Why it's worth checking out
Besser sits on Coonawarra Road at Winnellie, in Darwin's industrial-and-business area near the city. A much-loved cafe, it's become a genuine local favourite — the kind of welcoming, quality spot that draws a steady stream of regulars for good coffee and food in a relaxed, characterful setting.
The appeal is that combination of quality cafe fare, good coffee and a relaxed, characterful setting in a convenient location, ideal for a morning coffee, a leisurely brunch or a casual catch-up — a real treat to escape the tropical heat over a great cup. A quality cafe that's nailed the fundamentals becomes a real local favourite, and Besser has clearly won over a loyal following.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 750 reviews, it's clearly hitting the mark. Menus, opening hours and offerings change with the seasons, and a popular cafe gets busy on weekend mornings, so it's worth checking current details before a special trip — though for a great coffee and a casual bite, it's often just a matter of dropping in and seeing why it's so well rated at Winnellie.
