Wild Honey Café

Wild Honey Cafe sits on the New England Highway in Cabarlah, in the old Cuckoo Clock Shop building, on the run between Toowoomba and the Bunya Mountains. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, which is the main reason it is worth the stop.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome on leash in the outdoor seating area rather than indoors. Staff are known to bring out a water bowl on request, so ask when you order. There is no pet fee.

Known for. Merlo coffee, a solid bacon and egg roll, and cakes and sweets that keep locals coming back. The gardens and renovated outdoor space make it a relaxing spot to break up a drive, and there is a fireplace inside for cooler months.

Getting there and parking. The address is 9913 New England Highway, Cabarlah QLD 4352. There is a free on-site car park plus street parking out front. It gets busy on weekend mornings, so arrive early if you want an easy park and a table outside.

Nearby with the dogs. Highfields Falls Bushland Reserve has leashed walking trails a short drive south. Ravensbourne National Park is a short drive north with shaded rainforest tracks. If you're passing on the second or fourth Sunday of the month, the Cabarlah Farmers Market at the showgrounds is an easy add-on.

When to go. Weekday mornings are quieter and parking is easier. Good for a breakfast stop on the way to or from the Bunya Mountains with a dog who's happy to settle under an outdoor table.
