22 Cribb St French Patisserie

22 Cribb St French Patisserie is a weekend only proposition on its Landsborough site, trading Saturday and Sunday from 8am to 2pm, and it behaves accordingly: trays of French pastries, fresh baked breads and cakes coming out in waves. The chocolate eclair, lemon meringue and almond croissant are the signatures reviewers name most, with the sausage roll standing in for anyone who wants savoury first.

The dog setup

No formal pet policy is published, but community posts report dogs at the outdoor seating, and the practice is to keep dogs outside rather than in the dining areas. The back deck is the spot reviewers mention for settling in, so a lead and a spot on the deck is the workable formula. Because the dog friendly status comes from community reports rather than a written policy, check in at the counter when you arrive and expect the usual outdoor only arrangement.

Weekend mornings are the busiest stretch, and popular items sell through the day, so an 8am arrival protects both your pastry choice and a deck seat. The second weekday site operates in Caloundra if you find yourself craving an eclair midweek, though the weekend trade is the one that has built the patisserie's name on the Coast.

While you're out there

Landsborough makes an easy dog day out. Pioneer Park Fenced Dog Park lets the dog off lead properly before croissants, and the Ewen Maddock Dam main track covers anyone after a longer walk. Didi's Coffee Haus is another dog friendly table nearby for the follow up weekend.

The address is 22 Cribb Street, Landsborough, close to the train station side of town, which makes it a practical stop on a drive up the hinterland. Sat and Sun 8am to 2pm, closed all week otherwise; plan the dog walk first and let the pastries be the finish line.
