Laneway Coffee, Darwin

Laneway Coffee tucks into a back-alley business court in Parap and has built a name as one of Darwin's most dog-welcoming coffee stops.

Dog setup. Dogs settle in the outdoor, undercover seating area, which keeps them out of the sun in Darwin's heat. Water bowls are put out for visiting dogs, and the cafe runs an actual doggy menu with puppycinos, biscuits and doggy donuts. Keep dogs leashed and within the outdoor seating boundary.

Known for. Specialty coffee and a strong brunch menu, alongside the doggy treat menu that has made it a regular stop for local dog owners.

Getting there and parking. The cafe is at 4/1 Caryota Ct, Parap, in the laneway business area off the Cavenagh/Caryota Court precinct. Street parking is available along Parap Road and in the nearby business car parks.

Nearby with the dogs. Parap Markets run Saturday mornings a short walk away. Parap Pool and the wider Parap community area are close by, and East Point Reserve is a short drive for a longer walk. Check local council signage there for current leash rules.

Go early on weekdays for the quietest tables. The Saturday market crowd spills over into breakfast hours, so book ahead or expect a short wait.
