Jungle & Co

Jungle & Co is a gut-health cafe and juicery at Shop 3, 19-21 Sunshine Beach Road in Noosa Heads, dealing in cold-pressed juice, celery juice programs, bone broth and nutrient-dense salads. It is a relaxed, health-focused stop with dogs welcome in the covered outdoor seating, and a short detour from the Hastings Street strip.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome in the outdoor covered seating areas, which run along the shopfront. The indoor space is compact, so expect to sit outside with your dog under Queensland food rules. Water bowls are usually around, but bring your own to be safe, and there is no dedicated dog menu. The covered tables are handy on hot mornings when a fully exposed footpath would be too much.

The menu

Everything is built around gut health: prebiotic and probiotic bowls, salmon zoodles, turmeric tuna with saffron rice, a salad bar, and a smoothie list that reviewers rate. Clean treats rotate through the cabinet, gluten-free bread is available, and dairy-free milks cover the coffee. Hours sit around 8am to 3pm weekdays and roughly 9am to 2pm weekends, though they shift seasonally, so check the Instagram feed before you plan around them.

Getting there and parking

Sunshine Beach Road has street parking out front that gets tight in peak holiday periods. Free parking areas off Hastings Street and the surrounding side streets are a short walk away.

Close by with the dogs

The standout pairing is the Noosa Heads Doggy Beach on the Spit, an unfenced, 24-hour off-leash stretch where dogs swim in the calm river estuary. Elysium off leash dog park is the fenced alternative nearby, and for another stop with the dogs in the same suburb, MOTO and The Scoop @4567 both sit within coffee-walk distance.

Max: Acai bowl under the covered tables while the dog sprawled out next to me, then straight to the Spit for a swim. Noosa mornings done right.
