Cafe Zoot

Walk up Bailgate towards the Cathedral and you'll find Cafe Zoot tucked into a neighbourhood that's proper bustling these days. It's the kind of place where locals actually sit down for a leisurely breakfast on weekends, not just grab something to go. The vibe is straightforward—good natural light, friendly staff who know regulars by name, and a menu that doesn't overthink things but does them well. You're looking at solid brunch plates, honest sandwiches, and coffee that's clearly been given some thought. It's become a reliable waypoint for anyone exploring Bailgate's independent shops and galleries, pulling in everyone from students to retired couples.
