nowness espresso bar

The setup. nowness is a small espresso bar on Anzac Parade near Sturt Street, built around coffee and fresh baking. Dogs are welcome at the footpath seating out front. Inside is tight and human-only, so the pavement tables are the spot to sit with your dog.

Early opener. It runs from 5am on weekdays and Saturdays and is closed Sundays, which makes it a genuine first-light option for a coffee at the start of a morning walk. Bring your own water bowl, as the outdoor setup is geared to quick stops rather than long sits.

What it is known for. Baked-fresh goods, flaky croissants, brownies and the caramel slice, plus a friendly neighbourhood feel. Good coffee and quick service are the draw.

Getting there. Street parking is on Anzac Parade and side streets like Sturt Street, so check the signage for time limits. Buses run straight along Anzac Parade for anyone arriving on foot.

Nearby. Muraborah Reserve off-leash park and Arthur Byrne Reserve near the beach are both within easy reach for a proper run once you have finished your coffee.
