Bubbly Tea and Coffee Co

The Bubbly Tea and Coffee Co is Christies Beach's cosy corner cafe at 1/33 Beach Road, a short walk back from the foreshore, serving specialty bubble teas, Stay Grounded coffee and baked goods. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables along the footpath, and the team is openly dog-loving: the menu includes puppa-chinos, and the cafe has run Pup Cup giveaways donating proceeds to a local dog rescue.

The dog setup

Dogs sit with you at the outdoor tables along the Beach Road frontage. Ask for your dog's puppa-chino when you order, keep the lead short on the shared footpath, and pick a table away from the door flow at busy morning times. Hours run from 6am on weekdays to early afternoon, with slightly later weekend starts, so it is a breakfast-and-morning-tea stop rather than a late lunch one.

The drinks and the cabinet

The bubble teas are built on zero-sugar bases, with fully sugar-free options and house specials like the Galaxy, Swirl and Matcha Split. The coffee is Stay Grounded, an Australian roaster out of Western Australia, and the cabinet covers croissants, vegan treats and smoothies. Reviewers regularly call out the friendly owners and the welcome, which tracks with how they treat visiting dogs.

Getting there and parking

Beach Road is the main strip of Christies Beach, about 35 minutes south of Adelaide on the Southern Expressway, with the sand and the jetty a few minutes' walk downhill. Street parking runs along Beach Road and the cross streets.

Close by with the dogs

The Keast Park off-leash dog beach at Seaford is a short drive north for a proper run on the sand, and FLAVA Cafe is another dog-friendly coffee stop in Christies Beach. DUKE'S Cafe at Moana pairs well with the coastal walk south.

More of the area's dog-friendly venues are on the Christies Beach destination page, with the state list in the South Australia cafes index.
