Fresh Point Co. Parap

Fresh Point Co. sits inside the Parap Village Shops on Salonika Street and has built a name as one of the more dog-welcoming brunch spots in the strip. It is an easy, casual stop in a precinct that handles dogs well.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcome at the outdoor, undercover seating, which keeps them shaded through the heat of the day. Staff bring out a water bowl on request. Keep your dog leashed and settled under the table so the compact outdoor space stays comfortable for other diners. The cafe opens daily from 7am to 3pm.

The vibe

The kitchen leans into brunch: pancakes, chicken burgers and tacos, smoothies, and a solid run of gluten-free options. Portions come out generous, which is worth remembering if you are ordering for the table rather than yourself. Weekday mornings are the calm window; on Saturdays the Parap markets fill the village quickly, so arrive early if you want an outdoor table with a dog in tow.

Getting there

The cafe is at 152/12 Salonika Street, inside the Parap Village Shops. The main Parap Village car park offers free parking a short flat walk from the entrance, which makes the dog handover easy. The precinct itself is a pleasant wander after breakfast, with the Saturday market stalls adding more reason to linger once the morning rush eases.

Close by with the dogs

Two neighbouring Parap cafes make a bracket out of the village: Karma Cafe and Laneway Coffee both take dogs at outdoor tables. For a leg stretch, Bundilla Fenced Dog Park at Fannie Bay is a short drive away.
