Central Block Coffee

Central Block Coffee is a small, coffee-first spot tucked behind the newsagent on Rockingham Beach Road - easy to miss, worth finding for the quality in the cup. It opens early and closes around lunch, so think of it as a pre-walk coffee rather than a sit-down meal.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating, and the space is relaxed enough to wait comfortably with a dog while a takeaway is made. Staff are friendly to dogs; bring a bowl as it is a compact venue.

Known for. Genuinely good coffee - cold drip and Diamantina Coffee Roasters beans - plus creative toasties. A quirky, intimate local rather than a big foreshore cafe.

Getting there and parking. 13a Rockingham Beach Rd, Rockingham. It sits behind the beachside shops with a free car park right there, so look behind the strip rather than on the beachfront.

Nearby with the dogs. A short stroll to the Rockingham foreshore and its paved coastal path, making this a natural start to a morning walk.

Best early - it closes around 1pm, so it is a morning stop, not an afternoon one.
