First Things First Coffee

First Things First Coffee is a busy local roastery cafe on North East Road in Holden Hill, known for quick service and locally roasted beans. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor garden seating area out front.

The dog setup. The outdoor area is a small, tidy garden space at the front of the shop, on lead. Staff are known to be friendly toward dogs and will often bring out water or a treat, though it's worth bringing your own bowl if you're visiting at a busy time.

Good to know. The toasties get a lot of love here, along with the coffee itself. It's more of a fast in-and-out spot than a linger-over-brunch cafe, which suits a dog walk stop well.

Getting there. The cafe is at 606 North East Road, Holden Hill, on a main arterial road, with free street parking usually available close by.

Nearby with the dogs. Bentley Reserve's fenced dog park is a short drive away in Holden Hill if you want to let your dog off lead before or after coffee.

A handy stop on the way through rather than a destination. Weekday mornings tend to be quieter than the weekend rush.
