The Fort Specialty Coffee

The Fort Specialty Coffee sits at 6 Endeavour Boulevard, North Lakes, a relaxed coffee-led spot that often runs live music. It is well established with locals and welcomes well-behaved dogs out front.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, semi-shaded seating, with room to tie off a lead and settle a dog beside the table. Staff are known to be good with dogs, sometimes producing a water bowl and the odd treat. Confirm water when you order and carry your own bowl in summer, as the shade is partial.

Good to know. Specialty coffee is the core, with a casual, friendly atmosphere and live music a regular feature. A good selection of locally sourced drinks rounds it out.

Getting there. On-site off-street parking off Endeavour Boulevard, central to North Lakes and easy to reach from the surrounding streets.

Nearby with the dogs. It is a short walk from the North Lakes path network and close to Lake Eden for a pre- or post-coffee leashed loop, with Westfield close by if you want the busier end of the suburb.

Quieter outside the live-music sessions, so check ahead if your dog is noise-sensitive. Good for a coffee and a sit in the open with a calm dog.
