Zarraffa's Coffee Reedy Creek

Zarraffa's Coffee Reedy Creek is a drive-through and sit-down coffee stop in Reedy Creek Plaza on Old Coach Road, useful for a quick caffeine hit before or after a run at the fenced dog park nearby.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor tables on the small patio area, on leash. The indoor seating is not available for pets, as is standard for a food service counter, but the outdoor area is easy to reach straight from the car park. Water bowls aren't guaranteed to be out, so bring your own.

Known for. It's a plaza drive-through first, sit-down second, popular for a fast coffee while running errands, with the usual Zarraffa's menu of coffee, tea, cold drinks, cakes and sandwiches.

Getting there. It's in Reedy Creek Plaza Shopping Centre on Old Coach Road, with plenty of parking right at the plaza and flat, easy access to the outdoor tables.

Nearby with the dogs. Reedy Creek Fenced Dog Park at Tourmaline Reserve on Barden Ridge Road is a short drive away, with a proper off-leash fenced area worth pairing with a coffee stop. Izakaya Midori, in the same plaza, also allows dogs on its outdoor seating.

When to go. Weekday mornings before the school run are quietest at the outdoor tables. Confirm opening hours before an early or late visit, as drive-through hours can shift outside standard trading times.
