Last 24 to 28 March, Perth sandwich bar Joey Zaza’s capped off its 5th year with a week-long birthday celebration.
From the return of free coffee to the launch of new menu items Napoli Brekkie Wrap, ZaZa’s Club, and the Loaded Conti, to cool prizes won during the Coffee Roulette event, it was truly an epic 5th birthday line-up for this sandwich bar.
Let’s take a quick look at what happened during our 5th birthday week… in pictures!
First Day Prizes Ran Out… Fast!
It was only 9:20am when ZaZa messaged the social media crew that we needed to alert yaz cuz prizes were running out. Bosses, we open at 7:00am. ‘Ya really showed up to our Perth sandwich bar in the first 1.5 hours. Amazing!
Shoutout again to Brendan from Blacklist Coffee Roasters, James from The Alternative Dairy Co., Victoria from Brownes Dairy, and Chris and Tash from RTR FM for the cool prizes!
Cozy beanies, shirts, lunch bags for warm sangas, and fiery red bandanas–makes gearing up for Autumn really slick.
Cheers to everyone who came home a winner!
Perth Sandwich Bar Staff and Part-Time Model?
While we’re at it, shoutout to master merch endorser Ruby. Not just for bringing in the cutest meow-del cat, but also displaying the awesome goods from Coffee Roulette. Secret talent, Ruby. We got the best crew.
(Technically, Ruby’s cat didn’t join Coffee Roulette 2025, but the photo murdered us with cuteness, we had to include it.)
Free Coffee and Our Barista Boss’s Anniversary
We started off Tuesday mornin’ slingin’ free coffee… and had a team lunch to celebrate boss Geo’s 2nd work anniv in the arvo.
Shoutout again again (final 2 revised 222 final) to Blacklist Coffee Roasters, Brownes Dairy, and The Alternative Dairy, Co. for epic morning fuel for every_body! Plant-based and full dairy creamy coffee? Made it happen.
All-Day Brekkie Wraps, Now and Forever
Wednesday was an incredibly booked day for Joey Zaza’s Perth sandwich bar. We had a 9:15am catering booked for that day, coffee-slinging for the fortnightly Morning Startup event at Riff, on top of running the shop BAU.
That didn’t stop us from launching our new brekkie wraps, though. Make way for Napoli Brekkie Wrap and ZaZa’s Club.
Stack ‘Em Up, Up, Up! A Catchy Hit
We introduced our stacked up sanga last 27 March, and it’s here to stay. Thursday bosses got a load of our Perth sandwich bar’s Loaded Conti free for just that day.
Proof or it didn’t happen? Here’s layers of delectable cold cuts brought to ‘ya by mate Carl of Mondo Doro. Never miss our tasty birthday blasts again~
All-Out Friday Fizz
Something was fizzing for everyboss who loved our Loaded Conti event. On 28 March, we capped off the birthday celeb with a pop and sizzle thanks to Coca-Cola giving away free Coke Zero with our Loaded Conti.
Not only that, the saying’s true! The early boss catches the warm. Cakes by Laura C handed in the most heartwarming mini birthday cupcakes early. It made good old Joey Zaza’s Perth sandwich bar feel very festive. Glad to party with one of our shop’s most loyal.
Year 1 Flashbacks of a Perth Sandwich Bar
Our 5th year’s online event turnout reminded us of yaz back in our 1st year. We got busy in our 2nd and 3rd, and we’re picking back up, up, up since our 4th birthday event. Let’s keep those numbers up next year!
