Blue Door Kiosk Merewether

Blue Door Kiosk sits right on the Merewether Beach promenade, on the corner of Watkins Street and John Parade, which makes it an easy coffee stop mid-walk with the dog and a view of the water.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, covered seating area facing the ocean; indoor seating is for people only, as with any food premises. Keep the dog leashed at the table. Water bowls are usually available, but bring your own to be safe.

Good to know. It opens early, often from 6am, so it suits sunrise beach walkers. Reviewers rate the bacon and egg rolls, the locally roasted coffee, and the beachfront position highly.

Getting there. Corner of Watkins Street and John Parade. Street parking along John Parade is limited and fills fast on sunny mornings and weekends, so expect a short walk. It sits directly on the Bathers Way coastal path.

Nearby with the dogs. The Bathers Way walk runs right past the door, and the Merewether Dog Off-Leash Area is a short walk north. Check City of Newcastle signage for leash rules on the sand itself.

Come early for a quieter table and easier parking. Good for a coffee break partway along a beach walk.
