Cooper's Speciality Coffee and Tap House

A waterfront cafe and tap house on The Esplanade at Manly, sitting right on the foreshore path with views across to Moreton Bay. It is a relaxed, street-level stop that suits a coffee mid-walk rather than a long sit-down, and it is well used to dogs.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the undercover outdoor seating along the front, with easy footpath access for a quick stop. Water bowls are often put out for visiting dogs. Inside is for people only, but the covered front area is the spot you want anyway for the view.

Good to know. It is known for its coffee, with a tap selection of craft beers as well, and a lively local crowd that builds on weekend mornings.

Getting there. It sits near the corner of The Esplanade and Cambridge Parade. Street parking runs along The Esplanade and the surrounding parades but gets busy on weekends, so the side streets are your fallback.

Nearby with the dogs. The cafe is on the Manly foreshore path itself, so a walk in either direction along the waterfront is the obvious pairing, with the boat harbour and its marina views a short stroll away.
