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.
Parc Bah Espresso, Southport
Is this the most dog-friendly café on the Gold Coast? It just might be. The team at Parc Bah serve up more than just puppacinos – they also cook special dog treats like pumpkin cupcakes every now and then. They even serve Hugo’s dog-friendly ice cream, so your pup is as well catered for as you are.

Daymaker Espresso, Miami
Come for the specialty coffee, stay for the cute dogs. Daymaker isn’t just beloved by Miami locals and their pets, either – it draws crowds from far and wide with its must-taste menu. The Hash Benny is a personal favourite here in the scout office, as is the bircher panna cotta.
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 on the Palm Beach dog off-leash area 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.
Bancroft Roasters, Currumbin
Formerly known as Guilty, Bancroft is a favourite for pet parents – not only for its pet-friendly policy, but also for its ideal position. Bancroft is right near both Currumbin Creek and Tierney Park, so your dog can enjoy a run around before sticking their nose in a puppacino.
