Glo Juice

Glo Juice is a bright CBD cafe on Goondoon Street in Gladstone Central, opposite the library, built around made-to-order juices, smoothies and healthy food. The outdoor footpath tables are where dogs are welcome, which makes it a handy quick stop mid-walk through the main street.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating out the front, not inside. The tables sit right on the main street, so a leashed, settled dog tucked under the table works best, which lines up with Gladstone Regional Council's requirement that dogs stay on a leash in public places. Bring your own water bowl; provision here is not guaranteed.

Worth knowing

Juices and smoothies are the headline, backed by salads, wraps, rolls and a corned beef sandwich that regulars single out, with vegan and gluten-free options on the menu. Reviewers flag the healthy menu, value and fresh food. Hours run 7am to 2pm weekdays only, closed weekends, so this is a weekday breakfast-and-lunch stop. It is grab-and-go style rather than a long lingering brunch.

Getting there and parking

Goondoon Street is Gladstone's main CBD strip, with street parking out front subject to time limits and walkable from anywhere in the CBD. The library across the road is the easiest landmark.

Close by with the dogs

For off-lead time, the Webb Park fenced dog park on Palm Drive in West Gladstone is a short drive away, one of Gladstone Regional Council's designated off-leash exercise areas, and Cafe Spinnaker Park at the marina-side parklands pairs a waterfront walk with your next coffee stop. In the CBD itself, Lightbox Espresso and Wine Bar is another dog-friendly option nearby.
