Reid Wright & Co

Reid Wright & Co is a small, independently run coffee spot in the Moolanda Village shops in Kingsley, the kind of local where the staff know the regulars by name and order, four-legged ones included. Early hours, a quiet courtyard and proper coffee make it a natural stop on a morning walk through the suburb.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating on Moolanda Boulevard, with flat footpath access straight from the car park so there are no steps or gaps to navigate. Staff have a reputation for being warm with dogs, and the cafe supports a local dog rescue group, which tells you where its priorities sit. Standard cafe manners apply: lead on, dog settled and comfortable with foot traffic passing close by.

Worth knowing

The coffee is well regarded locally and the cabinet food rotates through homemade brunch items, with baby cinos on the board for the two-legged junior regulars. Hours run 6am to midday on weekdays and 7am to midday weekends, so it is a morning venue rather than an afternoon one. There is no kitchen menu to linger over; you come for the coffee and the easy company.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits at 5/127 Moolanda Boulevard in the Moolanda Village complex near the corner of Kingsley Drive. Free parking sits right at the door, which keeps the arrival simple when a dog is involved.

Close by with the dogs

Lakeview Cafe is the other Kingsley coffee option for a different day of the week. For a proper stretch of the legs, Hillarys Dog Beach is a short drive west, and Alleycats Espresso sits nearby for the return trip. The Kingsley Tavern covers the pub lunch end of the suburb.

More options are on the WA dog friendly cafes guide and the Kingsley destination page.

Pepsi: this is a morning venue, closed by midday. Get there before 10am and the courtyard is calm; after that you are racing the takeaway queue.
