Nestled under the gum trees on the banks of the Derbal Yerrigan (Swan River), Peninsula Farm Cafe is a destination cafe with an ethos of sustainability and simplicity.
The cafe is set in the grounds of the National Trusts’ Peninsula Farm – one of Perth’s earliest colonial residences – an area known as Wu-rut Woorat, that has been the land of the Wadjuk people for thousands of years.
Using organic, seasonal and sustainable local produce, we’ve crafted a menu of mindfully good food & delicious coffee. We are proud to showcase the delights of local artisans and producers, and seasonal ingredients, to bring delicious healthy food to your plate and pantry.
All are welcome at Peninsula Farm Cafe, with wholesome menu options for kids as well as an interactive wooden playscape, and treats available for your furry friends, who are welcome in the cafe outdoor area.
