Zookeepers Broome is widely praised for its exceptional baked goods, particularly the cinnamon scrolls, which are frequently described as a standout treat. Customers also highlight the high-quality coffee, with some noting the availability of specialty beans. The cafe offers a warm and friendly atmosphere, contributing to its appeal as a local favorite. Popular items include almond croissants and savory options like bahn mi croissants and arancinis, often praised for their freshness and flavor. However, the cafe tends to get very busy, especially during peak hours, leading to long wait times and occasional service delays, particularly on weekends. Many visitors recommend arriving early or using takeaway options to avoid queues.

The cinnamon scrolls ever! So delicious. Great coffee too. Get there early to get a seat & good service, it gets busy at 8am. Disappointing Sunday service, it took an hour to get our breakfast which was average.

Best cafe in town. The matcha was rich and creamy, the almond croissant fresh, crunchy and soft at the same time. The arancinis were AMAZING ! The saffron mayo made it very special.

Hot tip: lines can get long during peak season, skip the cue and order from the takeaway panel next to the fridge if you don’t need to dine in. I visited 3 times during my week in Broome— the cinnamon bun really is what dreams are made of. Quite possibly one of the best things I have ever eaten- especially when they have just come out of the oven, soft, warm and pillowy but slightly crispy in the right places. The cardamom bun was nice too but I think another legendary offering not to be overlooked are their Bombolonis (Italian doughnut), served with both jam and chocolate so you can choose which piece of bombolini will be dunked in berries or cocoa heaven. An unmissable Broome experience.

Cute little spot that appears to seat indoors up to 50 & is kid friendly with library area and playhouse. The menu goes from simple yogurt to gourmet prepared sandwiches. We needed a pork and red meat free sandwich. We looked at the menu to see ingredients in other named sandwiches and asked if it was possible to throw together something with smoked salmon. Not only did he prepare it but did it with care. He cleaned off the cutting board and even used the reverse side after cleaning it to prepare our red meat/pork free sandwich request. Honestly, his sandwich goes to the top of our list. Only downside is we visitors from Philly. Kudos to the chef and friendly staff.
