Best Coffee Shops and Cafes in Rottnest Island

"If you have an appreciation for cosy courtyards and all-day brunch menus, don’t look past this Freo classic. Crafted around sustainably grown local produce and seasonal foods, this homestyle menu is designed to make everyone feel satisfied. Australian ingredients like lemon myrtle, WA-sourced meats and even extra virgin oil make appearances on the delicious menu."

"Housed at the uber-cool heritage Moores Building, Moore & Moore is also home to a cutting-edge contemporary art gallery. This amazing brunch spot serves a fresh and seasonal all-day breakfast in the gallery’s shady courtyard. All their ingredients are sourced locally and ethically, with particular focus on gluten-free and vegetarian options."

"Brunch joints that take bookings are a rarity these days, but thankfully the incredible team (who might be the friendliest bunch in hospitality we’ve come across) at Duck Duck Bruce have you covered. Just a stone’s throw from the main Fremantle strip, this café has all the right nooks and crannies to enjoy the sunshine in the courtyard, people watching on the patio or an intimate catch up inside. The food (described as face filling awesomeness on their site) takes the usual breakfast jams and turns them on their head with the likes of chilli and coriander scrambled eggs with house garam masala, the crispy fennel potato straws with eggplant pickle or the Panaji spiced sausage roll."

"This coffee spot in Freo is pretty popular and you will have to stand in line!. But its worth the trouble to secure a table at the best café in Freo, (many think it is). You’ll love the laid-back ambience of this place belonging to three chums, who look at the lighter side of life, although their coffee is seriously amazing!"

"A quirky little cafe in Freo, Duck Duck Bruce serves up the classics along with some of their own delicious and different concoctions. The Rhubarbra Streisand featuring stewed rhubarb, strawberries, maple granola and coconut whip is a standout and with a name like that it’s not surprising."

"If you ever need to convince someone why Perth is great (or uh, OK!), just take them to il Lido. Beachside relaxation (and views), with an uncompromising approach to quality has made it a stalwart for Perth foodies – even though its touristy location means it could get away with being a lot worse. Each pasta dish is a loving ode to its produce, whether it’s spaghetti with nduja, white anchovy, mascarpone and lemons, crowd-pleasing blue swimmer crab linguine, or cavatelli with broccoli and sausage."

"‘Il Lido’ means beach in Italian, which explains the beach front views of the Il Lido restaurant. What we don’t understand is why it’s not called ‘‘Il Lido: e maledettamente buon cibo!. ’ (Translation, beach: and damn good food!)."

"The Grumpy Sailor’s Barista’s make an amazing cup of coffee. If you’re looking for a quick bite their bagels make the walk off the cafe strip worth the effort. You’ll find the Grumpy Sailor 5 minutes walk away."

"UWA students will need no introduction to The Tenth State – this buzzing cafe’s morning crowds will attest to its popularity. These guys are experts at the pivot: whether its moving a few doors down from their original concept store to focus on their food and coffee offerings, or starting an online farmers market back in April, Em and Sam are always striving for perfection. 2/6 Broadway, Crawley"

"Relax in the vibrant surrounds of Market & Co. for a casual catch-up with friends and family or relax and enjoy a drink at the bar or on the terrace."

"First port of call on the Freo Crafty Crawl is a local institution: Clancy’s Fish Pub. When a pub has been around for this long while also amassing three sister venues it must be doing something right. Family friendly, full of maritime charm and spacious, Clancy’s is that rarest of things (within any given city): a classic Australian character pub."

"Art Gallery of Western Australia holds collections and programs showing off Western Australia’s Indigenous art and the art of the world. Located at the south-eastern corner of the Perth Cultural Centre, the gallery provides a complete view of the State Art Collection, with the world’s finest compendium of Indigenous art, the pre-eminent collection of WA art and design, as well as the country’s international arts and design collection. Apart from adoring the displays of creativity, you’ll also have a chance to take home a piece of art, as the gallery hosts the AGWA shop for arts enthusiasts and collectors."

"Founded in 1895, this excellent gallery houses the state's preeminent art collection as well as regular international exhibitions that, increasingly, have a modern, approachable bent. The permanent collection is... Beach in Scarborough to Cottesloe"

"Spread across two floors of a heritage listed warehouse, Japingka Aboriginal Art Gallery is home to a curated collection of works from indigenous artists from across Australia, with all works ethically sourced using fair trade practices. 47 High St, Fremantle"
