Sapore Espresso Bar

Just came for brunch, I had the bacon, avocado and tomato on toast and my boyfriend did the make your own breakfast.
All really tasty would definitely come back.
Winners were the homemade beans, croquettes and the juice, particularly the apple, ginger and lemon which was perfectly balanced and not to bitter
Would avoid the sausage as the flavors where a bit strange and the rosti which was a bit greasy.
Fritters, milkshakes and cakes and doughnuts also looked yummy

Sapore have the best soy coffee I’ve tasted in ages!
We visited for a birthday treat and we enjoyed our meals athough there were a couple of issues. The service was very friendly but the staff were a bit muddled and my blueberry pancakes with white chocolate sauce came out with normal chocolate sauce — which wasn’t as tasty.
The eggs benedict was yummy and like I said we really enjoyed the coffee !
I don’t think I’m rushing back there but I would go again.

It’s Sunday morning, tucked away on a corner at Belmont Forum Shopping Centre and the patrons are already waiting in line. We anticipated a long wait but were lucky to be seated pretty quickly.
Ordered a Big Sapore, Nutella Gourmet Shake and Choc-​Peanut Butter Shake. Food was served within 10 mins despite how busy they were. Overall, the Big Sapore was was pretty good though I thought the poach eggs were slightly overdone and sourdough toast was a bit dry. Other than that, I really liked the meal and I would have it again.
The kicker was the sinful Gourmet Shakes. It completed the food experience for us. What sealed the deal for us was when the staff checked with us that our meals were made to our satisfaction.
Keep up the good work team! Really putting Belmont on the map of Perth.

Really nice staff, very friendly, happy and smiley people! That’s so important for customer service. A nice selection for food and sweets. They have thought out of the box on their gourmet milkshakes and specialty homemade muffins. Honestly it was refreshing to see a different menu for once unlike other Cafes that are cliché.
I enjoyed the atmosphere they had music playing, it had a few people inside. You have the option of eating inside or outside. Parking was a bit of trouble but you eventually find somewhere to park.
I will be returning for sure!

Great coffee, food, location nice and big with newspaper available to read. Food is always amazing. Definitely worth a visit.

This much needed café in Belmont, accross fron Belmont forum is well designed and layed out. Its very busy on the weekenda so come early or prepare for a wait. Both the food on tbe breakfast and dinner menu are both delish and well thought out. The coffee is fabulous and they do a variety of non cafenated beverages also. The only real downers are the noise levels inside and the long waits. But i still go back for more :)

As a teenager, Belmont was my ‘hood, though I would’ve happily denied that fact to any passerby. More known for hooligans than good coffee, the area around Belmont Forum was… well, a little dodgy.
However, I’m happy to say that the last ten years have been kind to Belmont and its cultural scene. The opening of Reading Cinemas injected an immediate sense of ‘nightlife’ to the Forum complex whilst progressively, hospitality chains started investing into some real estate.
But, despite the presence of sub sandwiches in the Forum precinct, there was still little to draw me there from the café strip of Victoria Park. Cue the opening of Sapore espresso bar, an owner-​operated Italian café with modern décor and breakfast items to rival many city joints.
We visited on a Friday morning for breakfast and coffee before raiding the craft section at K-​mart (as you do). The external façade of Sapore isn’t exactly striking (it seems to be situated in a commercial office block) but the staff were immediately warm and welcoming.
We ordered two lots of Bircher muesli, a cappuccino and soy flat white, all of which were pretty darn good. The muesli was accompanied by julienned fresh apple, strawberries and stewed rhubarb, all of which were delicious against the creamy soaked oats. I could only demolish half of it (rare for me) which made it pretty good value for the price ($ 13.90) too.
By the end of our breakfast, this little place was bustling which must be sad for the fast food joints that once dominated Belmont’s breakfast scene.
I look forward to seeing this place, and it’s suburb, continue to thrive.

