Criminal Coffee Company

Criminal Coffee Company is a busy specialty cafe on Sixth Avenue, roasting on site and known for its coffee and gourmet toasties. It is strongly dog-friendly, with a large undercover outdoor area built for settling in with a dog beside you.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the undercover outdoor area behind the cafe, a roomy, casual space with plenty of room even for a group with dogs. Staff are known to be welcoming and water bowls are usually on hand, though it never hurts to bring your own.

Good to know. The coffee is roasted in-house with a focus on ethical sourcing, and the gourmet toasties are the menu standout. It is a high-energy spot that packs out on weekends, and trades early: roughly 6am to 2pm Monday to Saturday, and 6am to 12.30pm on Sunday.

Getting there. The address is Unit 6/110 Sixth Avenue. Free street parking runs along Sixth Avenue and the surrounding streets, with easy access off the main roads.

Nearby with the dogs. The beach is close for a pre or post-coffee walk, the Maroochy River foreshore paths are nearby, and Cotton Tree Park is a short walk or drive for open green space.

When to go. Beat the weekend crush by arriving early; the undercover seating also makes it a reliable rainy-day option when other footpath tables are out.
