About The Cool Room

Set along a quiet Fremantle side street, this neighborhood hideaway pairs inventive daytime plates with relaxed, dog-friendly garden seating. Regulars head straight for the crisp, house-grilled focaccia and plates of halloumi bruschetta piled high with fresh herb salad. Recycled furniture, retro sun umbrellas, and mismatched antique teaware set an unhurried, lived-in scene right beside a neighboring vintage shop. Out on the synthetic turf, four-legged regulars stretch out under shaded tables while kitchen orders roll out with generous buttered breads, poached eggs, and flat whites.

  • Dog-Friendly Outdoor Patio: Patrons unwind under retro umbrellas on synthetic lawn where dogs rest comfortably beside shaded garden tables.
  • Adjacent Vintage Store: Visitors browse curated antique homewares and vintage finds right next door before or after dining.
  • Inventive House Bread & Brunch: Thick-cut grilled focaccia and halloumi bruschetta with fresh herb salad anchor an inventive daytime menu.

    House-grilled breads and focaccia form the foundation for inventive, fresh brunch plates prepared with skill and balance.

  • Stress-Free Dog-Friendly Patio Seating

    An outdoor setup featuring synthetic lawn and shaded seating allows pet owners to dine without worry while dogs rest comfortably.

    When I returned to the table Honey had layed down under the table on the synthetic lawn. This is the first time at a cafe that she has not been anxious.

  • Halloumi Bruschetta

    Haloumi Bruschetta : The herb salad was so good. Simple but yet bang! Haloumi was cooked well, not too salty but just right! Good texture, play of colours, and breadth.

  • Smoked Salmon

    Smoked Salmon : The goats cheese and beetroot relish combined well with the smoked salmon. The poached eggs were done well - nice and runny, which when eaten all together was very refreshing, with a fusion of flavours playing on the palate.

  • Smashed Avo

    I ordered the smashed avo with a poached egg and it was beautifully done — fresh ingredients and great flavour.
