Botanical Style

Botanical Style is a plant-filled cafe and gift shop on Charters Towers Road in Hermit Park, Townsville, where dogs on lead are welcome to settle in with you over coffee.

Dog setup. The shop itself is packed with indoor plants and homewares, so dogs stick to the outdoor and covered entryway seating rather than wandering the retail floor. Well-behaved dogs on leads are welcome there. It sits on a busy road, so bring your own water bowl rather than counting on one being out.

Good to know. Botanical Style is known locally as a plant-and-coffee cafe first, gift shop second, with a changing range of pots, indoor plants and boutique homewares alongside the coffee menu. Open Monday to Friday 8am to 3pm and Saturday 9am to 2pm.

Getting there and parking. It's at 120A Charters Towers Road, Hermit Park. On-street parking is available along Charters Towers Road and side streets such as O'Mara Street, though weekday mornings get busy and time limits apply.

Nearby with the dogs. Anderson Park Botanical Gardens has wide, paved and gravel paths a short drive away, and Queens Park in North Ward is a good on-lead option if you're happy to go a little further.

Weekday mornings are the pinch point for parking and footpath traffic; a Saturday visit before the 2pm close is the easier run.