I finally got to Sapore after having milkshake envy every time I looked on instagram! So of course the first thing I chose was my chocolate peanut butter milkshake which did not disappoint! So I just chose plain and simple poached eggs on toast to go with it, which were okay but nothing special, though not that I cared after having my milkshake! The staff were really nice, although one staff member was weirdly over friendly and kept talking to us…

First time here. This morning on Sunday.
Staff very friendly, coffee was OK. Really impressed they have almond milk, definitely extra points there.
I also ordered the Rhubarb bircher, very delicious. I find it funny with their location, it’s right on the corner is a strange place but it’s certainly a lot larger on the inside then it appears from outside.

Belmont doesn’t feature highly in the gourmet food scene, but it’s great to see a contender with the Sapore Espresso Bar. It’s the perfect spot if you fancy breakfast food at 2pm, as their breakfast menu is available all day.
My son Alex and I decided to check it out for a late lunch, and he was eager to come and sample their legendary gourmet milkshakes. His nutella shake was super sweet and rich and he was fairly impressed with this liquid dessert. It was all chocolatey and creamy and even topped with a baci; as if there wasn’t enough chocolate stuff going on there. It was all a bit much for me though, so I settled for a freshly-​squeezed apple, ginger and lemon juice. I love fresh juices, though sadly, many breakfast places in Perth don’t seem to make them. Sapore’s version was served in a large jar which seems to be the trend these days, and was a refreshing change from my normal long mac in the afternoon.
As for food, Alex was tempted by the truffled scrambled eggs with shaved parmesan. This was a mighty serve; I’d say they used 3 eggs for this monster. He enjoyed his wobbly eggs which were cooked perfectly (I had a taste of course), but he had massive food envy over my mushroom bruschetta. This dish of 3 mushroom types with creamy subtle goats cheese, truffle oil and spinach was fresh, light and a good blend of flavours.
After we’d finished eating, the Sapore owner came out to chat with us, as we’d seen him do to all of the patrons. He wanted our opinions of the food and the service, and said it was important to him to talk and listen to the customers, and to instil in his staff that keeping customers happy was their primary focus.
All in all this was a pleasant, relaxing experience. I hear this place gets packed out on the weekends but on a Monday afternoon it was pretty chilled. I have to note that even though it wasn’t that busy inside the noise level was so high, we decided to dine outside. Luckily it was a perfect 28 degree spring day but in the heat of summer with the sun belting down I doubt it would be much fun outside. Those gourmet shakes would melt the minute they hit the table! I can only imagine the din inside on weekends when the place is packed out. For me, that’s the only negative about Sapore — everything else is fairly spot on.

I didn’t expect a Tuesday morning to be quite so busy, but I guess it’s like they say when you travel, go where all the people are.
The menu was mostly based on breakfast foods which was no problem for me because it’s my favourite meal of the day, except it made it really hard to choose. Eventually I decided on the Dukkah eggs which were perfectly poached, and just the right amount of balsamic glaze which really complemented the dish well.
As a gourmet milkshake lover, I couldn’t resist giving the Turkish Delight one a go, and OMG it was amazing. I was also tempted by the delicious looking cakes, slices, and nutella filled doughnuts at the counter which all looked to die for.
There wasn’t a long wait for our food considering the amount of people in there at the time which was really good, because some places can be quite the opposite. I’ll definitely be back as there is so much on the menu that I want to try, and it’s not too far out of the way

Great café!
Just stopped in for the gourmet milkshakes, I highly recommend the salted caramel and Nutella one — delish!
Is a pretty busy place on a Saturday morning, the breakfasts around us looked great so will go back again for brekky.

This place has gotten better with time.
The food is good and the staff are always friendly.
Makes sure you don’t have anything to do right after you go as it does take time to get your food and drinks.
It’s always packed. Queue to order is always long so if anything get in early when it opens.

Pretty happy to have this place as our local café. Great breakfast/​lunch menu with reasonable prices. The coffee is great and staff are always friendly. It gets pretty busy on the weekends so be prepared to wait for your table.

