Nook Espresso(Currumbin Waters)

The short version. Nook Espresso on Currumbin Creek Road is a small, fast, coffee-first spot with footpath seating out the front. It is a grab-a-coffee-and-go kind of place rather than a long sit-down brunch, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables.

Where the dogs go. The outdoor footpath seating is where dogs settle, and the open layout means you can keep your dog beside you while you order. The counter area inside is compact and not for dogs, in line with the usual food rules. A water bowl is generally about, but bring your own if it is warm.

Worth knowing. It pours Bun Coffee and leans on a fresh grab-and-go cabinet rather than a big menu. Service is quick and the crowd is mostly locals on the move. Hours are early, roughly 6am to early afternoon on weekdays and mornings only on Saturday, with Sundays typically closed, so check before a weekend run.

Getting there. It sits in a small retail complex just off Currumbin Creek Road, with parking in front of the shops that fills during the morning rush, plus street parking close by.

Make a morning of it. The coast is a short drive away, with Currumbin Alley and the creek off-leash area worth pairing with your coffee.
