There’s a new spot to add to your Perth coffee hit list — and yep, it’s another gem from hospitality legend Charlie Austen.
After handing over the reins of his beloved southern suburbs café Charlies, Charlie has teamed up with the crew behind Cup & Co to open High Horse — a fresh, modern café with a whole lot to love.
Location
📍 You’ll find it nestled on the corner of Stirling Hwy and Airlie Street in Claremont, right below a brand‑new 380‑room apartment complex. It's light, spacious, and has both indoor and outdoor seating — plus, free undercover parking (a rare and glorious thing).
Coffee
The coffee? As expected, top‑notch. Beans are from local legends Brew Coffee, and the quality is exactly what you’d expect from someone who knows their way around a specialty cup.
Marketplace
But High Horse isn’t just about coffee. This spot is part café, part curated local marketplace. You’ll find boutique gifts, ready‑made meals under $10 (yes, really), fresh pasta, beautiful pastries and cakes, and even fresh artisan bread to take home. It’s the kind of place you pop into for a coffee… and leave with lunch, dinner, and a gift for your mum.
Vibe & Catering
It’s got a slower, more relaxed pace than Charlie’s original café — perfect for a quiet catch‑up, solo coffee break, or browse through the retail nook. Oh, and they cater too, with options ideal for small events or office lunches.
