Spoon And Bean Cafe

Spoon And Bean Cafe is a small neighbourhood coffee spot on Saffron Street in Elanora, open early for the pre-work and pre-walk crowd, with a relaxed outdoor setup that welcomes dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out front. It is a casual footpath-and-courtyard style setup, so keep your dog leashed and settled by your chair. A water bowl is generally out for thirsty dogs, but bring your own if you are fussy about it.

Good to know. Locals rate the coffee and the breakfast menu, think bacon and egg burritos, build-your-own bagels and Bircher muesli. The cafe also stocks local gifts and art, and runs occasional Sunday sessions with live music, so it can get busier and louder than a quiet coffee run.

Getting there. It sits in a small commercial strip on Saffron Street, an easy stroll for locals or a short detour off the Gold Coast Highway. Street parking is available directly out front, though it can fill during the breakfast rush.

Nearby with the dogs. The leash-free area near Tallebudgera Creek and Pine Lake Park is close by, handy for a swim before or after coffee. Palm Beach and Currumbin are a short drive away if you want an off-leash beach session too.

When to go. Early morning suits both the dogs and the coffee, before the Sunday session crowd builds. Good for a quiet pre-walk flat white with a well-behaved dog on leash.
