Scott Street Coffee House

Scott Street Coffee House is the cosy, history-themed local cafe in Helena Valley that turns up on Perth foothills pet-friendly roundups, and it makes a practical end point for a foothills walk: all-day breakfast and lunch, free off-street parking and an alfresco area where dogs are welcome.

The dog setup

Dogs join you in the outdoor alfresco space, leashed and settled, with no extra fees and no fuss from the team. Water bowls and shade for dogs are not a confirmed feature, so pack a portable bowl, and on a hot Perth morning aim for the tables that catch the early shade. Indoor seating stays humans-only.

Worth knowing

The menu leans hearty cafe classics with a few curves: reviewers call out the salmon bagel, the banana bread and the frittata, and gluten-free options are covered. Coffee gets a good wrap and the staff friendliness comes up in nearly every review. Doors open 7am weekdays and Saturdays, with a later 8am start on Sundays, and trade wraps early afternoon each day, so breakfast and lunch are the windows.

Getting there

The cafe sits at 164A Scott Street, Helena Valley, a short hop from Midland and the Swan Valley side of the hills. There is free off-street parking on site plus street parking nearby, which is easier than most Perth Hills cafe stops manage.

Close by with the dogs

The fenced run at Swan View Fenced Dog Park is a few minutes up the hill for an off-lead session before or after. Back toward Midland, Love Avenue Cafe is the neighbouring dog-friendly coffee stop, and the drive-thru at Muzz Buzz Midland covers the no-time-to-stop mornings.
