Non Stop Coffee

Non Stop Coffee is a drive-through and walk-up coffee stop at 5/320-322 Ruthven Street in the Toowoomba CBD, built for speed rather than a long sit-down. Dogs are welcome at the compact outdoor seating, which suits a quick stop on the way to or from a walk.

The dog setup

Dogs join you at the small outdoor seating area, and the drive-through means you can collect coffee without unloading a settled car dog. The space is tight and sits on a busy street, so it best suits a dog that copes with passing traffic. Water bowls are not guaranteed with the drive-through setup, so bring a portable bowl.

Worth knowing

It is known for quick service and quality coffee, with breakfast snacks, sandwiches and treats at the counter, and the cheese croissant gets a run among regulars. It opens early, 5am on weekdays and from 6am on weekends, which is handy after a dawn walk, but it closes by early afternoon, so it is strictly a morning-and-lunch stop.

Getting there and parking

The shop sits on Ruthven Street in the city grid, with free street parking on the nearby side streets. Kerbside access is the whole point here: pull up, grab the order, and keep the dog in the car if the footpath tables are full.

Pair it with

Queens Park is a short drive or a moderate walk for a proper on-lead stretch. For a sit-down option, Park House Café takes dogs on its outdoor seating, and Ground Up Cafe is another dog-welcoming brunch stop in the CBD.

Early is the calm window, before the Ruthven Street traffic builds. More options are in the Queensland cafes guide and the Toowoomba City destination page.
