Bayswater residents rejoice – you no longer have to make the trek out of your hood to get a great coffee and delicious food bursting with flavour. Open for almost a year, Drip Expresso on King William Street has become a go-to for locals who keep returning for the fab food, friendly service and of course the coffee, courtesy of Five Senses.

The charming, vintage feel of the cafe is instantly appealing, as is the mouthwatering Moroccan/Mediterranean-inspired menu. You’re encouraged to bliss out in the gorgeous rear garden while making your decisions. Standouts include the Shakshuka Eggs with labne, dukka and Merguez sausage; Chermoula Chicken and quinoa salad with hummus, tomato, cucumber, feta and hazelnut/maple syrup dressing; Roasted cumin pumpkin and lentil salad, with spinach and baba ghanoush. Indulge a sweet tooth with the Coconut Pancakes with salted caramel, or the house made Banana Bread with honey and crushed nuts.

Can’t decide what to have? Go for the House Platter: smoked salmon, slow roasted tomato, poached egg on toast and a pot of house muesli with yogurt and berries.

The charcoal bread is massively popular too, “Literally to die for – was out of this world!” as one diner recently exclaimed. Everything is made in house using quality local produce and the prices are very reasonable, with everything $14 or less.

At the the helm of Drip are owners Abdul and Loubdna Belhassan. You might remember this talented husband and wife team from their previous venues – Casablanca in Osborne Park and Fez Cafe in Mount Lawley. The couple loves Bayswater and felt it was the perfect location for their new venture, as Loubdna explains: “There were no cafes in the area and King William is such a beautiful street, so we wanted to bring something a little special for the locals to enjoy.”

For a quick brekkie on the run, a leisurely lunch or coffee and cake, you can’t go past Drip Expresso. Open 6 days from 6am to 3pm. Closed Sundays and public holidays. Drip Expresso is on Facebook.
