Bean Smuggler

The short version. Bean Smuggler is a well-regarded brunch cafe on Sneydes Road in Point Cook, with an undercover courtyard that makes it a comfortable dog stop even when the weather is cool.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor undercover courtyard, which has standing heaters for the colder months, so you are not stuck picking between warmth and bringing the dog. Staff are friendly to pets; bring your own bowl for water.

Good to know. The reputation rests on the specialty coffee and a gourmet brunch menu, with clearly marked vegan and gluten-free options and consistently praised service.

Getting there. Find it at 225-229 Sneydes Road, Point Cook, in the commercial complex just off the Princes Freeway at the Sneydes Road exit. There is plenty of free parking directly outside.

Nearby. Point Cook Coastal Park is a short drive away for a longer walk and beach access - check the leash rules for the section you are in before letting the dog off.
