Pi & Pine Cafe

Pi & Pine Cafe is a modern brunch spot in the Helensvale Homeworld precinct on Sir John Overall Drive, and the reason to bring the dog is its proper dog menu: not just a biscuit, but cooked options served in the undercover alfresco area.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, undercover alfresco seating, which keeps you shaded and gives the dog room to settle. There is a dedicated Furry Friends menu, roughly $5 to $8, with options like goat milk, cooked jerky giblets and a scrambled-egg breakfast. Water is easy to ask for, but pack a bowl to be safe.

Good to know. It is known for specialty drinks (peanut cream coffee, matcha, a coconut series) and its cold butter pine-buns, alongside a full brunch menu. Hours are typically 7am to 3pm daily.

Getting there. The cafe sits in the Helensvale Homeworld complex, with ample parking in the surrounding centre and easy access from the M1 (exit 57), so a spot close to the door is usually simple to find.

Nearby with the dogs. The Homeworld complex has flat, paved paths for a short stroll, and there are off-leash areas around Helensvale if your dog needs a run before or after food.

Quieter early; brunch crowds build mid-morning. Good for social dogs happy in a busy precinct.
