Baaia

Baaia is a casual waterfront cafe at 94 Flinders Parade, looking straight out over Moreton Bay, and one of the more popular dog-friendly stops on the Sandgate foreshore. The draw is simple: coffee with a bay view, directly across the road from a long waterfront walk.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor, undercover seating, which is the comfortable spot for them; some reviews mention dogs inside, but the covered deck is the reliable choice. Water bowls are provided, and they are known to do pup cups and house-made dog biscuits.

Good to know. Known for coffee, fresh juices and a varied menu with solid vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options. It gets busy on weekends, so it can be loud for a nervous dog.

Getting there. Street parking along Flinders Parade, easiest earlier in the morning before the weekend crowd. Wheelchair and pram accessible.

Nearby with the dogs. The Sandgate foreshore and its paved walking path are right across the road, and the off-leash beach at Sandgate Foreshore Park is a short walk along the water at low tide.
