The blokes, whilst down in numbers, were up in spirits as they once again took on one of WA’s most pristine locations, Dunsborough! Admittedly out of our depth, it was only fair, right, and proper that we recruited the self-proclaimed “Face of Dunsborough”, “Celebrity Around Town”, “Guide of Tour Guides” or in our eyes “The bloke from the Cave”- Dave Reed to join us on our adventure. Today we hit up local Douth hotspot, Artezen Café to see what all the whispers were about.
Vibes 🍃- Located right in the heart of Dunsborough town, Artezen is a casual locale, operating as a cafe/restaurant and fully-licensed bar (I think this is why Dave took us). This place serves up some delicious brekkie options, smoothies, a Mediterranean inspired lunch menu and if you stay around a while, some wicked looking cocktails. Couldn’t quite compete with the quirky vibes and views of other down-south cafes, but they are a restaurant after all, and it was clear that’s their main priority.
Taste 👅 – Artezan use ‘Soco Coffee Roasters’ as their house blend and us blokes were keen to try something a lil different. This community blend features 3-distinct origins that culminate to produce a sweet caramel, cocoa, and malt finish. Certainly, a rich body and syrupy aftertaste that us blokes would happily try again (just maybe in a 6oz ).
Temperature 🌡 – Like the 1979 pop hit by Donna Summer, Hot Stuff! Just maybe too hot…
Glass Size 📏 – The terrifying vertical infinity symbol (8oz)! Glass made it delectable regardless.
Froth 🥛 – Close to a perfect 1cm of foam on one Lmac … and like Dave’s parents, too generous on the other.
General Appearance/Consistency 🤩 – Blown away by the traditional long mac art, have we been on the wrong path all along?
A very Art(ezen)sy brew today. A traditional long mac served with a smiley face could’ve been a mirror to reflect our own excitement. Despite our cave dweller friend boring us with stalagmites and stalactites, smiles were well and truly thrust upon our youthful faces. A Douth mainstay in the middle of Dunsborough town. Bom trabalho!
