FunnyBone Coffee

FunnyBone Coffee sits beside Buckler Park on Emerald Drive in Helensvale, and the reason to bring the dog is the setting: an al fresco area that opens straight onto open grass and a modern playground, so it works for a coffee, a kids' run and a dog walk in one stop.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, with tables spaced for a dog to settle beside you. The cafe runs a dog menu, so your dog can order alongside you. Bring your own water bowl to be safe, or ask the staff.

Good to know. It is a relaxed, family-focused spot known for solid coffee and a breakfast and lunch menu, usually open from early morning to mid-afternoon. The adjacent park and playground make it an easy outing if you have kids and a dog in tow.

Getting there. The cafe is at 6 Emerald Drive, with street parking around Emerald Drive and Buckler Park. It is a quiet pocket, so parking is generally straightforward.

Nearby with the dogs. Buckler Park is right next door for a pre or post-coffee walk on the grass, and Helensvale has connected suburban paths into local reserves if you want to stretch the walk out.

Quieter on weekday mornings; weekends draw the playground crowd. Good for social dogs who are happy with kids and movement around them.
