Quade

Quade is a small local coffee shop on the Gold Coast Highway at Miami, the kind of early-opening spot the neighbourhood runs on. Dogs are welcome at the handful of footpath tables out front, which suits a quick coffee stop rather than a long sit.

The dog setup. Dogs are generally welcome at the outdoor footpath tables on the highway side. Water bowls often turn up, but the footprint is small, so bring your own bowl and keep a calm dog on a short lead. It suits smaller or settled dogs who are comfortable with passing traffic.

Good to know. It opens early on weekdays and is rated for reliable local coffee, friendly service and fresh, wholesome food including toasties and homemade-style muffins.

Getting there. It sits on the Gold Coast Highway. Look for side-street parking on Dawn Parade or behind the shops rather than fighting for a highway spot.

Nearby with the dog. Miami Beach is a five to ten minute walk away, with an off-leash stretch north of the Miami Surf Club. A short walk south leads towards the Nobby Beach parklands.

Go early on a weekday for the quietest tables. Good for small or calm dogs happy street-side over a short coffee.
