Blend Cafe

Blend Cafe sits on the Hampton Drive strip in Tannum Sands, a short run inland from the coast, and it is a genuine dog-friendly stop: bring the dog to the outdoor tables and settle in for coffee and an all-day breakfast.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the al fresco and footpath seating around the cafe, not indoors, which is standard for Queensland. Sit with your dog at the outside tables. Staff are known for being friendly towards dogs, and water bowls are often put out, though it is worth bringing a travel bowl in case.

Good to know. Reviewers rate the barista coffee and loaded shakes, along with all-day breakfast, toasties and light meals. The vibe is relaxed and casual.

Getting there and parking. The cafe is easy to reach by car and sits on the Hampton Drive commercial strip. On-street and nearby parking is available directly by the shops.

Nearby with the dogs. Second Beach, a short way north, has an off-leash sandy stretch. Canoe Point offers coastal walking tracks and parkland on-lead, and the Boyne River mouth is another easy nearby walk.

Best early, before the morning rush builds on weekends. A solid first stop before or after a beach walk.
