Tucked beside the brilliant Mills Park Playground in Beckenham, Fika on Brix is the kind of cafe that makes park visits with kids feel a lot more relaxed. With good coffee, an all‑day style menu and a direct outlook over the play equipment, it’s a very easy spot to combine a bite to eat with a run around at the park.
Located within the Mills Park Centre, Fika on Brix sits at the back of the building, opposite the flying fox, so you’re only a few steps away from the Playground action. There’s a clean, modern, Scandinavian‑inspired feel to the cafe, with plenty of natural light and a fresh, uncluttered layout. There’s room to manoeuvre a pram, and highchairs are available, making it a practical choice for families with babies and toddlers.
Seating is a mix of indoor tables and outdoor spots that look towards the Playground. If you can snag an outside table, it’s ideal with young kids – you can usually keep an eye on bigger children playing while you wait for your food. Being right at Mills Park also means that before or after your meal you’ve got easy access to the fantastic Mills Park Playground, including water play and a flying fox, so it’s very much a destination cafe‑plus‑park outing.
Food-wise, Fika on Brix focuses on breakfast and brunch‑style dishes with a seasonal menu that changes through the year, along with a cabinet of cakes, pastries and light bites from their own kitchen and local suppliers.
Expect the kind of cafe favourites that work well for families – eggs, toasties, burgers, bowls and more – presented with a bit of flair but still approachable for kids.
The coffee is a real highlight: they pour Grand Central’s “Medium blend”, a smooth, creamy roast with caramel and milk‑chocolate notes designed to work beautifully with milk coffes.
There’s a kids’ menu that keeps things simple and familiar, with options such as toasties and sweet treats, and the cake cabinet is usually a big hit with little ones. On past visits, kids have happily tucked into cheese toasties and brightly iced cupcakes, while adults have enjoyed everything from bao buns to classic bacon‑and‑egg combinations. Service is friendly and generally efficient, even when the cafe is busy on weekend mornings. Ordering is at the counter, and food and drinks are brought to your table, which keeps things straightforward when you’ve got kids in tow.
Being right at Mills Park, takeaway is also very popular. Grabbing a coffee and something from the cabinet to enjoy on the grass or near the Playground is a great option if your children are too busy playing to sit still. Pet‑friendly outdoor seating means the family dog can come along as well.
With quality coffee, a relaxed Scandi‑inspired vibe, kid‑friendly food and one of Perth’s best Playgrounds right next door, Fika on Brix is an excellent choice for breakfast, brunch or a post‑play treat in Perth’s south‑east.
