Laurimar Espresso Bar

Laurimar Espresso Bar is a small, quick-service coffee spot in the Laurimar Town Centre in Doreen, popular with locals for a fast, well-made coffee on the way through. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating on the footpath out front.

The dog setup. Seating sits directly on the paved footpath at the front of the cafe, so it's an easy in-and-out stop rather than a settle-in courtyard. Keep dogs leashed beside you. Some visitors report water bowls and treats being put out for dogs, but this isn't guaranteed every visit, so bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Known for. A reliable, quick coffee stop with a strong local following for its coffee blend and friendly baristas. It's more of a grab-and-go than a long breakfast destination.

Getting there. Free street parking is available on Hazel Glen Drive right outside, and the flat, paved town centre precinct makes access simple.

Nearby with the dogs. Appret Cafe is close by in the same town centre for a longer sit-down option, and Hamlin Street Fenced Dog Park is a short drive away for a run either side of your coffee. Laurimar Hill Park and the Zannon Walkway are also both within about a kilometre for a stretch of the legs.
