The cafe
On the corner, where the main street bends
Dwellingup is a small town in the jarrah forest, about twenty five minutes up the hill from Pinjarra. The Munda Biddi and the Bibbulmun both run through it, the Hotham Valley trains pull out from the station, and Lane Poole Reserve is ten minutes down the road. Most people passing through end up on McLarty Street, and a fair few of them end up in here.
Blue Wren is a locally owned and run cafe. Inside there is a wood fire, mismatched timber tables and chairs, and a good deal of clutter that has been collected rather than bought as a set. Out the back there is a covered garden with a teapot tree in it, and a cubby for the kids.
The kitchen does breakfast and lunch, and the cabinet gets filled each morning with whatever has come out of the oven. Cakes, slices, tarts, pies and sausage rolls, all made here.

What's on
Six things worth knowing before you walk in
Baked here, not bought in
Cakes, pastries, pies and sausage rolls are made on the premises. The cabinet changes with whatever came out of the oven that morning.
Gluten free and vegan
Not an afterthought. There is a shelf in the cake cabinet given over to gluten free, and vegan options run through the menu.
Dogs are welcome
In the outdoor areas, on a lead, and not left on their own. Plenty of shade out the back for them while you eat.
Dine in or take away
Sit in the garden, take a seat by the wood fire, or grab the lot in a bag and keep going up the trail.
Catering
Cakes, slices and tarts by the platter for whatever you have on. Give us a ring and tell us the numbers.
Open every public holiday except Christmas Day.
The cabinet
Whatever came out of the oven this morning
Carrot cake, cheesecakes, lemon tart, caramel slice, brownies and tarts, plus the pies and sausage rolls. The top shelf is given over to gluten free, so there is usually more than one thing on it.
The board
Everything that goes in a cup
This is the board that hangs behind the counter, written out in full. Soy, almond and oat are all there, and so are vanilla, caramel and hazelnut if you want something in it. Tea comes as a pot for one or two.
There is a babyccino for the small ones and a kids milkshake, which between them have kept a lot of families going on the way back from Lane Poole.
