Mamalilli - Mount Lawley

A great little find situated in The Rise complex in Maylands, Mamalilli's is a small breakfast and lunch cafe with good, simple food and friendly service. I've visited twice recently for brunch and lunch, and enjoyed the reasonably priced food and the good coffee. I've tried the Spanakopita pastry which wasn't bad, but enjoyed their toasted sandwich much more. They didn't have the avocado toast we wanted so they suggested we try the toasted egg, cheese and beetroot. Beetroot in a toasted sandwich?  It actually worked really well and my friend and I ordered one each. It was a massive sandwich though, and we could have easily shared one as neither of us could finish it. The sourdough toast was beautiful too.  You can always get a table here, and they have a range of cakes and sweet things that look appealing. They also have free wifi, so I take my laptop and do some work for an hour or so. There's a huge grassed area in front, so you can take the kids and sit outside it it's fine, and let them have a run around.I love the chalkboards above the counter and the little vases of fresh flowers on the tables.  They have daily lunch specials, and offer a high tea on the weekend that sounds great cheaper than many other high tea venues and with plenty of free parking available. Mamalilli's is a one of those tucked-away gems that you wouldn't know about if you hadn't read about it on Zomato it's how I discovered it.   Away from the busier cafe strip on Whatley Cres, it's a pleasant little spot to enjoy a brunch or lunch, and I love that you can always find a parking spot behind the building or on the street.

Mamalilli is nestled under the Rise overlooking the park and is a real gem. It's run by a husband and wife team who clearly are talented in the kitchen and know what service is about. The chef ... Yes chef has actually won a few awards for fine dining establishments. Wits he doing in this tiny cafe .... who cares? Try it and you will see. The coffee is good the food even better. There was a large group of us and we sat outside on a spring day, perfect. We could talk easily and yet we were not forgotten. I will be back !
