Punching through the CBD like maraschino through clotted cream is King Street, Perth's pared-back version of Melbourne's Prahran. And on King Street you'll find Zekka, home to the uber-cool and tragically hip. Zekka is coffee and male fashion rolled into one, melding a cafe serving top-brass espresso and gourmet fare with a designer clothes shop for men, all housed in a sizable industrial space. It's a brave concept, but one that's working well for the three co-owners, who also run the quirky homeware store, Test Tube, in Mount Lawley.
The menu offers simple, picnic-style food that can be enjoyed on the premises for breakfast or lunch, or packed up and toted back to the office. And, barring a couple of desserts, it's all made in-house. The smoked salmon, cream cheese and spinach roulade with a hit of dijon teams up well with the spinach, hand-ripped bocconcini, hazelnut and wild mushroom salad, and makes for quite the substantial meal. Coffee, though, is what Zekka is becoming known for among Perth's barista boffins, with the team purchasing their beans from roasting supremos Campos in Sydney. My vote, though, goes to the excellent lemongrass and ginger tea from Adelaide's tea salon T Bar.
