Delicious iced chai and food. Very busy place so make sure you come prepared. Asked if they could do a soft boiled egg for my baby and they said they could which was nice (the egg was hard boiled though, however, the gesture was really nice). Would definitely recommend to try out this place if you are in Bunbury.

Beautiful food including all day breakfast options. Excellent sized dishes.
Benedict with Beetroot infused Salmon was perfect.
Chia pudding with fresh mango was really tasty and healthy.
Farmer's Wife was super healthy and yum. The nuts in it added taste, texture and more complexity.
Milkshakes were nice and strong.
Service was top notch with the staff willing to accommodate.
Also in Entertainment Card for a discount!

Really strong, rich coffee with a varied and interesting menu. We had the granola and fried chicken pancakes, both of which we loved.

Breakfast was amazing! We ordered Benedict, toast on scrambled eggs, chilli eggs and farmer's wife. Every dish was great! No complaints at all. Coffee was well made. The staff is friendly as well. Recommend anyone to have breakfast here at Bunbury.

Celebrating 15 years under the current owners, Benesse is located on Victoria Street in the heart of Bunbury in WA’s Southwest. Bunbury is my old stomping ground, so I always make a point of dropping in whenever I head down. Benesse is such a great venue. You know you’re close when you see their blackboard with a fun quote. Today’s was ‘Espresso may not be the answer but it’s worth a shot!’ So cool.
It’s a really popular place, especially on weekends. That said, you should usually be able to get a spot. The best seats are outside facing Victoria Street. These are great on a summer’s day when you just want to sit and have a coffee and watch the world go by. They’re undercover too, so provide shelter from the weather. There’s also a laneway next to the café with plenty of seats. And of course, there’s the indoor seating, which is nicely set up in a really cool space. Think comfy cushions, indoor plants and cool tunes.
You can order at the counter or from those ever present ‘order at the table’ QR codes. Oh, and they also have online ordering for those who want to pre-order something when they’re on the go.
They also do coffee cards, which will cost you $55 upfront. It’s a good idea though, as it gives you 10 coffees, which works out at $5.50 each. So, you basically pre-pay your workday coffees, assuming you have two a day 😉
The menu is diverse, with something for everyone. There’s a good selection of brunch bowls, which includes things like granola and apple pie porridge. Plus, there’s a great variety of brunch plates, with everything from the simple eggs on toast and avo smash to chilli scrambled eggs. Then there’s the ‘What Came First’, which features buttermilk pancakes and fried chicken and a fried egg. Classic! I’m yet to try it but it sure sounds tempting.
On my visit, I chose the potato rosti, which comes with double bacon (yum!) onion relish, poached eggs, rocket, parmesan and a peppered vinaigrette. This is my go to dish. The rosti is crunchy and soft al

Love this cafe. I always detour through Bunbury when going down south just to get to go here! Have taken my now adult kids here since they were little. Awesome food and service. Keep it up guys! Thanks

Down from mandurah on our way through Bunbury, this is not our first time here, but it has been a long time. We only stopped in for coffee as you were packed to the brim.
Today being Boxing Day, the staff and management were on point-faultless I would say. The coffee, just as amazing as our last visit.
Thank you for the great service. Well done team.

Great coffee, great food. Had the orange/citrus pancakes which were delish! Pancakes were light and fluffy, perfectly complemented by the fruit, granola and rhubarb syrup. The Big Fry was a hearty meal, plenty to share. Suggest getting poached eggs with it to pair with the crusty sourdough bread. The fried mushrooms in the dish were deeply flavourful. Black coffee was thick and packed a punch, while the Dirty Chai was well balanced and pleasing.
