On D Run Coffee

On D Run Coffee is a family-run takeaway van set up in the Bellevue RSL car park at 2 Purton Place, Bellevue, trading mornings only. It is a quick-brew stop rather than a sit-down cafe: order at the window and settle on whatever outdoor seating is out around the van. Locals rate it highly for fast, friendly service and freshly made food.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor area around the van, which makes it an easy mid-walk stop. Keep the lead on the whole time because the van operates from an active car park, with cars moving through to the RSL. Water bowls are not guaranteed, so carry your own collapsible bowl if your dog needs a drink on warmer mornings.

Worth knowing

The menu covers the classic van staples: lattes, cappuccinos and mochas, iced coffee for hot days, and a food run of bacon and egg rolls, loaded breakfast rolls and wraps, and a rotating line of toasties. Nothing on the menu is sit-down service, so plan your visit as a grab-and-go. Payment is by cash, card or tap. Hours lean early, closing around midday at the latest, and they have shifted before, so it is worth a quick check of the van's own site or a call before you head over on a public holiday.

Getting there and parking

The van sits in the RSL car park off the main roads through Midland and Helena Valley, and parking is not a problem since it operates from the car park itself. It is also a natural stop along the local heritage trail through Bellevue.

Close by with the dogs

For a longer outing, Swan View Fenced Dog Park is a short drive east in the Perth Hills for proper off-lead time. If you would rather sit down with a coffee, Macris Cafe and Scott Street Coffee House are both dog-friendly options nearby.

More options are on the Western Australia dog friendly cafes guide and the Bellevue destination page.

Max: this one is a grab-and-go. Order, give the toastie two minutes, and keep the lead clear of the car park lane while you wait.
