Pet policy
The Caloundra Cafe is a casual all day kitchen on the Bulcock Street strip, a short walk up from Bulcock Beach, and dogs are welcome at the undercover footpath tables out front. Freshly squeezed orange juice is a house signature alongside the coffee, and the room keeps a relaxed, friendly feel that suits a long unhurried brunch.
The Caloundra Cafe is a casual all day kitchen on the Bulcock Street strip, a short walk up from Bulcock Beach, and dogs are welcome at the undercover footpath tables out front. It opens from 7am every day until the mid afternoon, which makes it an easy first stop before a walk along the Caloundra coast.
The dog setup
Dogs join you in the undercover outdoor seating on the Bulcock Street footpath, not the indoor dining room, in line with standard food safety rules. Keep your dog leashed and close to the table so pedestrians and staff have a clear path. The staff are friendly toward four legged visitors, and while water is usually available, a collapsible travel bowl takes the guesswork out of a warm morning.
The vibe
The kitchen cooks to order rather than reheating, and the menu leans generous: eggs benedict, salmon omelette, avo on toast, big burgers and a steak sandwich for the hungrier table, with pancakes for the kids. Freshly squeezed orange juice is a house signature alongside the coffee, and the room keeps a relaxed, friendly feel that suits a long unhurried brunch.
Getting there and parking
The cafe is at 5/86 Bulcock Street, Caloundra, on the main strip. Street parking runs along Bulcock Street and fills up on weekends, particularly on Sunday market days when the street itself gets busy, so the public car parks near the Caloundra Library and at the bottom end of the strip are the safer bet.
Close by with the dogs
Downhill from the strip, Bulcock Beach gives you a calm water foreshore walk on lead, and the coastal pathway carries on around to Kings Beach. For an off leash run, the Coochin Park dog off leash area at Dicky Beach is a short drive north. More dog friendly coffee is close by too: Salti Reads on the Esplanade and The Frog's Kitchen both welcome dogs at outdoor tables.
Pepsi: Undercover footpath table, full strip of humans to watch, pancakes on order. Caloundra mornings are the good life.
