Coffee before the climb and a burger after it, right at the Bluff Knoll turn-off.

​

Bluff Knoll Cafe sits on Chester Pass Road at Amelup, next to the Bluff Knoll turn-off and about an hour's drive from Albany. Catherine and the new owners took over in May 2025 and run it as a family business, with barista coffee, cakes, muffins and a lunch menu six days a week.

[{"order":1,"question":"When is Bluff Knoll Cafe open?","answer":"The cafe is open six days a week, 8am to 4pm, and closed on Tuesdays. Doors open at 8am, so you can grab a coffee before an early start on Bluff Knoll and still be back down in time for lunch. If you are travelling on a Tuesday, plan to stop on another day, and if you want to check anything before you drive out, call the cafe on 08 9827 9203."}, {"order":2,"question":"What is on the menu?","answer":"Barista coffee is the mainstay, along with hot chocolate and cold drinks. The cabinet carries cakes and muffins, and the lunch menu covers burgers, sandwiches and toasties. Burgers are the item reviewers mention most, and the steak sandwich and carrot cake come up often too. The cafe suits a coffee and a muffin before the climb as well as a full lunch after it."}, {"order":3,"question":"Where is the cafe, and how far is it from Bluff Knoll?","answer":"The cafe is at 8620 Chester Pass Road, Amelup, right beside the turn-off onto Bluff Knoll Road, so you pass it on the way into the national park and on the way out. The Bluff Knoll car park is about 8 km up Bluff Knoll Road. The Bluff Knoll walk is about 6 km return and most people allow three to four hours, so the cafe works well for a coffee before you set off and a meal after you come down. Albany and Mount Barker are each about an hour's drive away."}, {"order":4,"question":"Can I book a group for lunch?","answer":"Yes. Group bookings for a dine-in lunch are taken by phone on 08 9827 9203. Call ahead, tell the team how many people are coming and roughly when you will arrive, so the team can plan for your group. The cafe has fed large groups before, including a crew of 60 from the Camp Quality WesCARpade in September 2026."}, {"order":5,"question":"Is there room for caravans, and is the cafe wheelchair accessible?","answer":"Yes to both. There is a large car park with room for cars and caravans, which makes the cafe an easy stop on a trip up or down Chester Pass Road. The car park, the entrance, the seating and the toilet are all wheelchair accessible."}]
