Coffee Staines - Café

Coffee Staines sits at 72 Ford Street, right on Beechworth's main strip, and your dog is welcome at the seating under the front verandah. That shaded footpath spot is the reason it works as a coffee stop while you are exploring the historic centre. Doors open at 7am on weekdays and 7.30am on weekends, with the kitchen wrapping up at 2pm and the cafe closed on Tuesdays.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the verandah seating out front, which gives shade and shelter on the main street through most weather. The cafe is reported to hand out pup cups, so there is a good chance of a treat, though confirm on the day. As with most cafes, dogs stay in the outdoor seating rather than indoors. Bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Max: the verandah tables fill with mid-morning walkers in school holidays, so go at opening time if your dog prefers a quiet footpath.

Worth knowing

The kitchen leans hard into inclusive catering, with options flagged for coeliac, vegan, vegetarian and low-FODMAP diets, plus a reliable all-day breakfast. It is a handy fuel stop before or between walks around town.

Getting there and parking

It is on the main strip at 72 Ford Street, with street parking directly out front or nearby plus some off-street options. Most of central Beechworth's accommodation is an easy walk away, so you can leave the car at your lodgings and stroll in.

Close by with the dogs

It is a short stroll to the Town Hall Gardens for a green break, and several Ford Street shops welcome dogs inside, some with water bowls out. If you are staying over, Beechworth Lake Sambell Caravan Park keeps dogs welcome by the water, and tiny of beechworth is the town's other dog-friendly coffee stop.
