THIR13EN Coffee & Eats

THIR13EN Coffee & Eats is a roadside cafe at 752 Cudgen Road, sharing space with the local fruit and veg produce store on the same farming property. It opens early on weekdays, runs seven days, and the outdoor seating is genuinely set up for dogs rather than just tolerating them.

The dog setup

Dogs are allowed in the outdoor areas. Seating is casual and rustic, so keeping a dog close by is easy, and water bowls are generally out for visiting pets. The usual courtesy applies: keep your dog leashed and settled so other guests can enjoy their coffee too.

The vibe

The cafe pours Willy's Beans coffee exclusively, off a La Marzocco, and is known locally for its cheese and bacon sausage rolls. Hot pies, fresh salads, home-baked cakes and pastries fill the rest of the cabinet, with the adjacent produce store supplying the fruit and veg. It doubles as a community hub for the area, so expect a local crowd rather than a tourist one, and a chai latte that draws repeat orders.

Getting there and parking

It is at 752 Cudgen Road, just off the main road through Cudgen and opposite the Tweed Valley Hospital site, with free on-site parking. That makes it an easy stop if you are passing through the Tweed with a dog in the car.

Close by with the dogs

The produce store next door is worth a browse for local produce, and the Kingscliff Dog off leash area is five to seven minutes away for a proper run, with Tweed Shire Council signage marking the beach boundaries. Nearby cafe options include Kava Collective in the same suburb, She Oak Espresso in Casuarina, and the Cudgen destination page collects the local list.

Hours run 5:30am to 1pm on weekdays and 7:30am to 12:30pm on weekends. Early weekday mornings suit the coffee run, while weekends bring a steadier local crowd. More options sit under the NSW cafes listing.
