The Cool Room

I love hanging out at The Cool Room in Fremantle. This spot feels like a hidden gem, tucked away on Holland Street. It's a little off the beaten path, but worth the visit. The moment you walk in, it's clear this place has a laid-back vibe, perfect for a relaxed morning. The setup is simple, and there's a nice mix of indoor and outdoor seating. Whether you're there for coffee or brunch, there's plenty of space to unwind.

The first thing that strikes you is how inviting it is. The Cool Room is welcoming to everyone, even your furry friends. I often bring my dog along, and she enjoys the outdoor seating area as much as I do. The entire place is wheelchair-accessible, which is great to see. They've really made an effort to be inclusive, and it makes a difference.

Coffee is a big plus here. It's rich, smooth, and just the right pick-me-up. I've tried their flat white, and it didn't disappoint. They're pretty consistent with their coffee, which keeps me coming back. They also offer takeaway, perfect for those mornings when leisure time is short, and you've got to keep moving.

The Cool Room stays open from 8 am to 2 pm Thursday through Sunday. It's closed at the start of the week, so plan your visit accordingly. Weekends can get a little busy, but that just adds to the lively atmosphere. It's a favorite spot for locals, and I can see why. The food matches the coffee in quality. They keep their menu straightforward and tasty, serving dishes that hit the spot every time. Items like smashed avocado or a simple bacon and egg roll—comfort foods done right.

During your visit, there's the charm of the neighborhood to enjoy. Fremantle is a vibrant pocket, filled with art, culture, and history. After a stop at The Cool Room, exploring nearby is always on my list. Just a short walk away is Fremantle's bustling center, full of quirky shops and lively streets. The Fremantle Markets are perfect for anyone wanting a change of pace and a different sort of local vibe. There, you can find everything from handmade goods to fresh produce.

Nearby, you can also find the Fremantle Prison, a place that tells stories of the past. A little history never hurts, and it's a cool spot to check out after your coffee fix. If you're a fan of maritime history, the Western Australian Maritime Museum is also not too far off. It's packed with interesting exhibits and worth a peek.

Back to The Cool Room, the ambiance is casual and easygoing. It's the kind of place where you can linger over a good book or catch up with friends without feeling rushed. They provide a few board games too, adding another layer of comfort. It's these little touches that make a difference.

For those in need of conveniences, restrooms are available, clean, and accessible. It's the kind of place that balances just enough charm with practicality. You can simply sit, relax, and watch the world go by, or gear up for a day full of exploration around Fremantle.

The staff at The Cool Room are friendly and attentive, always ready with a smile. They know their regulars, adding to the cozy, neighborhood feel. It's like catching up with friends every time you visit. Service here is relaxed, matching the overall pace, but attentive enough not to leave you waiting.

I recommend checking their Facebook page if you want to stay updated. They might post about specials or any changes in hours there.

The Cool Room truly embodies the free-spirited, easy nature of Fremantle. It's a place where coffee is celebrated, food is simple yet delicious, and everyone is welcome. If you're ever in the area or even if you're local, drop by. It's spots like these that make the coffee scene in Perth so special. You come for coffee and end up staying for the stories, the ambiance, and that warm sense of community.
