Welcome to Mallokup, the beloved cafe nestled within the grounds of Curtin University in Bentley, WA. This local gem isn’t just another stop between lectures; it’s a culinary retreat for students and staff alike, striking a perfect balance between high-quality fare and a friendly atmosphere.

Mallokup specializes in vibrant and soulful offerings that range from delectable cinnamon scrolls to indulgent croissant sandwiches and mouthwatering New York-style cookies. Each item on the menu is crafted with care, utilizing fresh ingredients to satisfy every craving. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee fills the air, making it an irresistible invitation for anyone passing by.

The atmosphere is equally inviting, with seating options nestled under the shade of trees, providing a peaceful enclave perfect for study sessions or catching up with friends. The ambiance is enhanced by the warm, friendly service that Mallokup is known for, as highlighted by customer reviews. Though some patrons have shared experiences of occasional service hiccups, like those noted by hailie a, the majority, including Rob Leming and Bridget, rave about the attentive staff and the inviting environment that truly makes this cafe stand out on campus.

Bridget encapsulates the experience perfectly by declaring it to be “genuinely the best cafe on campus.” While the prices may be slightly higher than some peers, the exceptional quality of the food makes every cent worthwhile, particularly for Guild card holders who enjoy great discounts. That’s the beauty of Mallokup — you’re not just buying a meal; you’re investing in a delightful experience.

However, it's wise to consider timing your visit. Dan Marrable notes that morning rush hours can lead to longer waits, so if you're in a hurry, you might want to plan accordingly. But trust us, the wait can often be well worth it as you indulge in one of their signature brews while soaking in the lovely surroundings.

In conclusion, whether you're looking for your morning caffeine fix, a cozy corner to settle down with your books, or simply a place to treat your tastebuds, Mallokup is not just a cafe — it’s a community hub that embodies the spirit of Curtin University with every sip and bite. Delight in their offerings, engage with the vibrant atmosphere, and experience why this cafe continues to win hearts and tastebuds alike.

I’m really enjoying their new menu, however I think one of the baristas may need to take another “customer service” course. I understand that people have bad days but she made me feel really uncomfortable and as if I was disturbing her by being there. When I walked in, I saw that her and another girl were a bit busy so I was happy to wait at the counter until they were ready, but after a few seconds that barista asks me “are you okay” in the most unfriendliest voice like my presence bothered her. It made me want to walk out and avoid going there whenever she’s working.

Great staff and service, on par with how Curtin cafés tend to be. The seating around here is particularly nice with much of it being under trees.

genuinely the best cafe on campus. although its a little pricier than concept cafe, everything else makes it worth the price and the walk down. all the food is impeccable, from the cinnamon scrolls, to the croissant sandwiches and the new york style cookies - all for a great price if you have your Guild card on you

The coffee is great and the staff are very friendly. The wait can be quite long in the morning. If you're in a rush you might be better off going to on of the other cafés on campus.
