Go Walkies to the Best Dog Friendly Cafes in Brisbane

Part of being a dog parent is the desire to give them the best life possible, whilst spending every spare minute you can with them! One of the easiest ways to incorporate more quality time with your dog into your busy routine is to include them on your breakfast, lunch and brunch dates throughout the week.

Brisbane is a very pet friendly city and there’s no shortage of dog-friendly cafes. We’ve listed a few of our favourites for you below, so you can discover your new local.

Snag & Brown

Not only does Snag & Brown serve up some seriously tasty brunch dishes and perfectly roasted Bear Bones coffee, but they’re also one of the best dog-friendly cafes in Brisbane. What sets this cafe apart is its very own off-leash dog park, which provides the perfect opportunity for your furbaby to blow off some steam while making some new friends. 

On the menu you’ll find brekkie classics like eggs Benedict and avocado bruschetta, but also some pet-friendly puppicinos, too.

Natura Cafe

This Salisbury cafe initially drew us in with its dreamy curved interior, Greek frappes and delicious smoothies, but when we heard they were also dog-friendly, they had us hook, line and sinker!

Serving all-day breakfast and Mediterranean-style lunch, Natura Cafe is a great option to park your pup and sit down for a Stel coffee and a souvlaki any day of the week. They have a covered outdoor area, so you’re covered whatever the weather.

Barko & Co

Barko & Co are dog-friendly and proud of it. It’s the perfect pit stop to rest your paws after a long walkies down the Riverwalk! Barko & Co offers a menu bursting with fresh gluten-free and vegetarian options, along with a cheeky wine menu, making it perfect for spending slow weekends in the sunshine with friends.

Mary Mae’s

Mary Mae’s is easily one of the best dog-friendly cafes in Brisbane, not only for its pawsome location right on the waterfront at New Farm, but its proximity to the Teneriffe Riverwalk and New Farm dog park, too!

You can plan the perfect day out with your pooch before heading to Mary Mae’s to cool off and enjoy a bite to eat. They’ve got freshly made dog treats and an on-site puppy paddle pool, so your dog is going to have a tail-wagging good time here.

119 Lamington Street, New Farm

The Smug Fig

The Smug Fig is a long-term favourite on the Brisbane brunch scene, and their dog-friendly attitude totally seals the deal for us! An all-day brunch menu by day, and bar by night, The Smug Fig is one of our favourite weekend spots for an all-inclusive catch-up.

7 Jeavons Lane, Stones Corner

Nowhere Espresso

Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Toowong Central, Nowhere Espresso is a family-oriented, dog-friendly cafe. Preparing highly-rated coffee and fresh brunch plates, it’s a perfect place for a quick coffee break or a relaxed start to the weekend.

8 Bent Street, Toowong

Neighbourhood Coffee Roasters

There’s every chance you haven’t stumbled across Neighbourhood Coffee Roasters, as they’re tucked away in the industrial district of Albion. Between the workshops and garages, you’ll find the Albion Fine Trades mini-mall, with food and decor shops to wander through.

But if a dog-friendly breakfast is on your mind, head into this airy, roomy cafe for great service and even better coffee. There’s also off-street parking, so you can safely get your pooch in and out of the car.

Albion Fine Trades, 97 Sandgate Road, Albion

Alcove Cafe & Deli

The Alcove crew are dog lovers through and through, as evidenced by the giant jar of dog treats on their front table as you enter. They regularly snap and share the cutest doggo visitors on their Instagram, and you’ll often catch owners Pep and Fergus fetching treats to dole out with a healthy side of pats, cuddles and love.

92 Kedron Brook Road, Wilston

Little Black Pug

If the name hasn’t given it away, this south side cafe welcomes dog lovers and their pooches alike! At Little Black Pug, there’s a fresh and seasonal menu to enjoy, which highlights local produce whilst catering to the diverse palates of their customers and their dietaries.

Whilst the menu may seem small, it is 99% gluten-free, 60% vegetarian and 30% vegan, so there’s something for everyone! This dog-friendly cafe aims to operate in an environmentally friendly way, reducing waste, reusing and recycling wherever possible.
