Details and vote for this cafe

Ootong is a chinese warrior, Lincoln is the nickname of the husband of the owner. What these two have in common, and why they are used as the name of this café remains a mystery. What is not a mystery is how this relatively new café in the burgeoning South Terrace coffee strip has burst onto the scene, ironed out a few wrinkles and continues to improve on a weekly basis. The coffee is, surprise, surprise Fiori, the staff are very friendly and the service is improving all the time. The décor is eclectic, with recycled 50s tables and chairs and bikes hung around the walls. The food is cooked on the premises and is delicious with a wide range of gluten free, vegan and vegetarian options.
Most importantly, the coffee is top notch, which it needs to be on this increasingly popular café strip. Strong, creamy and without the bitter burnt coffee aftertaste that taints many lesser cafes. This is definitely becoming a worthwhile place to visit. One bean.

Fremantle’s much vaunted cappuccino strip has (rightly) come under fire recently for the substandard quality of food and coffee on offer. Like Lygon st, Carlton from the mid nineties until recently it is a parody of itself, with overpriced, unimaginative cafes and large beer halls that do nothing to cultivate a real coffee culture. However, there are a few gems amongst the rubble and il Cibo is one of them. Located almost opposite the train station and the Post Office, the owners have recently added extra floor to ceiling bifold doors along the whole front which allow one to admire the classic Fremantle vista of Victorian era buildings and palm trees! Inside, the decor is perfect for Perth, not too dark but cool enough for the hot summer afternoons. The coffee is excellent, although service can be slow at peak times. There is an enticing range of fresh salads and home made cakes and pastries on display and a lunch menu that includes burgers and fish and chips. A true cafe to kick off your trip to Freo, or to rest before jumping back on the train!

South Terrace in South Fremantle is rapidly developing a reputation as a new “cafe strip” in Fremantle, and Aubergine has a big part to play in that. Owned by Dave Cooney, an expat from sunny Wheelers Hill in Melbourne, Aubergine has set the standard for coffee and breakfast south of Fremantle’s cappuccino strip. The decor is pretty basic, but Aubergine has a nice feel, the Polaroids of local dogs adding to the community spirit. Although it’s packed out on a Saturday and Sunday, the service is brisk so that tables usually come up quickly. . Breakfasts are excellent, with breakfast burritos, delicious pancakes and a good range of muffins and pastries to sample. The highlight is definitely the coffee, a special blend made by Bonissimo solely for use by Aubergine. Beans and ground coffee are available for purchase however, so you can take home some of the flavour of South Fremantle with you. Feel free to stop off with your pooch after a walk along the beach, they are catered for here with doggy treats for sale. All in all, a great place to while away anything from a sunny summer’s morning to a blustery winter afternoon.

If Fremantle is experiencing a renaissance of decent food and coffee, then Moore and Moore joins a small handful of cafes that are leading the charge. Tucked away in what was once a merchant warehouse on Henry st, right in the middle of the Notre Dame university precinct, Moore and Moore comprises café and gallery, with regular exhibitions of local artists and sculptors.
The delightfully eclectic mix of furniture, the unfinished plaster walls and exposed ceiling beams help you forget that you’re in the city of cashed up bogans, and remind you of Melbourne’s laneway cafes.

There is an enclosed courtyard out the back perfect for the Perth summers, or for kids to run around in. Mo(o)re importantly, the coffee is top notch, the Fiori blend dispensed expertly from a La Marzocco machine. Nearly 200 people come through here every day, yet surprisingly for Perth the service is slick and friendly. The café menu is also excellent with a good range of breakfasts and lunches. Continuing the eclectic theme, they will also cater for cocktail parties or corporate functions after hours! If you can find it, then get down there, but expect to want to stay most of the morning!
