Why Choose The Gully Cafe & Bagel Shop?

About The Gully Cafe & Bagel Shop

Bagels are the draw at The Gully Cafe & Bagel Shop, a cafe in Larrakeyah, Northern Territory, that does fresh handmade bagels, loaded deli sandwiches and focaccia daily. Their tagline calls it Darwin's only cafe by the water, and the setting backs that up. It sits at Doctors Gully, part of the Aquascene fish feeding site, so you can eat with a view across the water.

Locals who come for the food tend to rave about the bagels. The salmon bagel gets a mention, and one regular says they order almost daily and the sandwiches never miss. The focaccia gets the same praise, and the brownies are worth a look too. People describe everything as fresh from the oven, and the staff come across as friendly and welcoming. Value gets a nod as well, though one local would have liked a bagel surcharge folded into the menu price. One visitor found the bagels a little less chewy than the New York style they know, while still enjoying them.

You can dine in, sit outside, take away, have it delivered or arrange catering. Coffee, breakfast and brunch are part of the picture, and it works well with kids, with high chairs and a playground nearby. You can also visit without joining the fish feeding, which is a separate paid activity. Access is easy, with a wheelchair-accessible car park and entrance.

It's very much a breakfast and lunch spot, so check the hours before you head in.
