This place truly deserves six stars! From the moment we arrived at Hummingbird Café in Busselton, we were struck by its warmth, charm, and relaxed vibe. The décor is stylish yet cosy, with lots of natural light and greenery that makes it feel like a true retreat. But what really set it apart for us was how thoughtfully everything was done — from the food to the service to the location.
Their gluten-free options are absolutely outstanding. So often, gluten-free menus feel like a compromise, but not here. We enjoyed gluten-free toast that was soft and flavourful, muffins that tasted like they were baked fresh that morning, and even beautifully plated gluten-free versions of their signature big breakfast and smashed avo. Every dish was generous, vibrant, and clearly made with love. You could really taste the difference that fresh, quality ingredients make.
The coffee was just as impressive — strong, smooth, and perfectly brewed. I had an oat milk flat white that honestly ranks among the best I’ve had on this trip through WA. And their cold-pressed juices and other beverage options made for a lovely touch.
What made this visit even more enjoyable was the fact that Hummingbird is located right beside a kids’ playground. It made such a difference for us as parents — our children could play safely within view while we actually got to enjoy our coffee and food without stress. It’s such a thoughtful setup for families and really elevated the whole experience.
Service was exceptional. Even though the place was buzzing with people, the staff were attentive, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable, especially when it came to food allergies and special diets. They made sure we were well looked after, and their genuine warmth didn’t go unnoticed.
All in all, Hummingbird is more than just a café — it’s a place where everyone, whether you’re gluten-free, a coffee lover, or a parent with young kids, can feel at ease and well taken care of. We’ll definitely be coming back next time we’re in Busselton — it’s a rare gem that gets everything right.
