Great place!! Paninis are to die for and the smoothies are so delish. The staff were amazing and so lovely. Definitely coming back again, such an awesome place :) Car park right across the road plus street parking too.

Popped in on a Saturday morning for a last-minute brekkie. They happily did my gluten-free toastie request – the bread was tiny but honestly one of the best toasties I’ve had in ages! Grabbed a chai latte and a GF orange loaf too… sooo good. There’s no indoor seating, just a couple of tables outside, and everything’s served takeaway style. Staff were super friendly. Will definitely swing by again next time I’m in the area!

A lovely cafe in Midland run by a sweet couple who really put lot of love into their small business. After reading so many amazing reviews I had to visit this place and I’m so happy I did. Their coffee is divine and we tried the highly recommended big brekkie sandwich which was delicious! Thank you for serving us today. Will definitely be back for more :)

My husband just told me, that's the best coffee I've ever had. I also had a beautiful chai latte. It's such a nice little shop too! We will be looking forward to coming back and trying more off the menu, thankyou!

I am an interstate traveler and coffee in Western Australia is a bit hit and miss. I spent 2-3 days before I found TLC. I thought the TLC was Total Love and Care because that's how I was treated. They served a giant sized coffee with a little crunchy cookie on top. The coffee was great and the panini was delicious. The thing that makes this cafe great was the owners lovely kiwi couple who took the time to know me over the few days. I came back three times in my week in perth, I wish them all the best
