Blitz Nutrition

Blitz Nutrition is a health-focused smoothie and acai stop in central Torquay, popular with the surf-coast fitness crowd. The interior is small and takeaway-led, so dogs are a footpath affair: the front benches are where a settled dog fits while you grab bowls and smoothies.

The dog setup

Dogs stay at the front footpath seating rather than inside, which suits the compact, order-at-the-counter format. The venue is dog-aware and dogs feature regularly on its social feed, but bring your own water bowl rather than counting on one being out, and give staff the nod if you are settling in for a while.

Worth knowing

The menu leans into smoothies, build-your-own acai bowls and high-protein, lower-calorie snacks, with a warm porridge bar in the colder months. It is a quick refuel rather than a sit-down meal. Hours run Wednesday to Saturday from 8am to 3pm and Sunday from 10am to 2pm, with Monday and Tuesday closed, so plan around the back half of the week.

Close by with the dogs

The main Torquay surf beach and foreshore paths are a short walk downhill, so the natural rhythm is walk first, smoothie after. Check council signage for current on-lead and off-lead beach times before unclipping, or head for the Jan Juc Dog Beach a few minutes west. Sandbah Cafe is the other dog-friendly cafe stop nearby on the list.

More surf-coast options sit under the VIC cafes listing, and the Torquay destination page rounds up the town's dog-friendly spots.
