Always come to this coffee shop before going into uni and it’s amazing. Coffee is lovely and the ham and cheese toasties are great. Service is top of the line as well

The definition of a hidden gem. A hidden little forest with great coffee and a little fire pit in the winter.

I wish there was a star rating for coffee because it would be ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tried all the coffee places in the area and only ever head to the Coffee Thief... Every single day. Even a trip to Melbourne was disappointing for coffee since this became our only go to. Gorgeous and friendly staff, huge supporters of the local community, a real hub for West Leederville residents of all ages and number of legs (our dog a huge fan too) Thank you for always making us feel welcome and for the best coffee in the west x (and east)

Great coffee, asked for extra hot so it was reasonably hot when served. Banana bread was buttered, generous and delicious. Raisin bread a bit small but juicy and nice too. Well priced, service friendly and a couple of small tables under the trees. Thought it was better than all the other cafes we’ve tried in West Leederville.
