Striker Coffee Co

Striker Coffee Co operates inside the Old Petrie Town heritage precinct on Dayboro Road, and it is a veteran-owned local favourite built around its signature wood-fire roasted organic coffee, a smooth, low-bitterness roast that regulars drink black and buy by the bag. The kitchen covers loaded bagels, eggs benedict, big breakfasts, and a solid run of vegetarian and vegan plates, and it pours from 6am to 2pm every day of the week.

The dog setup

The outdoor seating is the dog zone, and reviewers regularly call out the warm, dog-friendly treatment from staff, with water bowls and the occasional treat on hand. Keep leads on and dogs tucked near the table, because the precinct draws weekend foot traffic around the village grounds. The practical circuit is simple: free on-site parking in the complex makes arriving with a dog straightforward, and an outdoor table before 8am on weekends gives you the most room.

The vibe

Relaxed and community-minded, set among the heritage buildings of Old Petrie Town, which gives it more atmosphere than your average suburban brunch stop. Beyond the coffee, the drinks list runs to specialty teas, smoothies, and frappes, and the raspberry pistachio croissant and cob loaf have their fans. It reads as a proper sit-down brunch venue rather than a takeaway window, with enough pace that a solo coffee still works.

Getting there and parking

The address is 11B Dayboro Road, Petrie, within the Old Petrie Town grounds. Free on-site parking covers the complex with free street parking nearby. The heritage grounds themselves are pleasant for an on-lead wander before or after eating, and the fenced dog parks at Sweeney Reserve and Mungarra Reserve are both a short drive for a proper off-lead session.

Close by with the dogs

Run the dog first at Sweeney Reserve Fenced Dog Park, then claim a table. Other local stops include MotMot Coffee & Eats and Wheelhouse Coffee in Lawnton, and the Petrie guide with dog friendly cafes in QLD covers the wider north.

Between the wood-roasted coffee, the bagel menu, and a precinct you can wander on-lead, Striker Coffee Co is an easy morning out with the dog. Early weekend tables are the ones with breathing room.
