Bep cafe

A casual Vietnamese-inspired cafe on Ballina Road in Goonellabah, known for fresh banh mi and Vietnamese coffee, with a covered outdoor area where dogs are welcome.

The dog setup. Dogs are best kept to the outdoor, covered awning area rather than indoors, and staff are used to the local laid-back crowd bringing dogs along. Keep your dog leashed and clear of the walkway. Water isn't guaranteed to be set out, so bring your own bowl.

Good to know. Regulars rate it for outdoor seating, matcha, quick service and solid value, alongside its banh mi and Vietnamese coffee.

Getting there. It's on Ballina Road, Goonellabah, with parking available directly in front of or near the complex.

When to go. Early starts suit it best if you want to beat the queue, since wait times are a known talking point among regulars.
