I can appreciate a great coffee and a friendly, cosy cafe, and I am quite discerning when making an assessment so if you are a cafe snob, listen up! Tealicious is the best thing Dunsborough has to offer in my mind. A brilliant, unpretentious menu with scrambled eggs TO DIE FOR!!!!!!! I worked in Yallingup for 2 months over the summer of 2010/2011 and I had scrambled eggs at Tealicious probably nearly twice a week once I had discovered how good they were. Velvety smooth and creamy on lovely toast that doesn't get soggy from the eggs, and at a brilliant price. All prices are fair at Tealicious which is amazing considering the high prices of the area. Even without the scrambled eggs I would still rave about Tealicious. A vast array of different teas available, and any true tea drinker would appreciate the fact that it's all leaf tea, not tea bags! Freshly squeezed juices in any combination, and pleasant staff to recommend yummy blends such as mint, pear and watermelon. Luscious smoothies - and I don't throw words such as luscious around willy nilly, they really are amazing. And don't recall ever having a less than good coffee... coming from someone who drinks coffee daily and won't drink a bad one. Naturally, service can get slow in times like, say for example the end of December (see above...) when it's peak holiday season, and often a gentle reminder or polite question is a very effective way to communicate should you have doubts about the status of your order. I might just remind anyone who hasn't worked in hospitality that people who work in the service industry are indeed people, they generally want to get your order right and help you have a pleasant experience, so if your expectations are not being met, often communication works rather than snobbery and abuse. I would wholeheartedly urge anyone to visit the appropriately named Tealicious and enjoy the de-licious food and drink on offer, grab a newspaper and get comfortable on the long benches and indulge in scrambled eggs, a coffee and finish off with a banana smoothie. Do it for me, I'm back in Melbourne and can't find a place quite as good...! I am from Melbourne, where it often seems like there are as many cafes as there are people.

An honest mistake that could happen to anyone ended up with the manager yelling at us in the middle of the restaurant, stating she would not apologize for what had not been her mistake but one of her employees' (or maybe we were lying), and making it clear that it was not her problem that when the coffee finally arrived the toast was cold... Tealiceos' manager has no clue what customer satisfaction means. There is a great distance between selling a good product and providing a good customer experience. This was the first time I've ever witnessed a manager deflecting responsibilities and getting into an argument with a customer over a miss-understood order. If you're thinking of visiting Tealiceous, make sure you are not in a hurry (20 mins to produce a coffee...) and that they got your order right.

I lucky to live in Perth so is not unheard of to drive this far for the week end. I stumbled across these guys while on a 2nd honeymoon with my husband. My husband was dead against having a high tea and only went to humour me, but even he agreed it was lovely. He's a dyed in the wool coffee man and found a tea that he loved. So much so we brought some home with us. I have been here and even if you are extremely fussy with your tea (as I am) you will find a tea to please here.
