. Just a simple selection of ingredients put together well.
Done
Been here twice now for dinner with friends and loved every minute of it, such amazing atmosphere friendly staff members quick services cant seem to fault it at all.

Decided to visit Perk’s kitchen for a breakfast/brunch catch up with friends. The cafe emanates a nice quaint, urban vibe and is decorated very with an eco-feel. Upon being seated we were given our menus along with the table water. The table water is not usually something to be commented on, however, the table water provided here was a small glass (around the size of a coke or beer glass) and this was for 4 people. Despite being provided with small cups as well, we definitely needed another bottle or two of the ‘table water’.
For breakfast (before 11:30am) there are about 7 options along with a variety of drinks. I decided to order the waffles with the berry compote and hokey pokey ice cream for $14.90. For $14.90 I was quite disappointed with the amount of food on the plate, only two waffles, two scoops of ice- cream and a dollop of berry compote. I guess it really is all about the experience in these ‘hipster cafes’. My friends decided to order the eggs benedict which was around the $20 mark. I had to steal a bit of the hollandaise and pulled pork. The flavours worked so well but I would still say it is a bit on the pricey side. The last dish ordered was the halloumi stack. The vegetables were seasoned perfectly and roasted well. The halloumi was slightly over cooked but the flavours in this dish worked so well together.
Overall, this cafe is a bit more on the pricey side but does serve up very aesthetically looking foods that do taste very good. Would love to come here again and try the lunch or dinner menu!
The menu at Perks is different, and delicious! The service is always excellent and friendly, we find. Went for dinner last night and chose their new menu addition 'Superfood Salad Bowl' - it's amazing, every mouthful! I loved it! Congrats to the creative owner who put it on their menu :D
Just came in for a meal with my family and I can't get over how fresh and delicious the food was! The wait staff were also fantastic - super friendly & attentive, smiles from everyone as we walked in and paid for the meals. Will definitely be coming back soon!
Food are averagely good but chips are definitely worth going for.
At garden city shopping centre and if everytime I am thinking what to eat does recommend this cafe more than the others

We went there a couple of weeks ago my daughter and I haven't been back since big renovations to garden city
As good as ever!! Great attentive service my daughter ordered the breakfast with eggs haloumi avocado etc I placed a side order to go with that of the grilled mushrooms haloumi sourdough dough bread and extra bacon I expressed the use of 2 plates which was absolutely No problem drinks also ordered hot cocoa and flat white
We didn't have to wait very long even though the place was full and we had to sit in the Nandos adjacent sitting area outside
The food was very tasty, eggs to her liking avocado fresh no colour discolouration on the green creamy flesh my order was indeed on a seperate plate, the waitress was very sweet and pleasant and gently enquires why we had 2 plates... I told her with thanks I am allergic to egg yolks and avocado and it was not due to cost cutting but born out of allergies and my abdominal surgery, she was so lovely completely understand and thanked me for my honesty
My meal was perfect warm grilled tasty mushrooms grilled haloumi of generous portion beautiful fresh sourdough with.... fresh butter!!! Not rock hard soft like at my house, just like my daughter said " mum this is what u used to make me years ago"
Terrific scrumptious mortals very busy but attention to detail and quality has not dropped price is dearer... but that is just a sight of the times I unfortunately left my phone in the car so didn't grab any photos not that it would have done it justice.... as they say "the proof of the pudding is in the eating
Tried and tested as usual. Been here a few times in the past. Usually only to get takeaway coffee as they use Campos Coffee. Probably the one of the better coffee establishments in Westfield Garden City.
Coffee aside, I've eaten here twice before. Today I ordered the Grilled Haloumi dish with the "suggested" side of bacon (recommended by one of the friendly staff). Nice poached eggs, avo, with a hint of Dukkah?
Only minor criticisms is the takeaway cups that line the shelves on the walls. Plus the staff is a little inconsistent from person to person. Some super friendly excellent staff to less experienced unsure types. I realize it's casual dining, so that's to be expected in the hospitality industry.
