Boucla is a first stop for a real coffee when I return from the Pilbara each month.
I have coffee shops at my door step in Leedeville but travel to Subi for the quality. Without a doubt this guy makes the best coffee in Perth. It is always consistent in flavour, crema and temperature. I don't usually bother with a meal but often settle for the nut tart, which has a texture and flavour that lingers in your mouth long after it has been swallowed. I have tried most of the other dessert cakes there which are all great. The nut tart looks ordinary is simply unbelievable. Just 3 more weeks to go...
Every time I go there it is just flat out, somehow they get your order out in no time with a minimum of fuss in extremely confined space. The staff are inevitably happy despite the pressure they must be under.
The ambience is akin to a Moroccan bazaar with eclectic bits and pieces everywhere, lots of colour and style fill the void. It is a feast for the eyes while you wait and often a distraction to conversation but also a conversation piece. The customers are a varied bunch of interesting characters.
Overall:
If this restaurant doesn't serve the best coffee in Perth then I don't know which does.
Overall:
I love this cafe. It is one of the few places in Perth that you can walk into and feel as if you have been transported to another country. The decor is amazing and I love sitting looking at all the different tea pots, paintings and light fixtures. Nothing in Boucla matches yet everything fits together so well.
Coffee there is good, probably a result of a practiced barista. I have never seen anyone other than the same guy making coffee there. Boucla has an amazing array of cakes and treats and the baklava is to die for! You can also get decent lunch meals like Mediterranean couscous, Greek salad, paninis, bagels and much more.
The tiny court yard outside is small and intimate and lovely to sit in on a nice day. The only frustration with Boucla is that it is quite small and always packed. If you want a table you may not always get one and if you do it is often very close to other customers. Boucla is not just about good food and good coffee but rather it is an experience in itself. I could spend hours at this cafe with a good book and watch the day go by.
