From north to south, here is where to grab an afternoon coffee.
Afternoons in the Margaret River Region have a habit of stretching out.
Between beach hopping, winery visits and scenic drives, there are plenty of great coffee stops along the way. But if your caffeine cravings strike after most café doors have closed, you’re in luck.
Whether you’re chasing a late latte, a post‑swim flat white or a strong long black before sunset, here’s where the coffee is pouring past 2pm.

Coffee by the bay takes on a whole new vibe at Shelter Brewing Co. Open early and closing late, the foreshore favourite is just as popular for afternoon caffeine as it is for sunset beers. Grab a well‑made espresso or creamy flat white from the café window and soak up the Busselton Jetty views.
