We came for high tea and were blown away. The owner is so lovely and took the time to speak to each table. The food was incredible and loved the little pallette cleanser! We were able to byo which was a really nice touch especially for those not drinking. Will be back!

I had the most wonderful experience of a high tea at Kefi and Cake. The food was exceptional and the owner and her staff could not have been more delightful and attentive to the needs of my guest. We had gluten free options for one of my friends which is rare in a shop such as Kefi and Cake. We will definitely be recommending this establishment to others in future. . Thank you Zoe and staff

It was lovely to try Kefi and Cakes (previously Bites by D). They not only have all of the delicious cakes available but they also have a lunch menu with multiple delicious food choices such as waffles, avo on toast with poached eggs, chorizo and more (see attached menu as it’s not on their website). It was a little empty when we were there but that didn’t stop us from having a chat to the lovely owner and also ordering some freshly made brunch. Thank you! We’ll be back :)

We (my mother's group) had a lovely high tea today. We decided to treat ourselves for mother's day with a high tea here. There was a lovely assortment of savoury and sweet items. It's the best iced chocolate I've had in Perth - no overloaded with ice and rich and creamy. They catered well for those with dietary requirements. The staff were very nice and provided friendly service.

We had our wedding desserts catered by Kefi and Cake and they were amazing. Not only did everything look stunning, they were all delicious! We got so many compliments on the night about the desserts - have been told by more than one person it was the best dessert spread they'd ever seen. You could see the time and effort that would have gone in to make everything. We have since ordered a few birthday cakes from Kefi and Cake and they have all been beautiful and delicious. They have become our go to for dessert catering <3 To the wonderful owner Zoe, thank you so much for all of your hard work and for providing us with top tier desserts, being able to accommodate all the dietary requirements we had and being so lovely and helpful with the whole ordering process. It has been a pleasure dealing with you!
