John Street Cafe

Breakfast or lunch under the Norfolk pines gives John Street Cafe a very different feel from the beachfront. The cafe sits in a much-loved neighbourhood building at 37 John Street, with roots stretching back to an early cottage on the site and a later house-and-shop combination. It’s an easy local stop for coffee, brunch or lunch, just a short walk from the beach. It's also a great place to retreat to on a windy day.

Find the cafe at 37 John Street, a short walk inland from Marine Parade. Approach the house-and-shop frontage from the public footpath.

The history is a little more layered than a single 1903 building date suggests. A small timber cottage was erected here around 1903, the main house followed around 1915, and the shop was added in the 1930s. The result is a rare Cottesloe example of a combined house and shop, and the property appears on the Town’s heritage inventory for its contribution to the John Street streetscape.

The site later traded as Arcadia Deli before gradually evolving into John Street Cafe in the 1980s. Today it serves breakfast and lunch daily, with outdoor seating, kid-friendly options and gluten-free choices. The mature Norfolk Island pines and quiet residential setting are a big part of the atmosphere, so it works well as a pause between the beach, Civic Centre and surrounding streets.
