Coco Cantina & Co

Coco Cantina & Co is a beach-style juice and acai kiosk in the Peregian Springs Shopping Centre, right outside Coles, and dogs are a regular part of the scene in its outdoor seating.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the al fresco seating attached to the kiosk, but stay outside the ordering counter as it's a food service window rather than a sit-down cafe. Staff are known for making a fuss of local dogs. There's no confirmed dedicated water bowl, so bring your own just in case, especially on a hot Sunshine Coast morning.

Known for. Acai bowls, cold-pressed juices, superfood smoothies and Campos coffee, with solid gluten-free, vegan and vegetarian options.

Getting there. It's inside the Peregian Springs Shopping Centre on Ridgeview Drive, with ample free parking right out front and easy wheelchair access.

When to go. Early opening (from 5:30am weekdays, 6am weekends) makes it an easy pre-walk coffee stop before the day heats up. Confirm current dog rules at the counter if you're visiting for the first time, as outdoor seating policies at shopping centre kiosks can vary by season.
