Cookie Dough, East Fremantle.

With a name like Cookie Dough (now housed within Alder & Co) you’d think they’d do awesome cookies, right? Right. Well they do, but they also do amazing breakfasts. I’ve eaten breakfast out almost every day since I got here, it’s just what you do when you’re in Australia. Forget going out for lunch, forget going out for dinner, it’s all about breakfast. It’s just a thing.

I first went to cookie dough a coupla years ago but we just had cookies….lots of cookies. So this time we went for breakfast, and ya know what, it was pretty darn good. I had the french toast with greek yoghurt, caramelized pineapple (yes.), and blueberries, topped with a drizzle of maple syrup. Mmhmm. I have to apologize for the phone photos, it was a bit of an impromptu visit so I didn’t have my camera on me, but it was so good I just had to tell you all about it!

Like most Aussie cafes it’s very cool and trendy, and they do a great selection of teas, coffees, and juices. I went for a very boring peppermint tea, but Cait had a flat white…and just look how cute the ‘latte art’ was!

Also I just had to show you the number holder – a little toy Bugatti. This is definitely my kinda place!

Cookie Dough really is a great place for breakfast, or just cookies if you’re not too peckish! The salads also looked amazing, so I might have to try it out for lunch soon.

Another new place I went to the other day but haven’t blogged about is Gustav’s in Mosman Park, it was amazing. I didn’t get any photos other than the ones on Instagram, but honestly, you have to go there!

    Australians sure know how to do a good cafe – the rest of the world should pay attention! x

    Love the Bugatti number holder and the distressed walls – well hopefully they're not too distressed 😉
