Clay Cafe

Clay Cafe is a cosy specialty-coffee spot at 15/165 Moggill Rd, Taringa, pouring Toby's Estate coffee with a small indoor gallery for local artists. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating, and the coffee is what regulars come back for. Because it is a compact venue, it suits small-to-medium or well-settled dogs best.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the outdoor seating area and water bowls are put out. The main thing to know is that the space is small, and one visitor noted it can get crowded when several dogs are in at once, so a calm dog that tucks in beside you works far better than a big, bouncy one.

Good to know. The coffee is regularly rated among the best in Taringa, with a good brunch range including vegetarian and vegan options and dishes like avocado toast and pancakes. The little in-house gallery is a nice touch.

Getting there and parking. It is on the busy Moggill Rd, with free 3-hour parking available and a wheelchair-accessible entrance.

Nearby with the dogs. For a proper walk, Guyatt Park at St Lucia sits on the river a short drive away, and Mt Coot-tha Botanic Gardens up the hill offers longer on-lead routes. Jack Pesch Park in Indooroopilly is another nearby green option.

When to go. Open daily 7am to 2pm, so it is a breakfast-to-lunch venue. Quieter early on weekdays, which is the easier window with a dog given the size.