This great little place in Belmont prides itself on hearty, wholesome food. It serves breakfast and lunch.
I ordered a fresh juice and the red velvet pancakes. Service was very speedy and I received my juice within 5 minutes and my meal only a short time later.
The red velvet pancakes weren’t actually red velvet, they were light pink! But it didn’t actually matter as they were delicious, coming with berry coulis, chocolate sauce and icecream and a cream cheese ganache, which was to die for.
Menu looks great so I would be keen to come back and try more. They do gourmet milkshakes with flavours like Nutella and salted caramel popcorn, which look worth the trip back!

Good coffee and food and always busy, but if the pricey side but they do have a nice selection of food on the breakfast and lunch menu and there is no competition in the Belmont area at all until you move over in to vic park .
The guys and girls that run the show are very friendly and if your after something small (treats) or something takeaway they can sort you out as well.

My fiancé and I dropped in here for a breaky date on our way to work.
The place was buzzing when we got there but still had a few tables free.
The venue itself is very modern and somewhat industrial, a bit hipster perhaps?
We ordered our coffees and meals, the coffees came soon after we sat followed by our food a short while after.
Can I just say, I know good coffee, and I was very impressed — the coffee is a special blend (they tell me) and was phenomenal. This place is just down the road from my place of business and I assure you, it’s where I’ll be getting my takeaway coffees from now on!
The food came, I had the eggs Benedict, he had their version of a big breakfast. It was well presented but had that healthy, organicness vibe about it of which my partner and myself aren’t particularly fond of, so needless to say, it was ok but not up our alley. He’s a big eater and he left at least half on the plate.
My eggs were wonderfully poached but I didn’t like the hollandaise with its super lemony flavor and lack of density. Also, there was a tomato flavour somewhere that I suspect came from the clear liquid surrounding the main feature. I actually hate tomato so yeah, not great.
The service was friendly and the person I believe to be the manager came to check on our meals, I had a mouthful at the time so was unable to speak but he was very caring.
I have to reiterate, the coffee is spectacular and they have a big food and drink menu. I was eyeing off their deluxe milkshakes (PB & Choc, Salted Caramel Popcorn and Bounty?! — YUM!).
I will return for beverages but the food just isn’t for me.

Wow. Totally perth style menu. Loved the early sunday morning opening. Good design and layout. Great location and friendly atmosphere. I was driving around early before starting a workshop in cloverdale and this place caught me eye. Must be popular with the locals as there were a few waiting for 8.00 open.
Lots of gf and v option. So much better than McDonalds paper wrapped rubbish. Sorry to maccas lovers out there.
Dukkah eggs for breakfast this morning and omg what a brilliant combination. This will see me through till the arvo.
Peace and love to all. Have a great weekend

I love finding good quality cafes /​eateries beyond the usual Perth hotspots. This find just outside of Belmont Forum was perfect for an informal meeting, with a range of seating options from tables indoors or outdoors, benches and couches with coffee tables. My soy latte was good, but there is definitely more exciting options on the menu that are worth going back for (read: peanut butter milkshake).

I’m so glad I finally tried out Sapore after reading the reviews and hearing good things it certainly didn’t disappoint. I grew up in Belmont and this is exactly what the area needed — and you could tell by the line out the door for most of the morning!
My mum and I had a delicious breakfast here. I had the corn fritters with poached eggs and mum had the pancakes with banana and bacon. What I love is that it’s not overly expensive and you still get a whole lot on your plate for what you pay. Our meals didn’t take long to get to our table and they were fresh and full of flavour. I also had a fresh juice of Apple, lemon and ginger which really hit the spot on a hot summer morning.
The service was great and they have both indoor and outdoor seating. I didn’t try the coffee but lots of people were coming only for takeaway coffee so I assume it’s good. I wish I still lived in the area just to have this as my local! Loved it.
