What visitors mention
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.

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.
