Walk one minute to Chalkys for a coffee. Housed in an old tram barn near the Roundhouse, this nice cafe features interesting murals inside and offers both inside and outside seating.
09:45
Walk nine minutes to Gino's. As one of the first cafes in Fremantle and the epicentre of the Cappuccino Strip, it has been serving the local community since 1983. It is open from 6:30 AM until late, making it a reliable stop for a late morning snack or drink.
Local tip
The Round House is a small but informative museum. If you want to extend your stay, the nearby Fremantle Market is open on Friday evenings and all day Saturday and Sunday if you want to browse for souvenirs.
Check before you go
- Chalkys has no listed opening hours, so arrive during standard morning hours.
- Gino's is open daily from 6:30 AM, ensuring you can find a seat even if you start your day early.
