Amazon Berry Acai

Amazon Berry is a small self-serve acai bar on Anzac Parade in Maroubra, and it is a grab-and-go spot rather than a sit-down cafe. Dogs are welcome alongside you at the limited casual outdoor seating on the footpath, which makes it a quick treat stop on a warm afternoon rather than a place to linger with a dog.

The dog setup

There is no dedicated dog area; you order at the counter and settle at the few footpath spots out front, dog on lead. The strip is busy, with steady pedestrian and traffic movement, so your dog needs to be comfortable in the thick of it. Bring a portable water bowl, since the high-turnover setup does not reliably keep one out.

Worth knowing

The format is pay-by-weight acai bowls with unlimited toppings, built on creamy Brazilian acai, plus blends of acai and cupuacu. It is a fresh, healthy option that suits the post-walk window, and the staff get regular mentions for being friendly. Hours run from 11am daily, later close Thursday through Saturday, so this is an afternoon treat rather than a breakfast stop.

Getting there and parking

The bar sits on Anzac Parade, Maroubra's main strip. Street parking runs along the parade, with longer-stay parking at nearby Pacific Square. Buses along Anzac Parade make it easy without a car.

Close by with the dogs

Dogs are banned from the sand at Maroubra Beach itself, so keep that walk on lead. For off-lead time, Coogee Dog Park and Firmstone Reserve Fenced Dog Park at Pagewood are both close by. If you want a proper sit-down with the dog, Ek'sentrik Cafe Maroubra and Chalk Espresso Bar are both local dog-friendly cafes.

More options are on the NSW dog friendly cafes guide and the Maroubra destination page.

Max: this is a takeaway window, not a destination. Grab the bowl, walk the dog down to the reserve, and eat it in the sun.
