Anna’s Cafe In Lara

Anna's Cafe is a cozy local spot on The Centreway in Lara's main shopping strip, and dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables out front. It is a solid pick for a coffee stop while you are working through the shops, not a destination in its own right.

The dog setup. Dogs sit with you at the footpath tables outside. Like any cafe kitchen, dogs are not permitted indoors, so claim an outside table if you have your dog with you. Keep them leashed and settled next to your chair, since the tables are close to foot traffic. Bring your own water bowl to be safe rather than assume the cafe has one on hand.

Known for. Regulars come back for the coffee, cooked breakfasts and generous cafe classics, with friendly, efficient service even when the strip gets busy.

Getting there. It is on The Centreway, Lara's main shopping strip, with free street parking out front and a larger free car park serving the shopping complex nearby.

Good for a quick coffee stop with the dog rather than a lingering brunch, especially if you are already walking the strip or heading to Lara Lake Reserve afterwards.
