Fresh Point Co. Parap

Fresh Point Co. sits inside the Parap Village Shops and has a reputation as one of the more dog-welcoming brunch spots in the strip.

Dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor, undercover seating, which gives good shade for warmer days. Staff will bring out a water bowl for dogs on request. Keep dogs leashed and settled in the outdoor area so the space stays comfortable for other diners.

Known for. Brunch dishes like potato hash and barbacoa sandwiches, plus a solid run of gluten-free options on the menu.

Getting there and parking. The cafe is at 152/12 Salonika St, inside the Parap Village Shops. There is ample free parking in the main Parap Village car park, a short flat walk to the cafe entrance.

Nearby with the dogs. The Parap Village Shops precinct is an easy wander after breakfast, especially during the Saturday markets, though check market rules on leashing. Fannie Bay Foreshore is a few minutes' drive for a scenic walk near the water, and Bagot Park offers open green space a short drive away.

Weekday mornings are the calmest time to visit. On Saturdays the market crowd fills the village quickly, so arrive early if you want an outdoor table with your dog.
