ROAST AND TOAST LUNCH BAR AND CAFE

Roast and Toast Lunch Bar and Cafe sits comfortably on Andrew Street in Esperance as a casual spot that blends the ease of a café with the heartiness of a lunch bar. It's the kind of place where locals drop by for a substantial breakfast before heading out for the day or settle in for a relaxed lunch with a variety of options that go beyond typical café fare.

The atmosphere here is unpretentious and welcoming, matching the town’s laid-back coastal vibe. The interior is straightforward, with friendly and efficient service noted even when the place isn’t bustling, making it a reliable stop any time of day. Despite its simplicity, there’s a clear emphasis on doing classics well, particularly their well-run poached eggs and bacon on toast — a popular pick for anyone needing a solid breakfast on the go.

On the lunch menu, choices range from the fresh and lightly dressed Vietnamese Salad to more filling plates like Black Angus Porterhouse Steak and Chicken Parmigiana, satisfying different appetites and tastes. Portions are generous, making it suitable if you're looking to recharge after exploring the town or beachside activities. The seafood basket and garlic prawns underline the local take on coastal flavors, giving a nod to Esperance’s fishing traditions.

The coffee experience is mixed based on local chatter; while the coffee is generally well-regarded, there have been some snags with timing, especially during busier periods, where takeaway is sometimes preferred. Cakes and muffins, like the carrot cake and blueberry muffin, seem to complement the coffee well, catering to those who swing by for a casual snack or an afternoon pick-me-up.

Best visited in the morning for a straightforward breakfast or early afternoon for a hearty lunch, Roast and Toast feels tailored to locals and visitors who want a no-frills spot with reliable, homestyle food served without fuss. Whether you’re just grabbing a quick bite before hitting the road or sitting down after a morning at the beach, it caters to practical dining with a friendly local touch.
