Potato Potahto is a laid-back café tucked a little off the beaten path in Carine, offering a spot where locals seem to gather for solid coffee and straightforward, comforting meals. It’s the kind of place you pop into when you want a good long black or flat white brewed with care, and it’s clear from the regulars’ chatter that their coffee stands out among Perth cafés. The staff are attentive and welcoming, ready to accommodate special requests, which adds a personalized touch that regulars appreciate.

The menu is practical and satisfying, featuring crowd-pleasers like cheeseburgers and breakfast options such as bacon and egg burgers that stand out for their homey flavors. There’s also a homemade feel to smaller bites, like sausage rolls and quiches, that locals enjoy on a casual lunch or brunch break. Although the café doesn’t sit right on the coast, it captures a warm, family-friendly vibe that invites a relaxed visit any day of the week.

Internally, the atmosphere leans towards cozy and easygoing rather than trendy or bustling. It works well for quiet mornings when you want to ease into your day with quality coffee or for midday catch-ups over a well-made meal. Outdoor seating options aren’t highlighted frequently, suggesting the real draw is inside where the attentive service and familiar faces create a comfortable, neighborhood café feel.

For visitors, Potato Potahto fits anyone looking for a casual spot with dependable coffee and honest, satisfying food without any fuss. It’s particularly suited to those who appreciate thoughtful service and a small local place that feels more like a community living room than a commercial café. Mid-mornings through lunch are likely the peak times here, when the kitchen dishes up those standout burgers and the coffee machines hum steadily.

This place just ticks all boxes. Coffee is one of the best I had in Perth. I have tried several of their dishes. For me the zucchini slice hit the spot. However the bacon and egg burger is exceptional! The owners are extremely attentive to all my unusual request. This place is a bit off-road so not getting the attention it deserves for a coastal cafe.

I think I’ve found my new favourite place for lunch! The staff are absolutely lovely, very welcoming. The menu has a great selection from waffles to burgers. My friend got the chicken burger, he said it was the best one he’s had in ages, I got a sausage roll and a little quiche which were both homemade, the quiche was delicious, the pastry nice and crumbly and thin, the filling was well seasoned and fluffy. The pork and fennel sausage rolls were the best sausage roll I’ve had. I told the waitress this and as they were closing they gave me the last one which I was more than happy to have. I’m looking forward to trying the waffles next time.

Coffee was great. They even got the almond milk to froth up a lot. Cakes were disappointing. Not very tasty and the croissant was quite dry. The staff were all very friendly though.

I tried this quaint, fresh little cafe for my lunch break. The service first of all was friendly and prompt. The food was the big kicker. Ordered the Popeye and it did not disappoint. The chicken fillet was bigger then the burger. Talk about eating with you eyes first! It was tender inside and crispy out. Best burger I've had in a while. Will definitely return when I'm in the area. Worth a check.
