We went there for coffee. We ordered three Flat Whites with Oat Milk and two tempting sweet treats. The coffee was good and strong. And the sweet threats were delicious. Excellent service. Lovely quirky layout too inside and out. Off the beaten track.

Surprising good cafe hidden away at the west end of Vincent St. Good coffee, great friendly staff and wonderful plants to wander around or view during a DMC, and dogs apparently welcomed.

Friendly staff. Located just off the main strip in Leederville, Babylon Cafe is a little gem. Nothing pretentious. Only a great coffee. In a relaxed atmosphere and dog friendly cafe. I enjoy a flat white every time I’m in Leederville on business.
