I used to live near the Mount Lawley cafe strip in Perth and at that time I got addicted to visiting the Exomod cafe at 615 Beaufort Street, both because the drinks they make are fantastic (I became a big fan of their hot chocolates) and they always have decadent cakes to serve up too. Plus, it's one of the few places in Perth that actually opens late - apparently it's 24 hours over the weekend which is really rare.

Recently I've seen a few signs up in other parts of the city saying that new Exomod cafes will open there soon. There is already another one in South Perth (off Mill Point Road) and the new ones I've seen will be in Newcastle Street, Northbridge, and right in the city centre in the Murray Street Mall, in the shop where the Lindt Chocolate shop used to be. Of course, I was devastated to see the chocolate shop close but a new Exomod will be a good substitute. The owner is a local and they're now franchising the whole Exomod theme - rumour has it that there will be 20 Exomods in the future. If you're visiting Perth and walk past one - it's bright red so you probably won't miss it - definitely stop by. The Mount Lawley one has free Wi-Fi and I can only assume the franchises will follow suit.
