2 Pugs Coffee & Kitchen

2 Pugs Coffee & Kitchen is a neighbourhood cafe in the Meadow Springs Shopping Centre, named after the owners' own pugs, and the dog welcome is genuine rather than token: the cafe's own posts state plainly that they are dog friendly. It is a coffee-and-brunch stop with alfresco tables, close to the northern Mandurah suburbs.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor alfresco area, on a lead and well behaved; as a shopping centre tenancy there is no indoor dog access. Water bowls are usually out, the team has served puppacinos and dog treats, and the cafe has hosted dog-friendly brunch events with local rescue groups in the past. The alfresco space is compact, so weekends fill fast; weekday mornings are the easy slot.

The food

The kitchen covers breakfast and lunch with brunch plates known for generous portions: chilli scrambled eggs and hash browns get regular mentions, gluten-free options are a real part of the menu, and banana bread plus a rotating cake case cover the sweet side. The coffee is a consistent draw, and the team is often singled out for being welcoming, which suits a first visit with a new dog.

Getting there and parking

The cafe is at Unit 12/25 Meadow Springs Drive, inside the shopping centre complex. Parking is free and ample in the centre carpark, and the alfresco tables are an easy level walk from the car with a dog.

Close by with the dogs

Meadow Springs Reserve off Oakmont Avenue is the local off-leash option under City of Mandurah rules, though it carries time restrictions, and elsewhere dogs stay on lead outside signposted dog exercise areas. For fenced play, Dudley Park's fenced dog park and the Kangaroo Paw Park in Greenfields are the nearest listings on PawScapes. DPM Cafe is the closest other cafe listing for a second stop.

More options are on the Meadow Springs destination page and the WA cafes index.
