Boosted Beans

Boosted Beans is a small, community-focused coffee spot at Shop 1/35 Chapple Street in Gladstone Central, geared to quick espresso, iced drinks and grab-and-go food rather than a lingering brunch. With footpath seating out the front, it is a handy mid-walk caffeine stop in the CBD.

The dog setup

Dogs are not allowed indoors, as with any food premises, but they are welcome at the outdoor footpath tables. Keep your dog leashed and tucked under the table, clear of Chapple Street's pedestrian traffic. Bring a collapsible bowl, because water provision is not guaranteed. The front seating catches the sun, so on warm Gladstone mornings pick a shaded spot or arrive early to keep your dog comfortable.

Coffee and the pie warmer

The lineup is espresso-based and fast: freshly pulled cappuccinos, iced coffee and milkshakes, plus hot bakery items including beef, bacon and cheese pies and sausage rolls. Dine-in, takeaway and delivery are all on offer. This is a takeaway-leaning spot, so treat it as a refuel rather than a sit-down meal. Hours run 5:30am to 4pm Monday to Friday and 6am to 2pm Saturday, with Sundays closed, which makes it one of the earlier coffee options in town.

Getting there and parking

The shop sits on Chapple Street in the Gladstone CBD with street parking nearby, which fills during the morning rush; the block is easy to cover on foot from anywhere central.

Close by with the dogs

Gladstone Regional Council keeps all unsignposted public areas on-lead, so walk the CBD streets leashed. For an off-lead run, Webb Park Fenced Dog Park in West Gladstone is the closest fenced option. Lightbox Espresso & Wine Bar and Grounded Society are other dog-friendly cafe stops in town.
