Looking for the best coffee shops in the Dunsborough Area? I’m always on the hunt for new and exciting spots in my neighborhood so today I’m sharing my top five favorite local coffee shops that you absolutely can't miss during your stay in the South West. I've got you covered.
Top Picks for Coffee Shops in Dunsborough
1: Tiny Coffee on Clark
Tiny Coffee on Clark is a favorite local coffee spot in Dunsborough and a morning staple. The quaint little hole in the wall shack more than satiates the early morning coffee crave. Their quality beans are locally sourced from Commonage Coffee co and it's honestly some of the best coffee i've ever tasted. Located adjacent to the downtown center of Dunsborough, swing past on your morning walk into town or the beach. Bring your own cup and enjoy a discount on the price of your coffee, or participate in their mug exchange for a sustainable sip. Although it's a small venue, with seating limited to the nearby grass and lounge chairs, remember: good things often come in small packages.
2: Merchant and Maker
Located in the heart of downtown Dunsborough, Marchant and Maker is my top pick because it's my favourite spot for artisan coffee in the Dunsborough area, as well as being able to grab take home meals, local hampers, and specialty foods. They also offer fresh juices and mouthwatering smoothies, and daily baked goods. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this charming spot promises to elevate your coffee game and leave you craving more.
3: La Lah Café
Embrace the allure of La Lah Cafe, the freshest addition to Dunsborough's coffee scene. Situated minutes walk from the foreshore, La Lah captivates with its chic interiors and delectable brunches that are as photogenic as they are delicious. Indulge in an oat milk latte paired with brioche French toast adorned with edible flowers – a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes. While La Lah Cafe dazzles with its modern Australian brunch offerings and locally sourced ingredients, including Yallingup Woodfired Bread and Margaret River Roasting coffee, it's the relaxed ambiance and gram-worthy dishes that keep patrons coming back for more. Come for the brunch, stay for the experience.
4: Hot Chocolatte
Right in the middle of downtown Dunsborough, indulge in a warm hug for your taste buds at Hot Chocolatte, the ultimate destination for the best hot chocolate in the southwest. But it's not just about the cocoa here – Hot Chocolatte is a treasure trove of sweets, treats, chocolates, and baked goods that will satisfy every craving. From delectable pastries to irresistible lollies, there's something to delight every palate. Whether you're in need of a comforting beverage or a savory snack, Hot Chocolatte promises an unforgettable culinary journey that will leave you craving more.
5: Silver Bullet Espresso
Training for an ocean swim Silver Bullet Espresso was my go-to. Housed in a super cool vintage Airstream Caravan, this mobile coffee haven promises more than just a caffeine fix – it's an adventure. Located at the Old Dunsborough Boatramp, I advise checking their socials as their hours are subject to the weather, adding an element of spontaneity to your coffee quest. Silver Bullet Espresso consistently delivers top-notch brews that have garnered rave reviews from locals and visitors alike.
