Wild for Wild Poppy

Hey Guys,

I'd like to share a place that I have really taken a liking to for breakfast & morning catch-ups...

I came here with my husband a few Sunday's ago (packed!) but felt it was more a place that "the girls" would appreciate. So went out for breakfast on Monday morning with a few of the girls from work & met up at the gorgeous, character cafe, Wild Poppy. It is on the corner of Wray Ave & South Terrace in Fremantle and is a great place for a lazy catch-up with friends.

This place has an interesting & different breakfast menu which is a rare find in Perth.
I love going out for breakfast (yes, I give myself a break from the "Glowing Green Smoothie" every now & then), but am always dissapointed that you wind up with the same vegetarian selection and the usual list of museli, cooked breaky & pancakes.
Plus, taste wise, we do a better job at home!!

However, Wild Poppy offers a breakfast selection that even vegetarians have multiple dishes to choose from. From Europe to Asia, there's a mix of worldly influence to the menu such as the Crab Omelet or the the Chilli Masala Eggs (I had these!). Plus you have an eye popping selection of pastries, slices & cakes temptingly arranged on the counter where you order. There's freshly squeezed juices & if you order tea, it comes in quintessentially mismatched tea-pot & tea-cups.

Very vintage, very granny &  very chic.

Chocolate & Custard Pastry

The decor is also something that is worth checking out if you are into the retro, vintage look. At each end of the cafe there are comfy colourful mismatched couches & armchairs that you can sink into, with wonky collections of floral prints hanging above. After breakfast, we headed over to the couched area to finish our drinks. It made you feel like you were at someone's house - these spots will be fantastic in Winter with a pot full of tea, chocolate croissants & a group of friends. I loved the lighting idea aswell - creative make-shift gigantic light shades that were made from crochet lace table-cloths or lace doilies joined together. It really finished the place off from top to bottom. You can also dine outside on the sidewalk weather permitting.

Now for the food...

A little over-priced, but hey, every dining experience in Perth is overpriced!

I am happy to pay that little extra for the "character" of the place & the choice of food.



 Steph's Omelette w/ Chorizo, Feta & Spinach - However, I tried to order this without chorizo, but they don't change anything! The Omelette is HUGE

This was my VERY rich & filling Chilli Masala Eggs on Flatbread. It was spicy enough for me (perhaps not enough for a chilli lover though) & eggs were perfectly done - not too runny, but runny enoguh to break open to allow the yolk to ooze through. The Flatbread was more like puff pastry, but still thoroughly enjoyed a different Vego option



Linda's Crab Omelette w/ Ginger, Chilli & Oyster Sauce - Hearty & Tasty

Karen's Breakfast Bruscetta w/ Avocado, Buffalo Mozzarella & Tomato
(plus an added extra of smoked salmon)
A lighter, fresh option.

You can create your own fresh juice!

All in all, Wild Poppy is a great cafe full of character to enjoy breakfast or morning tea. For a drink, pastry & hot selection you are looking around $25-30. There's 2hr Parking off Wray Ave & a couple of boutiques to wander into after eating & gossiping. Very busy on weekend but food came out as promptly as it did on the Monday morning.
Will definitly be going again : )
