Mayo sandwich bar

Mayo is a European-style sandwich bar on Ann Street in the Toowoomba CBD, from the team behind the former UVA wine bar. It bills itself as dog-friendly, pastry-friendly and caffeine-dependent, and the outdoor seating is where the dog fits in.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome at the outdoor seating out front. It is a casual, bustling weekday spot, so a settled dog tucked beside you at an outdoor table works best. Bring a bowl; the patio is the place for dogs rather than indoors.

Good to know. It is known for gourmet focaccia and sourdough sandwiches on bread from Sonoma, with combinations like chicken schnitzel, prosciutto, mozzarella, pesto and hot honey, plus quality coffee. The feel is a slice of European cafe culture.

Getting there and parking. The address is 6 Ann Street. Street parking is available on Ann Street and nearby, though it gets busy through the weekday lunch window.

Nearby with the dogs. Queens Park and Laurel Bank Park are a short drive for an on-leash walk, and the CBD around Margaret Street is easy strolling.

When to go. Mainly a weekday breakfast and lunch operation. Arrive either side of the midday rush for the calmest outdoor table with the dog.
