Fremantle · Western Australia
Driftwood is a specialty roastery and espresso bar by the Fishing Boat Harbour. We roast single-origin beans on-site twice a week and pour them across the counter minutes from the sea.
Who we are
Driftwood Coffee Roasters is a small-batch specialty roaster and espresso bar in Fremantle, Western Australia. We roast single-origin beans on-site twice a week, serve espresso, filter and cold brew across the counter, and sell four house roasts in 250g and 1kg bags. Everything happens within earshot of the harbour — the roaster, the grinder, the till.
We keep the batches small on purpose. It means we can read every roast curve, taste as we go, and get coffee onto the shelf close to the day it was roasted. No warehouse, no guesswork — just beans we've followed from green to cup.
The house roasts
Named for the harbour we work beside. Available as 250g and 1kg bags, whole bean or ground to order at the bar.
Cocoa · Dark cherry · Molasses
Our everyday espresso — deep, rounded and built to hold up against milk. The one most regulars take home.
From $22 · 250g
Caramel · Almond · Ripe plum
A balanced medium roast that swings both ways — clean as filter, sweet as a flat white.
From $23 · 250g
Jasmine · Stone fruit · Honey
Bright and lifted, roasted light for filter and cold brew. A cooler cup for warm mornings.
From $24 · 250g
Red apple · Toffee · Citrus peel
A gentle rotating single-origin that changes with the season. Ask what's on the roaster today.

How we roast
Small batches let us stay close to every stage. Here's the path each roast takes before it reaches the counter.
We buy green beans in quantities we can actually get through, so nothing sits stale in the back.
Twice a week, on-site, one small drum at a time — logging each roast curve as we chase the sweet spot.
Beans rest a few days to settle before they hit the shelf or the espresso hopper.
Ground to order at the bar or bagged for home — always close to its roast date.
Why Driftwood
You're never far from a fresh batch. We roast in the same room we pour in, so freshness isn't a marketing line — it's the layout.
We log every roast curve and taste as we go. Each bag carries notes because we've actually cupped it, not guessed.
Set near the Fishing Boat Harbour, the bar is built for slow mornings — a coffee, the salt air, and the roaster running out the back.
Saturday cupping
Every Saturday morning we open the counter for a free public cupping. Slurp your way through the four house roasts, learn what you're actually tasting, and find the bag that suits your kitchen.

Good to know
We're near the Fishing Boat Harbour in Fremantle, Western Australia. The espresso bar and the roastery share one salt-air corner, so you can smell the roast from the counter.
Weekdays 6:30am to 2pm, and weekends 7am to 1pm. Saturday mornings we also run our free public cupping.
Small batches, twice a week, on-site. That keeps every bag close to its roast date instead of sitting in a warehouse.
All four house roasts — Driftline, Harbourmaster, Southerly and First Light — in 250g and 1kg bags, whole bean or ground to order.
No booking needed. Just turn up on a Saturday morning and taste your way across the roasts with us.
