Beautiful location near the beach, bubbly, efficient staff who make delicious coffee! Plenty of gluten free/ dairy free/ refined sugar free/ vegan options and yummy bagels, banana bread, cinnamon scrolls + more. All products support local small businesses too what’s not to love

Gorgeous little coffee van run by an incredibly wholesome and passionate johnny. Have tried the chicken panini, toasties, crossaints and acai, still yet to try the breaky wrap but can honestly say this is one local food vendor I'm so happy to give my money too almost every morning..Every single food item, coffee, smoothie and juice has been fresh perfection. Thankful he takes so much pride in his van as it shines through the select menu items and beverages. Johnny is such a delightful individual which makes the experience 10x better. You can sit and eat at the few tables put out or take your breaky down the beach for a stroll with all the doggos. Perfect way to start the day!

It's a great little van/cafe. It has a great location next to the North Coogee dog beach. I especially love that they sell dog treats. The young man that runs the van also always remembers my order, which is very lovely.

Johnny makes the best coffee in Freo & is the friendliest barrister around! He's created a great spot at CY OCONNOR beach.

Gorgeous location for this new cafe! The coffee is delicious, they have bagels, their sweet things/slices are gluten free (GF, DF, Vegan, Refined Sugar Free). You can hear the waves while you walk along the path or while you just sit and chat with a friend. Nice playground next to it. Toilets nearby. Cheerful staff despite the sun not even being up (but the moon was setting, that was pretty!!). Well worth the trek "outside Fremantle" (barely). You can also grab a popsicle or a doggie treat!
