Cafe 445 is a relaxed roadside cafe on the Princes Highway in Officer, beside the Shell service station, open weekday mornings into the early afternoon. The reason to bring the dog: an outdoor seating area that genuinely caters to dogs, with free dog treats on hand and easy off-highway parking.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area, not inside. Free dog treats are kept for visiting dogs, and the staff are known to make a fuss of them. Keep your dog on a short lead given how close the highway runs.

The traffic is right there, so clip the lead on before you open the car door and keep your dog tucked in at the table, not out near the kerb.

Good to know. It runs as a dependable stop for solid classic cafe food and reliable coffee, popular with tradies, commuters and locals passing through.

Getting there. It sits at Unit 20/445 Princes Highway, with on-site parking right off the highway next to the Shell station, so a quick stop with the dog is simple. Open Monday to Friday, closed weekends.

Nearby with the dogs. Pair it with a run at Onyx Crescent Fenced Dog Park, a fully fenced off-leash space a short drive away in Officer.

When to go. Quietest mid-morning between the breakfast and lunch rushes. Good for a quick, easy stop on a road trip or weekday walk.
