Blue Wren Cafe

Top choice in West Coast Australia


Corrugated iron, hessian hangings and rustic timber collude to create a happy vibe at this cosy corner cafe, offering stonking homemade sausage rolls and regular specials (pulled-pork pies!). The coffee is worthy of a flash cafe in the big smoke, and there's a roaring wood heater for chilly Dwellingup winters (it gets down to -3°C here sometimes).
