Mintie's Coffee & Bar

Mintie's is a retro hole-in-the-wall espresso bar on Ruthven Street in the Toowoomba CBD, pouring St. Ali coffee with a Melbourne back-alley feel. Dogs join you at the outdoor seating, and pup cups are part of the deal.

The dog setup. Dogs are welcome in the designated outdoor seating area. The venue itself is small and intimate, so dogs stay outside, where there is room to lounge comfortably. Staff are known to offer pup cups, so a treat is easy to arrange; bring a bowl for water.

Good to know. It is one of the few Toowoomba stockists of premium St. Ali beans, and is known for gourmet toasties and jaffles, fresh juices and sweet treats. The vibe is casual and artistic.

Getting there and parking. The address is 2/630 Ruthven Street. There is on-site parking, with street parking on nearby streets as the fallback.

Nearby with the dogs. Queens Park is a short drive for an on-leash walk in open parkland, and the central Ruthven Street setting is easy strolling.

When to go. Weekday mornings, closed Sunday. Arrive before the coffee rush for an outdoor seat, and order a pup cup while you are at it.
