The Caloundra Cafe

The Caloundra Cafe is a casual all-day spot at 86 Bulcock Street, on the main strip in the heart of town. Dogs are welcome at the undercover footpath tables out front, which makes it a handy brunch stop a short walk uphill from Bulcock Beach.

The dog setup. Dogs join you at the outdoor, undercover seating on the Bulcock Street footpath, not inside. The tables sit on the pavement with room for a dog to lie down beside you, so it suits a dog that is settled around passing foot traffic. Water bowls are often around, but bring your own portable one to be sure.

Good to know. The kitchen makes everything to order rather than reheating, with the loaded smashed avo a standout and the coffee well regarded. It is a relaxed, friendly room, good for a morning coffee or brunch on the main street.

Getting there. The address is 86 Bulcock Street. Street parking runs along Bulcock Street but gets busy on weekends and during the Sunday markets. There are public car parks nearby, toward the end of the main street and near the Caloundra Library, within a short walk.

Nearby with the dogs. Bulcock Beach is a short walk downhill for a calm-water foreshore stroll on lead, and the Caloundra coastal pathway runs from the town centre along the coast. On Sundays the dog-friendly Caloundra markets set up right along Bulcock Street outside the cafe.

When to go. Weekday mornings are the calmest with a dog. Sundays bring the markets and a crowd, lively if that suits you, busier if you want a quiet footpath table.
