The Coffee Club Café - Meadowbrook

The Coffee Club Cafe at Meadowbrook is the familiar chain outpost at Shop 1/6 Logandowns Drive, in the shopping complex near Logan Hospital, and it is a reliable, no-fuss stop for coffee and a cooked breakfast with a dog at an outside table. It sits at the low-key end of the dog-friendly spectrum: not a dedicated dog cafe, but an easy, predictable outdoor-table stop.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the covered outdoor seating, as is standard for The Coffee Club's outdoor areas, and not inside. Keep your dog leashed and settled beside or under the table. Staff here have a habit of accommodating visiting dogs and are happy to bring out water on request, which local patrons have noted repeatedly, though it is worth confirming on the day as practice varies by location.

The food

The menu is the usual Coffee Club lineup: big cooked breakfasts with eggs benedict and hash browns, toasted sandwiches, croissants, burgers with a proper beef patty, thickshakes and cappuccinos. Portions are generous and service is quick, which suits a post-walk feed. Hours are 6:30am to 3:30pm weekdays and 7am to 3pm on weekends.

Getting there and parking

Free dedicated parking sits directly in front of the Logandowns Drive shopping complex, so the car-to-table walk with a dog is short and fully paved. It is an easy stop if you are already in Meadowbrook near the hospital or Loganlea Road, on Logan's eastern corridor between the Pacific Motorway and the Logan River.

Nearby with the dogs

For a real off-leash run either side of breakfast, the Riverdale Park Fenced Dog Park on Evans Road is a short drive away, a modern double-gated facility beside the Logan River with separate large and small dog enclosures, agility equipment and a water tap. For an on-lead bushwalk, the Daisy Hill trails are just south.
