RISTRETTO, Central Arcade, 160 St Georges Tce and 22 Howard St, Perth… These favourites of the CBD suits is frantic at 8.30am as the baristas and their knowing smiles churn out cup after takeaway cup of delightful black gold. Ristretto was voted as serving the best coffee in the city during the City of Perth’s Eat Drink Perth month and for good reason — its specialised roasts are superior and the baristas supreme. The coffee is a thing of beauty with its rich, honey-hued crema bleeding through the milk foam.

A black coffee is a good test of any café; without the milk, the coffee either shines through or tastes like muck. This one was absolutely perfect: smooth and rich but not bitter, obviously ground and brewed to perfection. Ristretto roasts its own beans as well, so you know it’s fresh.
