Where to find great coffee in the Margaret River region

Updated: December, 2023

What’s your take on the perfect coffee?

Do you like a frothy, silky cappuccino with a delicate shake of chocolate, or are you more of a straight-up no-nonsense espresso type? How about a strong long macc or maybe you prefer to slurp down an iced coffee – regardless of the weather outside? You might even be a fan of a dirty chai, or a Vietnamese coffee which is served with a liberal splash of sweetened condensed milk (it’s very good, we promise).

Regardless of what camp you’re in, you’ll find what you’re after in the South West. From Busselton to Boranup, here are some of the very best coffee shops, restaurants and vans serving up the liquid gold.
