Love the Mt Lawley cafe scene, but find the traffic and noise get a bit much sometimes? Then you’ve got to try Secondeli Cafe. Perched in a prime spot on the corner of Second Avenue and Beaufort Street, this buzzing little place offers the best of both worlds. It’s located close enough to still feel a part of all the action, but just far enough away from the crowds to give it a relaxed village vibe.

A great location is nothing without good food and coffee and Secondeli’s are both top notch. Serving breakfast and lunch, the all-day menu is jam packed with delicious offerings. Prime your tastebuds with a fresh juice or smoothie before tucking into the yummy food. There’s a Meditteranean flavour to several of the dishes, a nod to the owners heritage. The Shakshuka Eggs with merguez sausage, labne and dukka is a standout, as is the Chermoula Chicken and Quinoa salad.

The poached egg with spinach and smashed avocado on charcoal toast is a winner – yes charcoal toast!  Charcoal bread not only tastes fantastic, but provides loads of health benefits too. There’s heaps of vegetarian options, such as the Spanakopita or Roasted Cumin, Pumpkin and Lentil salad. Save some room for a treat because the house-made cakes, muffins and pastries are sublime, especially when teamed with Secondeli’s fabulous coffee, courtesy of Five Senses.

Open for just a few short weeks, locals are flocking to Secondeli Cafe like ducks to water. Great food, knockout coffee, reasonable prices and friendly service – what’s not to love? The cafe is owned by Abdul & Loubdna Belhassan and Mike Adron. The Belhassans have a lot of industry experience. They also run the charming Drip Expresso in Bayswater and previously had Fez Cafe in Mt Lawley. This culinary couple has a knack for finding unused spaces and transforming them into neighbourhood gems. Open 7 days from 6am to 4pm. Closed on public holidays. Find Secondeli Cafe on Facebook.
