Boy Espresso Bar

Boy Espresso Bar is a popular Gladstone Central coffee spot on Goondoon Street, well rated for its coffee, cakes and friendly staff. Visitors regularly flag it as a pet-friendly place to grab a coffee, with dogs welcome at the outdoor seating.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, not inside. The footpath setup suits a leashed dog beside your table. Some reviews describe it as takeaway-leaning, so if you want to sit a while with the dog, confirm outdoor table seating is available when you arrive. Bring your own water bowl.

Good to know. The coffee draws steady praise, and the cakes, especially the carrot cake, get specific mentions. Reviewers call out the brekky wrap, waffles and bacon-and-egg muffins. It can get busy as a quick-break spot.

Getting there. On Goondoon Street near Herbert Street, with street parking out front and on adjacent streets. Walkable from central Gladstone.

Nearby with the dogs. The main street is good for a leashed stroll, with the marina and parklands a short distance for more open walking.

Best mid-morning once the early rush eases. Good for a quick coffee and cake with a settled dog.
