What's on the counter today.
Espresso, filter, cold brew — poured fresh from beans roasted on-site twice a week. Everything below is available at the bar, and most of it goes home in a bag too.
Espresso bar
Coffee drinks, made to order.
We pull shots of whichever house roast suits the cup best. Ask us what's in the hopper — it changes with the week's roast.
Flat White
Small · Large
Driftline or Harbourmaster with silky steamed whole milk. The drink most regulars never deviate from.
$5 · $6
Cappuccino
Small · Large
A fuller body, more foam — the Driftline pulls through the milk with a long cocoa finish.
$5 · $6
Long Black
Small · Large
Hot water first, double shot poured over — keeps the crema intact and lets the roast speak for itself.
$5 · $6
Cortado
One size
Equal parts espresso and steamed milk. Strong enough to cut through a morning, gentle enough to sip slowly.
$5
Latte
Small · Large
Gentle and milky. Works with whole, oat or almond — ask at the counter for today's alternative milk options.

Filter & cold brew
Slower pours for when you're not in a rush.
We brew filter and cold brew from the lighter end of the roast range — Southerly and First Light are built for this. Bright, clean and worth slowing down for.
Pour-Over Filter
Southerly · First Light (seasonal)
Brewed to order over about four minutes. Jasmine and stone fruit on the Southerly; whatever First Light is running this week alongside.
$6
Batch Filter
Southerly
Brewed in a small batch each morning so it's always fresh. The quickest way to get the Southerly in your hands before it's all gone.
$5
Cold Brew
First Light · steeped 18 hrs
Steeped overnight from First Light, served over ice. Smooth, low-acid and quietly refreshing on a Fremantle summer morning.
$7

Good to know
Menu notes worth reading.
The hopper changes with the roast
We pull the freshest batch from the week's roast. What's in the espresso hopper on Monday may be different from Friday — ask us what's on today.
Alternative milks available
Oat and almond available daily. Add $0.70 to any milk drink. We'll always recommend which roast pairs best with what you're having.
First Light rotates seasonally
First Light is our rotating single-origin slot. The roast notes and origin shift with each new green purchase — check the blackboard or ask at the counter.

Menu questions
Frequently asked
Do you serve food?
We keep the focus on coffee. No kitchen — but the harbour foreshore has plenty of options a short walk away if you need something alongside your cup.
Can I buy bags of coffee at the bar?
Yes — all four house roasts are available as 250g and 1kg bags at the counter. We'll grind to your preferred method or pack it whole bean. Stock is limited to what's been roasted that week, so it's always fresh.
What roast do you use for espresso drinks?
We typically pull Driftline or Harbourmaster for milk-based drinks and long blacks. The hopper changes with each roast run — ask us what's in today and we'll tell you exactly what you're drinking.
Is First Light always the same origin?
No — that's the point. First Light is our rotating single-origin slot. The country, region and flavour notes change with each new green coffee purchase. Check the blackboard when you arrive or email us at [email protected] to ask what's coming next.
Do you do decaf?
We don't carry a standing decaf roast at the moment. If that's something you'd love to see, drop us a note at [email protected] — we're always listening.
What are your opening hours?
Monday to Friday 6:30am–2pm. Saturday and Sunday 7am–1pm. We're near the Fishing Boat Harbour in Fremantle — close enough to smell the sea from the counter.
Come in
The bar's open. The roaster's warm.
