About Swan Valley
Swan Valley is a 25 minute drive from the Perth CBD and is a fantastic destination for those who enjoy good food and drink. It’s WA’s oldest growing wine region and home to many breweries, wineries, restaurants and local food producers.
Download the helpful Swan Valley Food and Wine Trail Map (a 32-km loop that takes in over 150 attractions) to show you just how much can be enjoyed in the Swan Valley region! I recommend Yahava Koffeeworks being your first morning pitstop!
The trademark Yahava Jeep sits out the front of the Swan Valley Yahava Koffeworks Shed.
What is Yahava?
Yahava was founded in 2001 by ‘coffee fanatic’ Alex Kok, whose dream was to travel the world’s great coffee growing regions on his motorbike, discover the very best of the best coffees, and then ship these beans back to Western Australia. In his Metricup Road shed, he would roast the coffee beans and the rest has become WA history.
They source 100% Arabica coffee beans from over 20 countries around the world which are roasted on site every day in small batches. These freshly roasted coffee beans are sold as single origins or mixed with their own well-known Yahava blends.
What makes Yahava extra special is their coffee appreciation sessions/free tastings. Through the informative staff there, you can learn about coffee growing, harvesting and roasting while sampling free coffee at the same time!
My Sunday Arvo Experience
I went here a while back on a Sunday and was impressed with not only its beautiful location and abundance of coffee sourced from around the world (mmm, sexy, exotic, foreign coffee), but the super friendly service too. The staff here are very well informed and know their stuff. And as for the coffee, well it’s got rich, full-bodied flavours, and you’ll find a great range of fine leaf teas here too (the earl grey tea is a personal favourite). This is a perfect place to stop by on a weekend afternoon with a group of mates, or the perfect stop in the morning before wine touring the region.
It can often be crowded here but that shouldn’t be too surprising. It’s in a really awesome location with lots of coffee.
Walking to the entrance – Yahava ‘Adventure in a Cup”.
What a view. In warmer months, this is a great place to be to kickstart your mornings!
A little bit of info for you – Yahava is all about adventuring around the world in search for the finest coffees, and bringing them right back to WA!
The merchandise section inside Yahava Koffeeworks – field with lots of great gift ideas and accessories to enhance your coffee/tea lifestyle!
The free tastings bench, yes, free! – “Try before you buy” is the Yahava Koffeeworks motto. Although bookings are not essential, they do take bookings for groups of almost any size. Call them in advance and they can reserve you bench space.
One of their crew explains the subtle differences between the coffees, where they come from, what sets one coffee apart from another and even how you can compare coffees.
Coffee tasting here is definitely not boring – you have the opportunity to try a range of coffee (and also teas, iced teas, iced coffees and coffee essences if you so wish too) .
The crew member will help guide you through each one on offer and the beans are available to purchase in-store or online.
Coffee tasting is taken very seriously here – here we wait for the digital timer to go off before we can sample this beauty.
If you are a coffee lover like us, you’ll really enjoy this place. Also they have chocolate coffee beans! YES PLEASE!
The Koffee Academy inside Yahava KoffeeWorks offers barista training courses for all skills levels. Their two Koffee Academies are located in Swan Valley and the South West.
Yahava also sell their beans wholesale for your cafe, restaurant, retail outlet or corporate office. And not just coffee, but leaf tea,s syrups, essences and choc and frappe powders too.
Reinforcing it’s not all about coffee here – there’s also ‘The Tea Shed’ which showcases fine leaf teas on sale with samples for you to smell and taste.
Are you at tea drinker? There’s a wide selection here for you to explore.

For Pokemon lovers, apparently there are pokesteops out the back here.
KID FRIENDLY
Yahava is also kid friendly – there’s plenty of room for them to run around on the grass hill while you sit at the table under the verandah and watch them. Kid-friendly facilities are available too here, like a baby change table and highchairs. Why not bring a picnic and a ball to make the experience more family-fun!
