Juice Box Cafe

Juice Box Cafe is a casual health-food spot in the small shopping strip on Anzac Parade in Malabar, a couple of minutes' walk from Malabar Beach. It's popular with locals for smoothies and acai bowls, and dogs are welcome to join you out front.

Dog setup: Dogs sit with you at the footpath tables out front, on-leash and clear of the ordering counter. Staff are known to be friendly to dogs and a water bowl is often put out, but it's worth asking on arrival in case that varies day to day.

Known for: Nutrient-dense smoothies and loaded teas, acai bowls, all-day brunch wraps and burgers, and a solid range of raw treats and cakes.

Getting there: The cafe is at Unit 1/1215 Anzac Parade, Malabar. Street parking runs along Anzac Parade and there's a small village car park nearby, though both fill up on weekends. Bus routes along Anzac Parade also stop close by.

Nearby with the dogs: Malabar Beach and Malabar Headland walking paths are a short stroll down Franklin Street, and Malabar Memorial Park is close to the beach for a leg-stretch before or after your coffee.

Good for a quick, healthy pit stop before or after a beach walk. Weekday mornings are calmer if you want a table without the wait.
