Meet Benesse - Your Local

We just love this community so much, we are here to stay. Since April 2009, Benesse has been an iconic Bunbury destination, loved by locals and tourists alike. A bit special, a bit different, a place that stands out as a beacon of hospitality, a lighthouse guiding you home. In the last decade we have served thousands of delicious meals to thousands of wonderful customers, all the time delivering countless cups of our famous, soul-lifting, house-blend coffee that we personally sourced for the discerning Bunbury palate. Passionate about food, family and community, the “captain at the helm”, Anthony Palumbo, and his team, strive to fill your belly with only the best, most lovingly prepared meals – ensuring flavour and taste are the backbone of every creation. The centrepiece of the thriving Bunbury social scene, you will find Benesse Bunbury filled with vibrant conversations, interesting local people, and even their pups. If you love dogs, patting dogs, hugging dogs, and everything that is dogs, come down for a spot of ‘dog-watching’. You’ll see glamorous local professionals on their lunch breaks, good old boys catching up for a coffee and a yarn, and cheerful families enjoying a meal out – generations and lifestyles breaking bread and rubbing shoulders. But it doesn’t stop there. Our second premises in Australind opened in 2017 and exists as proof that the Benesse recipe works, and works well. Not far from the estuary, the salty breeze and water views make a sunset sit an essential part of your week. This is the place to be in Australind, come and get a bevvy and a bite and watch the day end. The menu is full of fresh, flavourful options, our savvy customers hold us to a high standard. The Australind house is custom built, bespoke if you will, to South West standards and local tastes - you’ll find lots of NEW things to try, even if you are a regular at the Bunbury store. In addition to a carefully considered fit out, it features an outdoor garden perfect for everything from kiddies playing on weekdays, to parties on the weekend. It’s the perfect spot to sit with a cocktail, beer, cider or wine in hand - and all within a stone’s throw from home! We take pride in our amazing team, who is handpicked to ensure ultimate customer satisfaction and who allow Anthony’s dream, inspired by the sophisticated cafes of Sydney and Melbourne, to come to life, and give the South West people something unique to enjoy, and did we mention the coffee? Benesse is your local café, dedicated to the Bunbury people whose support has made it such a successful institution.
