What visitors mention
The Letter Q is a well-regarded neighbourhood cafe on Joslin Street in Kotara, popular with locals for its seasonal brunch menu and quality coffee. It is officially listed as pet friendly, with dogs welcome in the outdoor footpath seating.
Dog access. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area at the front, but not inside. The setup is casual and rustic rather than fussy, which suits a dog settling at your feet. Bring your own water bowl, as on-site provision for pets is not confirmed.
Known for. Grazing boxes, bacon and egg rolls, pastries and wraps all get regular mentions, alongside a rotating selection of small-batch treats and strong online ordering for quick pickup.
Getting there and parking. The cafe is at 47 Joslin Street, Kotara. Street parking is available but tightens up during weekend brunch hours, so an early arrival helps.
Nearby with the dogs. A few quiet residential streets around the cafe suit a short pre-coffee walk, and Blackbutt Reserve is a short drive away for a longer bushwalk (check the leash rules for the specific area you're heading to). Westfield Kotara's outdoor precinct is also close by if you need a longer stop afterwards.

Weekday mornings are the easiest time to grab an outdoor table with your dog; weekends fill fast once brunch service kicks in.
