Love Camellia - Teahouse & Sourdough Bakery

Love Camellia is a teahouse and sourdough bakery on Bradman Avenue, set along the riverside strip opposite the Maroochy River. It is dog-friendly at its alfresco tables, and its position right by the Bradman Avenue off-leash areas makes it a natural coffee stop on a riverside dog walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco seating; the indoor bakery and food-prep areas are off-limits as usual. Water bowls are provided to keep dogs hydrated in the Queensland heat, and it is worth asking whether dog treats or puppyccinos are on that day.

Good to know. The bakery is built around slow-ferment organic sourdough, with standout gluten-free baking, artisan pastries and from-scratch ingredients, plus wholesome ready-made dinners like cottage pie. The focus is food-as-medicine and dietary-friendly options, so it suits anyone catering to sensitivities.

Getting there. The address is 319 Bradman Avenue. Street parking runs along Bradman Avenue directly opposite the river, and the riverside strip makes it an easy walking destination.

Nearby with the dogs. This is prime dog-walking territory. The Unfenced Dog Leash Free Park is just down the road at 361 Bradman Avenue, the foreshore pathways are fine for on-leash strolls, and there is an all-times off-leash stretch further along Bradman Avenue, beginning around the Fishermans Road intersection and running about 500 metres toward the river mouth. Check current council signage, as Sunshine Coast dog rules changed from 3 July 2026.

When to go. Pair an early or late visit with the nearby off-leash hours along Bradman Avenue, when it is cooler for both the walk and the riverside seating.
