Rock Hop Espresso

Rock Hop Espresso is a casual specialty coffee spot on Elizabeth Street, one block back from the beachfront. It is openly dog-friendly and a popular early stop for locals and visitors walking their dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables right on Elizabeth Street, and recent visitor reports say dogs are allowed inside too. The vibe is relaxed and accommodating to pets. Bring your own water bowl to be sure on warm days.

Good to know. The coffee is the headline, with healthy food, small plates, and a solid run of vegetarian and vegan options. Open early mornings until around midday. Confirm current hours before a special trip.

Getting there. Find it at 12b Elizabeth Street, an easy walk from the Coolum Surf Club beach area. Free street parking is on Elizabeth Street and surrounding streets.

Nearby with the dogs. It is a short walk to the main beach and the coastal footpath, with Tickle Park nearby for a grassy break. Check local signage for current on-leash zones, and head north to Stumers Creek for off-leash.
