In one word? Different. But different of the best kind. I found a cot, that’s been reinvented into a comfortable couch, a bathtub that has some sort of underwater ecosystem in it, and beautiful art everywhere. Even the coffee cups are beautifully odd-shaped. The café game is a tough one, but Kerfuffle Co is doing it their way, and doing it very well. Update: Photos added.

A cafe in Freo that feels like a part of your home. Community feel. Everyone is friendly. Dogs welcome. Kind staff. And the best COFFEE. I start most mornings here with a book in hand. Definitely check this cafe out!

Chilled and cheery women behind the counter and it is not even 6 am! They know quality and kind service! I got the lemon ginger pot of tea, plant milk and ricotta cake - which didn’t taste too sweet which is what I wanted and reasonably priced at under $12. Relaxed music is perfect. Dog friendly which is nice cus i have got none myself.

We ordered a flat white and skinny long mac topped up. I must say, the coffees were very good. Flavoursome and creamy and not too milky. Also, clearly a favourite for families with kids with its unique set up.

Love this place! Kerfluffle opens early, which is perfect for a morning coffee run. The long black is absolutely spot-on—smooth and strong. Great vibes all around, and the bonus? So many friendly dogs hanging out. Easily one of my favorite spots in South Freo.
