Hadz Cafe

Hadz Cafe is a small, well-loved breakfast and coffee spot in the Peregian Beach village, and dogs are genuinely welcome at the outdoor tables. It is an easy stop after a beach walk, built on friendly staff and quick service rather than a big menu.

The dog setup

Dogs are welcomed at the al fresco tables out the front. The area is fairly intimate and sits close to other diners, so it suits a settled dog that will lie down beside your chair rather than one that needs room to roam. Staff are warm with visiting dogs, and regulars mention treats and the occasional puppuccino if you ask. The tables fill fast on weekends, so come early if you want room to tuck a dog in.

Worth knowing

The kitchen leans casual and reliable: quality coffee, fresh juices, toasties and jaffles, carrot cake, croissants and breakfast staples like smashed avocado. Hours run early, roughly 6am to 2pm on weekdays and wrapping up around midday on weekends, so this is a morning-first venue. Miss the window and you will be finding breakfast elsewhere.

Getting there and parking

The cafe sits centrally in the Peregian Beach village precinct on California Boulevard, with free street and car park spots close by. The beach is a short walk away, so most visits fold into a longer morning out with the dog: walk first, coffee second, or the other way around.

Make a day of it

If you want an off-lead leg-stretch before breakfast, Peregian Springs' fenced dog park is a few minutes inland, and the sand at Coolum Beach's off-leash section is a short drive north. For a second coffee, Solitude Coffee Roasters up the coast roasts its own. Weekday mornings are the quietest at the footpath tables.
