Two young children and their mother allege they unwittingly ate a marijuana-laced brownie sold to them at a Perth cafe.

A cafe owner has been charged after two young children and their mother ate a brownie allegedly laced with marijuana at his Perth business.

The complainants, known only as Michael and Sharon, told the ABC their family went to the Bada Bing Cafe in Woodlands on 2 March.

Afterwards, their five-year-old daughter Emily described things as "jumping" and her vision became impaired, they said.

Hospital tests showed Sharon and the children had traces of marijuana in their system, they said.

Analysis of one brownie confirmed the presence of THC and other cannabinoids, a spokeswoman for the City of Stirling council said.

It is not known how the marijuana allegedly came to be in the brownie.

Bada Bing Cafe is a family business run by Mr Sharp and his wife Simona, who have four young children.

Ms Sharp said they had cooperated with police, who had not laid charges and were "most disappointed" to learn of the council charges via the radio.

"It came as a total shock to us that a Perth family is alleging that they became ill after eating at our cafe," she said in a statement.

Mr Sharp is scheduled to face Perth Magistrates Court on 19 July.
