Right in the heart of Dunsborough, Little Iris Garden Cafe is a new-ish family-friendly haven that’s quickly become a favourite for locals and visitors alike. Tucked away just off the main street, this sweet cottage-like spot is all about great coffee, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere that makes everyone feel at home.
The real bonus for parents at Little Iris is found out the back. A gorgeous garden play area, shaded by pappy trees, where kids can let their imaginations run wild. Parents can sit under the sun umbrellas with a coffee, while kids entertain themselves.
There’s a sweet cubby house complete with a play kitchen, so little ones can “cook” while you enjoy a well-earned break and chat.
It’s the kind of place where parents can actually relax, knowing the kids are entertained and safely contained. This area is dog friendly too.
The coffee here is seriously good—smooth, rich, and expertly made. I grabbed a takeaway to go, the excellent roast by locals Commonage Coffee.
The menu is full of crowd-pleasers, from fresh-baked cakes to hearty brunch dishes, vibrant salads and more. Be sure to check out the cabinet bites too.
There are plenty of options for kids, including toasties and a grazing-style snack pack, on the all-day kids’ menu.
From the friendly smiles at the counter to the pretty bunches of fresh native flowers for sale, it’s clear this is a café run with love. Whether you’re popping in for a quick caffeine fix, a leisurely brunch, or a playdate with friends, Little Iris Garden Cafe is the perfect spot to unwind in the middle of Dunsborough. Don’t be surprised if it becomes your new down south go-to.
Find Little Iris Cafe at Unit 1/222 Naturaliste Terrace, Dunsborough.
