Sip Banksia Grove

Sip is a small cafe on Jewel Way in Banksia Grove that built its name on loaded teas, protein smoothies and health-focused drinks rather than a full kitchen. For dog owners it is a quick, casual pause point: footpath tables out the front, no booking culture and a grab-a-drink rhythm that pairs naturally with a neighbourhood walk.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables, with the indoor space geared to quick pickups and short sits instead. Staff can usually produce a water bowl on request, but this is a short-stop venue, so keep the visit loose and the lead on. If you want a long lingering brunch, the bigger cafes in the precinct handle that better.

What to order

The draw is the loaded teas, sugar-free and brightly coloured, plus protein smoothies in flavours like Biscoff, with vegan and gluten-free options across the board. The West Australian flagged the loaded teas as a trend-setter when the shop opened, and the funky flavour combinations are still the reason locals keep coming. There is no real food menu, so treat it as a drink stop.

Getting there and parking

You will find it in the Banksia Grove commercial precinct on Jewel Way, with free street parking out front and a nearby car park, all flat and easy with a dog in tow.

Worth knowing

Trading days are short: roughly Wednesday to Sunday, closed Monday and Tuesday, so check before you build a walk around it. For a proper off-leash run beforehand, Edgar Griffiths Dog Park at Wanneroo is the closest big fenced option, and back in the Grove both Dome Cafe Banksia Grove and Hunter & Fleur cover the sit-down coffee end of the strip. The area list is on the Banksia Grove destination page, with more WA options in the Western Australia cafes index.

Aim for the open days midweek or on the weekend and slot it in as a refuel between walks. A healthy-drinks stop with the dog on the footpath, not a destination.
