Merchant & Maker

Vegan and gluten free options, great variety of gifts and pre-made sandwiches and salads great to grab if you’re on the road. The gluten free donut was a bit exxy but all the other deserts were well priced!

My friend and I love this place so much!

Amazing place!! WiFi and chargers for remote work/roadtrip planning, amazingly nice local staff…definitely a must stop if you’re coming through Dunsborough!

Amazing place to grab a bite to eat and shop. The food is FANTASTIC, fresh, and tastes amazing. Prices are very reasonable, and there is ample indoor and outdoor seating. There are plenty of vegetarian options. Coffee was also excellent. The shop has a nice selection of groceries and gifts.

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.

Good vibe, friendly service, good coffee and amazing mushroom toastie!

Only wish is that the toastie was bigger, but great value for money!

Just a gorgeous little place. Great out door area. Delicious food. The gourmet ham sandwich is outstanding. We adored the Danish open sand which too. And don’t get me started on the amazing locally made kombucha. Lovely staff here too. This place is an all round winner.

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)😬

By far my favorite coffee shop in town :)
Love the wide selection of specialty coffee, the changing range of beans and different brewing methods. Especially great to see a café offering different filter coffees and fresh pour over which is brewed fresh to order. Keeps the morning coffee order exciting and something I look forward to every time. For those who prefer espresso they also offer varying single origin beans.

The foods is also delicious. I love the ever changing salad creations and the freshly baked breads - do yourself a favor and pop in on a Friday to get a fresh loaf of the Danish Rye Bread!

The staff and the owners are lovely and have created such a warm, welcoming space for the community. The service is super quick even at busy peak times. I’ve never had to wait longer than 10mins when the shop was super busy and there were lines out the door. However if you want to jump the queue, just order a filter coffee which are available for self service :)

Loved this cafe in Dunsborough. It was very crowded due to it being Easter weekend, but we were still served within a decent amount of time given the queue. There was a good range of fresh food and pre-made items, and lots of little things around the shop to look at and/or purchase.

Kids loved the little play area which seemed to be quite clean, and the coffee was great. Will probably be our go to coffee joint whenever we are down south.

Wonderful coffee and cake. Lots of options for breakfast and lunch. A few outside tables and a lot inside. Highly recommend

This is definitely Melbourne's best kept secret and one among our best (top 10 ) meals. They do some amazing coffee and food.

A must..

Always the most welcoming staff. Warm, friendly, vibrant place. My favourite coffee in town. Not a bad word to say about merchant

What an amazing little place, coffee is beautiful and food so delish….

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

Best coffee shop in Dunsborough, it’s pumping but there are many things to look while you wait.

Consistent year after year, top quality cafe in all they do from savoury cabinet offering to coffee. Salt & rosemary focaccia is a stunner.

Experience a delightful ambiance complemented by premium coffee and exceptional culinary offerings at Merchant and Maker – your go-to destination for a morning coffee indulgence.
