Social 51

Social 51 is a newer community-focused espresso bar at 51 Bulcock Street, on Caloundra's main strip beside Henzells Agency. Dogs are welcome at the street-side tables, which makes it an easy coffee stop on a walk through town.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor, street-side seating along Bulcock Street, with the indoor area reserved for people and assistance animals under Queensland food rules. The Bulcock Street strip is well used to dogs, so a settled dog fits right in. Bring your own water bowl to be sure.

Good to know. It is a small local coffee spot pouring specialty beans from Sunshine Coast Coffee Distributors, built for a quick coffee or a relaxed chat rather than a full meal. It is best thought of as a friendly main-street pit stop.

Getting there. The address is 51 Bulcock Street. Street parking runs along Bulcock Street but gets busy, with public car parks a short walk away. It is an easy walk from Bulcock Beach or the CBD.

Nearby with the dogs. Bulcock Beach is a short walk for a foreshore stroll on lead, and the Caloundra coastal path runs on for a longer walk. Check the council signage for off-leash zones and hours before letting the dog off.

When to go. Mornings are the natural window for a coffee stop. The footpath tables are limited, so quieter weekday mornings are easiest with a dog.
