About

About Forklore

Forklore opened in the City West Centre precinct in West Perth, Western Australia, as a small-batch brunch cafe with a distinctly Japanese-Australian identity. The name itself is a play on 'folklore' and 'fork' — a nod to the shared stories built around a meal. From the beginning, the team set out to create a menu that took everyday cafe staples and reimagined them through the lens of Japanese technique and flavour, resulting in dishes like a chicken katsu sando served on pillowy shokupan, and udon noodles finished with creamy mentaiko roe.

The cafe quickly gained a devoted following in the Perth food scene, earning praise not only for its standout mains but for the handcrafted pastry cabinet that greets guests on arrival. Double-baked croissants filled with garlic cream cheese, kare pan (Japanese curry buns), and rotating seasonal bakes sit alongside specialty coffee drinks including black sesame lattes and hojicha — all made to order. Forklore's ethos is rooted in quality over quantity: a tight, considered menu executed with precision rather than a sprawling selection.

Located on Railway Street in the City West Centre, Forklore serves the West Perth business community and attracts visitors from across greater Perth on weekends. The cafe operates Monday through Friday from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm, and Saturday through Sunday from 8:00 am to 3:00 pm. Online ordering is available through their website at forkloreperth.com, and the cafe can be reached at +61 422 078 028.

What makes Forklore's Chicken Katsu Sando special?

Forklore's Chicken Katsu Sando uses a Maryland chicken fillet that is double-fried for maximum crunch, then placed inside shokupan — a soft, fluffy Japanese milk bread. It's finished with a yuzu and jalapeño slaw, amazuke (pickled) cucumber, and classic tonkatsu sauce, and served with chips seasoned with chicken salt. The combination of textures and the quality of the bread set it apart from typical katsu sandwiches.

Is Forklore suitable for a quick weekday breakfast?

Yes — Forklore opens at 7:00 am on weekdays, making it one of the earlier-opening cafes in the West Perth area. For a quick grab-and-go option, the pastry cabinet (croissants, muffins, kare pan) and specialty coffee are ideal. If you have more time, the sit-down brunch mains like congee or udon are a more substantial option.
