Pause Button Cafe

The short version. A bright, colourful newer brunch cafe in Coomera, built around table service and a creative kitchen. Dog-friendly at the outdoor tables, and holding a 4.6 rating in its early reviews.

The dog setup. There is indoor and outdoor seating, and dogs are welcome in the outdoor area. It is roomy enough for a dog to settle, though the good spots go fast at prime brunch times. Staff commonly bring water for dogs, but a spare bowl in the bag is the reliable backup.

Good to know. The menu runs playful and inventive, think rosti, harvest bowls and chicken and waffles, alongside novelty drinks and matcha. Ordering is genuine table service, no QR codes.

Getting there. On-site parking is the standout here, a genuine rarity for the area, and it is an easy approach off the main Coomera roads near the theme-park precinct.
