Cafe One 40 One

Cafe One 40 One is a small local cafe on Beaudesert Nerang Road, the kind of quick-stop coffee spot that opens early and knows its regulars. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating out the front, so it is an easy pull-in for a coffee on the way through.

The dog setup. Dogs sit with you in the outdoor area on the pavement section directly outside the entrance. Staff are friendly toward pets and will often sort out water from behind the counter, though a portable bowl is worth carrying.

Good to know. The draw here is the coffee, backed by savoury muffins, toasties and a decent run of gluten-free options. Hours are early: roughly weekdays from 5am, Saturday from 6am, closing early afternoon, and closed Sundays. Confirm before you rely on it.

Getting there. It sits at 1/141 Beaudesert Nerang Road, right on the main road, with free street parking usually close by.

Nearby with the dogs. A fenced dog park is a short drive away for a run, and the Nerang riverbank walking paths are only a few minutes on.

When to go. Early is the whole point here. Arrive in the first couple of hours for the quietest coffee and easiest parking. Better suited to a fast, friendly stop than a long lingering brunch.
