EightyTwenty Coombs

The lead. EightyTwenty in Coombs is a busy Molonglo Valley cafe pushing the "80% nourishing, 20% indulgent" philosophy, open daily from 6:45am to 3pm, and dogs are welcome both inside and out.

The dog setup. Dogs are allowed indoors and in the outdoor seating area, which gives you options when the weather turns. It's a family-friendly spot that gets crowded on weekends, so keep your dog leashed and tucked close to the table. Staff are accustomed to having dogs around, but bring your own water bowl to be safe.

Good to know. The menu leans healthy without being boring. Regulars rate the acai bowls, the Japanese salmon salads, and the nutrient-packed smoothies. The 20% indulgent covers a solid French toast and eggs benedict. Coffee is consistent and the chai gets a mention. Vegetarian and vegan options are extensive, and the raw desserts are worth leaving room for.

Getting there. The cafe sits in the heart of Coombs in the Molonglo Valley. Street parking is available nearby. It's a straight run out of the city via Adelaide Avenue and Cotter Road.

Nearby with the dogs. The Molonglo River corridor sits close by with shared paths suitable for walking dogs before or after a feed. Coombs sits on the western edge of the existing suburb network, so it's a quieter base than Civic for combining a walk and a coffee.

When to go. Weekday afternoons are the quiet window if you want space and a relaxed table with your dog. Saturday and Sunday mornings are packed, so arrive early or expect a wait. The kitchen closes at 3pm sharp.
