south west WA cafes

so, having been down south this week, obviously I've tried out a few of the cafes there...

firstly, Yallingup Roasting House or whatever it's called. It's in Dunsborough! not yallingup! :P
but anyway... everyone RAVES about this place. I've been here a few times. the staff aren't rude, they're just not friendly. the coffee is SUPPOSED to be the best in Dunsborough, but frankly the past three or four times i've visited, desperately wanting to redeem their reputation with me, i have been disappointed. bad coffee makes me cry. and trust me, ive been close to tears when ive been there. so yeah. but the coffee's not horrible, just doesn't warrant the great rep it's got. i found it pallatable. but its too bitter.
however, they have gluten free food! and they like froth, which i also do :)

next place is my favourite in Dunsborough, Tealicious. as the name suggests, i'm pretty sure they do awesome tea. i know they have a massive range. however, because i am not a tea drinker but reputation, i havent had their tea and i wont comment. except that my mum LOVES the licorice tea i bought her from there :) so the people here are SO NICE. and they have no eftpos minimum, which makes me happy :) the coffee isn't anything like Hush, Epic or Spring, but the service makes it worthwhile! tasted a little bit like plunger coffee, and definitely not enough froth, if there was ANY. but it tasted nice, the beans were good. and the service was great. and if you're ever at tealicious- buy the eggs benedict turkish bread- SO GOOD!!!!

next on the list is Chocolatte. bad coffee. don't go there. but they have candy :) so do go there :P
yeah... they do nice-looking smoothies too. and are open earlier than other places hahaha

then there's Dome in Dunsborough. what can i say? it's the Dome. friend had a bad experience with his long mac. my flat white wasn't horrible. but i dont have standards when it comes to Dome. for obvious reasons. had some chips there tho. they were nice :) and their chiller thingos :)

ok, now to my absolute FAVOURITE cafe in the SouthWest- More Cafe.
YOU MUST GO THERE NOW! i dont care that it's BUSSELTON! lol. it's seriously great. the Barista there (a really nice girl) is passionate about coffee, good coffee. which makes a large amount of difference yes? they also use bannister downs milk (also makes a big difference). coffee was consistently great. and aforementioned friend got a great long mac exactly the way he likes it- and no, i cant remember how he likes it... something like traditional with a little bit of extra crem...) but the food here is great also. the coffee's like nicely a little bit automatically sweet. SO GOOD!!! i love it! also their frappes are great.

also- one of the people down south with me brought his coffee machine. and made me a REALLY nice coffee- big ups to Matt :)
it was possibly a little too strong for my liking. but not bitter, not overly sweet. i liked it :)
and i like people who understand coffee, which matt does :)
woo

peace out
xx

  1. Matt's coffee!
    That was awesome!
    And I consumed far too much of it in the past week!
    And with the amount of exclamation marks I'm using, you'd think I was still buzzing from it!
