5 As a tradie anytime I work close to here I make a detour, staff are friendly. Owner always a friendly chat about 4wd and camping. My favourite coffee in Melbourne, best tasting take away coffee spot I’ve found. And I buy far too much coffee from cafes, so had a few.
5 Had to share this as a local Westerly has just gotten better. The new look’s fresh, the jaffle snacks are a great touch, and the coffee’s still tops. Feels good walking into a place that’s welcoming and real. Love seeing a local west-side business growing the right way and staying true to the community
5 I know this looks like a bot wrote this (straight fives) but I assure you I am an extremely flawed human. Steph and the team have done an amazing job with Westerly. The renovations are fantastic and, combined with the new menu, have given the place a great personality. Couldn’t be happier this is my local cafe.
5 Great coffee and delicious jaffles (highly recommend!). Cozy, warm, and cute dog-friendly café in the heart of Melbourne’s west, with super friendly staff :)
5 Amazing Cafe. Steph is just an absolute legend and her presence in the area is a real highlight. Welcome Steph and keep up the great work! Coffee is better than ever!
5 Great coffee (short black and piccolo) and the freshly baked cookies are a must! Has indoor and outdoor tables.
