Flick Food & Coffee Bar

Flick Food & Coffee Bar is a casual all-day cafe at 91 Campbell Street, central Oakey, popular with locals and travellers breaking up the drive along the Warrego Highway. Dogs are welcome at the footpath tables out front, which makes it a reliable working stop with a dog in the car.

The dog setup

Dogs are allowed at the outdoor footpath tables on lead; there is no indoor pet area, so plan on eating alfresco with your dog beside you. Staff have a reputation for being friendly to pets and will bring a water bowl on request, with reviews noting treats are sometimes handed out too; ask when you order. Bring your own bowl as a backup, since water is offered on request rather than set out permanently.

The menu

Barista coffee plus generous breakfasts and lunches: eggs and bacon in the morning, then burgers, steak sandwiches, handmade gourmet sandwiches and toasties, fish and chips, loaded fries and wedges, with rotating hot chicken or pasta specials. Portions run large and service is quick, which is what regulars keep coming back for.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits directly on Campbell Street in central Oakey, with free street parking usually available right out front. Hours are 8am to 4pm weekdays, 8am to 2pm Saturday and 8am to midday Sunday. Ring ahead on a busy morning if you want to be sure of an outdoor table.

Nearby with the dogs

Oakey's own parkland is a short walk for a leg stretch, and the fenced Kingsthorpe dog park is the closest dedicated off-leash run, back towards Toowoomba. If you are driving on to the city, Ground Up Cafe and Urban Grounds are dog-friendly coffee stops for the next leg.
