The Salty Gnome Cafe

Great customer service and a cool spot serving the most delicious bagels. A vege boss bagel and fresh juice is my go to hangover cure!

The best bagels you can imagine served in a rustic but at the same time very stylish ambience or simply directly in the drive in. Have a break and enjoy a coffee with tasty bagels. I will come back from Germany only to eat there again ️

Great coffee with good service and atmosphere. Their blend is unique to their own and tastes two notches above those franchise coffee shops.

Nice food and beverages but not my type place to eat food seating area is 10/10 coffee is okay I guess could be worse

Consistently good coffee - the best you’ll find in or around freo! Friendly service. Yummy food. Always leave this place with a full heart and full tummy.

Absolute gem of a cafe

Hidden gem I found going to sonic health care.

Reuben bagel, full of flavour. Taste on point, coffee too.
In and out under 10 minutes.definitely will go out of my way to come through

This place is an absolute gem. Consistently great coffee and always greeted with friendly service from the girls! Won’t go anywhere else for my coffee:)

Good coffee with friendly service! Recommended. If you're in a hurry park and use the side door.

Busy, but worth the wait and I love the drive through. Great coffee and amazing bagels. Love the blueberry cream cheese with jam ($8.50) and just recently the Boss Gnome Bagel ($14) absolutely bursting with fillings and flavour

Friendly staff, great coffee, tasty bagels and a nice little courtyard to dine in. As they are mostly a drive through service I was served my dine in coffee in a takeaway cup so remember to bring your keep cups even if dining in!

Not keen on the coffee or breakfast bagel, classic overcooked egg and bacon, didn't really have enough time as a walk in on my lunch break, maybe they prioritise drive through.

Best coffee joint SOR. Staff is always friendly, knowledgeable of their customers and delivering delicious coffee at an adequate speed. Sometimes the drive through can go a little slow, but assured your food and coffee will always be fresh and hot. Dining in is also a wonderful experience with the quirky decor and lovely shady alfresco feels.

You will surely enjoy your food and drink if you have at least 30 minutes to wait in the drive through queue before you order. Top tip, it’s quicker to park and walk in.

I love this place. The food is great, one bagel will keep you going until dinner and the coffee is Geisha coffee. I would advise parking and going inside to order, it's very tranquil and the decor has to be seen. A lovely place to be first thing on a weekend morning. Great, timely, friendly service.

Such a cute cafe! They’re also super accomodating and let us order drinks that weren’t on the menu. Chai frappe is a must try! The only con is some of the drinks are priced quite weirdly (coffee is around $5 but a frappe is $9) Will definitely be coming back here more often though:)

Don’t know why I have never come across this place before. Was on my way to grab a coffee from maccas when I saw this cute drive thru cafe. Best coffee, Won’t miss it now whenever I drive past it.

More photos of the bluish cafe were added. Blue sea is the icon. (2021-08-27)
As I walked in, there were present of smiles and cheerfulness from the staff. The hub was very colourful with a lot of decorations. The coffee has a good roasted aroma with very slight acidity and was hardly bitter. It was a bit smoother and it has an after drink chocolate flavour. I am glad that I dropped by to try their Latte. Cheers! (2021-08)

Been going here for about 4 weeks most mornings. Service always amazing and coffee is some of the best around. Went the other morning at 5: 55am (They open at 6) and sat inside as it was very cold and wet. The team were setting up and then quite rudely said go outside we will let you know when you can come in. The rude comment and the fact that me sitting in a seat not asking or wanting anything, I’m unsure how this effects there set up has resulted in I won’t go there again.

My most favourite Cafe! Tastiest coffee I ever got, friendliest staff, coolest place to have a coffee!

Always fantastic. Their bagels are next-level, I highly recommend the vege bagel. Coffee is good too
