Mummy's Cafe

Mummy's Cafe sits in the Aura estate at Bells Creek, a short walk from the Baringa and Aura Central Park pathways, and it is one of the more relaxed dog stops on this stretch of the Sunshine Coast. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor veranda, and the cafe keeps a jar of dog biscuits behind the counter for exactly this reason.

Dog access. Dogs are welcome on the outdoor, partially covered veranda tables. Keep dogs on lead while seated. The cafe offers dog biscuits and puppuccinos on request, a nice touch if you are stopping after a walk.

Known for. Mummy's Cafe runs a solid brunch menu with a good spread of vegetarian and vegan options, alongside the breaky burger and calamari salad regulars keep coming back for. It is also popular with families, thanks to a fenced kids' play area next to the outdoor seating, so expect a busy, sociable atmosphere rather than a quiet corner table.

Getting there. The cafe is at 1 Tucker St, Bells Creek, in the Aura estate near Caloundra. Parking is free, in the car park and on the street, and the paths in from parking are flat and easy for prams and dogs alike.

Nearby with the dogs. Aura Central Park is close by and makes a good pre- or post-coffee stretch, and the estate's walking tracks are worth exploring if you have time to spare.

Go early on weekends if you want a table, this one fills up fast with both the pram and paw crowd. Confirm current hours before you head out, as cafe hours can shift seasonally.
