Merchant & Maker

A Cozy Haven of Coffee and Comfort:
Nestled in the heart of Dunsborough, Merchant & Maker Cafe has become my go-to spot for a consistently excellent coffee experience paired with delightful sweet treats and freshly baked breads.

Stepping into the cafe in the early hours is like entering a sanctuary of aromas, with the scent of freshly baked breads enveloping the space. It sets the perfect tone for a start to the day, reminding me to embrace the concept of Hygge and savor the moments of calmness. The seating arrangement is thoughtfully designed for comfort, allowing patrons to find their ideal spot, whether it's a cozy corner or a quiet table by the window.

What sets this cafe apart is its vibrant and upbeat atmosphere, where one can't help but feel uplifted upon entering.

I particularly appreciate the diverse selection of accessories adorning the cafe, including charming plants in small pot holders that add a touch of greenery and warmth to the space. One aspect that never fails to impress me is the cleanliness and freshness of the cafe.

It's evident that the team takes great pride in maintaining a welcoming environment for guests to enjoy. Speaking of the team, their pleasant demeanor and willingness to assist further elevate the overall experience.

Their genuine warmth and hospitality make every visit a memorable one. In summary, Merchant & Maker Cafe is more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee—it's a haven of comfort and community. Whether you're seeking a quiet moment to yourself or a vibrant space to connect with friends, this cafe offers the perfect setting to unwind and indulge in life's simple pleasures.

Great space, staff are super friendly. They always offer constantly quality food and coffee!

Disappointed that I didnt get to try this place. Dont understand why a cafe wouldn't have high chairs for babies.

Have got a coffee here everyday this week. Each time its rock solid, not even worth trying any where else. Ham and cheese crosoinnt is wild too

Best chicken toastie ever. Lovely local cafe with superb selection of cakes, food and coffee. Visited everyday we stayed in Dunsborough.

I ordered a cappuccino and an iced latte, cappuccino felt light when I collected it and after taking the lid off, realised it had not been filled to the top. Unfortunately coffee was burnt and undrinkable, not impressed.

Food is sooooo good! Best Caesar salad I’ve had and Partner raved about the toasties! Chia pudding was also delicious! Place was absolutely heaving but the line moved super quickly

Big bakery and store selling good quality coffee, fresh pastries, lunch options and a variety of locally sourced gourmet groceries. Situated in the heart of Dunsborough shopping area and has some outdoor and indoor communal tables.

They were serving closest to closing time. That says something good about the business. I only had a coffee and a brownie and both were good!

Excellent coffee where you can actually taste the bean! Food looks awesome although I did not sample during my visit. Worth a look!

Arrived just before closing time and happy we decided to race over for a coffee before they closed. Nice big shop with lots of offerings but more importantly amazing coffee. We got a cappuccino & oat flat white and both were good. We unfortunately did get the chance to try any of their deli items as they were cleaning up for the day. They do have a lot of offerings like fresh cheeses, curies meats, locally made granola and lots of retail items. Nice place and if you have time to enjoy lunch there I think it would be a good treat. They also have about 5 tables outside which is nice. There are big umbrellas too so you don’t have to worry about sunburn.

Great service, great coffee! Lot's of other stuff for sale too - meats, cheese, coffee makers, chocolates, local made good, etc.

Sorry found the coffee watery, was more of a production line with no customer interaction just order taking and coffee distribution. Very busy no place to sit, clearly popular but wouldn’t be my go to for coffee in Dunsborough.

We haven’t had this good breakfast with vibes here for a while. Love it, all the staff and food and coffee are perfect.

Just spent a week Holidaying in Dunsborough, the weather was amazing and as always and we enjoyed every minute. We stumbled on the amazing cafe, what a wonderful experience. The food and pastries are super delicious. The fresh bread was to die for, but to top it of the five star service was super exceptional. It was packed to the rafters for a reason. The efficiency from the moment you placed your order to the completion of your order was the best I have seen in a long time. Well done to the owner and all the friendly efficient and well trained staff. So looking forward to visiting you all again next time I’m down south.

Amazing coffee and delicious gourmet house made food! Burrito wrap, croissant, sausage rolls, and full of casalingo, mortadella, prosciutto, rocket, aioli, olives, capers, red peppers in a baguette. It has interesting sustainable products. Happy welcoming vibe. I had not only one but two almond crossiants in one morning (dine in one and take away one)

Don't go if you would like a smile when being served. Went here at 2pm and they looked pretty unhappy. You can buy most things from here at the markets.

Got a coffee, tasted pretty good.food looked good. Was fairly busy so didn’t bother with that. It’s opening time was the selling point.

Brilliant stop for coffee. Nice selection of interesting pantry items. Great place to visit when around the area. Serving five senses coffee.

Disappointed with the rudeness of staff lately. Not just myself but to customers waiting before me. Have messaged them privately to address the issue with no reply. I understand it’s incredibly tough at the moment with covid, short staff and holiday makers in the region. But I too own a hospitality business in town and if I knew my staff were treating customers the way M&M treats theirs, I’d be appalled.
