Moore & Moore Cafe

Wandering through Fremantle, it's hard not to be charmed by the vibrant, artsy vibe. A regular haunt of mine is Moore & Moore Cafe, nestled in this colorful patch of Perth. The moment you step inside, the relaxed, rustic feel strikes you. You might wonder if you've been transported to a cozy corner of some European city.

The coffee here is top-notch. You'd expect that, but Moore & Moore takes it further. They brew specialty beans that are worth the pause. Always served hot and fresh, each sip tells you that they know their stuff. If you're someone who dives deep into flavor profiles, you'll enjoy their offerings. They have a wide selection suitable for different taste buds.

Their brunch menu is a hit too. The smashed avocado, loaded with extras, is creamy, fresh, and filling. Pair it with their eggs benedict for a solid start to your day. The serving sizes are just right—neither overwhelming nor stingy. For the sweet tooth, their pancakes with a drizzle of syrup and fresh fruit should do the trick.

You're welcome to bring your dog if you like, adding to its laid-back charm. There's plenty of outdoor seating, perfect for soaking up the sunshine while enjoying your meal. Plus, the tables are spaced well enough not to feel squished in. I can't help but appreciate the wheelchair-accessible options they've got. Anyone can roll in comfortably, which speaks to their inclusive vibe.

Wi-Fi is free and reliable here, which makes it a solid spot to get some work done. Sitting with my laptop here feels right, not rushed. Just keep an eye on your battery life, as power outlets can be scarce.

Fremantle has a lot to offer, and it's always buzzing with life. The Fremantle Markets are not far off. Open every Friday to Sunday, it's a blast of sights, sounds, and smells. Wander through for handmade goods, funky clothes, and tasty snacks. It's the perfect follow-up to a sturdy brunch.

History buffs might take a detour to the Fremantle Prison. It's a world heritage site with a lot of tales to tell. Even if history isn't your thing, it's worth a look, and quite frankly, you might leave with a new appreciation for the past.

For those who love a good stroll, the Esplanade Park nearby is a gem. It's green, spacious, and great for families with kids—a good picnic spot. In summer, it's alive with festivals and live music that add to the lively Fremantle spirit.

Art lovers like myself can't miss the Fremantle Arts Centre. The place buzzes with creative energy, and the exhibitions are often thought-provoking. They also host live music events that are top-notch for a chilled-out evening.

Back at Moore & Moore, it's hard not to notice the art throughout the café. The walls are sprinkled with local art, giving it a welcoming character. It's definitely one of those places that could be a gallery first and café second.

Weekends get fairly busy, so I usually aim to beat the morning rush. Waiting for a table can take a while. But once you're seated, the vibe slows down, and it's easy to lose track of time. Service is friendly, if a bit casual at times, but that's part of the charm.

They're open from 7 am to 3 pm every day of the week, so if you're an early riser or someone who loves a late breakfast, they've got you covered. I'd say it's a typical Perth thing—open early for your morning fix before days out at the beach or exploring.

For a lively atmosphere, solid coffee, and tasty bites, Moore & Moore has established itself as a go-to in Fremantle. It's one of those spots where moments slow to a pleasant pace, and you just might leave feeling a bit more plugged into the heart of Fremantle life.
