BREAKFAST
THE AARLI
Broome’s pearling boom was a catalyst for a mass migration that took place in the late 1800s. It was almost as dramatic as the Australian gold rush. In droves, Japanese, Filipino, Chinese, and Malay pearl divers came to Broome in search of their fortune. They also brought with them the food and culture of their home countries. Broome’s Asian-fusion influence continues to be a major factor in Broome’s culinary scene. The Aarli is one such restaurant.
The Aarli, located in Chinatown’s heart, is the ideal place to discover more about Broome’s diverse flavours while enjoying a delicious alfresco breakfast. You’ll find Asian-inspired breakfast options like panko-crumbed eggs, wok-tossed Asian mushrooms, and Sriracha hollandaise. Delicious.
The Aarli offers modern Australian cuisine in tropical surroundings.
ZOOKEEPERS CAPIE
The name of this cafe comes from its former location at the zoo. The animals have moved on but the cafe is still run by the same family. They offer house-made pastries and breakfast favorites, as well as small-batch roasted coffees throughout the day.
Micrology coffee roasters provide the coffee. The friendly staff will do anything to make sure that you are satisfied. They are happy to offer decaf, alternative milks, and healthy juices or smoothies. The recycled coffee cups come in beautiful designs and can be enjoyed in a comfortable indoor/outdoor environment.
The Zookeepers Cafe offers quality breakfast and coffee at the former zoo.
TOWN BEACH CAFE
The cafe is located at Town Beach on its own, so you wouldn’t miss it if you were at Cable Beach. It has great coffee, a lovely atmosphere and a stunning beach view. It’s a great spot for a traditional breaky.
