Double Shot on Brighton

Double Shot on Brighton is a casual coffee and takeaway spot on the small Brighton Street strip in East Ballina, a few minutes' walk from Shaws Bay. It's an easy dogs-welcome stop for a coffee or a bite before or after a walk around the bay.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome with you at the outdoor, undercover seating in front of the shop. It's footpath-style seating rather than an enclosed courtyard, but it's sheltered, so your dog can settle beside you at the table. Staff are known for being good with dogs, and a water bowl is usually on hand. Order at the counter and keep your dog outside with you.

Good to know. Reviewers rate the organic coffee and the breakfast run, including a bacon and egg burger, quiches and cabinet bakery items. It's a takeaway-first place with a relaxed feel, so it suits a quick stop more than a long sit-down.

Getting there and parking. It's on the Brighton Street shops in East Ballina, with free parking in the bays out front and on the surrounding streets. Parking is rarely a problem.

Nearby with the dogs. The walking paths around Shaws Bay are only a few minutes away and make a good on-lead loop, and East Ballina's beaches are close by for a longer walk. Check Ballina Shire Council signage for the current off-leash zones and times.

Best as an early morning coffee stop on the way to the bay. Good for dogs happy to settle at a footpath table.
