Don’t leave your pet out of your weekend plans. There are so many dog-friendly cafes on the Gold Coast to check out with your four-legged family member.
Stable, Tugun
Beloved by Pilates goers, parents and pups alike, Stable is the ultimate crowd pleaser. With delicious food, top notch coffee and a lush lawn to soak up the sun, it’s the perfect place to spend a weekend morning after a long beach walk. They’re so dog-friendly, in fact, they even have their own ‘Dogs of Cornerstone’ Instagram page. We love it.

Little Mermaid, Mermaid Beach
This Mermaid Beach favourite is proudly dog-friendly, welcoming pups and their owners with a smile whenever they stop by. With outdoor seating and puppycinos on the menu, it’s set to be a new favourite – both for you and your pooch.
The Henchman, Miami
Honestly, what can’t The Henchman do? Beloved as the perfect weeknight destination for its bingo and paint and sip nights, this licensed café and bar is open morning and night – and they’re more than happy for you to bring your dog along. Chances are they’ll make friends with one of the many other pups that always hang out in courtyard.
Dune Café, Palm Beach
It’s known as one of the most child-friendly cafes on the Gold Coast, but did you know that Dune in Palm Beach is also one of the most dog-friendly cafes on the Gold Coast, too? It’s perched by the Currumbin Creek dog beach so that your pup can run amok in the sand and sea and has plenty of outdoor seating if they’d rather relax at your feet.
Custard Canteen, Tallebudgera Creek
As the sister venue to Bam Bam Bakehouse, you already know the food and coffee offering at Custard is going to be good. But what makes it really special – other than its elite creekside location – is the dog-spotting. You can always find at least one happy pooch sitting under their outdoor tables, usually enjoying a much-needed mid-walk break (and a puppycino).
Everwild, Burleigh Heads
We can’t think of a more dog-friendly coffee stop than this one. Formerly ‘Palm Beach Loves Dogs’, Everwild has found a new home in Burleigh’s Elevation Fitness, and serving coffees, toasties and treats (for both humans and dogs).
Le Vintage Boutique, Worongary
One look at Le Vintage Boutique Café’s Instagram and it’s easy to see why this spot is hailed as one of the Gold Coast’s most pet-friendly cafés. Dogs are always warmly welcomed, but they’re not all – you just might spot a cat or even a horse during your breakfast. And the food and coffee are just as impressive as the company.
