M&B Cafe & Smoothie Bar

M&B Cafe & Smoothie Bar is a cosy CBD cafe on George Street in central Launceston, with dogs welcome at the footpath tables out front. It is a handy pause mid-shop or mid-walk rather than a destination, and the smoothie menu does the rest.

The dog setup

Dogs settle at the outdoor footpath tables on George Street, which is the practical spot since the interior is for diners only. The cafe gets busy through the morning, so keep the dog on a short lead tucked close to your table, and bring your own water bowl.

Pepsi: a footpath table on a main street means every dog in town walks past. Park your dog on the shop side of the chair, not the kerb side, and the passing dogs stop being an event.

Worth knowing

The menu leans healthy: acai bowls, smashed avo, porridge and sourdough, a wide smoothie list and matcha, on Toby's Estate coffee, with friendly staff getting steady mentions. It runs mornings to mid afternoon on weekdays with shorter weekend hours, so it is a breakfast-and-lunch stop rather than an afternoon one.

Getting there

The address is 59 George Street, an easy walk from anywhere in the central city. Metered street parking runs along George Street with city car parks as the fallback if you are driving in. Aim for mid morning on a weekday if you want a footpath table with room beside it for the dog.

Pair it with

Prince's Square is a few minutes south for an on-lead green pause, and City Park is a longer stroll the other way. If you are working through the city's coffee options, Koffee Corner and Valley Coffee are also in the directory.
