Chu makes a great stop before or after exploring nearby Hyde Park. The coffee is excellent, the doughnuts superb, and the sourdough bread recommended if you're planning a beach picnic at Cottesloe or City Beach. For a picnic lunch, a favourite outdoor combo is takeaway espresso and toast topped with creamy avocado, whipped feta and sriracha sauce.
