Best Cafes in Rockingham

Take a stroll along the foreshore and visit some of the best cafes in Rockingham

Relaxed and casual, you’ll feel right at home in the Rockingham cafe scene.

Over the years it has quietly transformed into a premier coastal spot for those sunny summer days and lazy afternoons, and the cafe scene has certainly kept up.

Get the family together and make a day of it as you hit the waves and then stroll along the foreshore for some well-deserved food and drink to while away the afternoon.

1. Lu Lu’s

A beloved family-owned cafe in the heart of Rockingham, Lu Lu’s serves up delicious homemade meals and just as delicious Vittoria coffee on the foreshore. 

You’ll feel right at home with hearty menu items like avo smash, breakfast bruschetta, carbonara, big brekkie, and beef burgers while you overlook the beach.

It’s the perfect spot for a Saturday morning breakfast, and your furry friends are welcome to tag along- they’ll even get a treat of their own on arrival.
