Terry's Bagel Truck

Terry's Bagel Truck is a New York-style bagel operation in the Osborne Park industrial pocket, and the grab-and-go setup makes it one of the easiest Perth stops with a dog in tow: there is no indoor room to worry about, and the weekend queues are proof the bagels are worth it.

The dog setup

Dogs stay with you on the paved area around the truck, on a lead. Seating is minimal, mostly stand-and-eat or a small bench, so this suits a quick visit rather than a long sit. Bring your own water bowl, because the truck is geared to service rather than a full cafe setup, and the surrounding bays are bare on a hot morning.

Worth knowing

The bagels are the point: properly boiled and baked for a chewy texture and loaded with generous cream cheese, with the BLT and smoked salmon versions drawing the praise, and sausage rolls, brekky rolls and a dirty chai rounding it out. Doors open at 6am on weekdays and the trade wraps early afternoon, with a shorter Saturday window and the truck shut on Sundays; go early to skip the longest queues.

Getting there and parking

The truck works out of the Osborne Park industrial strip, off Hasler Road near Herdsman Lake, though industrial outfits can shift and the exact daily spot is worth checking on their Instagram before you drive over. Parking is the easy part: ample street and bay parking nearby means you can pull up and walk over with the dog.

Close by with the dogs

The surrounding streets are quiet enough for a short leashed stretch, and the Waggle Tails run is the local off-lead option. For a proper walk, Herdsman Lake Regional Park is minutes away with leashed dual-use paths looping the lake. For a follow-up coffee, Fresh Cafe Osborne Park and The Coffee Cabinet are the same-suburb options.

The Western Australia dog friendly cafes guide and the Osborne Park destination page cover the wider area.

Max: grab the BLT and keep walking, because the bench seats two and the queue behind you is thirty. Water for the dog comes from your bag, not theirs.
