Winter In Margaret River

Winter is the perfect time to slow down, get out of the house, and enjoy the simple pleasures. Whether it's catching up with friends over coffee, treating yourself to a leisurely breakfast, or finding a cosy spot to unwind, there's something special about settling into a welcoming café on a cool day.

We feel winter makes a café visit feel even more rewarding.

At White Elephant enjoy winter has arriving on the coast, bringing dramatic ocean swells, crisp mornings, and the perfect excuse to indulge in life's simple pleasures. If you're looking for a reason to leave the house this week or weekend, we've got a crackling fire, hearty seasonal dishes, exceptional coffee, and some of the best ocean views in Margaret River waiting for you.

The Science of Staying Warm

There’s a reason a hot coffee feels so good on a cold winter morning. The warmth of your cup helps create an immediate feeling of comfort, while caffeine can gently stimulate your metabolism and leave you feeling more alert and energised.

Whether you're thawing out after a beach walk or settling in by the fire, a great coffee is one of winter's simplest pleasures. Grab your favourite brew, find a cosy seat, and watch the waves roll in at White Elephant.

Winter's Most Requested Breakfast

Every year, locals ask the same question: "Is the Spiced Porridge back yet?"

Our beloved winter-only porridge has returned, featuring warming spiced oats topped with homemade granola, rhubarb compote, maple, coconut, and pickled rhubarb. It's hearty, comforting, and exactly what you need on a cool Margaret River morning.

Available for a limited time only during winter. Don't miss your chance to enjoy this seasonal favourite.

Another Local Favourite Returns

Back by popular demand, this winter brings our Butter Chicken Curry. Tender marinated chicken is slow-cooked with authentic mild spices, tomatoes, cream, fenugreek, and cashews to create a rich, comforting curry that's packed with flavour without the heat.

Served with warm garlic naan for soaking up every last bite, it's the perfect dish to enjoy on a cool day while watching the waves roll in from the comfort of a seat by the fire. If you're looking for the ultimate winter warmer, this is it.
