Bloom Espresso

Bloom Espresso is a suburban coffee spot on Charters Towers Road that has become a genuine destination for local dog owners, with a covered outdoor seating area built for exactly this.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and covered seating out front - not indoors. Leads on at all times and dogs should settle quietly given the space is shared with other diners. The café serves Pupperchinos, so bring a lead your dog won't mind slobbering on.

Good to know. The coffee is Bear Bones Coffee, and the toast and chai tea come up often in reviews alongside the friendly staff. It has a loyal local following, which means the outdoor tables fill up fast on weekend mornings.

Getting there and parking. The café is at 2/323 Charters Towers Rd, Pimlico. Parking is on-street along Charters Towers Road and the surrounding residential streets - arrive early on weekends if you want a table.

Weekday mornings are the calm option if your dog is not a fan of crowds. Weekends get busy fast, so turn up early or expect to wait for an outdoor table.
