Lyra Cafe

Lyra Cafe is a local-focused cafe at 1/40 Griffith Street on the main Coolangatta street, a short walk from the beach. It opens early on weekdays for coffee, brunch and toasties, and it openly welcomes dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables along Griffith Street, easy to reach mid-walk. Keep your dog on a lead beside you. Water is sometimes offered, but bring your own bowl to be safe, especially on hot days.

Good to know. The coffee is the draw, including specialty cold foam brews, alongside gourmet toasties, granola, bacon and egg rolls and fresh smoothies.

Getting there. Griffith Street has a mix of free and paid street parking that gets busy on weekends, with public parking off Dutton Street and behind the Marine Parade centres. The cafe is a short walk from the beach.

Nearby with the dogs. The Coolangatta beachfront path is a few minutes away, Kirra Point is a popular walking route with views, and Queen Elizabeth Park sits by the beach. Check on-lead and off-leash signage before you go.

Best on a weekday morning before the footpath fills. Confirm current hours, as this is a newer cafe.
