Muzz Buzz - Joondalup

Muzz Buzz Joondalup is a drive-through coffee outlet within the Lakeside Joondalup precinct at 420 Joondalup Drive, and it is a genuinely handy dog stop rather than a sit-down cafe. The point of difference is simple: the crew hands out dog treats to four-legged co-pilots, which turns a coffee run into the best part of the drive for a certain kind of passenger.

The dog setup

This is drive-through with walk-up access and only limited outdoor seating. Dogs riding in the car get the full service, and well-behaved dogs on foot are welcomed at the window and the small paved area outside, though the service booth itself is people-only. It is built for a quick stop, so treat it as a reward station on a walk or a drive rather than a destination, and bring your own water.

Worth knowing

Fast service is the whole idea: house-roasted coffee, iced drinks, milkshakes, toasties and muffins, served from 5:30am on weekdays, 6:30am Saturdays and 7am Sundays, through until late afternoon on weekends. The complimentary dog biscuit is what the regulars remember, and the crew's willingness to make a fuss of dogs in the passenger seat is consistent enough to plan around.

Getting there and parking

The outlet sits in the Lakeside Joondalup precinct on Joondalup Drive, easy to reach from the freeway side and walkable from the Joondalup CBD, with the shopping centre's parking and the drive-through lane handling the traffic.

Close by with the dogs

The wide Joondalup CBD footpaths are good for a leashed loop, and Elcar Park Fenced Dog Park is a short trip away for off-lead time. Yaberoo Budjara Heritage Trail suits a longer walk that ends with a treat at the window.

More options are on the Western Australia dog friendly cafes guide and the Joondalup destination page.
