Grounded Society

Grounded Society is a busy local coffee shop on Toolooa Street in South Gladstone, and it is properly set up for dogs: water bowls out the front and puppacinos on the daily. If you want a barista coffee with the dog parked beside you, this is an easy call.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor and footpath seating right in front of the cafe. Indoor seating is service dogs only, which is standard for a food venue. Staff keep water bowls going and will do a puppacino, so you can leave the travel bowl in the car.

Good to know. The coffee is the draw here, along with signature drinks like the tiramisu iced latte and a rotating case of baked goods. It runs as a morning and daytime spot, so expect it busiest around the weekday coffee rush and weekend mornings.

Getting there. You will find it at 121 Toolooa Street, next door to the Australia Post office. Street parking is available along Toolooa Street and in the nearby bays; it is generally straightforward outside peak coffee times.

Nearby with the dogs. Toolooa Street works as a launch pad for a tree-lined suburban walk, and there are local parks a short drive away to burn off energy after your coffee.

Go on a weekday mid-morning if you want a quieter footpath table. Good for social dogs who are happy to settle beside a cafe chair.
