    It's a big call to make but I consider this the best coffee in the Perth CBD. Can't fault it. Fabulous. Try the delicious action bars (but leave me one!).

    Best tasting coffee in CBD for my money. Smooth complex blend with no off flavours whatsoever. Great service, great price.

    These guys are great fun providing top notch customer service and pleasant coffee. If only other places around Perth demonstrated customer service like Low Down does.

    If, like Spinal Tap's amplifiers, I could crank up Beanhunter to score 11, for Low Down I certainly would.

    A follow up review is in order for the Low Down lads given they have been churning out brilliant coffee for well over a year.

    Without a doubt this is the best coffee in the Perth CBD and can be put down to the owners being active in the business everyday and having a love for what... Read more

    Nice coffee. Very smooth. Maybe a bit too smooth? But it certainly will impress most palates

    Great coffee every single time!

    Quick friendly service by guys who really know what they are doing...and have freakish powers of memory! I'm only in Perth one week out of six yet they still remember me and what I drink! Seriously, it's like a very minor super-power!

    Low Down is a nice cafe with friendly people but in the Perth CBD I'd still prefer Zekka or Ristretto for serious espresso.

    Very polite, eager to tell you all they know about their coffees, this place is like a good Melbourne café without all the traffic of crowds.

    My espresso, a Market Lane blend, is sharp and acidic, leaving a great long lasting taste. Mild scorched almonds and spices make this one... Read more

    I agree with the below reviewers, low down has awesome, richly flavoured coffee made by the friendlist owners/baristas. Food-wise, must tries are the toasted Turkish breads and the breakfast bars.

    ticks all the boxes in my book. Friendly owners, well made coffees. little poky as a space, but watching them make coffee, it's more of a takeaway joint.

    Ok, there can occasionally be a wait, but for the quality of the service, and most of course, the coffee, you cannot go wrong.

    After my return back to Perth from Melbourne and the comparison, you guys definitely meet the criteria I desire.

    It's all about my time management... Read more

    It's a goodun! I thought it was called Bee Gees coz that's who the brothers behind the bar remind me of. Service is near perfect and coffee the same.

    Excellent flat whites! I was impressed that they offered a choice of temperatures and were happy to serve us at a table in the arcade seating (the shop itself only has stools) even though it seemed to be the morning peak.
    The queue outside this 'hole in the wall' shop bespeaks a good local... Read more

    After reading reviews for Low Down, I got straight off my laptop and headed into the city.
    It didn't disappoint. Coffee was beautiful, couldn't fault anything. Nice blend.
    The guys there are gorgeous, went back the next day and one of the baristas remembered my order. Niiice.Read more

    Good coffee with nice balanced flavours. Friendly staff, but I lucked out speed wise as I hit the cafe at the tail end of a rush. Top work overall! Helping to raise the Perth standard.

    Not a place to impressed.. Reminds me of a coffee shop in Sydney but coffee is divine!! Right temperature... Fragrant!! People were friendly too! I asked about the milk and they happily told me all about it and more! One of my fav coffee place now!
