Coffee / Dolce & Salato

Coffee / Dolce & Salato
South Fremantle

Rated 8: well worth it

We turned onto Duoro Road, heading for South Beach thinking, there's a cafe there. Passed another cafe and thought, that looks interesting...

And it was :-)

We had coffee and -- because of the time of day -- lunch. There were cakes, which looked nice, and gelato, which was tempting. First, though, lunch.

Pizza by the slice. A rectangle each of vegetarian and not vegetarian... Were they labeled ? Didn't see labels. But one was vegetarian and the other had very fine slices of salty sausage.

Each rectangle was marked into four "slices". Marked rather than cut -- we had to tear the slices apart with our hands. Greasy, too -- and the paper serviettes were so small and thin as to be almost useless.

The pizzas were delicious. On the vegetarian, some of the vegetables could even be identified by taste. On the meat pizza, the only standout flavours were the salty (and slightly spicy) sausage and something which I tentatively identified as basil. (I'm not great on " name that flavour".)

There were three or four friendly people waiting to serve, no waiting. Ethnic was the theme, though that may just be South Fremantle :-)

This cafe is one of a small chain of three. I do prefer one-off cafes but this cafe did not "feel" like a franchise. It felt friendly and unique. Modern plastic but comfortable.

The large shop next door (was it ex-Woolworths ? ) was closed, well and truly gone. That must affect Dolce. I hope it affects it by allowing more customers to park and eat !

We enjoyed our lunch. Oh, and the coffee was good, too.

And Dolce & Salato translates as, Sweet & Savoury. Clear and correct :-)
