Bangin Beans

Bangin Beans is a small, retro espresso bar at 131 Rainbow Street, a short walk back from the Sandgate waterfront. It is a relaxed, dog-friendly spot, and one of the few in the area open late on Friday and Saturday nights.

The dog setup. Seating is mostly outdoor, so it is easy to sit with a dog on the footpath. Staff are welcoming to dogs; bring your own bowl just in case, as a water bowl is not guaranteed. The space is small and intimate, which suits a calm, well-behaved dog.

Good to know. Known for strong coffee and long blacks, plus toasties and acai bowls. Open early daily, and until late on Friday and Saturday.

Getting there. On Rainbow Street, walking distance from the foreshore at Flinders Parade, with free street parking on Rainbow Street and the side streets.

Nearby with the dogs. The Sandgate foreshore walking path is a short walk away, and there is green space at Sandgate Memorial Park nearby for a wander before or after coffee.
