The Happy Wife

Happy Wife is set in such a beautiful location — the perfect place to sit back in the sunshine right on the water’s edge. We were lucky enough to spot dolphins while we dined, which made the experience even more special. The menu is on the smaller side, but what they do offer is prepared really well. The food was fresh, full of flavour, and clearly made with care. A lovely spot if you’re after great food or brunch spot in a relaxed setting with unbeatable views.

Pet friendly area out the back with water view and they have dog treats to buy and water avaiable. Service is very good ans fast. Food looks like art at The Happy wife

Can Highly Recommend The Happy Wife Cafe. Firstly the service was great and the Staff super friendly and helpful. The food was excellent, with generous portions. A great hit with us!! The cost was very reasonable. The scenic outlook over the estuary provided a great backdrop & brought a certain tranquillity. A culinary highlight of our trip to Bunbury. A Very Happy Wife.

Food was perfectly cooked using fresh ingredients. It was delicious and you could taste the love and care put into its preparation. A refreshing experience. Friendly service and reasonably priced. The dolphins visited us whilst we dined which topped off an enjoyable brunch.

I recently visited this charming, dog-friendly café that has a lovely deck area overlooking the river. I arrived at 2pm, only to find that food service had already ended, despite their posted closing time of 2:30pm. Thankfully, I was able to order a coffee, which I enjoyed on the deck with my dog before they closed. It would be great if Google could update their hours to reflect that the kitchen closes half an hour earlier, so others don't make the same mistake (I noticed in the reviews that I'm not the only one who's experienced this). It's a shame they close so early on Sundays, as the rear deck is the perfect spot to relax with your pet for a Sunday lunch.

Delicious food. Casual and relaxing atmosphere. Overlooking Preston River.

Can't really go wrong here if you want a hot coffee and a fancy brekky.

Have been coming here for quite some time now and today the service was so amazing I had to leave a review. The gentleman at the counter was so polite and informative, and the waitresses were absolutely lovely. The wait for food and drinks was incredibly short, especially with how busy it was, not to mention how superbly well made everything was. Will be visiting again!

I popped in here on my way back to Perth on the recommendation from a local friend. The staff were friendly. Prices were average. I ordered cake and tea. The banana cake was moist and delicious, although more banana in it would never be a crime. The tea was lovely and the china used was a nice touch for me. The view from the outdoor seating area was lovely, even with the drizzling rain. While I was there the outdoor seating area was constantly packed with a constant turn over of people at lunchtime implying the place is popular even during the week. I would happily return again.

Went here because of the reviews in Yelp and we are headed to MR. quaint place with about 8 tables up front a few along the hallway and then more outback by the water(river) side. We sat by the water very relaxing and enjoyable. The menu changes daily on a black board so either take a pic or take turns after getting your table making orders at the counter. I enjoyed the berry crumpets, very delicious and fresh wish there were more crumpets or bigger crumpets to enjoy the berry/honey sauce. Daughter enjoyed the eggs Bennie, a good six portion and delicious. Other dish we enjoyed was the baked beans now I didn't taste this but the chorizo was great, bread and poached eggs yummy the beans were too sweet(more like a bbq sauce) so not want I wanted. The iced chocolate was OK tasted grainy not sure but I think it was the chocolate so not the best I've had. Great place to try!

I have NEVER been disappointed with a trip to the Happy Wife & will continue to come back again & again. Fresh, amazing food, a beautiful view & always smiling and helpful staff make it my favourite place to visit for breakfast or lunch in Bunbury. Make sure you try the Boston Baked Beans & homemade Chai. So good!!

Coffee get me my coffee! In Bunbury for an overnighter and not being a local, I wasn't sure where to go. After consulting Yelp I was sure that Bunbury must have more than the 4 found in the search. A competing site had heaps of options! Yelp needs help in Bunbury!! After trolling a few places I found that the locals were pretty taken with The Happy Wife. Then after doing a search for the restaurant name on Yelp it was there!?! So how come it doesn't come up when you search everything in the area?? Anyway we found it! Wow what a great little restaurant right on the water with a few different seating options. I'd say you would need to get there early if you wanted to be at a table right overlooking the water. Our breakfast was homemade fruit toast with butter and jam. The fruit toast was dense with fruit and not too many nuts. Toasted perfectly. Blueberry jam. All really yum. The 10 year old ordered the crumpets. Homemade with fresh fruit dotted around the plate and syrup. I can't say that they were really anything like a crumpet. More a fat pancake. I wouldn't have enjoyed wading thru the doughiness of the crumpets but a few mouthfuls offered by the 10 year old were quite tasty. He couldn't finish the dish, but really enjoyed what he did eat. The coffee was good. I didn't ask what they use but it tasted like fiori. I would totally revisit The Happy Wife. It's got a great range on the menu, the staff were lovely and I would love to go back and get a table near the water for a lunch!

The Happy Wife has the perfect setting for a relaxed, social brunch or soothing tea. Overlooking the waterfront, the picturesque view accompanies the amibiant atmosphere of this little nook in the wall cafe brilliantly. It's a lovely place to hide away from the world and chill out, curled up on one of their cussioned bench seats or under the shady umbrellas outside. I throughly enjoy this little slice of wholesome urban hospitality to relax in over a coffee. The Happy Wife offers a healthy menu with plenty of variety. Only breakfast and lunch plus coffee accompanying snacks are served here and if you're on a health kick your waistline will definitely be safe with most dishes. The use of fresh local ingredients not only makes the dishes extra delicious and crisp, but when you are sitting outside and get to enjoy the view of the vegetables gardens that run down the side of this little cafe, a sense of wholesome satisfaction also comes with consuming a delicious meal. However, the only actual menu available is written on a blackboard at the counter. This leaves the customer feeling slightly pressured to rush their choices: whether it be from a patiently waiting staff member to take your order or from fellow customers also waiting in line. Moving the menu away from the front of the que or simply laminating menus for the individual tables would be highly recommended. Overall The Happy Wife offers a small, yet colourful menu of fresh, creative dishes; a mix of classics as well as unique creations. They've capitalised on their location and size beautifully and i look forward to my next visit to The Happy Wife.

Lovely setting right on the waters edge . Friendly staff and good service . Went for brunch prices reasonable . Bruschetta with field mushrooms and goats cheese very nice.

Happy Wife...Happy Customers. This has got to be one of Bunbury's best kept secrets. Really great coffee and super friendly service. You couldn't ask for anything more.
